trying to make modern aus for sci-fi/fantasy fandoms like star wars (especially ones with heavy political themes) is so funny bc wdym some guy named sheev palpatine beat bush in the 2004 election

and the thing is hector would’ve loved a giant wooden horse

i would really love to see jorge make some of the women of troy pretty major players in his ilium musical— helen, cassandra, and andromache specifically.

for andromache specifically i think he has the really cool opportunity to add some elements of just a man into her final conversation with hector (he cannot beat achilles because he’s “just a man” while achilles is a demigod) or use the melody in a lullaby for astyanax 💔

anyways i’m super hyped to see how he paints the story bc there are really so many ways and perspectives you can tell it from

so i’m reading the hunchback of notre dame book after being super fixated on the movie + disney musical for a while and to my shock and horror victor hugo’s phoebus is just below frollo on the Worst Guys Ever list

the whole trojan war could have been avoided if paris just. ate the apple in one comically large bite. athena, hera, and aphrodite would have been stunned into silence.

guess who’s back… back again…

[astrothii]

Star Wars really said "Anakin Skywalker had issues rooted in childhood trauma that was not his fault" but also "Anakin made his own choices as an adult for which he alone is responsible" but ALSO "In spite of the truly evil things he chose to do Anakin was still capable of being loved and redeemed" and I think that's important.
