I feel like epic poetry could be adapted well into opera

regina spektor is a violent zionist, but i don't think it's constructive or honest at all for people to be like "well her art was always bad anyway." some terrible people have made great art. This idea that artists with unsavory morals can't make good art (1) only feeds into some people's mindset that if they dislike something, that MUST mean there is something ideologically wrong with it, and (2) some people then take longer to realize the true colors of their favorite artists because... good artists can't be ethically bad right?? and so they hang on to their faves and pretend they are so righteous and defend their every move when sometimes. sometimes you just gotta accept that your favorite art was made by somebody you don't agree with, and you have to identify how much you are willing to support someone like that and what lines you have that can't be crossed

spoilers for the vengeance saga!!!!

what i love about the poseidon and odysseus dynamic is that throughout the sagas they both used each others words/threats back against them/each other.

like in remember them in the cyclops saga you have odysseus shouting to polyphemus

"I AM YOUR DARKEST MOMENT"

which in ruthlessness in the ocean saga, poseidon doesn't shout it but does coldly repeat the words back to odysseus after murdering 500+ of his men.

and of course you had poseidon also saying (before the murder of 500+ men)

"so close your heart, the world is dark and ruthlessness is mercy-"

and now in six hundred strike in the vengeance saga, the tables have turned and poseidon is at odysseus's mercy (and very clear lack of) that while STABBING HIM WITH HIS OWN TRIDENT REPEATEDLY, odysseus throws poseidon's words back at him (while being all stabby stab stab)

"told me to close my heart"

"you said the world was dark"

"didn't you say that ruthlessness is mercy upon our-"

like damn odysseus, impaling a god repeatedly with his own weapon ain't enough huh?

I was listening to the radio in the car yesterday because my phone was refusing to play through the speakers, and in my head I was spinning it into a positive, like “well now I can see what music is actually popular right now instead of what Spotify picks for me according to my tastes,” like by dosing myself with FM radio I, too, in my twilight years (early 30’s) can cling to cultural relevance and literacy by my fingertips, and then a song came on where a woman sang the line, “like Fortnite, Imma need your skin”, and you know, maybe it would be all right to just uncurl my fingers and let go after all

Currently imagining Arthur + Gwen + the knights asking someone (maybe druids?) who this famous "Emrys" is and they proceed to do a version of "We Don't Talk About Bruno" while Arthur, Gwen and the knights grow increasingly more distressed with each line and Merlin hyperventilates in the background

Okay so with the line "the olive tree where we first met" we have two equal hilarious options.

When penelope was sassily like oh I'll marry you if you make a living bed out of this tree right here! Cue penelope stumbling over odysseus very very carefully digging up the tree "because how else is he going to get it to itacha we can't have a wedding bed out in the open in sparta duh"

Or

2. Penelope, knowing that Helen's suitors would soon be arriving to take over her home for a while. Snuck out and went on her own wacky shenanigan filled journey where she scoped out all the major players. Odysseus caught her spying in an olive tree. And when she got back she told Helen she had dibs on the cutie from itacha.

Been missing the Prince as of late

i gotta say that while i do love the callback to polites via open arms mention in odysseus when eurymachus is trying to talk his way out of being killed, my personal favorite parallel is at the start of that phrase, when he goes, "old king, forgive us instead" every single time i hear that line i just think of when odysseus tried to tell poseidon that Maybe He Could Learn To Forgive :) and then poseidon promptly drowned him

gumbie cat in mind rn

[tending-the-hearth]

listening to "i can't help but wonder" and sobbing profusely over telemachus' hope being that his father will be able to connect with him, that they'll somehow be able to bond despite the years away, telemachus wanting his father to know that even if it's a struggle, he wants to know his father and see how similar they are. telemachus just hoping for a chance, because he knows his father has missed his mother, it's silly to think otherwise, but he believes that there will be a struggle for his father to connect with him.

meanwhile, odysseus literally has not stopped thinking about his son in the twenty years he's been gone. penelope and telemachus have been the only things on his mind, the only people that have gotten him through the war and every single struggle he's gone through. the fact that some of odysseus' first words to his son are "oh my boy, sweetest joy i've known" because despite the fact that the last time he saw his son, the fact that he was just a baby, and even though he's grown, despite the time lost between them, odysseus wants his boy to know that he is his entire world, that he loves him more than anything.

just telemachus being so hesitant and hopeful, and odysseus not even doubting for a second how much he loves his son and wants to hold him in his arms.
