#what a good tie in

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.

Lowkey obsessed with the little details surrounding young Silco's hair!

The little baby hairs, the loose strands tucked behind his ear and not completely in place strands at the back (the one bit not in place behind his head is also such a smart way to keep his design language stay sharp), the bangs at the front (similar to Jinx's but not as neatly done), all scream "I rake my hair with my fingers nonstop to comb it out and I tie my hair in less than 3 seconds because I got a revolution to run and I ain't got time for a haircut".

Makes his evolution to the slicked back undercut hit even harder. The hair design language in this series, mannnnnn 😭

BGAFDFDSXDHCFVHJHB DYING, THANKS

He's still definitely low-empathy, but he is SLOWWWLY getting better at navigating people's emotions lol (in a not-fake way, I mean 😂)

hmmm still thinking about the four tempers. they're so obviously a reference the four temperaments (humor theory personality types) and it drives me crazy that it's three perfect fits (melancholic = woe, sanguine = frolic, choleric = malice) and then it's phlegmatic = dread?? is this just weird?? is it a point about fear making you apathetic? i just cant make it fit in my head

ALSO can we talk about their personifications in the painting/dance. the whole goat thing is still driving me crazy but i'd still say the malice figure is a baphoment. the jester as frolic is also fitting although i always find it unnerving. the first time i saw it i thought it might me malice for a second. really drives the point that frolic is not the same as happiness, it's the temporary and superficial cheeryness of a melon party. dread is an old woman, which again .. not sure what's going on here. impassiveness ages you. i guess. but what makes me especially crazy is woe as a bride!!!! auugh!! and i saw someone say the main characters each have a prominent temper with helly as malice, dylan as frolic, irving as dread and mark as woe!! the widower ... haunted by the photo of his wedding and everything ...

[Zac] was just trying to tell me to be happy with the win, and I appreciate that about him. Because I can get lost in, just like everybody can, you get lost in the adversity of the season. You can't take winning for granted and I've tried to get better at that.

the theme for the closing party during the next big company event is casino royale... I know I always complain about "business casual" or "smart but laid-back" and other styles... but now I'd like that back

This is a friendly reminder that Malcolm Fade was the one who taught Julian Blackthorn how to tie a necktie.
