Lily: Babe, are you sure this is ethical? Sabah: It might be a little sketchy, but I need to make stronger constructions, just in case, and the fabric and leather is needed for clothing. Lily: And do I have to advertise it? Sabah: I'm too short to spin the sign 🥺 Lily: Ugh, fine. Let's get this over with. Come one, come all, to Parian and Foil's Circumcision Emporium! Cleanest cuts on Gimel!

i think Dennis, like many other sexual assault survivors, takes the mentality of "if sex doesn't mean anything, then nothing was taken from me." His conquest of sleeping with as many women as possible is a futile attempt to rewrite the narrative of his assault, to gain control of a situation in which he was powerless.

But sex with Mac.... sex with Mac would mean something. Dennis would be forced to acknowledge Ms. Klinsky violated him in a way that matters. He would have to acknowledge he hurt himself trying to cope by neglecting his need for intimacy.

It's not enough she stole something from Dennis as a teenager, but she also stole his life afterward. Dennis finally has the opportunity to fully be with the man he loves, and he just can't, because that means she won.

for you, i would ruin myself chapter 1: remus pov

“Fuck, Sirius. What are you doing?”

A pathetic attempt at grasping some sort of resolve, the last sliver of restraint that he had left, slipping between his fingers. Because he knew this was wrong, that he’d be shattering something good. Something nice that’d replaced the burning hole of Sirius that was left in his heart. 

But Remus was weak and Sirius was spitting, holding his gaze as a thick glob of drool dripped past his parted lips. Closed his fist round and pressed down, slick fingers coating his cock.

Tilted his head and smirked. “Do you want to fuck me, Moony?”

You know I used to think "tumblr's absolute refusal to actually engage with the Trolley Problem in favor of insisting that there must be a third, morally pure option that doesn't require them to make a hard decision and anyone who asks them to make a binary choice is just a short-sighted idiot is really fucking annoying, but I guess it's not actually doing any harm".

Anyway that was before we asked tumblr at large to decide between "guy aiding a genocide but making progress elsewhere" and "guy who would actively and enthusiastically participate in a genocide and would also make everything else much, much worse for everyone elsewhere" and the response was that there must be a third, morally pure option that doesn't require them to make a hard decision and that anyone who asks them to make a binary choice is a short-sighted idiot.

i've noticed just how often achilles' dragging of hector's corpse is framed mostly as an act of extreme disrespect, or only some brutal show of triumph. personally i think that's underselling both achilles' intention and what the trojans must be thinking as they watch it happen.

hector's corpse is divinely protected so it can't be damaged by the greeks after death; all that effectively happens in the iliad is that his body gets dirty. but under normal circumstances (and i'm not gonna impose realism on mythology, but the iliad is famously detailed when it comes to bodily trauma), the physical reality of dragging a corpse along stony ground for miles would be severe disfigurement and dismemberment. first the skin would wear off, then soft tissues, then extremities would start to detach. i think the iliad's original audience would be aware of that as an intended outcome.

achilles (who doesn't yet know that hector's body has been granted divine stasis) doesn't just want to parade his enemy's corpse around, he wants to tear it apart ("i only wish that this fury inside my heart would drive me to carve you to pieces and eat your flesh raw..."), he wants it to not resemble a human anymore. he wants hector's blood and flesh to circle the city of troy. he wants to make it impossible for hector's family to gather the pieces of him to cremate and that way hector's spirit won't find passage into the underworld. that's what the gods are preventing from happening, they're not just keeping the corpse pretty for priam to pick up later.

ekko describing jinx from his timeline to powder as someone who's just different but whose ideas change the world. jayce saying to machine herald!viktor that his imperfections are a part of everything that made him so admirable. powder getting mesmerized when she sees different timeline!ekko before he leaves. jayce building his whole life around the idea he got from different timeline!viktor when he saved him. love does transcend reality after all

I think, perhaps one of the funniest things to come from EPIC popularising the Odyssey is that now a ton of people think Poseidon wanted to kill Odysseus.

In the Odyssey, Poseidon has no intention of killing Odysseus. In fact, part of the whole reason Zeus lets Poseidon do whatever he wants even though he thinks Odysseus is rad and should get to kiss his wife is explicitly because Poseidon had no intentions of killing Odysseus. Poseidon wanted to pay back the suffering/inconvenience blinding Polyphemus would have caused. It's a really abstract thing tbh. How do you pay back someone permanently disabling your son? Poseidon's solution was just to amputate Odysseus from his other half; i.e. Penelope. The end game was never murder, it was always an endurance race.

(Od. Book 1: Zeus reassuring Athena that he is not, in fact, a part of Odysseus Hater-Nation. Trans. Robert Fagles)

Also, for those wondering if there's any sort of in text reason for why Poseidon wasn't around in God Games - at the time in the Odyssey when Athena petitions Zeus to let Odysseus leave Calypso's island, Poseidon was -checks notes- on vacation in Ethiopia. Yep. He left to Ethiopia for a festival and thusly was very much absent for Athena's whole "please let Ody go? Please? 🥺" request.

(Od. Book 1: While Odysseus was suffering, Poseidon went to party in the east)

I am begging y'all to read the Odyssey. It's a comedy for everyone except Odysseus and Penelope who are, in fact, suffering 24/7 365.
