How do I explain how married Han Yoojin and Sung Hyunje are in the post-epilogue Side Stories without sounding like I am exaggerating or making things up...

Y'all, I'm back. And after ten hours without power, and most of those without water and any means of communication, I have a very important thing to say. An old radio powered by batteries is my new best friend. If you don't have one at home, you should get one. Right now.

I am genuinely really enjoying seeing people who have clearly never read the Odyssey before reacting to EPIC's Ithaca saga. I haven't listened to EPIC myself (yet) but people keep saying stuff like "Odyseeus built their palace around an olive tree he carved into his and Penelope's marriage bed that's so symbolic" and "He really just murdered all the suitors wouldn't that piss off their parents?" Which are observations and questions that the Odyssey makes incredibly blatantly clear as to the symbolism or the answer because it's a really old poem and subtlety wasn't really Homer's strong suit.

There's something really endearing about seeing people interact with the Odyssey through the same way the Ancient Greeks did - a bard singing the story of Odyseus' nostos.

(I gather the details have changed a little, but that's what happens with oral storytelling, and that's how the Odyssey got created in the first place)

Also as congratulations have my favourite ancient depiction of Odysseus surfing with two amphemorae having stolen Poseidon's trident, being sped along by Boreas, stark naked except for a cloak he's holding onto.

Weird question, but you're the only Erik expert I know, and I can't be asked to go through my comics, so what kind of shoes does he wear when he's in civilian clothes?

Because I feel like he's too posh for trainers and not posh enough for captoes.

(I'm drawing a chibi of him and regrets are being had about not having put him in his suit T.T)

Erik Expert is a high honor im no where near close to having as of right now BUT i can still answer this question 😌 i think 😌

if you talkin Civilian Clothes as in Everyday Going Out clothes he's pretty 'formal' and neat about his style i'm pretty sure: think polos, dress shirts, turtlenecks, and the like, so it probably would be fitting he wears dress shoes (if not at least sleek leather ankle boots) more times than not actually

While Lilja's being brought back into training, I'm taking lessons with Fjara to teach her to use those damn hind muscles to not trip and fall constantly. My dad's fallen off her three times due to tripping and he's not quite capable of helping Fjara get that posture back in the right place.

So here I am, risking my life (don't know her quite well enough under the saddle and I am not a courageous person)and limbs (I've got about 6 bruises on my legs now due to Fjara casually scraping past trees with my leg) to get miss ma'am back into proper shape and see if my dad gets the courage to ride her a bit again.

We've been working on leadership with groundwork, we're working on fixing that very lateral tölt (she's making quite a lot of progress already!), asking her for trot (did short bursts of trot today) and canter because last time I got one jump and she went straight into something resembling pace. Today I got:

a buck when I gave her the cue for canter

more pace

then three strides of canter before a very lateral tölt

a decent tölt, followed by a sort of scramble only a five gaited horse can manage

and then all of a sudden things clicked, Fjara went 'oh!', I learned what going very fast really means, and we cantered properly.

It's so funny, this horse is so fast in (re)developing her skills. With Lilja it's never gone this smooth, and it kind of makes me realise what a huge difference between training these two horses have had.

Also, extremely different personalities.

Checks out, 100% all that would be in my head right now.

Had a dream about packing up my apartment in Florida and tbh that still feels like my real life and the past 5 months moved back in with my parents in NV have just been some strange aberration or extended summer break.
