helloooo Iliad fans out here on tumblr. I'm really wondering, what are your thoughts on Fury of Achilles 1962? So far I think it's really accurate in portraying most characters compared to other adaptations (like troy 2004 and 2018) And I'm directing a class play about the Iliad atm sooom do you guys think its a good media reference? Especially for costumes and character motivations and dynamics?

Hi!

How are you?

Would you write a story where Kent x Reader end up having a child?

Tired Young Parents

A/n: Sorry this request took so long. In this you and Kent still go to Nevermore but share a dorm. Readers abilities are not mentioned. You have a daughter called Cordelia (Delia and Coral for short, It means daughter of the sea) The photo's are just references to what you do nothing like what the reader looks like.

Pairing: Kent x Fem!Reader

Warnings: Swearing, children, Wednesday being Wednesday

"Where is your child?" Was the first thing you heard when you slumped down on the picnic bench for lunch. Enid saw how tired you were and started to rub your back in comfort even though the soothing movement was making you more tired and you nearly fell asleep at the table. Waking up when Wednesday nudged you with the blunt end of her fork.

"With Kent, somewhere" you muttered into the table trying to keep yourself awake for later classes. Swatting away the fork Wednesday was poking into your side, contrsting with the feeling of Enid now patting your head.

"Speak of the devils" Divina spoke noticing her brother and her niece walk into the courtyard looking way more alive than you, who was falling asleep at the table.

When Kent finally reached the table Divina held her hands out in front of her and made grabby motions. "Now give me my favourite niece"

"She is your only niece" When his daughter was safely secured in his twin sister's arm he sat down next to you and gently pulled you into his arms noticing that you were asleep and your head slumped against his chest and you curled into him.

"Why is she so tired? I mean you look alive, you better be helping her dingus" Bianca asked reading to softly hit Kent on the head if he said something she did not like.

"Oh I help with Cordelia, but she has been trying to catch up on her school work, I offer to help her with that but she is stubborn as hell" The whole table nod in agreement with that statement.

"Why are you talking about me like I am not here?" You stirred and quietly muttered, finally sitting up for the first time you arrived your group of friends noticed the state of your exhaustion. Your eyes were slightly sunk into your eye sockets and had black under the eyes signifying lack of sleep. Your movements were slow as if it takes too much energy just to do that task. "Please can I have my daughter"

Divina passed Cordelia into your arms where you immediately brightened up and started to pull faces at her causing Cordelia to let out coos and a gummy smile at her parents and to grab onto Kent's hair as he was resting his chin on your shoulder and pulled on it. You thanked yourself for not being bothered to wash your hair so it was put up in a surprisingly neat bun and was out of the way from your unusually strong daughter. Kent unfortunately did not get that message.

The Table started to laugh at Kent's betrayed face at his daughter in which your small daughter started to get excited at all the laughter and started to clap her hands letging go of Kent's hair.

"Hey, Y/n, Kent, I could take Cordelia for a while and you guys could catch up on sleep" Xavier spoke up with a fond look on his face.

However, that look soon became one of shock as the whole table chourused "No"

Ajax poked Xavier's side trying to defend his other best friend and goddaughter. "Remember what happened last time?"

Sorry it is so short

Like... I get we all dialike her and we all want to drag her and Chris, but taking her words out of contrst just to twist them somehow is... weird./ Same anon, I actually wasn’t talking about her quote, I was referring to the whole notion of her going out of her way to ask her own fan pages to remove content, not promoting her last release (the one in the lake, which it was filmed in 2020 but released in 2022 I think) because we know why, and the fact she’s done absolutely nothing to improve if she actually wants to get better

The whole asking to remove pics has more to do with Chris than her, and I think we can all agree with that. She clearly didn't mind it, until her relationship with Chris was more or less known, and fans were using that stuff against her.

Let's be honest, that bird photoshoot she did in 2021 was creepy af (because she looked 100% like a teen, and it was the definition of exploiding the Lolita image to the maximum). But more creepy for Chris than for her. Same goes to a lot of photoshoots she did in 2021/2020 and that she tried to erase from the existence.

About your last point, totally agreed. Guess she thinks saying she's better and how she's ready for meaningful roles will make everybody throw scripts at her.

Diplomatic Skills 17

The Loaded Question

— a question and declaration, question cannot be answered without having to (implicitly) acknowledge the declarative part. Opponent may wish to deny the declarative part.

eg. Mr Chairman, I would be interested in knowing when exactly the Iranian regime started launching its nuclear programme

— double dickheaf: If you do not answer the question you implicitly seem to agree with it, the declarative part. But if you contrst the declarative part you are put on the defensive- you must prove ehat is presupposed in the quedtion isn’t true.

— Succesdfuly Shifts the burden of proof from your side to their

— Forces opponent to enter into a debate that they wanted to avoid. It is quite embarrassing.

— breaks burden of proof, relevance and symmetry

Shifting the ground

Often the case in negotiation that party gives new arguments in support of its thesis that are difficult to reconcile with the prior points they made in the thesis.

Then party tries to take back what it said without drawing attention. This breaks commitment rule.

Other party may have built argument relying on earlier assertions of opponent. Now their argument is made more vulnerable.

— dropping an argument when it proves unconvincing

— damages credibility of party doing it and the smoothness of the negotiation

END

Argumentation is different to reasoning

You rely on argument in debates and negotiation

arguments are a bit different to proofs of logic

Yet, the strongest argument will often be a logical argument

Argument and reasoning are different but do not contradict each other

the concept of a “reasoned argument”— an argument supported by good reasons. Good reasons come from good reasoning (ideally logic)

Reasoned arguments = logical arguments

Logical arguments beat arguments that are not as grounded

Logical arguments are the best arguments

THEREFORE Reasoning supports argumentation. Argumentation does nothing to reasoning, it goes beyond reasoning.

You can do things in argumentation that are not allowed in reasoning

Reasoning is disciplined and strict. Regimented

3/1/24 "Gikeiki" and "Phoenix" Vol. 7 + 8

>>>Every new Tezuka volume feels like a big slap in the face to society. Unironically I feel slightly guilty reading his works now and I don't know why!?!?!? I feel like he is yelling at me....<<<

Anyways, this time around, this narrative screamed 'factions are bad, can't you tell?' you can see it multiple times around the two volumes, especially with Benta and Obu's descent into different factions, and how said faction developed a particularly nasty civil war (see what I did there?).

Despite that both beggars came from the same place, they chose a side, and then became enemies because of it! I think this sentiment can be applied to Japanese political parties (or any political party, for that matter) and even Japanese minorities (Ainu, Burakumin). It's effectively saying "we're all the same, why do we need to fight?".

Tezuka shows this fallout as especially fierce, which you can see in panels were the soldiers cut into eachother, civillians are killed, and even pages are slashed! What a nice use of style here. He also emphasizes action lines and the shading on smoke, fire, and blood in these panels to amp up the inensity. He is very, very anti war.

I also want to note that this portrayal is quite unlike Tezuka, in my opinion, he has lots of stories where gore is acceptable but he really has only inserted it here. I think maybe he did that because at the time of writing, protests were going on? Perhaps he saw something that changed him?

Lastly, the monkey and the dog also reminds me of that momotaro mythos, and by extention Gikeiki! All of these stories were really interesting, and it was a pleasant contrst to the mythos Japanese people believed as absolute truth. That leads me to wonder, however, how much Japanese people truly believed their mythos in comparison to fictional stories? I believe another student mentioned this in their blog post, but I feel like mythos has a way of influencing people, even if it is just a joke. For example, I think Momotaro's main story is working together helps you achieve anything you want.
