i think what hurts me the most with charthur is that Arthur WANTED to stay and help Charles with the tribe, but Charles knew Arthur would never forgive himself for not helping the gang and told him to go. even though he definitely knew he'd never see Arthur alive again

#STOP OR I *WILL* CRY #gugh why are the tragedy characters doomed to tragic endings that's so unfair #charthur

Here's my take on the topic: the lens Christopher Nolan chose for The Odyssey is extremely inspired, and captures the heart of the original tale and its long-lasting role in western history.

That opening line, "in a time of apparent magic," immediately set up high expectations for the film when I watched it over the weekend, and I'm happy to say those expectations were met. One word in that line frames the entire movie. "Apparent." There's a couple definitions of this word, "clear to the understanding", "appearing as actual to the eye", and "manifest to the senses". And all of these definitions allow for an ambiguity that haunts the characters as well as the audience throughout the entire movie. Because yes, Odysseus and his crew can see the cyclops, but is it truly a grandiose monster, or simply a man they chose to view as supernaturally horrific due to his appearance and actions that scared them? Yes, the landing crew and the audience can see and hear Circe changing the men into pigs, but are we only getting a glimpse of their true nature for the first time, as Circe herself suggests? Is Athena following Odysseus, or are his actions haunting him? Are the gods torn between guiding Odysseus and punishing him, or are the forces of nature and the violent actions of men in conflict?

The ambiguity of it all means that we are constantly asking if any of the gods, magic, and monsters are real or if they are distorted memories/consciousness. Back to the earliest versions of the story, most of The Odyssey (or, at least, the parts of The Odyssey that we tend to focus on in retellings) is one man's recounting of his past, and not the present moment. Nolan capitalizes on this fact and emphasizes it, because we never see any sort of magic or god when we are on Ithaca. Instead, we see people talking about gods. People talk about feeling the support of Athena, the anger of Zeus, the power of Poseidon, the desire to sacrifice and pray to gods— the apparent existence of their magic in people's lives. We are watching a story about people telling stories.

And in fostering this question, in focusing the lens on the act of telling stories, Nolan is telling a story about Odysseus as much as he is telling a story about us. We also search for magic around us, we look for the guidance of bigger ideas, we find the symbolism and metaphors of nature so that we can learn and grow. We, like Odysseus, process the complexities, the fears, and the uncertainties of the universe through the stories we tell— including stories like The Odyssey. This story is a myth, and we have always, as a species, done the very thing Nolan does with the myth: we reinterpret history and hope, reimagine action and thought. This film understands exactly what a myth is at its core, and rather than getting caught up in creating the "perfect" adaptation of a myth from long ago, it chooses to take the ideas of the past and imprint them on the present. It focuses less on the monsters, and more on mankind. The lens Nolan chooses for this movie allows us to be Odysseus, to grapple with reality and fiction, and to find the truths that exist somewhere in-between.

#there's of course way more to the themes and such of the film #but just. the very framework of the movie? the way nolan chose to interpret myth itself?#SCRUMPTIOUS #like idk man i just think that a myth should be treated like a myth #like something fluid and alive and adaptable #rather than something static and inaccessible #the oddyssey #the odyssey movie #the odyssey movie analysis #cherrys rambles

hm I'd like to get more involved with the RDR2 fandom and meet some more people who are currently into the games, does anyone have a Red Dead discord server that's open to new people? preferably somewhere that's chill with shipping and talking about headcanons/AUs/fics and such! it'd be nice to bounce some creative ideas around and hear other people's takes on the characters!!

#guys please i want a small chill space with cool people #i want to talk art and writing for these western outlaws SO bad #rdr2 #red dead redemption 2 #charthur #< to gather the right audience #and to deter the anti-shipping folks #im making these cowboys hold hands and no one can stop me #idk how to work discord but yknow ill make my own server if i have to atp

Popular leftist voice: these right wingers must have brain damage. They must be bigots because they are literally reta suffering from blsck mold, or brain damage.

prettyflyforajedi

Popular leftist voice: Every single right-wing person is literally so ugly and chopped, let me point out their exact features and how they're ugly. Having bad thoughts literally ages you. Good People are always hot and sexy and have kind countenances.
