like. is εἴδωλον (or σκιά) as concrete a practical theatrical term as πρόσωπον. that's really my question. can εἴδωλον mean (in terms of the whole body) portrayal/costume/role in the way that πρόσωπον means face/mask/role? is a "performance" of a character an εἴδωλον????
Pac: It's always very cool to meet the people from QSMP. I consider us all to be like a family, you know? They're great friends that I made in a very cool phase in my life, and I'm going to carry them with me forever. It's a type of friendship where you can continue exactly where you left off, you know? I see them, we exchange ideas, we talk, it's very cool, we say goodbye, and when we see each other again we continue exactly where we left off, you know? It's very cool! Because sometimes we go a long time without talking, but we still have this affinity, this friendship, and care for the others. And I'm saying this about all the people from QSMP, I specifically met those two [Fit and Baghera], but with any of the people from QSMP I have this same affection, you know? It's very cool, man, it's very cool.
if bereal has a million haters, then i am one of them. if bereal has ten haters, then i am one of them. if bereal has only one hater then that is me. if bereal has no haters i am no longer on this earth. if the world loves bereal than i am against the world
okay thinking COMPLETELY objectively, you can factor relationships into this but ONLY if it would actually affect how the characters would work in an apocalypse, and you can use saga as a reference, choose a 6 person team out of these characters:
Juliet
May
Romeo
Frankie
Angelique
William
Anne
Crop Top Richard
Fletcher
Thomas
Eleanor
Gregory
Caroline
ItaliAnnie
Karinsky Richard
Del
Charlie
Jeff
Britta
LesbiAnnie
Pierce
Shirley
Troy
Abed
Angel
Collins
Mark
Roger
Mimi
Maureen
Joanne
Charley
Mary
Frank
Beth
uhhh this is hard i love how you threw rent in there btw
okay. important question. does this run on saga logic aka is Caroline immune because if yes than definitely her. also does Romeo come back from being a zombie bc also him for similar reasons. Abed i still think is good to have around for strategic reasons. if we're talking Rent, I'm going to throw Angel in the mix because I mean if she can kill a dog, I trust her to be able to think logically instead of emotionally which. in an apocalypse is pretty useful imo. I think let's get Juliet too actually, Romeo can probably function better if she's there plus they're power couple and because she's been good at zombie apocalypse I'm ignoring the darker timeline for now because tbf she did survive for pretty long. and I want Mary in there because i mean she's also survived this long in darker timeline and. okay wait i need time to make up a logic based excuse. i dunno she can be optimistic but she can also be a realist if needed and i think that's good
Okay so I've finished the underworld saga, but am plagued by ideas for the rest of act one, but do yall want to go ahead and have the Underworld, or wait and post them in order (which will mean a small wait in between each)?
Broke: vampires are vulnerable to the trappings of Christianity only, particularly Catholicism, no matter how dubiously applied. (See: Van Helsing's Communion wafer grouting).
Woke: vampires are vulnerable to sincere faith of all kinds, and atheist vampire-hunters need to believe very strongly in the Power of Friendship or their love of Star Trek to get by.
Bespoke: vampires are vulnerable to the faith that they followed when they were alive, and hunters tracking down an ancient vampire are obliged to learn about Neo-Babylonian theology or Middle Palaeolithic bear cults.
when odysseus says ὁρῶ γὰρ ἡμᾶς οὐδὲν ὄντας ἄλλο πλὴν | εἴδωλ᾽ ὅσοιπερ ζῶμεν ἢ κούφην σκιάν i am SO tempted to translate it as something like "i see that we who live are nothing but characters and fiction"
I missed the beginning of the event so I’ve only now gone back to watch Martyn’s intro and…
I love that Martyn has like A Job; he’s doing tech and set up stuff, he’s reading the donos like a champ. Still a non-hermit hermit-friend but with Work Experience. Like someone was like ‘oh we need a dono reader,’ remembered Martyn has done it, and reached out.
Meanwhile. Jimmy is Just There.
It makes perfect sense! Don’t get me wrong! Once Grian and Martyn are in the same location there’s like a 99% chance he’ll be there too. Not to mention Ranchers, old Evo friends, and just the life series in general-
But it is incredibly funny cause it’s like:
The Hermits, their IT guy, and also Jimmy.
Who is Jimmy you ask? He’s Jimmy. What’s he doing? Being Jimmy. Next question.
