Watched Shin Kamen Rider today as somebody who’s never seen any Kamen Rider show before but always vaguely wanted to get into it and the main message I got from Shin Kamen Rider was that Grasshoppers are really cool and underrated

Okay I'll stop being silly now. I really liked it ^_^ it was a really fun movie. Im not sure how like, Faithful it is to any of the previous Kamen Rider shows or like how lore accurate it is Again Ive never watched Kamen Rider before so for all I know actual Kamen heads think it’s the worst most baby bitch taste thing ever but I really enjoyed it. I really liked the characters and the costume design- it was very fast paced / pacing and plot is not very I feel like. I suppose MEANT to be super linear or easily cohesive. It took me I think the first 30 minutes to like Truly Get into it / Get used to the pacing and plot, same with the cinematography, though once I got used to it I did really enjoy the sort of dramatic weird cinematography and plot etc it had going on. The soundtrack was very cool and in general the movie felt like very loving of the aesthetics etc it was based off, like a lot of the hamminess felt Explicitly Deliberate as a labour of affection idk I might be talking out of my ass here. The ending left me with a nice fuzzy warm feeling in my antly heart. Idk. I liked it!

Anyways. Grasshoppers are really cool.

i was never a person to the FE fandom i was a content machine and when i failed to appropriately Generate Desired Content they would turn on me and i think that might've fucked me up a tad

[slippery-minghus]

thinking about joining a local jiu jitsu class.... i'm SO not athletic and have always had a pretty negative relationship with sports, ambivalent at best, but i WANT TO feel good in my body and maybe even learn how to use it a little better? maybe even get a little stronger?

there's a free "see if it's for you" class i can do tomorrow and the guy was super nice.... so maybe. just maybe an autistic fat queer like myself can go out in the world and get a hobby that involves moving my body. maybe

Re: that Hector post I reblogged. I LOVE to see that wider context of why Hector is so beloved and Achilles reviled, it’s fascinating. Definitely going to reread the Iliad with that in mind. I’ve been meaning to do a full reread for a while so that’s the inspiration I need. XD

That said, here’s why I personally have always liked Hector a lot. It’s not because he’s somehow overall nobler than the Greeks, it’s always been clear to me that everyone in the epic is, to put it mildly, a mess. No one’s free from flaw (and that’s the Point of the whole thing). There are two things that I always appreciated: one, that Hector is the leader of an embattled people and has been clearly doing a damn fine job, and two, he’s nice to Helen.

For that first one, the fact that Troy is still standing strong, has an inspired army defending it, and hasn’t collapsed from within says that Hector is doing his job as a leader well. I admire that. He’s a match for the clever and wise leaders among the Greeks. Things don’t really go wrong for Troy until after he’s killed. Lots of factors play into that, of course, but it’s clear that Hector’s death puts a huge crack in the morale of the Trojans.

Second one…look. Most people in the Iliad don’t treat Helen well. From the gods on down, she’s the target of open hate for a lot of people. At a minimum, she’s ostracized for her role in the war. Which, depending on your source, may not have been much. Maybe she was kidnapped outright by Paris thanks to the inspiration of Aphrodite, and had no say in the matter—and is now being treated horribly. Maybe she DID run away with Paris of her own volition—in which case we’re dealing with a young woman who got married to a much older man she didn’t choose, was rash about looking for love, and thanks to her role in society was probably not fully informed of the geopolitical consequences of her actions. In either case, by the time of the Iliad she pretty much seems to hate her life. Agency or no, Helen regrets the actions that brought her to Troy. She’s not being treated with kindness by the Trojans, Paris has really turned out to be nothing like she believed, and fleeing the city to reach the Greeks might very well result in her husband killing her for unfaithfulness. (Which, kudos to Menelaus, he actually does not do in the end.)

And then you get Hector. At his funeral, Helen is the last of the women to speak, after Andromache (his wife) and Hecuba (his mother). Helen says outright that Hector was frequently her only advocate. He took care of her as Paris should have, but didn’t, and considered her family despite the awful circumstances of her presence in Troy. That’s pretty fucking exceptional behavior, especially given how many other women in the story (even goddesses!) are treated. Sure, Hector is as bloodthirsty and murderous as every other warrior in this story. He’s just as down with defiling bodies and looting corpses as any of the Achaean warriors. But I always really appreciated that he was willing to extend the hand of kindness to someone no one else wanted to touch.
