Supernatural – 1.22: Devil's Trap

Well, you and Dad are a lot more alike than I thought. You know that? You both can't wait to sacrifice yourself for this thing. But you know what? I'm gonna be the one to bury you.

birth of a saint

[starsandsupernovae]

Imagine you’re some little evil woman sitting in Hades’ throne room when Orpheus walks in to make a deal to get Eurydice back, and Hades is like “yeah ok, just don’t look back otherwise she has to stay here” then walks out of the room. Almost immediately after hearing the conditions, Orpheus breaks his own neck so that it is physically impossible for him to turn it, and then demands that you gouge out his eyes for good measure. Eurydice then gets really upset because she’s convinced this is a sign that Orpheus hates her and never wants to see her again, and Orpheus is completely convinced that this was a normal and logical thing to do.

You are literally the only person in the universe who recognizes this as an act of love. They both then insult you to your face for thinking this is anything other than very normal (Orpheus), or petty hatred (Eurydice).

You are Ianthe Tridentarius.

holidays in the nav-nonagesimus household

[starsandsupernovae]

“Odysseus ripped off his rags. Now naked, / he leapt upon the threshold with his bow / and quiverfull of arrows, which he tipped / out in a rush before his feet, and spoke.

“‘Playtime is over. I will shoot again, / towards another mark no man has hit. / Apollo, may I manage it!’

“He aimed / his deadly arrow at Antinous. / The young man sat there, just about to lift / his golden goblet, swirling wine around, / ready to drink. He had no thought of death. / How could he? Who would think a single man, / among so many banqueters, would dare / to risk dark death, however strong he was? / Odysseus aimed at his throat, then shot. / The point pierced all the way through his soft neck. / He flopped down to the side and his cup slipped / out of his hand. A double pipe of blood / gushed from his nostrils. His foot twitched and knocked / the table down; food scattered on the ground. / The bread and roasted meat were soiled with blood. / Seeing him fall, the suitors, in an uproar, / with shouts that filled the hall, jumped up and rushed / to search around by all the thick stone walls / for shields or spears to grab—but there were none. / They angrily rebuked Odysseus.”

Homer. The Odyssey. Translated by Emily Wilson, Norton, 2018.

Continues to be insane to me that instead of epic the musical including the bit of the odyssey where Odysseus has to rejoin society by asking for help from a young woman and then going to see this other royal family happy together hearing tales of his adventures which reduce him to tears the musical decides to cut all this so Odysseus can stab at the ocean and be big angry warrior man

[starsandsupernovae]

ok. not to be petty and a hater. but it's pretty funny to see epic the musical fans insisting that any extra-homeric myths about odysseus don't count because "the odyssey is canon"

someone asks dean if he'll fuck his clone and he's like hahaha of course I'm so hot and it's not gay if it's my clone and then you put his clone in front of him and he shoots it.
