Bro is writing a whole essay on how wrong I am (and people in the comments are) because I said Odysseus was a SA victim and not a cheater ☠️

List of weird shit Clarke included :

The space odyssey series certainly was a ride. There’s a lot of great elements to it and some… not so much. A good deal, especially in later books, becomes a bunch of real weird and specific stuff either he’s horny about and … if I have to be scarred so do you.

Some of this is just funny/specific and not “bad” weird, will specify.

Sex toys on the discovery

The nipple thing

Everyone is super into diving as a hobby in 2010 (just funny)

“The pleasures and pitfalls of zero G sex we’re greatly exaggerated” (something along the lines of this, just funny)

Dave having a messed up grief fueled situationship with his dead older brothers girlfriend (WHY)

Space divorce (funny)

Heywood seeing Starchild Dave as higher being because he didn’t form a dick (he could very loosely make a outline of a human form only detailing the eyes but Floyd wanted full nude apparently)

Ship rape

Jupiter explodes and becomes a second sun and everyone’s just cool with that.

Pangea is implied to have reformed killing thousands and everyone’s just sort of cool with that

“Bioluminescent orgasm”

Heywood gets the shits from drinking comet water

Random Gay couple with a parrot (just funny)

Having chips in your hand with all identifying information and NEEDING them to do anything along with NEEDING the brain cap and it not being a choice (cyberpunk dystopia who? Maybe I’m just jaded)

When going through the brain cap testing Frank “for a moment he even had a violent erection”

Religion is eradicated and “icky” but religion still technically exists

Implied sexual relationships with genetically enhanced gorillas

Dinosaurs and wings are a thing

The astronautics agency drugged their food with anti-horny drugs without their knowledge

Anti-circumcision plot point (like the bald thing in sounds like a personal issue the author should sort out.)

Criminals are basically mind controlled non people doing the undesirable jobs

Frank gets put in a suite dedicated to Dave. Pictures and everything (That’s so cruel lmao)

3 decade and 15 year time skip where a boyfriend blows up, Frank speed runs starting a family and getting divorced. It is a time skip that changes little as everything resets to status quo

I think Fëanor should be put in an odyssey >:3c

I love in Different Beast they emphasize “Odysseus” in a way that also feels like it could be just a call out to the translation of his name “to be hated by many” at the very end.

Like.

Suffering and Different Beast feels like Epic Act 2: Odysseus; He is Hated By Many.

They’re on honeymoon

Nap time 💤

Headcannon: Hal loves to sleep on Dave’s chest, so he can hear his heart beat. It makes him feel comfortable.

deeP RECONnaissance: 3, 2, 1... Contract!

I still have a copy of Duathi Marauder which has “Poffter” written on it in pen. Teenagers in the early 00s just casually throwing around (mispelt) slurs? That shouldn’t be a shock. But why did a friend of mine scrawl that on one of my cards? Well, it was after we had played our first, and probably only, game of Five Colour. Which probably means very little to most people these days, either.…

Sometimes you need a good trauma vent au and for me that’s with Glenn, after prison where instead of wanting to kill his dad in revenge he just is so tired of how his life went to shit and decides to see if he can just. Be with his dad again and run scams like they used to because at least he’s with him, that’s all they used to have anyways- not like Glenn has anything else.

I like the idea Bill shit talked Christine to Glenn a LOT. She had to do the hard parts of parenting while he did all the fun stuff- took Glenn on random vacations- was also immature and kept the kid upstairs in his room while throwing a party with some friends- but overall it could be explained away as fun and chill ‘loosen up’ shit. Christine meanwhile was ‘always nagging’ (trying to be responsible) and ‘bleeding him dry’ (asking for financial support for their child.) In my heart I think Glenn was always kept under his thumb Yknow? And the fact he didn’t see his dad super often emphasized the appeal. He was a daddy’s boy who maybe didn’t start unpacking his trauma until his dad DIED. Only realized he might’ve sucked after talking to Morgan about it. I mean we see Glenn jump between aggressively hating his dad and thinking his dad was chill BEFORE prison- he had mixed opinions on that guy.

So something about falling back into that same thing of. Now he recognizes how fucked up his dad was. But he also knew his dad made him feel loved in a really fucked up way. And he kinda needed it Yknow? They both need to get out of a shitty situation- and Glenn can sometimes ignore how bad he feels because the authority and decisionmaking is out of his hands- he follows orders and gets praised for it. And really what else does he need? (Therapy)

Idk that’s my 6 am thoughts

[druidshollow]

"what would your character be like without their trauma?" is such a hard question for me because it makes me feel like a massive asshole LMAO

(im attaching a picture of a tundra literally to add context to my ramble in the tags because my posts are structured by a sane person) (you should read the ramble in the tags i talk so much about rivers fsr)
