listen. listen. they had character development in different directions. Odysseus learned to be the monster and avoid risk by being ruthless to enemies and his own crew, while Eurylochus gained some trust in their ability to win against impossible odds (he wanted to fight Scylla instead of sacrificing people to her) and he spares Odysseus and bandages him after mutinying. which end up costing him everything. i'm gonna be sick

my best friend and I got into a non-serious fight after she read in In Other Lands because in the famous Luke called Elliot a friendless, familyless, loveless fuck-up and so Elliot called him bitchless and slept with his sort of crush of 3 years debacle, she came down on Luke's side and I am STAUNCHLY on Elliot's.

And, at the time, my defense was, "well, Luke doesn't even actually like Dale all that much," and hers was, "But Elliot doesn't know that." and True!

But here's the thing. I am not always an Elliot defender. He often does bad things... but this is maybe the only time in the series where Elliot actually pulls his punches and Luke does not.

Like let's be honest here... Luke said, I would like to HURT this guy, and went for his CORE insecurity. One that Luke identified probably early in their friendship (and noticed that Elliot NEVER talked about) and went straight for the jugular. He said, You don't have ANYBODY, and you might think sometimes that you have me or Serene, but you don't.

And Elliot... did not go for Luke's core insecurity. His best friend had been constantly revealing to him for weeks how deeply he self-loathed himself for being half harpy. And it would've been easy to say, "Well, I may not have family, but at least I'm not turning into a monster. At least I'm not a freak." And Elliot, well he very much did not do that.

Whether it was something he decided was too over the line, or whether it didn't occur to him because it's just so far from what he actually thinks of Luke, I think that says something.

Do y’all think siblings in medieval times would look at the little beasts in illuminated manuscripts and point at each other like ‘ha! ‘Tis thou!’

no sentence fills me with utter loathing so much as "i asked chatgpt"

Ok no matter how you feel about this helmet design (personally I like it) you have to admit that you wouldn't expect this thing to have a real face under there

"you should read orv and develop a sense of self by over-relating to this piece of fiction" is actually great advice but only for people who are already into basing their sense of self off of fiction. people who don't need that don't have to be kim dokja. i think they can still spend some time with him and get a lot out of that but they don't need to be kim dokja. me though. i need it
