Who is the better texter out of the two of you?

I think it's a misuse of your big platform to allow the spreading of transgenderism! We do not need those freaks on this earth

I need those freaks actually, and I'm going to use my platform to spread transgenderism like Judas spread his legs for Jesus.

[willgrahamscock]

bro yes he did lol says it in my bible 649 times

[itsevanffsbutspam]

transman christian/catholic here, firstly, thanks for sticking up for our rights even if you're not trans yourself, i appreciate you doing that and it means a lot to me, if not a lot of others.

i'd like to raise a counterpoint however, and obviously feel free to dispute me on this, but considering jesus asked his disciples to partake in consuming his flesh, would that not imply jesus bottoms?

[willgrahamscock]

incredibly important question, lets ask the internet

Who bottoms?

Jesus

Judas

What do you think of the Odysseus takes that claim that he cheated on Penelope during his return (Circe, Calypso)? Are they accurate? Are they based on misinformation?

they're one hundred percent accurate lmao there's no question about it. in the odyssey hermes tells ody he gets to fuck circe if he wins from her and they absolutely bang one out before she tells him about the underworld etc. same with calypso. later epics (telegony) and mythographers and authors also keep coming up with sons he had with both goddesses so there wasn't even a question of chastely refusing either of them for love of penelope.

i wanna say this isn't christianity so (male) chastity isn't a virtue but tbh it's better to say this is patriarchy. a wife's integrity lies in remaining chaste so the legitimacy of her husband's heirs can't be questioned but a man's integrity (maritally) lies in selecting a good wife and respecting her status as his Main Heirsqueezer. it was frowned upon to fuck around where said wife could see it, perhaps, but even then what is a wife gonna do. this is patriarchy

[brisim-claimhte]

he does have sex with them, but in homeric epic he does not freely consent to said sex. For Circe its done via coercion (his men's safety is on the line, and while he is immune to her magic, she can influence others to harm him) and for Calypso she enchants him. She casts a love spell on him (this is far clearer in the Greek than in translations).

[en-theos]

yeah and I'm saying that's moot point because the greeks did not have the same concept of cheating or moral judgements about it when it concerned men. so it's moot point whether it was consensual or not (and to our modern perception it isnt in the case of calypso) because odysseus is not expected to be faithful to penelope like penelope must be to odysseus, especially when it concerns goddesses.

either way I'd also need to see the greek texts to ascertain whether unwillingness is expressed and love magic is used but either way he does fuck both goddesses which I think answers the initial question. yes he fucks other women (goddesses) no he's not ""cheating"" because men are supposed to and expected to fuck around (consensual or not).

whether we consider it cheating depends on a modern reader's assessment of odysseus' extenuating circumstances. is it still cheating if it's fuck or die

[lateralvoid]

the thing about Epic the Musical, which is not "The Odyssey" canon but its own derivative work, is Odysseus not "cheating" on Penelope is a critical part of the plot and this version of Odysseus' character. whether or not Greeks had the concept of a husband cheating on his wife is irrelevant.

this is just to explain why people are pushing the "fandom" narrative that any sex Ody had wasn't consensual or simply didn't happen in this version of the story.

Lyra, my beloved cat of 13 years, passed away this year on Father's Day. She's been by my side through very difficult times and was my little rock of steady and unrelenting love. I struggled a lot drawing this, and struggled a lot posting it, but I know I would've wanted to read a comic like this that validated my grief for her when I lost her.

Wherever you are, Lyra my little summer star, I love you always! Thank you for being the best thing in my life.

[lateralvoid]

i will literally never be ok again after reading this. it's so beautiful, sensitive, and i have to go hug my cat.

[rot-iron]

I'm really proud of the work I did in 2024 – not just the quality of the work (pretty good) but of my "work-life balance." I finished a graphic novel while employed 9-5 and I still made time to travel and see my friends! Crazy...

Hotblood! hits shelves next year 😎

I think Odysseus is the guy everyone else makes talk to the cops when they show up to bust the party.

[byjove]

I think he could do a really good “Hello officer, how are you?” if he had to.

YEAH EXACTLY

The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers (2002)

[thatswhenyouseesparks-deactivat]

Still my favorite story from the Lord of the Rings set: Viggo Mortensen bonded so much with the horse he rode in the movies that after filming was over he bought it from its owner. If that doesn’t warm your heart I don’t know what could.

[terecita-deactivated20201128]

don’t forget that he also bought arwen’s horse for her stunt rider when she couldn’t afford it awww

[1nksplotched-deactivated2014020]

#also don’t forget that for the rohirrim they put a call out for locals #bring a horse show us you can ride it and get a part in the battle scenes #and one women went out roped a wild horse and rode for a few days to set #and got to be a rider of rohan

[retaliatesfirst]

also sort of relevant viggo also bought the horse that costarred with him in the movie hidalgo and subsequently took the horse (tj) with him to the red carpet premier. 

[thefeathercloak]

Also most of the Riders of Rohan are actually women because when they put out that call mostly women showed up with their horses and the costume team just stuck beards on them.

[cremblr]

if this isn’t the best post i don’t

So you’re saying the entire Rohan army could have killed the Witch-King of Angmar.

““I went to [Tolkien’s] public lectures. They were absolutely appalling. In those days a lecturer could be paid for his entire course even if he lost his audience, provided he turned up for the first lecture. I think that Tolkien made quite a cynical effort to get rid of us so he could go home and finish writing Lord of the Rings.””

[kvothbloodless]

“He gave his lectures in a very, very small room and didn’t address us, his audience, at all. In fact he looked the other way, with his face almost squashed up against the blackboard. He spoke in a mutter. His mind was on finishing Lord of the Rings, and he was really musing to himself about the nature of narrative. But I found this so fascinating that I came back week after week, as did one other person. I’ve always wondered what became of him, because he was obviously equally fascinated. And because we stuck there, Tolkien couldn’t go away and write Lord of the Rings! He would say the most marvelous things about the way you take a very basic plot and twitch it here and twitch it there—and it becomes a completely different plot.”
