It is I, Scoopac

I have no clue what I am doing, I do like Greek mythology though He/They

[scoopac]

I should actually introduce myself! I think it's time people are allowed to perceive me haha

I am Noah/Scoopac but I often get called scoop or soup aswell!!! Pronouns are he/him, though I also don't mind they/them, if anyone is funky enough!

I am mostly posting my thoughts on the Iliad/Odyssey and other ancient greek literature and plays, I have many thoughts, though sometimes the bible slips in and I apologise in advance! you can always block the "scoop religious rambles" tag, if it makes you uncomfortable!

Sometimes I write

English isn't my first language! :D

So yes, hello, I am introduced, I will be perceived, wonderful

[nikoisme]

the anon who's sent me asks about hector and arthur got to me. so now i am thinking about the last line of the iliad "such were the funeral rites of hector, tamer of horses" and charles burying arthur (high honor). how they buried hector breaker of horses, and not hector of the shining helm. they buried a son, brother, a husband, a father, a friend — not a prince or a soldier (the choice of the epithet accentuating that personal, intimate aspect of hector).

that, and how the characters think fondly of arthur after his death. especially the characters from the stranger missions! how they think of him outside his loyalty and service to the gang ("whenever we happen to meet, you’re always helping people and smiling"/"perhaps you could help somebody? helping makes you really happy")

my thoughts aren't coherent enough rn but OUGHH

[nikoisme]

HOLD ON WHERE'S AN ILIAD BY LISA PETERSON AND DENIS O'HARE

[nikoisme]

do you think arthur would rather be taming horses

[nikoisme]

how can i live laugh love when "i have a son at home and a daughter in heaven"

[scoopac]

ARTISTS!!!

Who can I pay to draw me my (definitely not) newest obsession? I am genuinely chewing on the iron bars of my enclosure, I am genuinely willing to pay

It's Basim Ibn Ishaq, but specifically the wet cat energy he has in Mirage, you could throw him at a wall and he'd probably stick ngl

I've been lurking too long, I need more of him :(

[scoopac]

There's two wolves inside of me

one feels embarrassed having like the 5th return post, the other is screaming into a pillow because I'm so excited to know my wormies still care and are still around oh I love people

Wolf two won

Besides!!! I've been hopping fandoms a LOT (Like, I love Odysseus, that mf, but I am also now obsessed with Assassin's creed - specifically Mirage oh god I love that guy, he's so mean) I am trying to keep myself somewhat alive in my job aswell, I accidentally became important and now it's taking up all my week (AND SATURDAYS)

But I am glad Tumblr is so unchanging, so familiar. I love returning to it, to see things as they were, just slightly changed. Maybe that is how Odysseus felt coming back to Ithaca - everything remained steady, yet moved on regardless. An erie kind of familiarity. I can get used to it again.

The lack of Agamemnon & Menelaus written things is CRIMINAL

sure, it got better, there's now 24 works, but I've deemed at least 5 of them unreadable and only like 3 actually captured me insanely good

I'm missing the nuisance, the 'I would do anything for my brother, even sacrifice my family ', the PAIN, the opposing personalities, the having eachothers back despite it all

[scoopac]

Thinking about how tragic Agamemnon and the House of Atreus actually are again

[scoopac]

HI SCOOP OMG HOWS IT GOING

DOING GREAT!! JUST SURVIVED CHRISTMAS SHIFTS IN RETAIL, NOE I CAN LIVE AGAIN!! I HOPE YOU'RE WELL TOO!! :D

[scoopac]

SCOOP OH MY HELLO!! I MISSED YOU

IRO!!!! :D HELLO TO YOU TOO, SO GLAD TO SEE YOU!! I HOPE YOU'RE WELL!! :D

[scoopac]

TF YOU MEAN THE TREE BED IS MENTIONED???? SOBBING, ACTUALLY, THATS MY FAVOURITE PART, OH MY GOD THE OLVIE TREE BED I'M ON MY KNEES

[scoopac]

SCOOP HIIIIIII !! :D

NIKO!!!!! IM BACK!!!! YIPPIE!!! GLAD TO BE BACK AND GLAD TO SEE YOU ASWELL!!!

[nikoisme]

I'm going to imagine that odysseus keeps inching away from penelope during would you fall in love with me again. She tries to reach out to touch him but each time he steps away and he looks so torn. like each step physically pains him

[scoopac]

NIKO FIRSTLY I MISSED YOU, I HOPE YOU SURVIVED THE SAGA!!

on the other note, OUCH, suffering, crying, still banger takes but OH SO PAINFUL, sobbing actually

[scoopac]

IS THE CROWD STILL LIVING AFTER THE ITHACA SAGA?

[reddeadedits]

Posting because I'm going insane holy fuck

Anyway, I need some friends/mutuals who are knee deep onto rdr/Rdr2 as I am

I'm 18 and I am looking for others to be 18+ aswell, for all of our comforts!

I'd also very much enjoy meeting other writers/rp's for that fandom, I've been in a writing draught and would LOVE to get back to the RP scene :D

Also don't be weird, basic dni criteria and no weird ass ships!

Just pop me a DM and we'll be off!

[scoopac]

Also bringing this to main, I've been consumed by brainrot, I'll return to my greek usual program shortly

[scoopac]

Anyway I'm back on my bullshit!

You guys I'm absolutely insane about the 1997 Odyssey two parter, like sure they made some choices (and has the funniest Poseidon) (Every bit of CGI in there is a little bit funny) But!!

Alone the way he looks at Telemachus makes me forget anything bad happened in this movie

That's a man that wants to stay home!! He doesn't know about the impending doom that awaits him!! He doesn't know within moments of this people WILL drag him away, he doesn't know his family will suffer Endlessly yet!!

And he's SO done by the end

He's a man with a drive to go home, but he is reminded endlessly that he's just that - one man.

The pain in his eyes when Telemachus doesn't recognise him (WITHOUT DISGUISE!!) Heartbreaking, sobbing loudly. His only son, holding a weapon towards him and there is nothing he can do about it.

Or the little hold he has on Telemachus after all the bloodshed, the quiet "Tell your mother I'm home" Kills me EVERY TIME

He's home, he's made it home and he'll never leave again

[scoopac]

Here, the Proof for the absolute hilarious yet genius Poseidon

Hey, Scoop! I miss you :')

How are you doing?

I offer meow meow

IRO!!!

I think about all of you so so much!!! I care about you!!

Currently things have just been really chaotic! I've mostly been hanging around in different fandoms (Odysseus my meow meow I'll never leave you I swear) and I've been spending tons of time outside with friends!

Hoping I get the motivation to be absolutely gut wrenching about my favourite greek guys soon enough :) I hope you're well Iro!!! I hope all of the wormlings are!!

I love you guys :)
