hm. as a woman who recently (ish.) left her twenties behind, I fear that American Psycho's late-twenties protagonist, who has money and a job from his father, plus a beauty routine that I thought wasn't invented until the 2010s; who ladles irony over every sentence, imagines floridly insulting every person who doesn't give him what he wants, but only flies off the handle in situations where the carefully calculated risk is low.....may be just a tad on the nose.

#I've never gone on a date with this guy because honestly he would never.#he's more likely to take unflattering pictures of me around the office and send them to his buddies with vicious captions.#but our paths have crossed. distantly. I have been in meetings with this guy.#I /have/ been there for the business card conversation! it was wild to see that dynamic play out on screen.#also. christian bale is just so. so good looking in this.#there's a scene where he gets in the shower and you realize that greek statues were likely of real men.#like. there was a 26yo in athens who stepped up to throw a discus and every sculptor in the ancient world #then reflected on that moment for hundreds of years.#that might be difficult to imagine but counterpoint: he looked like christian bale in this exact shot.#a proscenium for our dreams

#other plays that center Trojans after the war but still #the Trojan Women (1971) literally broke me #Andromache babygirl I’m sorry ppl keep excusing and watering down Odysseus’s actions #and that’s always why it’s fuck Astyanax lives aus where he is adopted by Odyseus #Athena and Hera aren’t off the hook either but at least Athena expressed some remorse and regret #greek mythology #ancient greek mythology #greek pantheon #Odysseus #Andromache #Trojan war #the trojan war #the trojan women #Troy #sack of Troy #astyanax

Every work of fiction should end with a parabasis where the author comes out and yells "IT'S HORNY AND WEIRD ON PURPOSE THAT'S THE POINT" and then tacks on a quick critique aboutnwarmongering. Aristophanes my beloved...

#more plays should do this. all of the time #but also published books. published everything #“i don't understand what the moral was” to which the greek author goes “okay so the moral is that i hate this guy and also i like penis.”#classics #ancient greek #aristophanes

guys against thebes can be found in sizes large, medium and small

i.e. hippomedon and polynices play a game of polis while tydeus takes a nap (he's not allowed to play board games anymore after what happened last time)

#hippomedon is described as giant while tydeus is famously short. i assume polynices is average bc no one ever mentions his height #also everyone's used to polynices and tydeus being weird and intense and clingy with each other. just another day in camp #this was inspired by every lovely piece of ancient greek pottery depicting ajax and achilles playing games #the thebaid #theban cycle #epic cycle #seven against thebes #tydeus #hippomedon #polynices #polyneices #polyneikes #tagamemnon #my art #slettart #greek mythology

Others: Hahaha Hollywood has the best catchphrases of cheeky or sneering heroes

Aeschylus: *Orestes to Clytemnestra over the body of Aegisthus like a hunter over a deer*

Orestes: I was looking for you! This one here has had enough already!

(Translation by me)

Like...DUDE! 😆👌🏻 "he has had enough"! Dude! And gets even better!

Clytemnestra: Oh no, my beloved Aegisthus! You have been slain so violently!

Orestes: Oh, you love this man? Then you will lie in the same tomb together so death will never do you part!

(Translation by me)

Dunno about you guys but THIS is the real stuff! Don't tell me you don't imagine Orestes pointing at the body nonchalant while saying that!

Persephone: Hey Thanatos. Thanatos: Hey Seph. Persephone: You missed me? *Thanatos grabs her and they go into their gossip session* Hades: She's my wife I should be the one who sees her first. Thanatos: There's a list. Hermes passed it around. Nyx: Yeah I'm after Caront. Hypnos: Oh so I'm after you mother. Hades: There's a list? What? I never had a list. Hypnos: Sir she's way cooler than you. Mynthe: Plus we don't like you as much as her. Hades: True, tell me when it's my turn.

I'm designing some personal Apollo playing cards. If I were to get multiple decks made, would there be any interest in buying them? These would be the suits and the Jack for one of them as a small WIP. I only have Ace through ten for all four and the Jack for one, and the Jokers.
