As much as I (*don't) like Christopher Nolan as a director, I sit in fear of what Odyssey will be, and I'll probably refuse to watch it when it comes out.

Partially because I worry for the interpretation of Circe and/or Calypso, but mostly because I know no one will actually take the time to talk about Odysseus's bow like it needs to be.

Like a comedy skit.

I have little knowledge on these things, so forgive my inaccuracies.

His was deacribed as a palintonos horn composite bow. Not only would it bend backwards when relaxed, but it needed time, knowledge, and patience to be reshaped and strung correctly, which the suitors didn't have.

For reference, this is a Turkish horn composite bow at the MET,

And here a series of diagrams on the Asian composite bow, including the form it needs to take to perform correctly, without it falling apart.

Note: this tells us, whichever model is closer to the one intended for Odysseus', that the bow was fit for warriors.

You can see that just positioning the arrow should be an effort that involves your whole body. The string itself needs to be pulled far enough that it looks like an arrow pointing backwards, and your grip needs to be solid as the tension is stronger.

Now imagine you didn't know all that, and dear queen Penelope presented you with the challenge to shoot an arrow with this.

Like me, you've already pictured the string in the wrongest position possible.

Blumineck the Arrow Bard on Youtube tried demonstrating this issue here, and the account Inspired Cosplay expanded on the difficulty of the challenge in a few videos, but I'll just leave these two here and here.

Point is: How. How did no one laugh. How did Penelope not have to bite the inside of her cheek once. How did Odysseus himself remain serious? Was he looking away the whole time? I'd look away too if people were touching my stuff and damn near breaking it for nothing.

I hope in another universe, my parents aren't my parents, but my friends.

If we lived in medieval times, someone would have already put me on a sick boat with a doctor wearing a pest mask.

Thanks to modern medicine I know I won’t be sick too long.

Currently, I still feel like a medieval peasant on their dying breath, coughing up my lungs.

Oh well ..

I miss my Italian grandma.

She is the reason I love Ruby. Because they share the same personality.

This is the reason I am still in love with the adult version of a fictional character.

My Italian gran was the only healthy maternal figure I had growing up... And the only person to love me unconditionally in my entire life.

... And I'm afraid it will stay that way, with how things are going...

...

There. I said it. The cat is out of the bag.

May the budding rose she imprinted in my heart stay intact and safe, even though it will likely never get to bloom...

All the other bad imprinting, represented by roots of all evil, has / have been removed.

This rosebud is the only living flower standing in the middle of the snowy clearing and scenery inside my soul.

I will cherish this rose forever, with all I have.

I don't believe in astrology. Probably because, as a Scorpio, I'm naturally skeptical.

he said 🧍‍♂️

On a serious note: he looks soooooo good there, my god. And his tiny little barely there chin hair? Yall know I love it.

On a normal note: mans cannnnnnnot pose outside of a fashion shoot where they're telling him what to do.

On a silly note, my stupid ass immediately had a vision and made this in two minutes because he was majorly giving Sims creator screen:

On an UNHINGED note, I have to save yall's dashes from this but my masterpiece under the cut actually:

the other thing is that not every outfit has pockets so sometimes you need a small purse even if it's just for phone and keys... as a tampon wearer you'd think op would understand this but maybe they only shop in the men's section idk
