Medea Did Nothing Wrong

If you expect me to be at all consistent in adhering to Greek/Roman/Anglicised/Continental spelling of names, well then that's on you.

#get ready for the oresteia but everyone talks like they’ve been in intensive family therapy I guess

Orestes: I understand that I did not hold space for the pain Clytemnestra felt when Agamemnon brought home his younger partner but I hope that the kind folks here can extend me some grace as I was at my emotional capacity

i've thought about this for a couple of weeks and unfortunately everyone in the notes saying that an adaptation where the dialogue is like this but the action doesn't change would actually be good and more toxic is right

odysseus tying himself to the mast but he's doing some proto shibari type shit to make his tits look really good and his crew isn't saying anything but it's kind of hard not to notice

The tragedy of Medea feels almost anachronistically modern. Tackles statelessness and exile, involves a toxic relationship w a guy named Jason

Minotaur is not a species

The Minotaur was named that because he was the son of King Minos. Anyone with a bull head has to be named after their dad, like the Kyletaur or something.

My boyfriend was showing me his cat and I leaned over to kiss the cat on his soft little baby head and he went "meow" and scrambled away because I'd been wearing my headphones and I accidentally jabbed him with the microphone.

And I said "Damn, this is exactly like in the Iliad"

[rebels-cairn]

#explanation: this references the scene where Hektor the prince of troy goes to his wife after a battle and leans in to kiss his son #(who is still a baby and being held in andromache's arms) #but his son cringes away in fear of his father's battle helmet #it's a gut wrenching scene about how war dehumanizes you and separates you from the people you love #this interpretation implies that being a gamer is analogous

were I a figure in a Greek tragedy I simply would not eat unidentifiable meat at a banquet unless all my relatives were accounted for

[chaumas-deactivated20240115]

you show up to my banquet and eat your fill and only then do I reveal that I prepared your Impossible Burger out of your beloved soybean plant which you loved like a son
