"You hear that? They're saying The Odyssey doesn't even have nobody!"

"They've got nobody in the Odyssey?"

"No I'm saying they don't got nobody."

"Nobody's there?"

"Nobody's not there!"

"So everyone's there?"

"Everybody but nobody!"

My poor baby :(. I’m sure this is big metaphor about his hurt inner child.

Let’s not even talk about how this is the cover art to the song.

I’ve got a lot of Thoughts(tm) about The Odyssey at the moment, but damnit Blum I’m an archer, not a film critic, so here’s something in my lane!

[dragonesseclectic]

As someone who read the Odyssey translation all the way through, I note that Odysseus's bow was not a standard Greek bow (whatever those were like). It was a storied bow that went through many illustrious hands before being gifted to him, that originated with the steppe nomads--i.e., it was a Scythian horse bow. A composite bow that is impossible to string if you don't know the trick of it. Blum doesn't mention that, but his brief diagram was that of a composite bow, so I assume he knows that.

Also the axe heads thing? That was a test of accuracy and adequate draw, not armor-piercing. Axe heads had a hole through them for mounting on the haft. Line up twelve of those with the holes in a line, and you have to shoot very straight to go through all 12 holes. Also the bow has to be correctly drawn or the arrow will drop during flight due to lack of kinetic energy and fail to go through all 12 holes. Arrows from a partially-drawn bow (lack of strength), or badly-strung bow (as demonstrated) won't fly straight and true.

Heart of Crown has a 2nd edition? When did that happen xD

I think one of the best parts of (finally) reading the Higurashi VNs is experiencing the Tips

You get additional little slice of life moments about village life and customs!

Glimpses into Oishi's investigations

Snippets from a scrapbook that really make you understand how absolutely unhinged the person writing them is

[fortune-maiden]

That's a veeeeeeery interesting theory Shion

Yeah I'm pretty confident this is an AI image, just one that does an actually neat visual trick with the camoflague

This image first appeared on the internet five years ago, predating the AI boom, so I don't think it is AI.
