there's a trojan war suburban au that only exists in my and izzie @wizardjail's heads where agamemnon owns a greek restaurant chain that keeps buying up other restaurants and priam has a family-owned turkish restaurant, and also all their kids go to the same schools. paris comes home from college and has an affair with helen, and in revenge the atreides try to destroy priam's business. they get odysseus involved because he's their only friend with a real business degree. odysseus files a disability claim to get out of contract but palamedes pushes telemachus' stroller into traffic, forcing odysseus to sprint after it to rescue him. agamemnon 'ruins iphigenia's future' by taking the minivan when she was supposed to be at an archery tournament, thus missing her chances of getting scouted; after which agamemnon and clytemnestra get divorced, but keep having more kids, because odysseus is anonymously suicide-baiting agamemnon and unintentionally driving him back to his ex-wife's arms. the pta is in shambles.

this time on "dialogues charlie slimecicle has given that should be in a movie":

"So there was NEVER a good ending! There was NEVER A TRUE ENDING FOR ME! I WAS ALWAYS DOOMED TO DEPRAVITY, AND GOD HAD RIGGED THIS WRETCHED GAME FROM THE DAMN START."

the delivery on "I was always doomed to depravity" gave me chills, why is this man so good at acting

Hi~ who do we ship hector with thanks :)

look, i don't want to be mean, but i'm begging you to please engage with media without a lens of shipping characters together every once in a while. just read the iliad and enjoy it for what it is and you'll get much more out of it than if you go in looking for ships.

penelope didn't have to turn the tree bed into a riddle. she could have asked odysseus to prove his identity, to tell her something only he would know — which she actually did a few books earlier, when she asked the beggar to describe odysseus, and odysseus told her about a purple cloak with a particular golden brooch that she fastened herself twenty years ago. when penelope tells telemachus they have signs by which they'll know each other, you sort of expect more of the same. and instead, she decides to trap him. like a bug in a cup.

and it's delightful to me, idk, how odysseus has been trapped and cornered in various way throughout the odyssey, but arguably never so that he has to tell the truth to get out. (with the phaeacians, maybe? the omniscient narrator corroborates some of what he tells them, but do we really know everything?) and in fact he is not trying to get free of penelope. he wants something from her, wants to convince her, wants to be welcomed home, but until this point he's lied to her, revealed himself to other people before her, and been distant with her (though also patient! he doesn't try to strongarm or rush her into accepting him; it's his idea to sleep elsewhere).

except penelope isn't looking for him to be distant and patient. penelope lies in a way that requires odysseus to stop playing along — not only to prove that he knows what odysseus knows, but that he's willing to tell the truth about himself.

situation:

you are in your mid forties, and have this friend who's your age that you've known for decades

except you two sort of lost touch a few years ago. he's been busy with work, and now he's kinda famous? good for him!

but now your friend has this... buddy - a man half your age (about twenty years your junior)

your friend tells you he's written a will that says all his estate goes to this buddy. like, your friend is a childless bachelor, so its not like he has a clear heir, but like. this doesn't add up. your friend always was... eccentric, queer if you will, but you didn't expect him to do something like this

and when you finally meet this buddy, you hate him. everyone you know hates him. the buddy is an asshole, and just being around him is enough to unsettle you. something's deeply wrong with him, but you might also just be biased

and also its really vague where this buddy even comes from? neither the buddy nor your friend will tell you. they've asked you to stop asking, and you aren't going to break the law to violate their privacy

also. you keep hearing these weird rumors. your bestie says the buddy is satanic. your friend's staff say that the buddy is nocturnal and doesn't eat. the buddy also seems to be able to travel completely undetected in the city and disappears randomly
