wow its so cool how many little details from the iliad you've managed to work into this omg

like when andromache says her parents couldn't come to her match, is that supposed to be like when she tells hector he's her father, mother, brother, and husband in 6?? wow that is so cool and thorough and clever. also LOVE that andromache gets to be a badass with a sword in this, cause all the women get to do in the actual iliad is like...cry. and like, don't get me wrong, as a woman, i love to cry. but i also love swords. so this is kinda doing it for me.

ANYWAY i guess what im trying to say is i highkey stan you now?? hope you're cool with having a stan. i will NOT be chill about it.

YES ANOTHER CHAPTER! I love this so much. Like, they are all such awkward children, it's kind of hilarious. (It's characters like these that make me understand why Tolkien made hobbits children until age 30.)

Were Ray Ban and Donut crying? I kind of want to know their backstory now...

Also sidenote- I listened to bowerbird like three times today, it's so good.

You know just last week I was saying to my friends “the last chapter of the chilliad like just came out but it would be so nice if there were a new one to give me a drip of serotonin” and boy oh boy did you deliver. I feel like I manifested this. I feel like a witch.
