Do yall think eurylochus feels like the third wheel friend?

#eurylochus #epic the musical #You know when you have a group of three best friends and two are closer than the other one?#You know the friend that walks behind the other two on narrow sidewalks #(Shut up I'm NOT projecting)#Eurylochus who is best friends with odysseus and polites #But his friendship with odysseus being tinged with politics #Same being it's own kingdom but answering to Ithaca #Odysseus approving of eurylochus marrying his sister but was it because he liked him best of her suitors #Or because it was the best political option #And then there's the fact that polites lives in Ithaca with odysseus but eury has to come and go #Eurylochus being quieter then the other two and less Into shenanigans then the other two #And he loves polites but sometimes he sees how ody is friends with him by choice #And didn't meet due to politics and is just a little jealous #Headcanon the eurylochus doesn't really know how to talk to odysseus that well and that polites #Often acts as a go between the two of them #@www-dot-why-are-you-here-dot-com

i don't consider myself a punk but the way so many people who call themselves "punk" seem to have no idea what punk is is so... annoying

#rambles #not jojo related #personal #i do like some punk i like the dead kennedys and bad brains (and DG if you count it) but i'm not like a super fan of the genre #my friend just browsed through punk subreddits and stuff and ohh my god what she showed bothers me #why do so many people online think punk just means ''left wing anarchist''#anarcho punk is a thing sure. but that's very far from all punk in existence #punk is a music genre and subculture with political themes that can skew wildly from artist to artist #the post i saw that annoyed me the most was one calling the sex pistols ''fake punk'' because the lead singer is a trump supporter...#the sex pistols were literally the kickstarter for punk in the UK. are you kidding me.#also the people looking at 80s left wing punks telling n/zi punks to fuck off with ''but n/zis can't be punk!''#yeah they... can be. and have been for a while. hence why they needed to be told to fuck off in the first place #you can't ignore punk has a very mixed history with both far left and far right groups with ''well i don't think it's REAL punk''#people getting terms with history wrong bothers me so much

one of the instructors in my classes has the worst takes about literally everything we read . mfw this kafka short story is actually saying why exclusion is good and it's important to push back against annoying people trying to take up spaces where they don't belong. surely "But how is one to make all this clear to the sixth one? Long explanations would almost amount to accepting him in our circle, so we prefer not to explain and not to accept him" means nothing. kafka was talking about invading lgbt circles and not that the differences between us are minute and refusal to engage w people outside of the in group would reveal that it's senseless to continue excluding them based on no grounds

#vwoop.noises #Fr*nz K*fka . Lover of the in-group . does NOT write abt societal alienation or anything #it's sooo annoying bc its the same instructor who brought up twt death of the author #and that listening to music if you don't agree w/ the artist makes you a bad person (moreso than reading hp)#Ahah nooo Don't have predictable twt politics you're in a position of power over me #Also she would just insult the book i rlly like in all our classes abt it :[#student teachers. Largely hit or miss #It's fine. I don't want anyone to be killed for this. But it does not make me want to go to class #This is like Equality for Babies type moral lessons we are missing here

Honestly i really do know im being annoying with this but the logistics of swapping out Avon and Raistlin and watching what theh do is the greatest form of Playing With Dolls I've ever ever had. Its a serotonin treadmill. You've heard of watching a brilliant, dark tortured genius asshole slowly create his own downfall what about landing in the middle of such a slipperyslope and starting to turn it into an entirely different one. AND THERE'S PVP ALLOWED, one of my main options rn is Avon-as-Raistlin starts planning how to re-open the connection and either undo this or pass some more things between the worlds- and Raistlin-as-Avon is like FINDERS KEEPERS BITCH. Paying It (The Lichdom Curse) Forewards, im staying in your life and im winning at it, fuck off. And Avon's like, ex-fucking-scuse me?

#what if. in this route avon is repoening the connection through magic raist-as-avon is gonna start regaining the capscity for magic too.#and it can be a Metaphysical Wizard Duel AND like an emotional climax whhen their parties catch up #and like. avon coming back for his friends carried on a storm. the fact that despite dverything he would fight for it-#even if hes doing it for an Incredibly Specific Way he wants to benefit power from merging both worlds that STILL a level of #coming back for his friends and lives and such yknow. its gonna affect them.#and raistlin possibly seeing caramon again-#i dont think avon would be as desperate to strike out on his own thats a raist psychological thing-#and maybe trying to appeal through the barrier like. hey! if you want what's good for me. GET HIS ASS. I want to stay here!#and that classic kind of tension between them. caramon wanrs his brother back and raistlin thinking of it as caramon wanting him Weak #and Dependant on his protection. the whole aspect of like body and strength swap is very. interesting and a bit #yuck politically but thats part of the fun. this isnt a cure narrative this is game of thrines musical chairs over resources-#the bodies the magic the many differences in Circumstances that seperate the two wars-#not just genre but straight up strategical details. the privileges of space age comforts vs having an almost even chance at victory. etc et #YOU SEE ME. IM HAVING FUNNNNN #THIS IS SO FUN. IT SHOULD BE A NOVELLA LENGTH ZINE FROM THE 90S UNFORTUNATELY ITS JUST ME IN MY HEAD. BUT #cally can probably sense something is wrong from the start. mentally....#the grudging respect raist would have for blake vs unlike avon he is entirely capable of backstabbing the hell out of them all.#avon would find the Expanded DL Party loud and weirdly social and annoying and pass off as raist through that easily #but also just. as i said i think he's way less likely to actually Act to further only himself like raist would #especially as Not Native to this setting like. no use aloanating possible resources. hes just gonna steer them All As A Group towards #paths of survival and advantage in the war that are Also to his personal magic based benefits i think #im having FUN #yknow what i might make this my Pinned. im Going Through A Moment.#dragons of the sad embezzler

Was thinking about decade nicknames like the Roarin' 20s, Dirty 30s etc and for a moment got weirdly emotional over the fact that the 90s were called the Wild 90s/the Free 90s here

#like. like #i can't even comprehend what it must have felt like back then #the sudden freedom to travel anywhere after 40 years of closed borders #media flooding with things that have been banned until then #the sudden freedom to listen to any music you want. read any books you want. watch any movie you want #suddenly you could write letters to relatives living in the West without censoring yourself in them. or even visit them #iron curtain falls and about 200 million people suddenly feel like the whole wide world has opened up to them #and is waiting for them to explore it #when the regime fell and the borders opened in 1989 my mom and uncle and their whole friend group took their bikes #and went on a tour all the way to the west coast of France #and yes i'm aware that the sudden change of leadership and politics and economy led to massive economic hoarding and corruption #but damnit i'm just thinking about what it must've felt like for the people #like a flock of birds when the doors of a cage suddenly open #mist getting emotional over historical events on main

Re the Neil Gaiman allegations but it really says a lot about the politics of this website that people care more about gay rep than the wellbeing of women. Major Tumblr darling gets accused of sexual assault and people in his fandoms either immediately jump to "the victims are lying/this is a smear campaign" or continue posting like nothing happened, with only a handful of posts actually dealing with the topic and getting attention. Not even a "let's wait until more details come out but sexual assault is bad". At this point I don't even care if the allegations turn out to be false because the biggest issue here is not the sexual assault, it's the silence of the people around it. This should have been a moment to step back, leave fandoms aside and realize that people are being hurt by his actions but that didn't happen! This was incredibly disappointing, ESPECIALLY after we had a wave of people arguing that you shouldn't buy the wizard game because JKR is transphobic. As always it's easy to cast stones to other people but when it comes to the guy who wrote your fav gay ship suddenly it's a different matter. If you wouldn't do "innocent until proven guilty" for a creator that you dislike who got accused of sa but you do it to Neil Gaiman, then you are willing to excuse despicable behavior as long as it comes from someone you have a parasocial relationship with and you should really think about what it's doing to your own principles and politics.

#m #i know the idea of 'tumblr cares more about gays than women' is not new but wow this is a new reach #and this is smth that ive seen many times already but the fact that terfs talk more often about (legitimate) women issues than non-terfs...#like you should be embarrassed as a trans ally that to this day the number one source for this is that terfy podcast #because no one else is talking about this!!!!!!#and especially given that *a lot* of people on tumblr are either women or femme people #like. you are the group of people more likely to end up in a situation like Neil's victims #if this goes nowhere it sends the message that powerful men can get away with abuse and not lose their careers #and again you will be the victim of this! you who form parasocial relationship with people of power and let it blind your politics #you who ignores sa and other despicable behavior because the accused is your fav creator #and just like many victims of sa at the hands of powerful male creators are former fans of them #you could be the next one to end up in an abusive relationship with a creator that has a power imbalance with you #just because you're ignoring it right now because the ineffable husbands bring you joy or whatev doesnt mean it can't happen to you #and for the love of god learn to move on and find new things. it's not the end of the world because you wont get a good omens s3 #the more you attach yourself to these fandoms the worse it will be. watch new shows play new games listen to new music #you'll find something that brings you joy if you look for it #but acting like the creator of your fav show wasn't just accused of sa will lead you to some really dark places

(Vague post)

Popular analog horror has gone down the antisemetism rabbit hole so I no longer feel bad about using a vaguely similar idea. I think we need a Jewish analog horror ARG in fact

#Nah they’re not just supporting Palestine if they talk about Israel spreading propaganda and ‘getting what they deserve’#And ‘facing consequences by powers less cowardly ‘#Oh yeah I’m sure you’re not antisemetic when you’re threatening that more powerful countries will nuke Israel off the planet uh huh mhm #Anyways if anyone wants to join me in creating a completely jewish analog horror arg hit me up it’s our time #mango rambles #personal fruits #jumblr #ישראבלר #Not naming names but the fact is you can probably think of like. Five examples #Cool cool this doesn’t make me scared about content in the future at all.#I sound joking and all but I’m actually legit terrified #No space is safe for me #Not the magical girl fandom. Not the animation fandom. Not music or art. And now not even online horror #I legit have no place left. The only ones accepting me are either run by Jews or VERY small communities that don’t care about politics #When we say we are alienated now- think of what I just said #Every group has run me out of it. I can’t talk about anything I like without fearing for my online safety.#And people think this is an appropriate price for me to pay despite being a disabled queer mentally ill person. Someone who they’re suppose #To protect. WHO they still claim to protect. But when you add Jew #Or heaven forbid Israeli #To the mix. Suddenly you don’t get inclusivity anymore #WHO CARES if your hopes for the future rest on you creating art because you’re never gonna be able to support your family or get a real job #Should’ve thought about that before you parents were born in Israel if you wanted to be treated as a human being #Fuck everyone. My hopes for the future are legitimately so gone I’m always looking forward to dying so these people can be happy.#All I want is for everyone to be happy even at my expense. Sure my family will grieve #But millions of people will cheer for my death. That outweighs it. It’ll bring so much more happiness if I die.#This is my state now #I hope all you fucking Americans are happy. The country is going through a mental health crisis caused by you and you’re laughing #And tearing down posters of our cousins and siblings and friends. Laughing about it #And then go on to pretend to punch fictional nazis when in fact you are supporting real ones right now #I’m so done with everyone. Sorry about how series these tags are

this is honestly worse than 2019 bc at least then the fandom was barely a fraction of the size it is now and it felt like most stays knew how to not excuse their actions (though ppl were actively reporting vlive comments so like not that much better)

but now it feels like the majority of this fandom is actively trying to promote this song just to spite boycotters and that geniunely feels so gross?? like this isn't out of ignorance this is targeted

#seeing a bigger effort for this than even their last cb because yall would rather support zionists #insanity #i /would/ ask: 'when did yall get so hateful?'#but lmfao nvm its actually always been like this #this whole thing is just leaving me with a greater feeling of despair than anything else #cause i really am not seeing how this'll get any better #(hoping i am proven wrong)#but also (side tangent) i just cant fathom how a group like skz developed a fandom that so vehemently believes music shouldn't be political #like how did we lose the plot THIS badly #stray kids #skz

my favourite thing abt tumblr mass-finding out about the origins of the “poor little meow meow” phrase is a couple of people in the tags, who listen to things like, i assume, punk or rap, going “oh so THIS is what people got so emotional over? wow they wouldn’t last a day over here” or “ah, this, yeah a couple of guys from our side did it too”. refreshing

#i feel like it would also benefit people to realize that like. the fact that kpop is FULL of random phrases and more and more groups promote #overseas to the point of having the hour of their comeback be convenient for the US rather than just korea... absolutely DOES NOT!!!#DOES NOT!!! mean they all speak perfect (or even reliably passable) english and are knowledgeable about the things english-speaking #internet cares about. every once in a while there's a new twt storm because some idol says or does something insensitive and hurtful to a #group of their fans and its like. well yeah it's a horrible feeling but i cannot overstate how many of these idols just Don't Know Shit #like. idk. black people. i'd say most kpop idols -- who are just some guys and not tumblr/twitter users -- associate black people with like #music artists. rappers. they're cool and they have those cool braids! i'm doing a rap song and i want to be cool like them! lemme put on #those braid extensions! yahoo! <-- everyone hated that.#this is not to say that koreans are wee little babies who shouldn't be held accountable or that they're all stupid #but even despite kpop's insane worldwide popularity i doubt any of those idols are getting worldwide-flavoured sensitivity training #they're all perfect at saying cloyingly sweet bullshit to their fans -- i will love you all for the rest of my life! bro WHO would believe #that it's so embarrassing just sing your fucking songs -- but that's it! hell the younger groups are even bad at knowing how to act in thei #OWN country; with older idols complaining that the newbies talk to them casually (not using the polite language like you should) or even #flat out ignore/don't saw hello or bow to them. twt people are like 'korea has the fastest internet in the world' aye and they use it for #games and teenage internet stuff; not educating themselves on things they know nothing about #the sermon was 100% unintelligible to myg and he just picked it because it had a Tone that must have fit the image of the song in his mind #it's like all those people getting 'chinese' tattoos that say stupid shit like pork belly or baka gaijin or a bunch of misspelled character #tilted by 90 degrees #like i myself didn't know about the cult leader until the sample drama. so #some kp/op fans are absolutely rabid though. especially on twt #shrimp thoughts

folks my dm has told me I have full permission to have my character occasionally say quotes from Open Arms in his campaign that I'm joining soon >:))

#the character is an optimistic little forest nymph (technically not actually a nymph but that's how he appears)#he's a silly fellow I love him already #and the dm has specifically told me “he's like the polites of the group”#so yk.. it fits #I kinda wanna see how many I can sneak in without him noticing >:)#although I'm pretty sure either he or another of the party members will notice #as they're both very into epic #open arms #epic the musical

Wow, man. I thought I was sensitive. (And took everything too literally! Not compared to these people...good lord.)

#there's petty drama in the BC fan group on FB and I'm like...oh wow. y'all are a little embarrassing.#I really haven't commented before in the group though so I will politely stay out of it but...damn.#obviously people saying a singular band member 'is' BC are joking. and what's so bad about making a joke about the frontman?#just because he's dead now doesn't mean he wouldn't find it funny if he were still alive. like...oh my.#people are protective of just the strangest things I think.#the music is sacred man - not the fucking people who make it.#...well now I'm considering butting in just to say that. (so I can be discouraged from being in YET ANOTHER bandom group on FB! *sigh*)#and tbh I think even the bandmembers would all agree with that sentiment. I think every band would agree with that actually.

before you say that hashtag witty hashtag clever thing about ‘dumb hicks’ or ‘rednecks’ or ‘hillbillies’ run through this quick and easy questionnaire to make sure you’re not a piece of shit!

do i know what states i’m even talking about? can i point to them on a map?

have i ever visited, or god forbid lived in, a state south of the mason-dixon line?

do i know where appalachia is? can i point to it on a map? do i know what states it encompasses?

do i know what the word ‘melungeon’ means? do i know what distinctive people-groups make up the appalachian south?

have i ever made fun of someone for having missing teeth (aka dewmouth), a silly accent, or unique regional grammar structure?

do i think of the south as a homogenous wall of bigots and republicans? have i considered that the south is diverse racially, economically, and politically?

how do i pronounce ‘appalachia?’ have i continued to say it the wrong way after being corrected because it sounds ‘smarter?’

when i say ‘i hate all country music,’ have i listened to anything other than bigwig sellouts singing about trucks and shit? can i name a single true bluegrass musical artist?

do i consider the south to be ‘beyond saving’ or a ‘lost cause?’

do i make ‘sweet home alabama’ jokes about incest in the south? have i poked fun at the ‘blue people of kentucky?’ do i even know their last names, or are they just punchlines to me?

do i say ‘y’all’ in everyday conversation? am i from the south? do i even know where to put the fucking apostrophe?

do i know what the fuck i’m talking about? should i shut the fuck up?

#hope this helps.#appalachia #southern usa #kentucky
