Obsessed with this Achilles and Patrocles pic Wikipedia uses as the main image for the Trojan War portal. Patrocles just FULLY dick and balls out. Flaunting bush. Achilles wrapping his wounded arm for him but he is NOT keeping his eyes on the bandaging situation. Insane choice
Main image from the Trojan War Wikipedia page, their description: "Achilles tending Patroclus wounded by an arrow, identified by inscriptions on the upper part of the vase. Tondo of an Attic red-figure kylix, ca. 500 BC."

Really into the scene in Book 19 of The Iliad where the Greeks are getting all fired up about going into battle alongside Achilles but Odysseus is like "Whoa whoa whoa wait pause. I am SO fucking hungry oh my god, are you guys hungry? Is anyone else like, dying to have dinner right now 🍽"
From Emily Wilson's translation of The Iliad: But sensible Odysseus spoke up. “Godlike Achilles, you are very strong, but do not urge the Greeks to fight the Trojans or make them march to Troy without a meal. The battle certainly will not be short after the armies meet and once the god inspires both sides with eagerness to fight. Tell them to sit beside the ships and taste some food and wine, the source of strength and courage. No man can fight all through the day till sunset fasting. He may be eager in his heart to fight, but gradually his limbs grow heavy, and as he moves, his body starts to hurt, and thirst and hunger overpower him. Someone who has his fill of food and wine can fight all day against the enemy.

Damn! Socrates got bars
(Excerpt from the Socratic Dialogue Phaedo:) And is it likely that the soul, which is invisible, in passing to the place of the true Hades, which like her is invisible, and pure, and noble, and on her way to the good and wise God, whither, if God will, my soul is also soon to go⁠—that the soul, I repeat, if this be her nature and origin, will be blown away and destroyed immediately on quitting the body, as the many say? That can never be, my dear Simmias and Cebes. The truth rather is, that the soul which is pure at departing and draws after her no bodily taint, having never voluntarily during life had connection with the body, which she is ever avoiding, herself gathered into herself;⁠—and making such abstraction her perpetual study⁠—which means that she has been a true disciple of philosophy; and therefore has in fact been always engaged in the practice of dying? For is not philosophy the practice of death?⁠— (with the last sentence highlighted bc damn okay!)

Update: Lysis is also a banger. This kid Hippothales asks Socrates to come hang out with him and his friends and Socrates is like "who's the hottest" of course, and Hippothales dithers so Socrates is all "omg you have a CRUSH" and Hippothales' friends are like "he does and it's SO annoying" lmaooo
Are you disposed, he said, to go with me and see them? Yes, I said; but I should like to know first, what is expected of me, and who is the favourite among you? Some persons have one favourite, Socrates, and some another, he said. And who is yours? I asked: tell me that, Hippothales. At this he blushed; and I said to him, O Hippothales, thou son of Hieronymus! do not say that you are, or that you are not, in love; the confession is too late; for I see that you are not only in love, but are already far gone in your love. Simple and foolish as I am, the Gods have given me the power of understanding affections of this kind. Whereupon he blushed more and more. Ctesippus said: I like to see you blushing, Hippothales, and hesitating to tell Socrates the name; when, if he were with you but for a very short time, you would have plagued him to death by talking about nothing else. Indeed, Socrates, he has literally deafened us, and stopped our ears with the praises of Lysis; and if he is a little intoxicated, there is every likelihood that we may have our sleep murdered with a cry of Lysis. His performances in prose are bad enough, but nothing at all in comparison with his verse; and when he drenches us with his poems and other compositions, it is really too bad; and worse still is his manner of singing them to his love; he has a voice which is truly appalling, and we cannot help hearing him: and now having a question put to him by you, behold he is blushing. Ah, Hippothales, I said; what a noble and really perfect love you have found! I wish that you would favour me with the exhibition which you have been making to the rest of the company, and then I shall be able to judge whether you know what a lover ought to say about his love, either to the youth himself, or to others. Nay, Socrates, he said; you surely do not attach any importance to what he is saying. Do you mean, I said, that you disown the love of the person whom he says that you love? No; but I deny that I make verses or address compositions to him. He is not in his right mind, said Ctesippus; he is talking nonsense, and is stark mad. O Hippothales, I said, if you have ever made any verses or songs in honour of your favourite, I do not want to hear them; but I want to know the purport of them, that I may be able to judge of your mode of approaching your fair one. Ctesippus will be able to tell you, he said; for if, as he avers, the sound of my words is always dinning in his ears, he must have a very accurate knowledge and recollection of them.

That was from Charmides if you'd also like to see or revisit what happens when Socrates walks up in the club like "where the hot twinks at though?" Whole thing is GREAT so far, really makes it clear that Socrates was the most annoying bitch in all of Athens. He's so funny though I love him

It's a series of audio performances of Plato's Socratic Dialogues. And this is from a dialogue on TEMPERANCE!!!! Keep it in your toga Socrates damn
Then, when there had been enough of this, I, in my turn, began to make enquiries about matters at home⁠—about the present state of philosophy, and about the youth. I asked whether any of them were remarkable for wisdom or beauty, or both. Critias, glancing at the door, invited my attention to some youths who were coming in, and talking noisily to one another, followed by a crowd. Of the beauties, Socrates, he said, I fancy that you will soon be able to form a judgment. For those who are just entering are the advanced guard of the great beauty, as he is thought to be, of the day, and he is likely to be not far off himself. Who is he, I said; and who is his father? Charmides, he replied, is his name; he is my cousin, and the son of my uncle Glaucon: I rather think that you know him too, although he was not grown up at the time of your departure. Certainly, I know him, I said, for he was remarkable even then when he was still a child, and I should imagine that by this time he must be almost a young man. You will see, he said, in a moment what progress he has made and what he is like. He had scarcely said the word, when Charmides entered. Now you know, my friend, that I cannot measure anything, and of the beautiful, I am simply such a measure as a white line is of chalk; for almost all young persons appear to be beautiful in my eyes. But at that moment, when I saw him coming in, I confess that I was quite astonished at his beauty and stature; all the world seemed to be enamoured of him; amazement and confusion reigned when he entered; and a troop of lovers followed him. That grown-up men like ourselves should have been affected in this way was not surprising, but I observed that there was the same feeling among the boys; all of them, down to the very least child, turned and looked at him, as if he had been a statue. Chaerephon called me and said: What do you think of him, Socrates? Has he not a beautiful face? Most beautiful, I said. But you would think nothing of his face, he replied, if you could see his naked form: he is absolutely perfect. And to this they all agreed. By Heracles, I said, there never was such a paragon, if he has only one other slight addition. What is that? said Critias. If he has a noble soul; and being of your house, Critias, he may be expected to have this. He is as fair and good within, as he is without, replied Critias. Then, before we see his body, should we not ask him to show us his soul, naked and undisguised? he is just of an age at which he will like to talk.

Playlist is in chronological order through their albums which is the way to go imo to really experience their evolution from a mirror held up to pop-punk and reflecting it back well to that mirror shattering on the ground but still reflecting you feel me. Anyway here are some photos of Awsten Knight
Awsten Knight from Waterparks with pale pink hair getting his nose licked by a tuxedo cat Awsten Knight from Waterparks with red hair and a collar that says "intellectual property" on it from the Funeral Grey video which you should watch. I love that song Awsten Knight from Waterparks with red hair and a collar getting tugged around on a leash. Is it possible to be pandered to retroactively bc this video is from last year and I got into them like three weeks ago Awsten Knight from Waterparks with I think possibly his natural brown hair and also eyelashes which I keep being like "does he have eyelash extensions or what??! jesus!!!!" when I see them but he's a Youth here so I guess they're just like that. He's cuddling a fluffy grey cat uggggh I love him

Wore this top which is definitely supposed to go under a dirndl dress Austrian-style and got a whole "I hope you don’t mind me saying so, ma’am, but you look stunning today" from an older gentleman in overalls so YEAH, I’d say it’s a hit with the right crowd

God, WHATEVER!!! Back in my day we walked six miles uphill both ways just to get excited about Brendon and Ryan sitting really close to each other on a couch when Panic! At The Disco was real. I'm going to gnaw my own fingers off
Photocollage I stole from Twitter of Michael and Awsten incl screenshots from the GMAB video, pics from their gay little photoshoots, red carpet pics from their Grammy Museum event, hugging and kissing onstage at Michael's shows, and selfies where they're looking at me judgmentally sometimes with a kitty cat filter
