Woke up today thinking about how if I were Vlaakith, the moment I would have a paranoid dream of Orpheus returning, I would have been taken out his main lackey Voss. The last loose end. Why on earth was he still alive all these centuries???

She's too distracted by the soothing agonized moans of the Skin Sphere to hear the voices warning her of her mistakes. Listen to your doubts. Don't let guilt drag you down queen.

You know. I'm in my ego era, and you know what actually? Hell yeah.

Maybe I would keep around the second hand man of my enemy as a trophy.

As a treat.

hearing anything about the nolan odyssey is so funny. it's like "they cut the extremely important and infamous nobody scene" "the cyclops is a giant puppet that they put in an actual historical cave + gave circe animatronics for her pig transformation instead of cgi" "they dumped plastic skeletons in an environmentally protected location they were not supposed to be in" "they recreated ancient greek instruments in order to have an accurate score" "all of odysseus's agency is basically gone" "anne hathaway actually learned how to weave ancient looms" "the women in this movie are treated like shit" "they actually buried actors alive to get those underworld shots" "did you see what the fuck zendaya was fucking wearing holy shit you can't DO THAT, MA'AM" "what do you mean there was a legitimate epic the musical reference" "NOT A SINGLE FUCKING GREEK WAS CAST IN THIS MOVIE"

like did nolan have two guys standing at his side at all times whispering ideas in his ear and one told the truth and the other told lies and they didnt tell him which was which until they wrapped production cause

Every time Homer starts describing Odysseus' physical appearance this story turns into a smut novel

Odysseus and His Patron Goddess

Athena is NOT Odysseus’s conscience or a manifestation of his guilt, she’s literally this:

[starweaverblog]

Rethinking the scene in Troy and if we take Nolans words "he wanted realism" , with Odysseus reduced to a sad traumatized man, then "Athena" was never the goddess but the random trojan girl he saw getting her head cut off in front of him in Troy. So all the time "athena" is a random girl he was hallucinating whenever he would feel guilty.

I guess to Nolan "PTSD war veteran with hallucinations" was better than "cunning prideful king of Ithace that gets help from the gods he's devoted to"

Nolan just casually wrote out the female co-protagonist of the story, the LITERAL GODDESS, one of the most beloved respected and admired Greek Deities. Just so he could create this monstrosity. That they are so proud of. I have no words.

Remember! When companies lay off all their staff because AI is cheaper, this sort of shit is what you can leverage for a better contract when they are inevitably forced to hire everyone back :)

Odysseus and Helen doodles

Inspo: (1) In the odyssey where Menelaus mentions Helen being able to mimic the voices of the soldiers wives and (2) When Helen tells Telemachus the story of how Odysseus disguised himself as a beggar and Helen recognized him

Context for people who don’t know:

When Odysseus was a prince, he was one of many suitors who were trying to marry Helen. Helen’s father was nervous that since all the suitors were important figures, choosing one would cause conflict to break out with the others. Odysseus proposed a plan: mutually assured destruction. All the suitors had to swear an oath to protect the marriage of Helen and the winner. In payment for his scheme, Odysseus wants to get with Penelope, who he was more interested in. (basically this whole thing is his fault lol)

Years later, Helen is kidnapped by Paris. Odysseus is honour-bound to go and get her back, but he and Penelope have a good thing going and he didn’t want to go to a war he has no cards in. Plus, the oracle told him it would take 20 years to get back.

Odysseus pretends to be insane to dodge the draft: he sows the fields with salt and plows it with a plow pulled by an ox and a horse. Palamedes, who was sent to retrieve Odysseus, was suspicious and tested his madness by throwing Telemachus, Odysseus’ infant son, in the way of the plow. Odysseus immediately halted the plow to avoid killing his baby, therefore giving away his cover.

Odysseus is furious and vows to destroy Palamedes, which he later succeeds in: here

Side note: Odysseus is so petty that after he was forcibly recruited, he recruits the unwilling Achilles through similar methods of trickery, just to be a dick I guess.
