Writing high fantasy is harder for me than it used to be because I'll write "The door swung open" and I'll imagine some tumblr user with three different grad degrees in medieval history dunking on me with a 2,000-word post about how door hinges weren't invented until 1956 and before that they'd just smash them open with axes and rebuild them each time.

Its really funny that Epic has this awesome number where Athena has to convince the gods to let Odysseus go free, while in the Odyssey it boils down to "Guys, Posidon is on vacation in Ethiopia, while he's gone lets just free Odysseus" and everyone is immediately on board

thinking about the time this summer when elon musk recommended everyone read the iliad (specifically the penguin classics edition as an audiobook at 1.25x speed) and really can't stop laughing about it because 1. there are few people on this earth who could miss the point of the iliad quite as hard as this guy 2. the edition he linked to is a shitass translation from 1946 3. the book he linked was actually an audiobook of the odyssey

i want a seer/priestess to jump up in the middle of the ithacan court and scream 'nobody loves you' at penelope around 17 years after odysseus left for war

and she's like 'ok rude' until odysseus comes home and tells her everything that happened while he was gone

he gets to the cyclops part and tells her his 'nobody' trick and it all clicks

Ich bin gerade mega verwirrt und will deshalb mal was rausfinden... Die Infokarten sind nämlich alle verschieden und widersprechen sich teilweise 🤔

Egal ob ihr Bezug dazu habt oder nicht (ich selbst hab gar keinen Bezug zum Thema).
