Jerejean this, Neil ordering a hit that.

There's one thing I need to know. Was if Nora's intention to reference the ancient Greek myth Paris with Jean being given that as a nickname from Thea? Or is it just about the city? I need to know I need to know.

Paris being thrown out as a little child by his parents due the prophecy that he is going to be the reason for a kingdom's collapse. Paris becoming a Prince of Troy.

Jean being sold off by his parents due to their debt to the Moriayamas. Jean being blamed for the fall Edgar Allan Ravens took. Becoming a Trojan.

Paris being tempted by three goddesses promising him great things.

Jean being fucked over by a pretty face mentioned three times.

Paris and Jean being the scape goats of their stories when acting from love and due to powers stronger than them.

the way charles’ and arthur’s relationship carries throughout the game fascinates me.

in late chapter four, charles notifies arthur that he’s leaving to help rain’s fall. when arthur asks to help, charles declines because it’s personal.

but then, in chapter six, charles asks arthur to help because it’s personal.

the fact that charles, the most reserved and suppressed character, trusts arthur enough with something he knows is none of his business—there’s something so tender about that.

whether romantic love or platonic love, arthur and charles loved each other dearly.

Trojan Horse (2024)

Here are some drawings I did as concept art of possible puppets/set pieces for an Epic stage adaptation!

It must have been tough, hiding inside the wooden horse hearing the voice of your wife and forcing yourself not to answer.

There, you can hear her calling your names, in the voice of Aegialeia, of Penelope, of Laodameia, and…in her own voice. Do you think Helen would’ve shed a tear when she called Menelaus’s name once again, without any false imitation, but simply as herself?

Menelaus, you were so eager to get up and answer, had Odysseus not stopped you and Diomedes. What were you about to say, Menelaus? That you will kill her where she stands, or that you have already forgiven your wife? Still, I knew it wasn’t just her beauty that spared her life.

And Diomedes—he must have been so in love with Aegialeia, before he went for war. He must have been so sorrowful, having to leave his homeland, upon his wife’s betrayal.

And Odysseus—do you think he would be sobbing in silence, just as a fighter moaning in his ship, a man cut off from his wife and pinned down by gales and raging seas? For wasn’t it Penelope’s voice he was hearing? What else could he do but to keep everyone in check, while clapping his hand over Anticlus’s mouth, keeping him silent—but wasn’t this also a reflection of the struggle in his own heart? Now, the things he’d do for her…

My pathetic and perfect weeping-worm familiar and I make a great pair but a terrible trojan horse.
