Guys I don't think this kindly stranger is all that nice But yeah, if Medic confessed about stealing their souls in the next pages I don't think anyone would really care

Based on this post thread

Do you know why people draw Helen, Penelope, and clym with suns painted on their cheeks?

hello!

i can't speak for individual artists ofc, but my best guess would be that it is inspired by the minoan makeup/fashion that was around and that also heavily influenced the mycenaean culture! i believe it's called the 'sun blush'?? or something like that. and ofc with mycenae being the powerhouse it was at that time, a lot of women may have adopted their style! cause obviously penelope, clytemnestra and helen were spartan! tbh it may have just been a bronze age thing in general? and not linked specifically to mycenae.

but there's some stuff to look at regarding this style.

and i believe the most famous example is this lady! a plaster cast that was discovered in a mycenaean citadel.

There's something vaguely funny how, when reading papers touching on Helen and Menelaos' scenes in the Odyssey, the interpretation of the marital relationship can vary so wildly.

It goes from anywhere between "marital bliss" to "obviously tense and questionable reconciliation". So different readings from the same thing!

And like, I can definitely see both ends of these very disparate interpretations.

Helen seems relaxed, she and Menelaos to all appearances amicable as they speak with each other, she walks around the palace/comes down into the hall as she wishes, they sleep together, etc.

And yet, also; she just single-handedly decides to drug both her husband and her guests, no apparent warning or question about it. Her and Menelaos' Trojan tales are distinctly at odds with how Helen and her actions are shown. Menelaos comes after Helen, he chooses a story that immediately questions and problematizes Helen's proclaimed feelings and motives in her story.

And when you put that in conjunction with what seems to have been the mainstream version of the reclamation of Helen, that is, that Menelaos attempted to kill her but Aphrodite had to intervene... Well, I don't think it's impossible or improbable that they actually have truly reconciled and are back at a good spot in their relationship, ten years after the sack and having spent nothing but time together for eight of those years as they travelled.

But still. I could also equally see it the other way, given the very insistent general tradition that Helen left of her own will/desire, and an attempted murder might be hard to forgive. So the ambiguity in the Sparta scenes is really interesting.

you know, caitlin having a villain arc in her own right outside of the killer frost persona/personality switch would actually have been so fun and interesting and i think they could have got a lot more mileage out of that

but it all ties into the fact that one of the main flaws of s8 is that they like to tell us that cool things happened offscreen...

for example, funeral for a friend starts with the team in shambles bc frost is dead so they are distracted and off their game and as a result, they lose a fight, and the meta of the week escapes. then we never see them again. at the end of the ep they have a conversation like "oh i'm so proud we defeated that meta in the end, go team!" but we never go back and SEE them do that!! it would have taken maybe a minute or two of screentime to show them beating up the dude at the end but nope, they just forgot this is a superhero show i guess. this episode dedicates almost 10 minutes to chester and allegra having a fight about whether hummus is a condiment or a dip but we don't have time to resolve the meta of the week plot, somehow

anyway my point is at one point caitlin is like "yeah i stole this tech." I WANNA SEE HER STEAL THE TECH. as herself and not frost!! show me how she broke into a tech facility without help and with no powers!! i want to see her robbing frost's grave and digging up the corpse!! i want to SEE her doing all this fucked up stuff!! like how did they fumble this so badly. caitlin has always been a character who is kind and empathetic and soft, so it could actually be so compelling to see her going dark like this and going to such extreme lengths to try and bring frost back, and explore that dark side of her. but instead we just get a handful of very brief scenes where she explains her fucked-up plans to various people and messes with equipment but she doesn't DO anything. come on man

Shout out to the defense team for them all being the only mercs with really fleshed-out childhoods and backstories only to be ignored and neglected by Valve. They deserved so much better than what they got

Do you think the 22 year old army medic here at the fema/Red Cross disaster relief station is qualified to tell me that no the irregular and newly puffy mole on my back is not cancer and it’s ok to be going through a tough time and the way my father treated me as a child wasn’t my fault and something in me is not rotten and inherently repellent to love and that it’s going to be ok and yeah no that alarming mole isn’t cancer. Or are they mostly like cleaning up cuts and stuff
