Hey guys not to be rude or hate on anyone but I don’t understand people’s issue with understanding Calypso as a character. Like she’s sympathetic and simultaneously a terrible person- what’s hard to understand there??

——————————————————

⚠️ mentions of rape, aggressive ranting (I am not being nice, I am not sorry)

——————————————————

Is it new to people to discover that a character can be awful and irredeemable while also being understandable and sympathetic? She objectively sucks and is a bad person but having basic empathy for her is normal- you’re not supposed to stop seeing someone as a person when they do something shitty.

Like I have empathy for everything she’s gone through but going through bad things doesn’t give you the right to do bad things to others and whether she understood what was happening or not I do not think she deserves good things. Also her not knowing about consent or understanding proper behavior because she’s been alone for so long is only a valid excuse for so long?? Like yeah at first her being so intense can be explained that way but after Odysseus explicitly says “No, I am married” that doesn’t really work anymore.

Not sorry for loving you is classic manipulation and blame shifting and even if it’s unintentional, usually a person being so unable to see when they’ve done something wrong and should just own it is not the sign of a good person. Also again she’s not stupid Ody explicitly said no many times which means she knew he absolutely was not on board so… idk maybe we’re infantilizing her a bit because we feel sympathy and she has a pretty voice?

We all know that if the roles were reversed and it was a man acting this way towards a woman we would be so vehemently against him and would not want to feel empathy for him- the energy should not change because she’s a pretty lady voiced by an incredible singer.

A rapist is a rapist is a rapist and even if you don’t believe that she did that in Epic she still tries to coerce him into it despite knowing full well he doesn’t want to, that makes her an attempted rapist. Calypso is bad. Point blank period.

being too on tumblr is a crazy experience bc you will think to yourself "man. cannibalism is so cringe now all the most boring people alive are obsessed with it" and then realize that that is a sentence from insane world

Not a single one of those characters is a butch lesbian??? Maybe Jasper would possibly count but not even her really because the whole thing with the gems is that they don’t do gender in the way humans do so she’s not a woman and she’s not even not attracted to anyone we see in the show??? Like headcanons don’t count, that’s the whole point

we need to kill the hostages

Grabbing you by the shoulders. No no you don't get it Polities gave Odysseus genuine advice to let his guard down and starts trusting others after years of being nothing but a war general. Advice to just be him, a man, after a decade of violence.

And what does Odysseus get in reward for trying? Mislead twice by the lotus eaters, several men killed by a cyclops, and the god of the ocean on his ass for another ten years.

No wonder Polities haunts Odysseus through the rest of the sagas, he was the first man to die under Ody’s command and it was because he dared be something other than ruthless.

A friend who doesn't watch AtLA sent this to me captioned 'Zuko and Katara' and I feel like I'm doing fandom correctly

they didn't kiss but their destinies are intertwined forever. they didn't kiss but in every universe they find each other and only jayce can make viktor understand his faults. they didnt kiss but jayce doomed viktor to his fate as the machine herald and then saved him. they didn't kiss but their love literally saved the world

[confusedgayscreeching]

This is how that scene went right

[confusedgayscreeching]

If your husband actually signs the divorce papers you gave him you might just need to start an apocalypse about it…

Divorce Era Jayvik, my beloved, my dearest…

Jet from atla is so funny bc like, he's fighting zuko and taunting him being like "bet you wanna use some fire instead of those swords, dont u fireboy" which is a funny thing to say to a guy who is clearly very eager to fight using swords

Telemachus: I have to go to the bathroom crazy bad! *grabs Argos*

Odysseus: He brings his dog to the bathroom?

Poseidon: It smells like a dog.

Odysseus: You smell like a dog.

Poseidon: You LOOK like a dog. Poseidon: Hahaha-

Odysseus: Ahahahahaha… *cracks knuckles intimidatingly*

Poseidon: *flashbacks*

You ever think about how Athena told Odysseus one day he would understand her way of thinking and of not leaving your opponent alive, but not today "cause after all you're just a man"

and then he became a monster. And he understood.

You ever think about that?

[confusedgayscreeching]

Odysseus: I'm a monster. No god or mythical would ever see me as man, let alone my family...they're all going to hate me.

Them:
