my running commentary on your running commentary thatsleon February 23 2010, 04:37:25 UTC

SDKfjH YES I SHARE IN ALL YOUR FLAILINGS 100% HOLY SHIT. BRAD PITT WAS THE BEST ACHILLES EVER, DESPITE EVERYTHING. AND PATROCLUS IS SO FUCKING ADORABLE, I FORGET TO CARE THAT HE'S LIKE 20 YEARS TOO YOUNG. AND ERIC BANA & SEAN BEAN ARE GODS. AND MOVIE!BRISEIS NEEDS TO GDIAF.

I love Alexander looking up to Achilles, will never not love that. Me too. THERE ARE NO WORDS for how much I love it. ♥

"I fight for you." THIS KILLS ME. EVERY. FUCKING. TIME. I don't care if they want to say they're ~*COUSINS*~, there is some serious manlove in that scene, gay or not ( ... )

Re: my running commentary on your running commentary igrab February 23 2010, 04:53:16 UTC

if you write me achilles/patroclus, right now, even if it's tiny as fuck, i will seriously get down on my knees and kiss the ground you walk on, i am starving for it. (or a good rec, that works too)

i am actually watching random scenes from alexander now to calm down, because oliver stone makes me so happy, oh old men saying that the love between men is pure and wondrous and you can't love women that way and oh yes achilles and his ~lover patroclus. also "if i'm patroclus... i die first" asdhjgh *slain*

but seriously, brad pitt moves like a work of art. and i LOVED how ambiguous his invincibility was. for the sake of percy jackson and, like, my brain, i like to believe that he really was dipped in the styx, because it's such a cool thought - like, being primed from birth to be a great warrior, literallyand i seriously could care less that patroclus is supposed to be older, not when he looks ~so adorable~ and the contrast of achilles being like *nuzzlenuzzle* don't fight today bb and hector being like *wibble face, okay, go fight to ( ... )

ALAS I HAVE TO GO NOW, but I do have a relevant fic here. And recs that come to mind: this, this, and this. And, if you're craving something longer, this is the only chaptered A/P fic I've seen around the internets.

fff I love that quote about manlove from Alexander. Passionately.

And yeah, I liked how they didn't show any blatantly ~magical~ things but didn't entirely rule out the possibilities. :D (okay, except for Thetis looking pretty human, but we're going to ignore that because she provided the awesome necklace.)

LACK OF PATROCLUS MAKES ME ANGST HARDCORE TO THIS DAY

And oh no, I completely agree, the Greeks were the cunts here, but they made an EFFORT to make the Trojans look incompetent in the movie. "WHAT IS A STRATEGY, WE HAVE BIRD SIGNS LOL."

oh god, the third one. the alphabet one. i am dying. just. dying ( ... )

Re: my running commentary on your running commentary thatsleon February 23 2010, 20:08:01 UTC

IAWTC. I don't really have anything intelligent to say here. Except that I expect more use of the shiny new "cousin icwydt" tag. Because...seriously.

BRB FAPPING VIGOROUSLY TO THAT AVATAR.

Re: my running commentary on your running commentary igrab February 23 2010, 20:11:12 UTC

lol lol oh gods, most definitely. mnfgnmhm. actually will probably use that any time there is an OBVIOUS PLOT BEARD. i think that has got to get some sort of award for being the shittiest coverup story in all of, uh, forever.

and i'm writing some crazy zeus/ganymede or something. idek.

Re: my running commentary on your running commentary thatsleon February 23 2010, 21:17:35 UTC

lol seriously.

And yay, Zeus/Ganymede! <3

OH YEAH AND RE: SEASHELL NECKLACE, OH MY GOD WIBBLE. WIBBLE. except that then he gave it to briseis, which ruined EVERYTHING.

...

yeah, the entire time he was hunting for her? he just wanted the gd necklace back.

Re: my running commentary on your running commentary thatsleon February 23 2010, 05:16:00 UTC

I AM EMBRACING THIS WHOLE-HEARTEDLY. IT IS NOW CANON IN MY BRAIN.
