Last song: Dance Macabre by Ghost

Currently watching: Subscribed to the NT at home and saw an adaptation of The Seagull with Emilia Clarke in it. Feel slightly unwell about it. Safe to say it will stay with me for a long time

also, need to see more adaptations soon, so if anyone has them? 👉👈

Current obsession: The Odyssey kick (still debating whether I should see the movie or not). Also started playing Pentiment and it's so good.

Currently reading: staying true to my fiction + non-fiction at one time to switch between: re-reading Virginia Woolf's Mrs. Dalloway (a beloved favourite of mine) & Robert Darnton's The Writer's Lot

Currently working on: my future? Maybe? Vagueposting as ever but wish me luck please <3

Last Google search: Disregarding the weather forecast, I looked up wedding cards ideas for my friend's wedding

[sherdnerd]

Thanks for tagging @enlitment ! Love that you’re playing Pentiment, such a fun game! Still obsessed with that bit from near the beginning where they’re tall about the Aeneid

Now let’s see if I can come up with enough people to tag… @tunathena @thedoctorknits @sparrowsarecool @unlike-starlike @spookapuca @lavendulafaerie @gayrogue and whoever’s fancy it may take

Last song: because I recently rewatched the second episode of modern doctor who, I’ve had the song from this scene on repeat

Currently watching: I’m actually between shows at the moment, I recently caught up on For All Mankind (an alt-history sci fi from one of the writers of Deep Space Nine that I highly recommend. It’s about if the space race kept going at the same pace after the moon landing) and finished my rewatch of Peter Capaldi’s final season of Doctor Who. I’ll probably watch Star City (the For All Mankind spinoff)

Current Obsession: I suppose I’m still going on the space kick I went on after the Artemis II mission. As a result I’ve been playing a shit ton of Kerbal Space Program. I have a moon base now. And a space station orbiting the moon.

Also the year of the 6 emperors. I can’t stop thinking about Gordian and Gordian and Gordian.

Currently working on: My thesis! It’s a lot of work and very stressful but hopefully it’ll turn out good. Then I can go back to working on fanfics. Ideally I want to get some friends together and write a series of Star Trek fics as though it were a series of the show.

Last google search: The Odyssey showtimes [city] Wednesday. My mum and sister are visiting so we’re going to get dinner and see the movie. I expect to be nit-picky, particularly about the cyclops encounter

Last song: With Cat-Like Tread from the Pirates of Penzance for Gilbert and Sullivan summer!! I got a CD earlier in the summer and now im really getting into it. comic opera here i come!

Currently watching: I don't really watch shows and i havent watched any tv for ages but i guess im poirot-ing on and off lately... havent watched any for a week and cant for another 2 as I am on my holibobs but thats the closest possible answer.

Current Obsession: MY POIROT more specifically MY HASTINGS!! perpetually rotating him in my mind <333

Currently Watching: A Witch in Mongolia! I’ve been behind on it though I need to catch up….truly so beautiful

Current Obsession: tbh I’m not rly sure if i have anything that can be called obsession rn my mind’s too preoccupied with everything going on irl and nothing has rly tickled my brain in that way for a while🤔

Currently working on: Packing! Also been reviewing my Japanese lessons and slowly working on my Sumerian. Also some trinkets to give to old coworkers!

Last Google search: “English to Chinese”. was reading Murder on the Links yesterday and there was some phrase that I didn’t understand lol. I do this very often it usually clicks better when it’s in Chinese #mybrokenenglish

[an-ruraiocht]

the iliad, the odyssey, and the aeneid

the iliad and the odyssey, not the aeneid

the iliad only

the odyssey only

the aeneid only

the aeneid and the iliad, not the odyssey

the aeneid and the odyssey, not the iliad

I have read none of these

Remaining time: 2 days 48 minutes

"what if I've read part of it" if it's a large enough part that you would consider yourself to Have Read It in general contexts, then it counts. if it's not, then it doesn't. only you can be the judge of that, but I'm not giving you a nuance button.

any translations count, but abridged retellings don't

obviously, there are lots of other classical texts out there. you might have read none of these and be an expert on greek tragedy. I'm not judging your classical knowledge so you don't need to tell me all that. I'm just curious about combos of these specific texts and their popularity, bc a post i just saw got me thinking about it
