ANCIENT WOMAN THUNDERDOME 2023: Official Bracket!!

[image description: a bracket titled Ancient Woman Thunderdome 2023. it lists 32 matchups between 64 women. all matchups are listed below. end image description.]

we have our final matches! clytemnestra, medea, antigone, and penelope are our most suggested, with honorable mentions to electra, circe, helen, and atalanta. i've seeded according to how many times each one was suggested, with more popular candidates going against less popular in the first round. HOWEVER, this is not a popularity contest! this is WHO WOULD WIN IN A FIGHT. please vote accordingly, with consideration of physical strength, mental acuity, and magical ability.

the first round matches are as follows (note: where people suggested a group, ie. maenads, sirens, i'm acting as if one representative from that group is in the fight):

Clytemnestra vs. Niobe Electra vs. Iphis Chrysothemis vs. Cassiopeia Iphigenia vs. Semele Procne vs. Creusa Callisto vs. Europa Daphne vs. Lysistrata Philomela vs. Andromeda

Penelope vs. Antiope Atalanta vs. Stheno Dido vs. Lavinia Penthesilea vs. Nausicaä Camilla vs. Anna Briseis vs. Lesbia Agave vs. Chryseis Phaedra vs. Charybdis

Antigone vs. one of Hephaestus' "golden fembots" Helen vs. Deianeira Ariadne vs. Eurydice (from Antigone) Hecuba vs. Iambe Andromache vs. Echo Eurydice (Orpheus' love) vs. Psyche Ismene vs. Tiresias Jocasta vs. Scylla

Medea vs. a siren Circe vs. Cressida Cassandra vs. Leda Medusa vs. a maenad Hippolyta vs. Galatea Arachne vs. Pasiphae Pandora vs. Danae Io vs. Calypso

i'm hoping to start the matches next week. the first round will be four polls a day for eight days; polls will last for one day until we get to round four with eight competitors/four matchups (at which point the polls will last a week).

Recent Movies I've Seen

So, after a storm went through my area, I think right now I can talk about some movies I've already seen.

Rise/Dawn/War/Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes- I've seen the reboot-prequel trilogy, and it was some pretty great movies, especially Dawn and War with how great the writing for those films are, and the effects for them still hold up fantastically. I've never seen War before, but I really enjoyed that film. Kingdom is also pretty good and if they keep this up. Hell, I wouldn't mind if they did a remake of the first movie with these effects and if the writing is still good. My favorite is a tie between Dawn and War, but former is probably a little better in my opinion.

Mad Max/Furiosa- Another really good series of films. Before, I've only known about Beyond Thunderdome, but after seeing all of them, I can safely say I've enjoyed them all. The first Mad Max movie is what I can say is a good "first film made by a director," which it literally is the first movie made by Miller. Road Warrior is an amazing movie with great action scenes. Beyond Thunderdome is the weakest, especially with the main villain just being meh (sorry Tina), but I still enjoyed it. Fury Road is honestly my favorite out of the series and one of my favorite movies I've seen ever! All the characters are great, the action scenes are some of the best I've ever seen, it has that flamethrower-guitar guy that brings in the whole soundtrack, this is just a great movie. Furiosa is a pretty good origin story to a really great character from FR. Honestly, some of the characters here are some of my favorites in the entire series with Praetorian Jack and Dementus, who is probably my favorite villain out of the series (also holy shit his outcome in the movie is disturbing to me). Overall, a pretty good franchise.

Inside Out 2- I have seen the first movie (albeit its the Spanish version during a Spanish class I took back in high school) and it was a pretty great movie, and this one is no exception. I just love how it carries out the idea that there really is no "good" or "bad" emotions as they're all complex and can both benefit and hurt us as people. I don't feel I have much time in explaining some of my thoughts on emotions in the film as it would take all day though. Pretty great movie all considered.

[ stab ]   your muse stabbing my muse anywhere / or specify. (From Leon)

The sensation is sharp and sudden. A blink and he might of never even noticed it happened at all. At least the feeling of anger that crackled between him and this one was deserved. Though he isn't even slightly remorseful for that.

With the chaos of other feet scrambling away in terror and a generator off in the distant with angry protest and whoever's clumsy fingers were fighting to repair it, he wasn't interested in focusing on every little discomfort.

It is not until the former STARS has vaulted himself over a nearby window frame that he starts to feel something stuck. Something that sends a long trickling path of blood down his knee and into his boot.

One hand caresses the handle embedded in his side. Feeling its solid texture against his gloves as he starts to pull it out.

"Ohhh, you little shit." With a slick coating of his own blood now decorating the blade, he turns it over and stuffs it neatly into the concealed sheath in his jacket. It barely fits, but he'll be damned if he leaves it and allows the chance for Leon to come retrieve it.
