Don't you ever let anyone tell you that it is too late to switch jobs/careers. Not ever.

Found a job at 18 & stuck with it? Cool.

Wanna change things up every 5 years? Do it.

Wanna start in a new field after devoting 20+ years to a single company? It's never too late!

We only have one dang life on this planet, if you wanna go wild and test all kinds of jobs out & find something your passionate about at 28,39,52? DO IT!

something. about. the horror of being sent on an impossible (death) quest and obligations and hospitality politics. the trauma of not having a home, and then the trauma of being in a house that becomes actively hostile to you, one that would swallow you whole and spit out your bones if you step out of line. all of this is conditional, your existence continues to be something men want gone.

it's about going back as far as I can with the perseus narrative because there's always a version of a myth that exists behind the one that survives. the missing pieces are clearly defined, but the oldest recorded version of it isn't there! and there's probably something older before that!! but it's doomed to forever be an unfilled space, clearly defined by an outline of something that was there and continues to be there in it's absence.

and love. it's also about love. even when you had nothing, you had love.

on the opposite side of the spectrum, this is Not About Ovid Or Roman-Renaissance Reception, Depictions And Discourses On The Perseus Narrative.

edit: to add to the above, while it's not about Ovid, because I'm specifically trying to peel things back to the oldest version of this story, Ovid is fine. alterations on the Perseus myth that give more attention Medusa predate Ovid by several centuries. this comic is also not about those, either! there are many versions of this story from the ancient world. there is not one singular True or Better version, they're all saying something.

fuckin…. im a bit grouchy today, but reading “omg someone who draws, draw this extremely complicated and time consuming idea I had for free teehee just throwing this idea out there” makes me want to chew concrete, this isnt cute, you arent coy. just the flippancy of it rubs me the wrong way, “teehee im not asking for artists to draw for me for free, im just throwing this idea out there teehee”

Drives me up the walls, you want your ideas drawn, animated, whatever? Fucking pay an artist

[wifiwuxians]

i was in the mood for something truly terrible today

[iwanttobepersephone]

So, my mom was telling me how much free time I have, and I was like, "I have no freetime wth do you mean?????" And I just wanna see if this is like. A normal way to think of things?

Things I need to do:

Finish reading icebound land

Make a whole lotta art that I promised people

Research study abroad programs

At least one Dutch lesson a day

Keep my room clean

Talk to my friends so they know I love them (and so I don't go insane)

My math homework

Keep myself clean (showers, finally brushing my teeth after months, etc etc) so I don't go insane

Eat at 7pm

Various things I enjoy as to not go insane

All from 6pm to 9 pm, every day, after being at school from 8 am to 3:30 pm and then The Public (teen center) from 3:30 to 5:30, and I need to be in bed by 9:30 and asleep by 10:00

So, basically, I'm "on the clock" from 7 am (When I start getting ready for school) until 9 pm, with no breaks

But yeah no I totally have free time. Yeaup

“gihun will become the new frontman” are you fucking stupid????????????

i saw an ACTUAL article saying he may become the new frontman?????? and that inho was trying to show him that the games are not that bad??????????? WHAT

do you people watch tv shows with your eyes closed and ears stuffed i dont understand it anymore. i dont. isnt it obvious that inho comes into the games to break gihuns morale? to show him the human nature?? NOT to show him the games '''''arent that bad'''''' (WHAT???????) but to show him that humans are FLAWED and GREEDY and TERRIBLE and that they ACTIVELY CHOOSE THE WORST OPTIONS, he wants to make a POINT and the point is NOT that the GAMES ARE GOOD (???????????????) but that HUMANITY IS BAD. is that NOT OBVIOUS?????

GIHUN BELIEVES IN HUMANITY AND INHO DOESNT. thats the FUCKING POINT of their CHARACTERS. THATS THE TAKEAWAY. HOW DO YOU NOT GET THAT???????

and dont get me started on the frontman theory???? HUUUUUH????????? oh my god i thought people calling sangwoo a villain was bad enough, THIS IS THE WORST THEORY EVER. again, HOW do you WATCH this SHOW???? AND THINK THIS???????

the purpose of gihuns character is that he is a person that seeks light in the darkest times even when it may seem stupid, that he CAME BACK to HELP people and TO BREAK THE SYSTEM. he left the games hungry for JUSTICE. compare him to inho (AS YOU SHOULD BECAUSE THATS. THE POINT) who PERPETUATES the system. who was hurt by the games and continued them to deal with his guilt in the worst possible way. does it look to you that gihun??? is heading down that path???? when the show constantly throws it in your face that they are supposed to be opposites and AGAIN. gihun believes in humanity and inho doesnt. thats why inho came back for worse and gihun for better. one wants to break, the other to fix.

how do you watch TWO SEASONS of gihuns INCREDIBLE CHARACTER and his morale and unbreakable, indomitable spirit and think “o yea i think he will give into his guilt and become bad guy haha” WHAT!!!! WHAT!!!!!!! WHAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

im so done w this nobody has any media literacy anymore. you made mouthwashing about good versus bad and ships when the whole fucking point was that people are not perfect and make mistakes and are morally grey - how anyone thinks of curly either as a perfect angel or terrible person i dont fucking get - and now you dont get squid game .....AGAIN. youd think in THREE YEARS youd learn but atp i have no more hope. oh my god. pick up a fucking book. learn to think critically. im so sick of this
