nolan’s odyssey = cw’s riverdale. Next question

[newyearoldangel]

nolan’s odyssey is a story about stories. what do you tell yourself when you come back from the wreckage of the known world that you brought about? the suffering does not make you better. polyphemus’s twisted features—a half-remembered shadowy face in the dark. the laistrygonians—warriors far beyond the weaponry of the greeks. curses brought on by “gods” survival framed as “trickery” and “cunning”. odysseus might’ve never been a descendent of hermes. athena wasn’t there. the ocean did what the ocean does. the wind blew the other way until otherwise. what do you tell others about yourself when you win the war, but lose everyone alongside you? you come back with no husbands, no fathers. you destroyed a city of innocent people for nothing more than the greed of a corrupt ruler. you think you are noble, but you are savages, and scared of it! and so you invent worse things—gods, monsters, curses, jailers. all so you can stay true to the story you tell about yourself. if you go home, and you don’t have a story to tell your way out of the mess you’ve made, you’re responsible for the breaking of the world. if odysseus had ever existed, he wouldn’t have been half the man the stories tell of. no one ever is. tell me the story of a complicated man indeed

saw a tweet that was like it’s so hot out i’m wearing the teeny-tiniest denim cut-offs i can find and im still sweating like crazy Yes because denim is not breathable. Ur walking around in concrete jungle nyc wearing vintage denim clinging 2 ur crotch. obviously you’re overheating . what happened to linen pants and a linen shirt. What happened to cotton. why are you wearing polyester and denim and then complaining ofc you’re warm

i am an evil young woman who has spent her whole life fantasizing about forces larger than myself taking me away from the inevitable changes in my life i would have to face

[newyearoldangel]

i am an evil young woman who contemplates killing herself to avoid having to face moving away because technically it would result in the same outcome (not seeing me again) (permanently) and i know they’re technically not the same thing but i have a hard time understanding that people remember when i leave a room and that my death would affect others #selfish so i would never do something like that. But sometimes i really want to

when you’re leaving the whole world starts looking like the taste of flavored ices. pastel colored and intangible

minutes spent listening to music actually don’t count and are like the horse birthday which is to say it’s a grand total of 1 minute always for the rest our lives forever and it’s a shared one minute so you and i are always connected no matter what we will always share the Minute of Music

[newyearoldangel]

every time i get sad i listen to back on you by djo because it literally starts off with dry your eyes and every time i go Sir yes sir mr keery. the choir part just cheers me up a little every time

the zendaya thing isnt even a new phenomenon by any means!! the article mentions margot robbie wearing the taj mahal diamond as well, and in addition to that i also want to remind people that diljit dosanjh's request to wear the patiala necklace for the 2025 met gala was denied by cartier because they said it was in a museum and could not be loaned. however they had no issues at all loaning it to emma chamberlain, a white woman, for the 2022 met gala, while they turned down the request of a punjabi man who wanted it to honor his heritage.

this behavior is nothing new. the global south and everything in it - the people, the culture, our heritage - is seen as nothing more than a decoration or commodity to colonizers. i don't even need to bring up the koh i noor or the entire british museum; these examples are recent and egregious enough on their own.

of course this is not to imply that any of the people involved here - zendaya, margot robbie, or emma chamberlain - had any sort of malicious intentions. but the ignorance is just as bad in my opinion. the ignorance is just as harmful, if not more. because it means we are not even an afterthought. it means that the real people and histories and heritages of the global south do not even register when these people are putting together looks for their movie premiers and met gala appearances. everything is just reduced down to a shiny piece of jewelry whose history they need not bother with. it's just a continued reminder of the way colonization affects us all even long after independence, of how barely-healed wounds keep being reopened even decades later. even now, we are being denied connections to our histories and heritages while they are freely being given out to those that have nothing to do with it and don't care for it. and i'm sick of it.

& honestly there's no debate to be had the zendaya earrings are orders of magnitude worse than kim kardashian wearing that marilyn dress. yes that piece was a one of a kind unique textile made so specifically for marilyn monroe she had to be sewn into it. at the end of the day it was a ~70 year old usamerican cultural artefact being repurposed by an american for an american cultural event and everyone involved knows exactly where the dress came from + what happened to it + where it went afterwards. zendaya is wearing the looted (or forged) cultural heritage of a people her government is currently bombing & whose lives they have been deliberately making unliveable for decades to a movie premiere that has fuck all to do with iran. we don't know where those discs came from where they were found or by whom & we never will. AND the jeweller appears to have altered them substantially from their original condition. destroying a people's cultural heritage at the same time you destroy their country + their lives so you can look good on a red carpet One Time i want to fucking hurl

Zendaya’s The Odyssey premiere earrings spark ethics row

The earrings, worn by Zendaya at The Odyssey press tour, are believed to be 2,000-3,000 years old and come at a time when the US is bombing

An archaeologist quoted in the article says "the point of these earrings is not to showcase legitimate ancient artistry, it is to fetishize the past, to be a commodity, stolen from the elite, circulated illegally, and immorally…this is about class signalling."
