OK so im getting a lot of traction on this post recently and i gotta come and clarify smth that i didnt realise and no one pointed out butttt:

the suitors are practically telemachus’ age if not younger. all 108-120 of them. antinous at best wouldve been maybe a couple of years older than telemachus, meaning that their fathers were also off at war with odysseus and therefore also did not get the education of patriachal bullshit ancient greeks received.

however the suitors probably had their grandfathers who wouldve taught them, whereas telemachus’ grandfather laertes moved away from the castle most likely after anticlea (his wife died).

telemachus only had his grieving mother and slaves to keep him company as well as the chaos wreaking suitors until athena showed up.

i'm rereading the odyssey (emily wilson's trans) cause epic: the musical is making me miss ancient texts. anyways as i was reading the second book, telemachus calls ithacans to council (the first since odysseus left) and he says to them that he has not been trained to fight whatsoever. and it just made me realise how important the patriach is in ancient greece, how it progresses society and the kings of ancient greece. like most if not all royalty at the time were trained in all areas.

it makes sense that suitors were able to take control cause telemachus didnt have that nurture or training that he wouldve gotten if odysseus had come home. and laertes was most likely too old to train telemachus. i bet that antinous or eurymachus or any of the suitors didnt want to take up their duty as men to teach telemachus.

honestly i feel kinda bad for telemachus cause he was missing so much experience other sons got.

i almost stepped on a bee today

and for once i did not care

i didnt stop and try and cradle it

like a porcelain doll, or a glass figurine

but all that progress crashed when

i almost stepped on another bee

and all my thoughts and worries

about it came rushing through

and i felt like the worst person

and even though i havent seen

or spoken to you in a long time

you recently came back unexpected

and i went back to square one

crawling back you, wanting and needing

that love, affection and attention

and maybe im the bees

that i almost stepped on

feeling like a glass statue

cracking and breaking

sticky tape and twitching breaths

holding me together but its not enough

all my temporary fixes turn into permanent

but are never made to permanent

im getting better; my sticky tape

healing into the glass, my twitching breaths

turn into slow deep breaths

yet i cannot stop the waterfall of tears

that threaten to fall when

i almost step on a bee

your bee…

my bee.

theres not really a reason for living

i dont see the point of breathing

day in and day out in this filth

that we all call home… how?

how can we call this shitty place

a home, our entire lives revolves

around this horrible earth with

worse people and environment

i dont want to live

for external and personal reasons

i dont care for how our planet is

nobody does

and maybe i should be sad

i look at sunsets, the sun, the moon, the stars

and wonder if it will be the last time i see them

i wonder and i cherish

its the only thing i love about this world

not the people. never the people

if i could save and immortalise one thing

i would save the beauty that the world gives us

despite how shitty we treat it, there will still be

flowers blooming, sun shining, stars twinkling

yet you all have the audacity to go about your lives

without the care or need to stop and appreciate beauty

Why do we constantly have to have “humans get transported to another world” storylines when it comes to live action adaptations? Why can’t it just be in-media-res? Why can’t the Minecraft movie follow the novelization where a guy randomly awakens in Minecraft with no idea who he is and just needs to learn how to survive… you know… LIKE HOW THE GAME IS. Why do we gotta bring people from outside the game world into Minecraft? Why do they look human but everything else is a CGI nightmare? You couldn’t pull a Detective Pikachu and just set your god damn plot IN Minecraft from the start?

And most importantly …

WHY CAN’T THE WHOLE MOVIE JUST BE ANIMATED? You’re already animating like 95% of the film already, just fucking make an animated film.

lol. I am living for the comments under the official trailer video.

[liberoquorion]

is there ever a too much, when everything is overwhelming and everyone is loud. its too much but all thats getting through is muted support and compassion. it feels and seems genuine but living in a world of greys and blacks has made it hard to comprehend light. muted but overwhelming. incomprehensible in big pieces, warming in nuggets.

regret wilts

like a rose

losing its petals

i know i shouldnt

but i do

cause its you

i have a lot of rules

and you break

every single one

your the exception

the only exception

to them all

and you scare me

you terrify me

but its ok

youd never hurt me

and thats what i dont understand

your kindness, your compassion

after all youve gone through

a mirror of myself; older, alive

you preach about love

i dont get it

but sometimes:

a small part of me

believes it

and ive never felt like that

ive never had that

i thought i would never get it

you seem unreachable

yet you exuberate warmth

your hugs albeit only recieved one

are comfort, secure, warm

safe.

i hate you

i hate you so much

but i dont

i fucking dont hate you at all

and i want to so much

i want more of you

more of your safety

like a baby bird

under its parents wing

protected, loved

regret wilts

like a rose

losing its petals

because i dont deserve it

it shouldnt be me

I love how this fandom is either

‘I love how Ares asked ‘is she dead?’ because it shows he still cares of her’

Or

‘Ares asking ‘is she dead?’ is so real because she was Zeus’ favourite child so he is scared for his life’

Or

‘Ares poking with his spear into Athena’s body ‘is she dead?’ was so funny he literally does not care and finds it amusing’
