Big oof guys Odysseus wasn't a cheater he was a victim you soggy feminist retelling enjoying fries. and I don't get them changing that so that "women who have been cheated on by their husbands can relate and know they're valid for being sad" because let's be honest if he was a women y'all would've been treating his situation appropriately. Feminism is about men and women being equal, and do you know how many women (and men) could relate to Odysseus's situation? He wasn't a good person (neither was anyone in Greek myth) but stop making him out to be the bad guy. It's not only insulting to his character, mythology fans but also victims. It can be insulting to male victims for this being erased and treated so lightly. And for female victims who know what that feels like and are (rightfully) disgusted when this sort of behavior gets excused.

And for those of you saying "But he had a choice with Circe!!" Um... not really? He slept with her to save his friends, his brothers. Let's put it this way "Let's say your best friend was being held captive, and the only way to save them would be to sleep with the guy who's holding them hostage. Cheating would imply there was a betrayal of trust between partners, this wasn't done out of maliciousness. This was done to ensure the safety of an innocent person/people who you care about deeply. Any good lover would understand there's a huge lack of choice in a situation like that. Again, if the gender roles were reversed y'all wouldn't have been saying this crap.

If men and women are so equal, a men getting sexually assaulted and used holds just as much weight as a woman. This isn't feminism, this is sexism towards men. And no, it's not justified because "that's what the Greeks did", it's not okay just because you lable it as petty payback/revenge. What happened to be better than your oppressor? As if you were the one's in ancient Greece who had to deal with these things. You are not in a friend group with every woman in history just because you had to deal with "scummy men".

And even if you are a victim, how can you be immature and gross to KNOW what that feels like yet still not care/be ignorant towards one suffering and easily erase it. And just because they were the same gender as people who were asses and creeps towards you or people who happen to be the same gender as you.

Tumblr never fails to disappoint me 😔 I have no doubt in my mind Penelope would beat up all these people victim blaming her husband

"you soggy feminist retelling enjoying fries."

Dear Anon, I love this phrase so much. Thank you for sharing it with me.

Sorry this took a while to get to. <3 I just answered quite a few heavy asks recently and I wanted to give a lil break in general :) You also wrote it all out very well already so I didn't really know how much I have to add or say without sounding like a broken record!

And yeah, like, he's not a good person. Nobody really is, especially by modern standards. But that doesn't mean what happened to him didn't happen. Or that people should diminish it.

I mean, I'm very very sure that Homer even shows Odysseus' PTSD from it all in the Odyssey. How he's so adamant about Nausica's maids NOT helping him bathe, despite that being the custom/culture of the time. Like Idk what other reason he would have to not ask for help, being "older" wasn't something that would've been too outta the norm, he was still exhausted from nearly drowning to death, etc. BUT this is RIGHT after he just escaped Calypso. Gives huge PTSD reaction to me.

ngl, I find it really disappointing in a way that this ancient text feels more respectful of victims and their trauma than more modern books lol. A lot of Modern shit feels like trauma porn ;~;

And you're absolutely right with Penelope. She loves her like-minded fool. She would not blame him. I honestly think she'd be the one to reassure him often because he'd probably feel guilt and/or just...need some comfort from everything.

I really hate the whole "He expected her to be faithful when he was not." Because guess what? He canonically was. He had no concubines officially listed ANYWHERE. People can take vague statements if they want but that's just it. Vague statements. All other "interactions" were against his will and/or it was coercion to save his friends. All under duress regardless.

Like in general, there is so much more potential in writing about about a character trying to help her incredibly traumatized lover. Seeing him as he is still and loving him. Him finally feeling safe again, LEARNING to feel safe again. After finally having clawed his way back into the arms he never wanted to leave in the first place, he can LIVE again. There's something incredibly beautiful in that.

I mean as you said, I find Odysseus very relatable in a lot of ways. His story is really beautiful in the whole "You've been through Hell, You've done some horrible things, but despite all that, you can achieve peace again. You can LIVE again." It's a really hopeful story in a way. And I really love that.

A few people asked for my paragraph rant about Louis acting in the bed scene and well 👉👈 I'm not sure how many people watch the behind the scenes of their first bed scene but it really underlines, or rather, adds how brilliantly it was done but also took a lot out of Louis as an actor. He was still very quiet if not reserved while talking about the scene, leaving most of the talking to Nat while he is still catching himself from the emotions he conjured up.

This scene is by far my favorite intimate scene I have ever seen. Dian perfectly brings together the desperation and need when Aidi first kisses ChenYi, but what we can also see is a bit of anger with frowned brows and hard kissing. That now that he's drunk not knowing who is his with (for that moment) he allows affection like this, even pressing for it so there is definitely pain, anger and need coming together. Jiang Dian makes the audience feel that, he really pulls us into the scene with him. And then you see those emotions be washed away in a second of contemplation, replaced for pure pain the moment they are shirtless and Aidi grasps desperately to be close to Chenyi like his life depends on it. What's left is love and pain and regret.

Also the tear. That goddamn perfect tear that hits Chenyi' s face, pulls him out of his drunken stupor and makes him realize it's Aidi. Brilliant acting from both. There was definitely a lot of pressure on Dian Dian to get it perfect and he absolutely did, everything about it, the soft but rushed kisses, the light trembling...its devastating perfection. When they say acting is art, this is what they mean. Definitely also kudos to Nat of course but I want to give it to Louis mostly for taking such a difficult part on, shouldering the weight of the whole scene which made Aidi's decision that followed even heavier.

Going from all those complicated emotions beforehand though, the moment ChenYi kisses Aidi back, you can not only see it in the expression but also his body language where Aidi completely lets it all go (he literally sinks onto Chenyi). I think it as beautiful detail from Louis and of course the directors. How he let's go of his this burden he carries at last and completely gives into everything he has ever wanted. Followed with the way ChenYi switches their positions, it's a perfect way of showing that nothing but this moment matters anymore and that he literally puts himself into Chen Yi's care. Just a really neat little thing tbh. In Chen Bo Wen's words: "From the very first tear, I knew he could do it." So proud of DianDian and the whole crew for giving us such a perfect, complicated moment.
