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:

[plain-flavoured-english]

Excuse me???

[ruffboi-mags]

you are right and you should say it.

Is this the face of a man who would put his own infant in front of a plow to avoid going to war?

Absolutely not

You know who would try that shit?

Is this the face of a man who would defy the very gods to get home to his wife?

You know who would defy the gods just to show he could get away with it?

The last thing Penelope's suitors ever see:

[jkl-fff]

I didn't even know or care that there was Odyssey discourse ... But now I'm completely on board with Jason Mantzoukas as Odysseus.

Figuratively on board, to be clear. I'm not literally getting on board any ships involved with the Odyssey.

Enough fluff, let´s torture Frodo, yay! 😇​

This one´s for @ffrodobaggins 🤗​💝​

*seductively wraps tail around his crush’s leg*

OH. MY. GHrhauaiaiHEUWIQIWJJWKA

Youve done it AGAIN

Words cant even begin ti describe my LOVE FOR THIS, THIS COMBINES LIKE 3 OF MU FAVOURITE HEADCANNONS. EHSHAHA and in your artstyle?!? So WONDERFUL.

Look at sams face. Oh my gkd. Hdushqhaj

And frodo?? Hes so mischevious, what is he DOING HE KNOWS HE KNOWS HEHAHA

This is one of the things I like best with character designs (or redesigns) that have tails. Love when the artist/writer explores how tails would be used to express emotions, personalities, etc.

And if the writer/artist goes deeper into expressing how tails would be incorporated into worldbuilding and characters' identities (fashion, class, gender, sexuality, etc.)? Well, I'm gonna be bouncing around like a happy bunny!

"But you promised me we'd go to the restaurant that serves kangaroo meat ..."

(I've been to one of those. The kangaroo was a lot like pork in texture, but a like like beef in flavor, if you're wondering.)

[avoidcrowdraws]

I think he likes it

[jkl-fff]

Laios, no! Your virgin lungs!

[avoidcrowdraws]

Nonsense

[jkl-fff]

It's like vibing with his favorite music. The words aren't what matters, but the pleasing sound.

(Plus, you just know Chilchuck is having ~fun~ thoughts while vibing.)

Tag Game!!

If you were a video game character, what do you think your idle animation would be?

I think mine would be spinning around in circles or doing a silly little dance.

@elronthemage @thestoryteller-thedreamer @the-ellia-west @crowleys-mortalcounterpart @loftwingofcrimson + anyone else who'd like to answer!

[jkl-fff]

Thank you kindly, @pratiquecompte, for the tag.

I have a whole stretching routine I go through. Like, I actually so this. It'd be that. Leave me on idle long enough, and I'll go through all 30+ minutes of it.

[jkl-fff]

did u ever find out what the Choshamfevy looked like?

The choshamfevy?

*shudders*

Yes, I did find out what that ... that BEAST, that ABOMINATION, that ANATHEMA looks like. And I wish I'd never laid eyes on its horrid features.

*pours a shot of something strong (orange juice mixed with lime soda) and knocks it back*

I am haunted by the memory. And worse still, sometimes I can hear its call far off in the distance. (It sorta makes a "skweeezampanarrgh" sound.) Meaning it hasn't finished with me. No, it stalks me to this day, and shall I fear even after my soul leaves this current body to go craft another one out of clay and pistachio shells. I will never be free of the choshamfevy ...

Thanks for asking!

[jkl-fff]

YOU! It's time for YOU to go through silly game time!

If you could have ANYTHING as a pet, but it cannot be conventionally cute, what would it be?

Also, as a sidenote, could you give me asks at half the rate? I usually wake up to an ask and then get another a few hours later. Thanks!

That's a tough one. Because, like, many ugly animals kinda circle back around to being cute in a so-ugly-they're-cute kinda way. Like bulldogs or many bat species.

I guess I'd go with ... a vulture of some kind. Although ...

Thanks!

Also, sorry for the delayed response. I went offline from [tumblr] for a week as part of a blackout protest. Just so you know that I wasn't, like, ignoring or offended by your request.

Incidentally, if it helps, I only compose one SGT per day (under normal, non-protesting parameters, at least) and there's never any need to rush to answer them. Or even to answer them at all, if you don't feel like it for a given question or on a given day. Anyway, one SPT per day. So while timezones and our different schedules and [tumblr]'s own wonky operational restrictions (for example, I can only send 10 asks per hour) might make it so that I happen to send today's SGT shortly after you answer yesterday's (or maybe even before, if you happen to reblog something else before answering an ask—I know who to send SGT to based on my notifications, incidentally), there will never be more than one for a given day.

Hopefully that makes sense, and isn't just a convoluted mess of words.

At any rate, I can try to accomodate your request if you'd still prefer it less than one question per day. But, um ... please don't hold it against me if I forget. Between you and me (and anyone on the internet who might happen to read this) ... my memory is less than stellar.

Today, I 'Silly Game Time' YOU!!!!

WEIRD BATTLE OF THE BANDS!

Nine Inch Tails, who cover Nine Inch Nails songs with shifted lyrics (more explicitly furry) and also who sing only in the dreaded uwu-speeak.

OR

Wheezer, a group of 80-92 year-olds who cover weezer songs. no lyrics changed, and they have soul, but they do not have the lungs to properly sing. 0% of coughs done in recordings are cut or silenced.

If youhad to listen to one of these options for one whole hour, uninterrupted, which would you choose?

The geezers' Wheezer. Quite a crowd-pleaser, based on your teaser (if none have a seizure and get sent to the morgue freezer).

Honestly, though, they likely won't be so loud and intense that I have a headache and am just done (mentally shutdown) after 23 minutes. This is why I myself don't do well at most live concerts.

Thanks!

RANDOM GAME TIME! which of these three guitar riff is more iconic, do you think?

Smoke on the Water by Deep Purple?

Under Pressure (also used in Ice Ice Baby) by David Bowie and Queen

or Another One Bites the Dust also by Queen

On the basis that I actually played "Smoke on the Water" a few times in jazz band, I'm gonna say that one.

Thanks!

wanted to doodle something before i left for my trip so uuhhh soft launching another au ?? designs by @hypogryffin

it's a pretty basic bodyguard/noble au on the surface but a lot of interworkings make it very compelling for them i think. they essentially start out both being the most ostracized of their groups and connect becauase of being "forced" together due to that. the homoeroticism of being best friends and goofing off despite their roles, but still engaging in the devotion and loyalty of it

"Can you call off your guard dog?!"

Ren: How dare you? He's not my guard dog, he's my ~loyal knight~!

"Then why is he BITING my arm?!"

Ren: Because he cleverly found a loop hole in my earlier order not to stab you, hit you, or strangle you.

Stole this from somewhere but i think it’s appropriate

And the more you exist in proximity to it, the more it warps your worldview. Gollum and Frodo were both corrupted just by being near it for too long.

If you're here with questions about Silly Game Time, please know that I am logged off [tumblr] until May 30th as part of the black out protest against its age verification policy on UK and Brazilian users.

Though I'm very proud of and enjoy SGT, this is more important. I encourage you all to do the same.

Internet censorship is contrary to the human right of self-expression. Too much is already censored on the internet and here on [tumblr], which of course has a disproportionate effect on POC and queer people (especially trans people). It's reprehensible, it's discrimination, it's gone too far already.

@staff @changes Shame on you. Stop this nonsense.
