"You can't reminisce over a scar if it's still an open wound"

- Compound Fracture by Andrew Joseph White

The book finally released!! So I'm gonna make a few edits for my favorite quotes from when I read it a few months ago since I was lucky enough to get an Arc! A truly viseral book that still holds my brain hostage!

Bruce died(?) again

Jason: Well, it's my turn.

Dick: What are you talking about?

Jason: Everytime Bruce is gone, one of you starts to act just like him, pushing everyone away, acting as only you can be right, and fighting anyone that gets in your way. Dick did it, Tim did it, even Cass kind of did it. So, this time, I will do it.

Tim: Isn't that how you act all the time?

Jason: Whoa, fuck you. You are so banned from historical drama movie nights.

#jason todd #dick grayson #tim drake #cassandra cain #batfam #bruce wayne #batman #dc comics #my ramblings #incorrect quotes #once again I made up this one #but like look at me and tell me that I'm wrong when Red Robin comics is rught there #Dick it's in Future State where he acts just like Bruce it's an au but like it's in character af for him #Cass ran away to Hong Kong so she kind of pushed them away and the second part she's always like this #Jason invites his siblings to his place to watch hustorical drama and criticizes the accuracy and if they are adapted from a book #how well of an adaptation they are #of course he is the one making most of the commentaries on the subject #is tim wrong? let's discuss

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.

#ginger rambles #ginger chats about greek myths #Sorry for the quality of the quotes but I'm too tired to google a pdf vers of the Odyssey and then edit those so y'all are getting #my crunchy pictures from one of my physical copies of the book lol #it's reiterated multiple times that Poseidon doesn't want Odysseus dead too #he is literally just driving him mad on the ocean because that's what Odysseus condemned Polyphemus to by blinding him #Also there's no good way to mention this but the Odyssey starts #by Zeus lamenting how mortals blame all their troubles and miseries on the gods when that's just not fair #because the gods go out of their way to warn the mortals that will be saddled with the most wretched fates #and they ignore the gods and do whatever they want anyway LMFAO #It's a really smart way to tie in the whole Orestes plot that would have wrapped up in between Odysseus getting stranded on Ogygia #and Odysseus getting off of Ogygia #epic the musical #epic the wisdom saga #zeus #athena #odysseus #poseidon #the odyssey

The most beautiful things in life are not things. They're people and places and memories and pictures. They're feelings and moments and smiles and laughter.
