“Do dishes” and “take out trash” both require the use of a spell slot, vs “use phone” is a cantrip, and brother, I am a level one wizard

ancient roman women whose husband keeps looking at the neighbour's boy quintus and he never looks at her that way and she can't even chainsmoke in the kitchen because they don't have marlboro blues in ancient times. and she can't even go to the club because they haven't discovered drum and bass music yet. her friend clodia's having visions of a woman named doechii but neither of them knows what that means

while I didn’t personally enjoy Christopher Nolan’s Odyssey, I do appreciate his commitment to the long-lost tradition of historical drama movies where directors would pick up the most famous actors of the decade, stick them in gay little outfits and tell them to kill each other with swords

Remus loved James so much he’d die for him. Sirius loved James so much he’d kill for him. Peter loved James so much he killed him.

nolan's the odyssey has such a fundamentally culturally christian understanding of religion and divinity that it is genuinely jarring to see characters in a supposedly ancient greek historical context describe divinity and its expression in those terms. characters wonder aloud why gods hide themselves (they didn't), question the existence of what nolan interprets the supernatural to be (they wouldn't) and talk of zeus's law (not real, and still somehow bastardized) in the same way we would talk about the ten commandments. it's so out of place. and it taps into that "defy the gods" thing.

like. we can defy the christian god, in a way, because we can choose to not do what he says we ought to. sure. but we cannot defy greek gods in the same way, because the god is not just an entity that commands you but the very thing you are doing. apollo does not just send plagues, he is plague. you know apollo is real because there is plague. plague is not apollo acting in the world, it is an instance of apollo, in the same way that insight is athena, love is aphrodite, harvest is demeter, storms are zeus. gods are not commanding nature and sending signs and acting upon the world, because signs and nature and human nature are themselves the gods. the gods cannot be absent, because we still get ideas, and harvest, and go to war, and feel desire, and hunt. the gods cannot be defied because you cannot defy "getting ideas" or "harvesting" or "having sex" or "dying." to attempt to is entirely futile. like you cannot defy poseidon because you cannot defy the sea. you cannot defy aphrodite because you cannot defy love and reproduction. nature and human nature are unbeatable, and so the gods are unbeatable, because they are nature and human nature.

and it's such a beautiful way of looking at the world, and he just doesn't get that.

if you’re going to make a bad adaptation, at least make a good movie

behind every hot girl there is unhealthy, slightly concerning, spiritual connection to harry potter’s dead parents dead friend group

OKAY I just did a pub quiz and one of the questions was ‘which knight whose name contains two a’s served in the court of King Arthur’s and had an affair with his wife, Queen Guinevere.’ And I answered Lancelot because yeah it doesn’t have two a’s but like it’s Lancelot. The answer is Lancelot. And I lost the point because they said it was fucking Galahad??

GALAHAD????

I’ve spent like an hour scrolling every paper on loyalty in Arthurian legend I can find and Galahad is usually famously chaste and loyal???? Lancelot was a slut!!! Am I being really really dumb or is my anger justified please I have to know

me: maybe you 'know how joan of arc felt' but I, with my superior intellect and, obviously, hyperdeveloped empathy actually know how all of the saints feel. I feel the flames that licked saint lawrence, the shame of saint peter's denial, the divine ecstasy that wracked saint paul when he saw the burning bush, the

the corpse of morrissey i reanimated: okay well i feel like you're being- wait what i didn't die. i'm still alive. i'm just normal animated i'm not re- anything. what the fuck.
