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

Look what we've become.

#poorly drawn mdzs#mdzs#wei wuxian#jiang cheng#Initially I wanted to do a 'Mutiny' quote to follow the 'Luck runs out' quote.#But the musical earworms demanded a different blood to be drawn. And I think it works just as well.#Alright. It's time to confess something. I really struggled with this comic. I didn't want to draw it. Then I didn't want to upload it.#Because I knew I would be here in the tags writing and backspacing for hours trying to articulate my thoughts.#I'm going to talk about death and grief in the tags today so this is your WARNING to look away if you aren't in a headspace for it.#Sometimes in media there are scenes and characters which land on topics so specific to your wounds that it reopens them all over again.#Because here's the truth. When you've known someone like this for nearly your whole life...it doesn't matter how bad the fight is.#You always think 'We'll always have time. One day this dust will settle and we'll rebuild the bridge.'#And then the fucker dies!!! He dies and suddenly there will never ever be time to repair the rift.#Someone you loved died thinking you hated them. And part of you did just a bit. But love and hate aren't mutually exclusive.#He's fucking dead and you are left with so many broken and unfinished pieces between the two of you.#Jiang Cheng loses Wei Wuxian thinking that WWX thought they hated each other.#He's a younger brother who will one day be older than the person he lost.#Who has no one else in the world who understands those feelings of love and hate and grief.#I can't be normal about this character. I don't think he even heals me. Zero catharsis to be gained here.#I just look at his sour grape ass and think 'shit that's a little too close to home.' JC is my discomfort character.#I'm probably going to regret being this vulnerable in the tags in like. An hour. So. sorry if you see this once and never again.#EDIT: Yeah sorry this took 4 hours to muster the courage to post. Surprise update!#EDIT 2: You guys were being too nice to me on my sad comic to point out the spelling error. I have fixed it now B'*)

Carol Maso - The Art Lover
#anyway. thought about silna for a moment too long and had a breakdown.#the terror#the terror amc#silna#lady silence#thinking about her pov and just how terrifying it would be#losing her father to men who turn their guns on you and treat his body like trash#kidnapped by a group of men in the middle of the night#almost thrown to an angry mob#choosing to remain in a ship of these men rather than the role she was thrust into#that those are the only two choices you have#having to watch every bit of kindness mt with brutality#and at the end of it all: having to walk away. again. alone.#one of the most heartbreaking actors and performances of all time#this quote also really reminds me of max from black sails

Hey guys I think The Last Unicorn is such a Scott book
#Hate Jimmy's anatomy here. whatever. throws it at you guys anyway before I stress myself into offing myself#quote is from The Last Unicorn ofc!! I drew unicorn scott and then me and my friend went insane about the book + Scott's character#flower husbands#scott smajor fanart#trafficshipping#trafficblr#need to reread that book desperately#so many moments and quotes I remember from it are SO Scott guys. I swear to god#it being a book all about this unicorn who is turned into a human and thus starts experiencing emotion. and flaw and love and and#and the unicorn is stressing but realizes that even if she were turned back into a unicorn. She has already felt. She no longer belongs#And I view Scott's character as tending to deny himself those kinds of feelings as if they were a weakness. As if they'd get in the way#He allowed himself to love and be loved in LL and then never again. Turned around and ostracized Pearl. Sorry going insane#and then ofc this quote made me think of Jimmy. I cannot get into my reasoning here though I will either die or get killed#tubby art

is it gay to collect lots of lore on your new girlfriend, make it into a binder, and then hide it under your shared bed where she will absolutely never find it???
Vaggie: "Charlie? Uh, quick cleaning question."
Charlie: "Hmmmm yeah??"
Vaggie: "So I was looking under the bed-"
Charlie: "Under the b-" (LEAPS across the room) "-NO WAIT LEMME DO THA-"
Vaggie: "-and there's this binder, with my name on it."
Charlie: "AHH!!"
Vaggie: "In your handwriting?"
Charlie: "AAHHHH!!!!"
Vaggie: "It's about the size and thickness of a telephone book-"
Charlie: "AAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH....!!!!"
Vaggie: "Babe. Do I wanna know."
Charlie: "IT'S NOTHING CREEPY OR WEIRD I SWEAR!!!!!"
Vaggie: "... that honestly just makes it weirder. What's even left?"
Charlie: "Normal stuff! Just, normal everyday Vaggie-related observations! In alphabetical order. And. Cross filed by category and sub grouping, for quick reference."
Vaggie: "..."
Vaggie: "You've made a reference book on me."
Charlie: "Okay, now when you say it like THAT it sounds WEIRD!"
Vaggie: "Any, uh, particular reason you're doing this?"
Charlie: "My brain likes knowing things about you. I mean, I like knowing things about you."
Vaggie: "What... kinda things?"
Charlie: "Can I see the binder? Thanks." (pages through) "Ah-hem. Things Vaggie doesn't like! Not having wings, back pain, back pain from not having wings anymore, people being rude to me, not stabbing people who're being maybe a bit rude even though she really wants to, leaving her spear at home on dates so she doesn't stab people with it, stuff being messy even though she tries to hide how grumpy it makes her when I don't fold the towels up again, guitarists, swords, angels, any mention of heaven-"
Vaggie: (sweating) "H-how 'bout some examples from another category, sweetie?"
Charlie: "Right! Ummm- okay. Things Vaggie likes! High places! Backrubs- especially after she's slept wrong again because we cuddled the wrong way during the night oops- the way her hair looks now it's growing out long! Long gloves and thigh high stockings! Cleaning! Doing stuff together- like tidying up our room! Buying me binders so I can keep my notes together instead of stacking them piles in our room! Threatening people! Threatening people specifically with-"
Charlie: (growling) "Her. Spear."
Vaggie: "What?"
Charlie: "Nothing!" (goes back to smiling) "Holding hands!- with me. Snuggling!- with me. Kisses!- again specifically with me. Staring up at the light of heaven from high places-!"
Vaggie: "And you."
Charlie: "-and me! ...And me?"
Vaggie: "I like staring at you, too."
Charlie: "....."
Charlie: "Can you- hold on just ONE moment I- I need to make a note and, for that I need a glitter pen..."
Vaggie: "You're writing all this down in glitter pen?"
Charlie: "I want it to be cute! Like you!!!"
Vaggie: "And I kinda wanna kiss you."
Charlie: "You- because of the, weird non-creepy binder thing??"
Vaggie: "Yep."
Charlie: "....Noted!!!" (snaps binder SHUT) "I can totally make the actual notes later though, you know, if you want to do the kissing thing right now inste- Mmf!"
#hazbin hotel#charlie morningstar#chaggie#vaggie#incorrect quotes#silly headcanons#charlie generates a lot of thoughts and insights#what if vaggie “doesn't like messes” introduced her to the idea of organizing all those notes and thoughts#and it was super effective?#and maybe they kissed about it a little?#(and charlie looks back on her notes later like HER SECRET WAS THERE THE WHOLE TIME ARE YOU /KIDDING ME/?!?!)

Phoenix: do you remember the day you got your lunch money stolen in kindergarten?
Edgeworth, who came into school wearing a bow tie every day, was always reading, went around quoting different law terms saying he was going to grow up to be “just like father”, and canonically cried when he couldn’t do origami: which time?
#how that convo should’ve went honestly#I adore lil miles with his lil bow tie and lil lawyer dreams#but seriously there’s no way that was the only time his lunch money got stolen😂#bro was probs like ‘well at least they didn’t take it by force this time🤷’#miles also canonically obayed the ‘snitches get stitches’ rule all those years which is why the other kids never got in trouble#when they took his money. I can’t be told otherwise about this it’s the only logical explanation#why do you think he had so much lunch money?! it was so he could toss the bullies some and keep the rest for himself#ace attorney#miles edgeworth#phoenix wright#wrightworth#narumitsu#ace attorney incorrect quotes

#poorly drawn mdzs#mdzs#wei wuxian#lan wangji#a-yuan#Ultimately...despite how hard we try to reach people - sometimes it just is not possible.#Sometimes all you can do is wish that things could have been different. You pen a note with all the things you want to say -#and then you let it go. The words stay unsent and unspoken. You just watch the rift between you grow until you're too far away to try again#It is a sad end! It is two people who want to be closer but do not have the right capacity to do anything but shut doors.#Worse yet; it's two people who feel it is not their place to try and impose anything more.#It takes so long to heal from endings like that. You never get enough closure when there is still a faint hope of 'another day'.#It's a false amicability. It's closing a door and telling yourself that at least the windows are unlocked.#WWX will keep up his friendliness as a way to hold LWJ at a distance. LWJ can only try to help so many times.#Speaking of tragedies of trying to help; Let's talk about the addiction metaphors in this episode.#WWX tells LWJ in fairly straightforward terms that he does not *want* do be doing ghost cultivation.#What he wants is to protect people - by any means necessary. If he had another option he would take it.#The path WWX 'chose' is one that is deeply mired in external shame and taboo. He jokes about it but it clearly doesn't feel great.#And I put 'chose' in quotes because just like many who find them selves in bad situations - the choice is an illusion.#He's adamant that this is 'his' choice. That he is in control.#Better to be villainized that endure the terrifying reality that you lack any ability to have choice anymore.#If he had the choice - truly had the choice - he would not be doing this.#You can't help those who don't want to be helped. So of course all LWJ can do is watch from the side. Offer a hand when he can.#This life was a tragedy and the countdown to it all blowing up started a long time ago...

When you stand in front of me and look at me, what do you know of the griefs that are in me and what do I know of yours?
— Franz Kafka
Corlys, Addam & Laenor by Imperiat
#valyrianscrolls#asoiaf#addam velaryon#addam of hull#corlys velaryon#laenor velaryon#house velaryon#the dance of the dragons#fanart#asoiaf art#the dynamic between these three is so compelling to me#laenor existing as the bridge between corlys and addam#with addam obviously trying to build up that connection as much as possible#corlys goes out of his way to treat addam in a similar manner to laenor#with only a few key differences that say a lot about corlys’ own mindset#although all four of corlys’ children share parallels with him to some degree#laenor & addam are the ones who have the least in common with him#yet those two are also the ones who have the deeper relationship with corlys#grrm interconnected them to each other so well :’)#the kafka quote is taken out of its original context but it really fits the dynamic of these characters so I’m choosing to use it

And remember kids, the next time someone tells you, "George R. R. Martin wouldn't make Jon Snow the typical fantasy hero because that's cliche".....
Oh yes he would!
One viewer wants to know what character would you play (on the show)? GRRM: If I could magically clap my hands and become a different person, it would be cool to play Jon Snow who's much more of the classic hero. Everybody wants to be the classic hero! ABC Interview, 2014
GRRM: And the character I’d want to be? Well who wouldn’t want to be Jon Snow — the brooding, Byronic, romantic hero whom all the girls love. Meduza Interview, 2017
In fact he already has ☺️
#asoiaf#jon snow#yes grrm has criticized neo-tolkein fantasy - a lot!#but like....dpmo#I need so many people in this godforsaken fandom to familiarize themselves with grrm's engagement with the genre#he isn't trying to say “chosen one boy protagonist bad” where tf did people get that???#he's directly trying to challenge the more unsatisfactory elements of lesser copies of tolkien's legendarium#the ones that lift lotr wholesale without actually understanding what makes tolkien's writing snap#at the same time he has admitted himself that he has borrowed from lotr albeit with his own twists#but people in this fandom need to know that ye old man LOVES sword-and-sorcery fantasy#he LOVES a good epic#he LOVES pulp fantasy and sci fi#and those inspirations are directly reflected in asoiaf#the way he's named arthuriana/lotr/MST and many pulp stories with brooding dark heroes as key inspirations#almost all of which have mcs who fall into the typical fantasy hero role#and they inspire elements that are reflected back onto jon more than anyone else in asoiaf#like seoman snowlock = jon (+bran)#frodo - who btw is the mc in lotr not aragorn!! = jon (and bran)#FUCKING KING ARTHUR IS JON SO MUCH SO THAT RLJ IS LITERALLY A 1:1 COPY OF ARTHUR'S BIRTH STORY LIKE??!!!!#anyone who's even a little bit familiar with le morte d'arthur will be like oh yeah jon is literally king arthur like 😭😭#same with anyone who's ready the once and future king - which grrm has directly identified as his fav take on arthurian lit#ntm that jon is based on some of the most prolific characters in arthuriana - percival/galahad/lancelot etc#did you know that there's an iconic sci-fi series whose main character is called Eric JOHN STARK?#well grrm has directly quoted that series and the mc as a foundational book in his life#funny that huh? 🙂#do people even know what tf they're talking about when they say stuff like this???? ajdhhjshsbvshja#grrm engages very heavily with traditional fantasy tropes but he of course provides his own spin on them#never has he said that he's trying to avoid stories with hidden princes or chosen ones as boy protagonists#like someone find me a direct quote of him saying that - but I bet you can't smh

come hold my hand as i take you on a journey with me:
okay, refreshing your memory with this: a breakup preceded by buck and tommy telling each other they want the same thing -- a future (a forever) together. [and not to mention, tommy essentially told buck that he’s in love with him with his earlier (not pictured), “no matter how bad i want to be, i’m your first, not your last,” and him saying that he couldn’t handle buck breaking his heart,” (shown below)].

(putting the rest under the cut but you should definitely read it….hehe)

now there’s this answer (picture included below) that oliver gave to a question re: how he feels about a relationship for buck that’s more drawn out/one with a slow burn element. the question was not posed in relation to buck and tommy’s relationship but oliver’s answer is still interesting especially after buck and tommy’s breakup — which, note: was filmed before oliver did this interview meaning that he already had the knowledge of where buck and tommy’s relationship was headed in the narrative when giving his answer. again, the question was not in relation to buck and tommy’s relationship and oliver’s answer doesn’t directly reference them but since their relationship is buck’s most recent, i think his answer could have been influenced by it and it seems incredibly fitting to me considering the longing and yearning for tommy we got in 807 and 808 (which, i don’t know if these episodes were filmed before or after this interview but i think it’s a plausible and valid argument nonetheless) with buck baking every time he thought about tommy until he baked all his flour and was still jonesing for more (a mutual-longing, i should add, with tommy bubbling buck at the very same moment buck thought about texting him—something something a tractor beam pulling him towards tommy). really, the breakup with all of its narrative elements feels like the start of buck and tommy’s yearning and longing-filled slow burn as oliver described it below:
![Tumblr media](https://64.media.tumblr.com/9955aa8b2613afe6e01147a7fc5e185c/b9d577313408b659-69/s540x810/317b1c148be185ffb8cfc2b0f411fb2f42caf83d.jpg)
——
and then there’s this excerpt from an interview where tim minear talks about tarlos’ breakup and generally, why he breaks couples up in the 911 universe (even those who are beloved to the audience or clearly meant to be together). he was clearly much more reassuring after the tarlos breakup, but that does make sense as they are/were one of the two anchor ships in lone star and both actors are mains. and so, i would venture to guess that maybe he wants to keep buck and tommy’s potential reunion and make-up more of a surprise for the audience.
#i don’t know if i should tag this or not#for now i’ll leave it untagged#zahraa’s bakwaas#i’ve talked about both of those quotes before but i wanted to bring it all together#i could probably say even more/with more examples from the show

Comfortable in New Skin
#wanted to give loop some like... vague clothes. since while they dont Need to be covered... accessorising is a human right#and boy do they need some of those. one can assume the only place theyd be getting clothes is isa though. so. ponder it#in stars and time#isat fanart#isat spoilers#isat loop#loop isat#isat#lucabyteart#SPOILERS TAG BECAUSE UM. CAPTION IS UNNEGOTIABLE. SOZ#anyway i do have Even More doodles on the way. primarily about loop. predictable. a lot of thoughts on the body horror of it all.#if you were to ask me. i think loops quote unquote skin is uncannily loose when pushed or pulled in any way#almost as if it were clothes covering the skin rather than skin itself. probably feels fuzzy and vague too. as for their head?#non-solid but in the way where theres a force pushing outwards. radiating you could say. yknow. vague. undefined. not quite real#but thats just my headcanon. tee hee
