A thing I feel about Telemachus and Antinous in Legendary and the fact that like. Telemachus objects to calling Penelope a "tramp" when Antinous' line about opening her room to have fun with her obviously feels much worse and more threatening... but I feel like Telemachus is kind of going like; "hey, the line? You crossed it a while ago."

Like, everything after tramp doesn't count because tramp was too far to begin with, and if Telemachus was strong enough to deal with the problem Antinous would no longer be here to say the gross shit afterwords because that would have been the point where Antinous died. Or at least broke his jaw and lost his ability to say nasty shit about Telemachus' mom.

Which is where the rule of "talk shit get hit" comes from, Telemachus is just untrained in combat because Laertes sucks at his job.

#seph listens to epic #epic the musical #epic the wisdom saga #wisdom saga spoilers #telemachus epic the musical #i refuse to feel bad about laertes until such a time as he is humanized and i am forced to #until such a time he continues to be a dopey deadbeat who probably fights alright but is easily made emotionally devastated and unavailable #at least odysseus' grandpa has the excuse of being a demigod for raising him fucked up #where the fuck has laertes been all telemachus' life... he got upset when his wife died and his son didn't return from the war and...#abandoned Telemachus.... this is why people say Sisyphus cucked you man...#not actually the real reason but it makes for a mildly entertaining insult #i have a fucking headache my dude
