I can’t believe they put Odysseus in a game, not pining for Penelope, and he’s not romanceable. This is a tragedy.

I started on hades 2, can you tell?

(She-lla is how we pronounce in italy it's just there for patriotism)

It kinda remembers me of Caesar, cause in Latin there are two pronounciation of Caesar (with the C of Cheese), which is the most widely used in Italy caused it's the same of the italian variant Cesare, and with the K sound. (ironically, the more correct one) , but in English it turned into See-sar.

Basically i'm afraid Sk-ylla is the right one, but I'm going to die wrong on this hill i don't care.

So apparently, in modern English at least, it’s supposed to be “Sylla,” with the c being silent.

However, apparently also, in Ancient Greek? It’s pronounced how they do in Hades 2, aka “Scylla,” where the c is pronounced and NOT silent.

…. Linguistics strikes again???

I thought that may be the case knowing Ancient Greek (for the little I remember of it anyway) and the unholy amount of research they did for this games

So what’s the tag for the ot3 zagreus/achilles/patroclus? cause I’ve been looking for it these past three days and found 1 post. Either I’m not guessing correctly or y’all lack vision.

everytime i get back on dating apps i wonder why people think they are so interesting that i'll just be so compelled by pictures alone. Not even interesting pictures of them practicing their hobbies, just...selfies.

Is it just me? Am I doing attraction wrong again?

I always encourage people to go to therapy if they are curious about it and then I think about the therapist who told my ex husband not to come back to Italy when I tried to kill myself because it would “reward” my bad behavior. And that’s why I always add that it may take a while to find the therapist good for you, who understands and is not A TOTAL ASSHOLE.

This has been your daily PSA to remind you that it’s not that therapy doesn’t work, you just need to find a new therapist

Studying the history and theory of translation for an exam and you know how we complain that boomer had it better? Guys, this people didn’t even know they language they were translating from, but they were just that good of writers that they could get away with it. Wild. Absolutely unhinged behavior, I love it.

Imagine writing a masterpiece of an Iliad translation like it was the case for the Italian one and people asked you how long have you studied Greek for and you went “oh I don’t know Greek, I read a bunch of Latin translations and asked my friends”

sorry i’m reblogging this again but this just makes me so fucking angry. this reminds me of those dudes running game of thrones who had virtually no experience and were allowed to just. treat a multimillion dollar franchise as their little fuck-around-and-learn-about-tv sandbox. why are white men with no credentials allowed to get away with this over and over again while the rest of us have to fight tooth and nail for literal crumbs. i fucking hate the entertainment industry

[mrspockomakeitso]

tfw you realize you put more thought into your self indulgent fanfic in middle school than someone in charge of a multimillion dollar franchise that employs thousands of people and is watched by millions.

you know I always said the sequels had potential but got ruined by conflicting visiong and poor planning, like they couldn't decide what story they wanted to tell, but I didn't realize the amount of planning actually made was zero. Good job, who would have thought.

I love talking with neurotypical people about my executive dysfunction because I'm like "yeah there's this invisible wall in my head that I'm incapable of getting past no matter what I do and it stops me from doing things" and they're like what the actual fuck

Made the terrible mistake to start playing Hades before an exam. My wrists hurt, my study hours are merely fleeting suggestions,patroclus can choke me with his thighs.

I would like to share the story of a very understandable but unfortunate mistake i made at work recently

So I'm weeding our ancient and terrible collection of children's books for the first time in possibly ever, and I'm making a decision about a book about migrant workers by Sandra Weiner, called Small Hands, Big Hands. And I'm not 100% sure and I go to just see if there's anything out there about this book's being notable in any way so I do an open web search for

"small hands big hands weiner"

And then I look at my results for a moment

and then at last I somberly add to the end of my search, "BOOK"

[chaostheorietblr]

I have one like that:

In mathematics, you often consider the two-dimensional plane - you know, the idealised flat two-dimensional object that extends infinitely - which can be real or complex (doesn't matter what that means)

On this, you can perform a mathematical operation called a "blow-up" (resulting in a more complicated geometry)

I needed to look up a formula related to this, so I confidently typed into the search bar:

"Blow up real plane"

The results were not what I wanted and I am not sure if I'm on a terror watchlist now.

There is a supermarket in Italy who’s called “tiger” but in Italian (Tigre). Every time I want to buy groceries online I google Tiger, then like a crazy person i say out loud “I apologize google, that was indeed very vague” .

This is only 15% voluntary.

if you want me to consume a new media you MUST catch me at the exact moment when the stars are aligned and the air pressure is equal to the current degree of the sun’s peak against the horizon and all the cosmic energies are perfectly unified (aka my old interest is fading out) or i will nod and say “im adding that to my list!” Knowing theres no chance i will check it out

“unless its a book!” “unless you tell me it has gay people in it!” “this but only for live action shows” “theres a good chance i’ll get to it eventually” no wrong this post is not for you this post is ONLY for bitches who could have a treasured friend recommend them something that sounds grown in a lab to be your personal catnip and, with no choice in the matter, immediately know it will never be the right time to watch/read/listen to it

Not that it’s in any way or form the thing that bothers me the most (doesn’t make it even top 10), but the miracle thing? What? How? If heaven and hell can just take away their powers why didn’t they do it back in S1? Or S2 at least? Why now?

I choose to believe this is confirmation that Chaz is really dead. Like the music video was before he tried to con crimson, it feels “real” cause people have more the reaction I’d expect unlike the funeral short (fascinated at first wildly uncomfortable later). Then, back to the present, the paper says “still missing”.
