listen it's not that I think epic the musical is a perfect adaption of the odyssey but it was an impressive passion project that knew what it wanted to be and knew what people gravitated to in the original work and it put significant effort into conveying this through its unique medium and tone to the point that hundreds of other people felt compelled to put effort into their own artistic interpretations of that version of the story. and that's really cool! and yes I would be more critical if it was a 100 million dollar project made by a professional because what the fuck do you mean you're a world-famous director and you cut the my name is nobody scene are you goddamn serious

The “nobody” scene in the odyssey is absolutely not just a clever pun—it’s a character defining moment for Odysseus because he refuses to be nobody. He devised an incredible plan that worked and he could have saved his men and returned home much sooner but he just had to yell to the cyclops that he isn’t nobody—he’s Odysseus, king of Ithaca so now Poseidon knows who to curse which severely fucks up the rest of the journey.

The “nobody” scene highlights both Odysseus’s cleverness but also his arrogance and those two traits define Odysseus throughout the entire story. It’s a foundational aspect of Odysseus’s character and cutting the scene displays a shocking level of ignorance and disregard for the themes in the source material.

"the ingredients are gluten free" do not fucking say this to me. if the food as served will make me sick, it is not gluten free. do not label it on the menu as gluten free.

[strictlyquadrilateral]

"this food is poison free, we just dip it in the poison vat before serving it!"

[strictlyquadrilateral]

literally i think non-celiacs need to start mentally substituting "gluten" with "poison" when they go over whether something is gluten free. would you say something is non-poisonous if you dipped it in a vat of poison? no. but if you put something in a vat contaminated with gluten then people think that's just fine and you can call it gluten free.

Once, my mom asked if something was gluten-free, and the waitress goes, I shit you not, "it's gluten friendly. We can't guarantee it has no gluten but it prevents people from suing."

Have you considered... trying to actually be gluten free instead of just trying to stop people from suing you when they get incredibly sick?

[strictlyquadrilateral]

i hate the term gluten friendly but oh my god, no one's ever come out and said it flat out to me like that before. they're literally admitting they think you're going to get sick and try to sue them? if i got glutened at a restaurant that i GENUINELY believed was doing everything they could to be as safe as possible i probably wouldn't even think about suing them. it's when i feel unsafe whether i get glutened or not that i start thinking lawsuit-shaped thoughts in the first place. and "gluten friendly" is a great way to make me feel unsafe.

I often wonder who is actually ordering this shit. Like, it has to be somebody for them to put it on the menu right? Is it people with GF restrictions and they’re just happily poisoning people who don’t ask follow up questions? Who else would pay the extra for “gluten friendly” items?

… are they just getting clout with other customers by looking inclusive?
