I think, perhaps one of the funniest things to come from EPIC popularising the Odyssey is that now a ton of people think Poseidon wanted to kill Odysseus.

In the Odyssey, Poseidon has no intention of killing Odysseus. In fact, part of the whole reason Zeus lets Poseidon do whatever he wants even though he thinks Odysseus is rad and should get to kiss his wife is explicitly because Poseidon had no intentions of killing Odysseus. Poseidon wanted to pay back the suffering/inconvenience blinding Polyphemus would have caused. It's a really abstract thing tbh. How do you pay back someone permanently disabling your son? Poseidon's solution was just to amputate Odysseus from his other half; i.e. Penelope. The end game was never murder, it was always an endurance race.

(Od. Book 1: Zeus reassuring Athena that he is not, in fact, a part of Odysseus Hater-Nation. Trans. Robert Fagles)

Also, for those wondering if there's any sort of in text reason for why Poseidon wasn't around in God Games - at the time in the Odyssey when Athena petitions Zeus to let Odysseus leave Calypso's island, Poseidon was -checks notes- on vacation in Ethiopia. Yep. He left to Ethiopia for a festival and thusly was very much absent for Athena's whole "please let Ody go? Please? 🥺" request.

(Od. Book 1: While Odysseus was suffering, Poseidon went to party in the east)

I am begging y'all to read the Odyssey. It's a comedy for everyone except Odysseus and Penelope who are, in fact, suffering 24/7 365.

9-1-1 LONE STAR | TK's 30th Birthday Party

[guardian-angle22]

re-watching tarlos in 5.07 and dying at how Carlos is so amused at the owen vs. enzo dick measuring contest... when TK shoots him a little glare, he just kind of vaguely winks and smirks back at him.

then later when Owen asks him for his opinion, you can see he's still kind of amused by it all... but he takes one look at TK's face, reads his expression/body language and realizes, 'okay maybe now is not the time to make the joke that I'd like to make.'

Carlos is very Handy! 🥵🔥

Alsoooo can we all agree that while they were on a break Carlos rode a horse and showed off to his husband that he is infact good with horses??!! 🙂‍↕️

I’m doing it guys. I’m manifesting a Ranger Reyes spin off. With lots of domestic Tarlos. And Tarlos as parents. And more of Mr Ranger Soup man and him and Carlos being a chaotic duo. And TK and Mrs Soup being bitchy Ranger wives, first towards each other and then later on WITH each other. And little play dates between Jonah and the little soup dumplings. And Carlos getting shot again because lord knows they didn’t have nearly enough drama last time. Im manifesting it with all my might. I’m using all of my strength to will it into existence. It’s gonna work, guys!

If I see one more person complain about Catcher in the Rye because "the protagonist is so whiny and unrelatable" I'm going to have to actually read it won't I.

[scaramionee]

"IS THERE ANYBODY WHO THINKS SIRIUS AND MARY WOULD ACTUALLY MAKE A GREAT PAIR ??!" I scream into nothingness as my voice echoes through the chamber of the asylum they've put me in- " OR REGULUS BEING AROACE ??!!"

"ANYBODY??! PLEASE, ANSWER ME-" I thrash in my bindings, scratching my skin in the process, tired and worn out , lungs bleeding inside but heart aching with foolish hope that SaintStar fandom is still alive.

"Just one person, one is enough, just-" I choke in my own words, unable to form a coherent word after being deprived of saintstar headcanons for so long. Maybe my fate is tied here, in this chamber, dying, alone again. The hope flicking slightly like a star in the enormous galaxy, far away, quite never reaching me.

This is the last thing I'm going to say about that man and his relationship with Buck (not Evan)

If you're not asking ABC to find a way to bring back Michael (and David), if you’re not begging them to save Lone Star so we can see TK and Carlos not just become parents but actually see them raise Jonah, if you’re not cheering for Josh to finally get a boyfriend or at least go on a date that doesn't end in violence

You don’t really care about gay representation and you damn sure don't care about Buck (or any of the 118 really). You just wanted to see two 'hot' white men kiss.
