As a Greek, in response to the current controversy about Matt Damon being cast as Odysseus, I'd just like to share that one of the moments that changed my brain chemistry as a kid was reading a novelized version of the Odyssey and coming across the following description of Odysseus when Circe sees him for the first time and thinks he's hot: "his hair curled like a clematis and his eyes were very brown".
So may I present my own casting choice for Odysseus:
I met a printer early in my IT career that did not want to be a printer. it sat in a school reprographics room, sullenly chewing any job it was fed - if it deigned to notice them at all.
then one day, a miracle occurred. an exhausted physics teacher, instead of punching in 12 for the number of copies she wanted of the 30-page booklet she had made for her A-level physics class, punched in 1200.
and that printer came to life. this print job was its moment, its magnum opus! it WOULD NOT be parted from it, no matter what we did, until we physically unplugged it from the wall, by which time it had printed almost 200 copies.
moral of the story: no printer wants to be a printer, unless you also do not want it to be a printer for a bit.
netflix: here's the movie you've been waiting 5 years for but just wait a second sorry we're going to end it on a massive cliffhanger with all the main characters separated and set up for torture and permanent death and no sorry we haven't announced a sequel i know a lot of you were waiting to see the announcement in the post credits but we might do it we might not we'll see!
HERE WE GO! The Rowaelin Month Prompt List for 2025 !!!
Every day for the entire month of September, we'll celebrate everyone's favorite Fireheart and Buzzard! We had so many great prompt submissions this year, and we tossed in a few of everyone’s old favorites and we can’t wait to see what you all create!
As usual, we’ve included a handy calendar image for you all, but if for any reason the image isn’t working or is hard to read, the full list is written out below the cut.
Participation every day is not a requirement! You can create submissions for as few or as many of the listed prompts as you like!
Please remember to tag your creations with #rowaelinmonth so people following the tag can find your works and give us a mention @rowaelinscourt so we can reblog it!
Please remember that all works MUST have appropriate tags/or content warnings. NSFW content is required to be tagged clearly and hidden below a ‘Read More’ cut. We want everyone to have a fun and safe time engaging with content!
All genres of work are welcome, but please note any major warnings at the top of the work so that readers or viewers can have some idea of what to expect.
Canon week is to fill that canon shaped hole in everyone’s hearts! While we kindly request Canon Week prompts remain specifically for canon scenarios, remember that any and all prompts are welcome to be interpreted as a canon/canon inspired setting as well. With creativity and imagination, the possibilities are limitless!
Any kind of fanwork can be submitted for this event so long as it can be applied to the prompt. Fanfiction, fanart, headcanons, playlists or anything else you can think of! There are no requirements and you can submit multiple works for the same prompt if you so wish!
