Not that I think all marriages are doomed but when deciding who to marry you should ask yourself “is this someone I’d want to divorce?” As in, is this someone I believe would be mature and fair, even when they’re upset and don’t particularly like me at the moment. Is this someone I could continue to trust while going through an adversarial process? And if the answer is no, don’t marry them.

“scientists don’t want you know” is a phrase that always cracks me up because if you actually meet a scientist they will be shaking and crying like an overstimulated chihuahua with the need to let you know

Anti-intellectualism and media illiteracy is sooooo on the rise you guys :DDDD

Now a quick comparison between The Odyssey (2026) and Troy (2004)

Do i even need to say which ones were historically inaccurate and STILL managed to make the outfits look aesthetically pleasing, worn-in, and not make Agamemnon batman?

Troy's Agamemnon didn't wear this now, did he?

Yet he manages to sport an armor that doesn't look so.... Plastic and new and... Batmanish (I'm beating this dead horse DOWN you can't stop me). It feels lived-in (atleast to me).

Anyone whose rebuttal to the mid ass fashion design of The Odyssey is "there's a CYCLOPS in there" or "It's a myth anyway", I know everything I need to know about you.

Also Nolan himself (reportedly) said it's gonna be the most historically accurate adaptation and yet look at what we're dealing with here.

Edit: Also so much prop and none of them have the colors of the Mycenaean era WHYYYY

So not okay about this paragraph analysing Menelaus' character from the Oxford Iliad Critical Guide

Just so people know, mullets were named after Hektor:

Σ Lykophron 1133: Ἑκτόρειος κόμη λέγεται ἡ τὰ ὀπίσω καθειμένα ἔχουσα, τὰ δὲ ἔμπροσθε κεκαρμένα. By “Hektor's hairstyle” is meant one with the back let loose, but the front shorn.

For the further intrigued: Austin RG. Hector’s Hair-Style. The Classical Quarterly. 1972; 22(2):1-1.

“But no! Why did my mind suggest such things?”

Achilles vs. Hector, Iliad Book 22 (tr. Wilson)

Hector why WAS that the thing that came to mind XD Wanted to draw out this passage since it was certainly surprising when I first read it. Interesting seeing the other translations and the way they phrase this, but I went with the version that I first read Xd

i WISH more people knew about age of bronze, it's literally the 'historically accurate' comprehensive and GAY adaptation of the trojan war all the accuracy warriors are clamoring for

it's a comic series written and drawn entirely by Eric Shanower, started in 1998 with those exact parameters

historically situated in the Mycenaean/Hittite cultures

drawing from nearly every text on the war from Homer to Shakespeare

explicit about the possibility that achilles+patroclus may have been meant as lovers. Shanower is gay himself, and found it important to depict them as such all the way back in 1998.

it can be read here in part or here completely (🏴‍☠️), but i also highly recommend supporting the artist, since this is a multi-decade passion project.
