The Ship of Theseus is a story of a ship which, over time, has part after part replaced. By the end, 100% of the original ship's pieces have been replaced. The paradox begs the question of whether it is still the same ship.

The Ship of Theseus is a story of a ship which has its pieces replaced one after another. By the end, every single piece of the original ship has changed. The paradox asks if this is the same ship.

The Ship of Theseus tells the allegory of a ship whose crew are replaced one at a time. Eventually every single crewmate has been swapped for a new one. No one left knows what the carved initials in the mast mean. The paradox wonders whether the ship is still the same ship.

The Ship of Theseus refers to a company which has experienced complete turnover and rebranding. The query wishes to know if it is still the same company. The debtors are asking.

The Ship of Theseus is about a family. The original constituents are dead now, replaced by younger generations which have dispersed, found love, married and gained new names. No one is Theseus anymore. No one remembers the bones. But the genes never forget. Who is the family now?

The Ship of Theseus is you, shed of all the cells which first made you. They're stardust again. You'll be stardust many times over. Who are you?

The Ship of Theseus is me. All my words have changed. Who do I get to be now?

Salvaging the Ship of Theseus au stuff (tldr: emmet gets eebied to hisui, ingo tries to quit wardenship, Elesa makes deals with demon gods).

Nothing’s finalized and the plot’s still under construction, but this marching doodle of them makes me chuckle

Look at them go!

[ohlovers]

YOU want your favourite character to be safe and happy. I want mine exhausted, beaten down, covered in scars and blood, made the wretched plaything of a terrible higher power. is that so much to ask.

[smile-files]

o ariadne, accomplice to the minotaur's murder; your scarlet string is his blood in your hands... and yet theseus, forsaking sand and sail, is the only creature dead to you

Sorry if this has already been answered, but does Ford celebrate his birthday? I know its pretty hard to keep track of time when its ... nonlinear in the multiverse but I feel like Bill would know. And to ford every once and a while Bill demands his attention and he comes back to the pyramid to the wildest (worst) surprise party. The cake is human skin, candles are those really long wisdom teeth. Ford hates it.

i'll call out that a main plot point of chapter 4 is the fact bill gets ford presents on his b-day so yah its a regular thing, but they celebrate the day after his b-day

first birthday together bill probably does the skin cake thing but ford just rolls his eyes and sighs . bill almost fucking shoots himself after that response

[false-guinevere]

Thinkin about the False Guinevere incident again (likely thing for me to do) and just. God.

Just. The way Guinevere is being tormented and harmed and put through the wringer in the story and she doesn’t even get an apology. Because the story was never about her. It’s about Lancelot. It’s Lancelot whose emotional turmoil is given importance. Galehaut aids Guinevere for love of Lancelot. It’s Lancelot’s self-exile that Arthur mourns. And it’s Lancelot who is given an apology in the end, who must forgive and accept back Arthur for the story to wrap up. It’s Guinevere who’s the victim but Lancelot who’s treated as the wronged wife. (A win for Arthur/Lancelot but at what cost). The story of the False Guinevere isn’t about Guinevere.

But is it ever about Guinevere? She is always there. She has become such a key part of Arthuriana. But. Her marriage, her affair, her guilt, her cruelty, her kindness, her choices. It’s not about her. The story itself needs Guinevere, but never wants to actually have Guinevere. The story holds her close and hates her and loves her and never lets her go. And it’s still not about her.

rambling continued from the tags on this post

thinking about a world where the kaminoans are able to bend death. well enough that the clones become effectively immortal. even when they die they don't, really. they will gasp awake again, always, a never ending cycle of life and breath and violence. they will bleed and they will fall apart but they will knit back together with enough time. they will not succumb to any wounds, not permanently.

this not even being questioned by the clones. its all they've ever known. its how they've been raised. brothers don't die, they sleep and come back. brothers don't die, they bleed and then they get better. brothers don't die, even when they're missing limbs, even when they change in irrevocable ways. the kaminoans have created an army that cannot be bested by mortality. they've created something infinite.

the first time they know death is when one of the trainers washes up, blue and bloated and half eaten by the marine life at the bottom of the sea. they'd been punishing brothers for increasingly mundane reasons in increasingly harsh ways, so they were given a taste of their own medicine. only, trainers don't come back. trainers don't get better. trainers don't live, despite it all.

the jedi, too, are mortal things. things that can die. things that get hurt and don't always heal. things that can benefit from exploiting brothers, from putting a clone in the way of a fatal shot any day.

some of them do. its whats expected. most of them don't. the clones don't understand. brothers dont die, don't they know?

dean rebuilding the impala from the ground up. cas remaking dean on the atomic level after pulling him from the pit. jimmy novak’s body is destroyed when cas dies yet he returns in a simulacrum of his favored vessel. like yes, sure, the ship of theseus… but does it really matter whether or not it’s the same as before? is it not also about all the ways in which we are transformed by love? to be loved is to be changed, after all. when cas says you changed me, dean, he’s also saying you loved me, dean. you know???

[the-ship-of-theseus-daily]

Pardon me, you are the Hero of Athens, correct?

Muse seems to be holding a food tray, covered by a thin layer of tinfoil.

Or do you just share a name with him? I apologize for the confusion if that is the case..

Unfortunately no I am not "The" Theseus. Though I've been told That I'm just like him back when I was in Greece still.

Please! Come on in matey!

they were right that hyperfixation from your teens never truly leaves, it just hibernates until a random day in your 20s
