Guys ngl I think six hundred strike might kill me, like you may never hear from me again I’m going to be lost to the void

[clowneryandshenanegans]

Ok, but imagine if Odysseus told Zeus to kill him instead of the crew

Imagine they look on in horror as he smiles one last time and says, “tell Penelope I said goodbye” before his body is filled with so much electricity that his skin burns in an instant, lets out the most gut-wrenching scream they’ve ever heard even after 10 years of war, and collapses onto the ships floor.

Imagine they get back to Ithaca, without their captain, surrounded by the citizens of a king who doesn’t exist anymore.

Imagine Ctimene embracing Eurylochus with all her energy, then looking to find her brother.

Imagine Penelope, weary with sleepless nights, running to them, crying to see her husband again, 13 year old Telemachus following behind her, clinging to her skirts.

Imagine the crew turning to avoid her gaze, only Eurylochus being able to face her with the words: “he said he loved you until his dying breath.”

Imagine Penelope collapsing and screaming like Odysseus did, like she’d been struck down by Zeus as he had. Ctimene and Telemachus trying to comfort her. Ctimene crying herself.

Just imagine it.

DO NOT HOUND THE ACTORS FOR INFO ABOUT SEASON 2

This SAG strike is a no promotion strike, meaning that if any actor who is a part of the guild promotes a show or movie in any way, they will be kicked out of the union.

This also goes for the writer's strike. The writers being on strike means that the editing for the show has most likely come to a complete stop. Any edit or change to the show requires approval from the writers, and if they give any feedback during the strike, they can be kicked out of the union.

This is why we haven't heard any news about Season 2. The editors and effects people literally CAN'T do their job during the strike.

IT'S TIME TO STOP COMPLAINING AND START SUPPORTING THE WRITERS AND ACTORS AND EDITORS WHOSE LIVLIHOODS ARE AT STAKE!

PoV: Sleep Token's conversation with Management once they found out they'd been flipping off the crowd:

Management: I need you to be frank with me. Did you give the crowd the middle finger on purpose?

Vessel:...

ii:...

iii: how can I be Frank? I'm iii

iv: *snorts*

Management, rubbing their temples: Please be serious for once

iv, deadpan: but you just told us to be Frank?

ii, on the verge of breakdown: God I'm so confused

Vessel: You need to stop renaming my band members! This is my band!

*Espera, Sam, Adam, Thom and the rest of the crew wheezing in the background while Management is close to tears*

Theory on how Odysseus defeated Poseidon

So! The Vengeance Saga is a banger. The only thing that bothered me about this Saga is how easy Poseidon was defeated. And I know I'm not the only one who lost a bit of their suspension of disbelief in this moment. That's one of the big gods! They're fighting above his domain, inside his storm!

It's not like Diomedes fighting Aphrodite and Ares (especially considering that he had Athena's help with the later). Still, we know Heracles wounded both Hera and Hades before, so that's a precedent!

However, the jet pack six hundred strike kept bothering me, even as i rationalized it. Some people say maybe Ares helped him out, as a favor to Athena, using Dark Quick-Thought on him (I didn't hear his sound on the music, though, so I don't favor this theory). Others say Hermes slipped him a bit of moly (Jorge would have shown us if he had done that). Here's another theory for you all.

The prophet's profecy said:

I see you on the brink of death I see you draw your final breath I see a man who gets to make it home alive But it's no longer you

This is, of course, a metaphorical death. In the beginning, I thought this last breath referred to the moment he drowns in the Thunder Saga, but now I'm firmly convinced that it's that moment Poseidon hits him with his god move. Why? Because we see the spirits of his men.

In "Love in Paradise", we see Odysseus hearing the voices of the people he lost for the first time (outside the underworld, that is). I believe that in this moment it's a sign of his grief, and that he is essentially hallucinating, mainly because we never see any of his men. I believe differently for the moment in "Get in the Water".

I believe that in "Get in the Water", he is very close to dying. And this closeness to death allows the people he loved to reach him. We actually see the people he lost, them reaching out to him. His mother, Polites and Eurylochus, it's their songs. But the soldiers? They're Waiting. For what? His death? No, I believe it's for vengeance. And right after that, we see his eyes begin to glow red, the sign of his monstrosity.

In Six Hundred Strike, there is the voice of the crew singing "Six Hundred". Odysseus can't create his own choir. Poseidon wouldn't call up the voices of Ody's crew to emphasize his defeat. So where are their voices coming from?

TL;DR: The Six Hundred Strike is only possible because Ody is carrying (literally) the strength, and grief, and desire for vengeance of his 600 men.

Does this theory make me fully satisfied? No. But it's my headcanon.

[friendshiptothemax]

In a weird way, it’s kind of exciting? It feels like tomorrow is the first day of school. We’re supposed to get our picket line assignments in the morning — obviously will immediately be followed by texting everyone I know to see where they’ll be. I’m kind of looking forward to my first shift, going and finding out who all are going to be my co-workers, so to speak, for the foreseeable future. Will they be nice? Tomorrow am I going to meet someone for the first time who is going to turn out to be a lifelong friend? Anyway, Union strong!
