[the-overanalyst]

it's always so fascinating and heartbreaking when a character in a story is simultaneously idolized and abused. a chosen prophet destined for martyrdom. a child prodigy forced to grow up too fast. a powerful warrior raised as nothing but a weapon. there's just something so uniquely messed up about singing someone's praises whilst destroying them.

"...WHEN... HIS SAUCER BEGINS TO DRY, HE DASHES HOME TO KEEP HIS CARAPACE CUCUMBER-FRESH."

PIC INFO: Spotlight on the Kappa, also known as kawatarō ("river-boy"), a reptiloid kami found in traditional Japanese folklore, artwork by the late, great Eric Carle (1929-2021), from the children's book "Dragons Dragons and Other Creatures that Never Were" (1988).

"Saucer on his head, carapace on his back, the "river urchin" pulls pranks, tickling your tush in the slimy lake, stealing your bellybutton while you're snoozing.

But water is the source of his life, When, out on land too long, his saucer begins to dry, he dashes home to keep his carapace cucumber-fresh."

I was half asleep and thinking about all the stories like She’s The Man and Mulan (1999) where a woman dresses up like a man in order to do something ManlyTM and how they all inevitably fall in love with the masculinity of it all while still being women (or not, I guess, fiction is flexible and gender is more so)

and I went “give me a man who chooses to dress as a woman instead of resorting to violence. Give me a man who, in finding femininity and softness, can find himself. Give me a man who chooses kindness and love over war and aggression, but the only way he can do so is finding solace in the feminine. Not because femininity is inherently softer, but because society has told him as such. Give me a man who, through trial and error, finds himself learning to love the traditional women’s tasks he’s been clumsily attempting. Give me a man who could never truly fit in with other men, and the women around him protect him and love him unconditionally. Give me a man who cannot stand for himself at first, and then rises stronger together with the people who took him in”

And I realized that “give me a man who dresses as a woman in order to avoid going to war” is just. Achilles. And I want that classically animated movie now. I don’t even care if it’s sanitized like the Disney Renaissance Mulan or Hercules, in fact I’d enjoy that. I want Achilles to choose kindness and love and beauty over the war he never wanted to fight. I want a lighthearted, playful version of Achilles where there’s a happy ending. I know it’s a tragedy, but so were a lot of things that got animated at the time (not even Disney, Anastasia and Quest for Camelot come to mind as well) and I think he and Patroclus can have a happily ever after, too

I also want it to be gay, but I think that goes without saying

"IN HINDUISM, GARUDA IS A DIVINE EAGLE-LIKE SUN BIRD AND THE KING OF BIRDS "

PIC INFO: Spotlight on Garuda, a Hindu deity and divine creature also mentioned in a Buddhist and Jain faiths, artwork by the late, great Eric Carle (1929-2021), from the 1988 children's book "Dragons Dragons and Other Creatures that Never Were."

"He perches in the dusty tamarind tree, Once a blazing bird of light, part man, And preens his fading wings remembering How he bore Lord Vishnu over lands.

Resting ancient arms and tired claws, He nestles warm within the jungle air, And into thick green shadows of the leaves, Feather by bright feather, disappears."
