低头思故乡

Bixia one of my relatives is scheming to steal my favorite horse and I humbly submit a petition to have him killed publicly.

Dont mind these chests full of silver I left them here for no particular reason and I will not miss them if they disappear

hi peon, you don't need to bribe me. punishing criminals is it's own reward!

[qin-shi-huang-di]

by Heaven you are right! i was so caught up in the euphoria of punishing horse thieves i forgot that bribery is also a crime!

guards, you know the drill! we even have an extra horse 🐴 to use!

[qin-shi-huang-di]

emotional support 🥰

[casperwyomingxer]

I assume to stomp over any potential bystander who dares to comment remotely negatively about the execution?

[qin-shi-huang-di]

finally, a somewhat intelligent peasant!

[qin-shi-huang-di]

DISGUSTING!!!!!

EMOTIONAL SUPPORT HORSE 🐴 STOMP THESE PEONS TO DEATH WITH YOUR HOOVES!!!!!!!

[qin-shi-huang-di]

[qin-shi-huang-di]

OH SO YOU THINK MY ROYAL DECREES ARE RISIBLE? YOU FIND MY ROYAL POSTS LAUGHABLE?

very well, normally we would have your kneecaps amputated, but since you are such a comedian, we can make it the elbows instead.

see, his royal highness can be humerus 🦴 too.

Yeah, she could’ve done this in her standard Sailor Moon form. Super form is overkill, really.

[halfpastcaketime-deactivated201]

Sailor Moon is stronger than Goku. I don’t make the rules. Fight me about it.

[dragonxball]

What!? 👀

[seidmadr-secrets]

I’m on a still active forum, with a solid vs debate scene. Sailor Moon vs. the God-Emperor of Mankind from 40k is one of the most treasured threads there, as Sailor Moon trashed the guy.

[catbureau]

19 pages straight of debate over Sailor Moon vs. God-Emperor of Mankind, in which every time a 40k fan desperately brings up a new point, it immediately gets negated by another one of Sailor Moon’s powers

Might soon be taking on a coworker's leopard gecko that is having issues with her eyes, which from what I've been learning can be an early sign of vitamin a deficiency. Coworker is going to try artificial tears and supplementing but if that doesn't work I'll be taking her home. She's 5 years, has been apparently healthy up to this point. First point in my care would be vet exam, bloodwork, and a fecal test for crypto.

The last 2 pictures are as far as her eyes will open at this time, and that is with proparacaine

the thing about art is that sometimes you'll be moved to tears by stuff that is not very good

think that everyone has their own personal theme in life

[notesbyash]

every nolan film is about time. it winds its way through his filmography; it is fractured in memento, distorted in inception, expanded in interstellar, reversed in tenet.

every hopper painting is about stillness. it is found in every brushstroke; at dusk in automat, at dawn in morning sun, at noon in office in a small city, at night in nighthawks.

i have a friend who orbits ideas of power, another who delights in the prosaic and the plain. one weaves around systems and structures, another returns always to wonder at the sea.

there are other elements of course - our lives cannot be measured by single concepts no matter how large they may be - but time and again i think we return to the things that fascinate, the things that intrigue, the things we cannot quite tear ourselves away from. the themes of our lives.

There are 2 cardinal laws at play in Road to Empress

The first is dead wife always wins. You can never ever defeat dead wife, because she is dead and cannot be defeated.

The second is all roads lead to soup. even if you aren't the one drinking it, soup is involved, and you will perish at the hands of soup.

the reason "robot racism" is often a really stupid metaphor is the same reason that like. discrimination against demons or vampires or whatever doesn't work, is because there's often a pretty justified reasons humans are scared of vampires or robots or whatever, in a way that doesn't apply to real life minorities, like a fantasy author will be like "the reason vampires are discriminated against is because most of them and kill and eat people for fun and pleasure, and so humans respond by trying to kill them, isn't that so sad" and like no that's a perfectly fine reason to not trust vampires i think.

[roadhogsbigbelly]

sci-fi writers will be like "every robot on earth randomly decided to kill all humans for no real reason, and now people don't trust robots, and this is a metaphor for racism" and like no you just wrote a metaphor for white people actually.

Anyway here is my take:

I think trying to make a movie out of The Odyssey (not the story of Odysseus, but The Odyssey as in the poem) is a bit of a doomed endeavour as the structure of The Odyssey simply does not jive with the structure of the Hollywood movie

I think you COULD make a good movie out of the odyssey but would need to engage w the fact that it's a work which veers back and forth between fantasy and realism; that it's a story told out of chronogical order; and also that it is a Trickster Hero story first and foremost. It is perhaps best done as a comedy but with the occasional shocking swerve into graphic violence.

[penny-anna]

Here are my opinions:

The Odyssey should be a musical but ☝️only some of the time. When Odysseus is narrating? Musical. Penelope and Telemachus on Ithaca? 🙅‍♀️

Odysseus can break the fourth wall during the parts where he's narrating.

Movie opens with Odysseus inside Charybdis, whirling around and around clinging to a tiny raft and screaming. *Freeze frame* yeah, that's me. You're probably wondering how I got here.

[penny-anna]

In essence am I implying it should be tonally similar to the emperor's new groove but with ultra violence? Perhaps
