The people who keep voting against me getting free healthcare are getting the kickbacks from these ridiculous medication prices. 😁

Nolan is decidedly an artist who has an appreciation for and respect for cinema and the craft of film making, and he has a love for making films that are supposed to be strange, dreamlike, even nonlinear. which is hindered by the fact that he, strangely, seems completely uncreative and artistically bland.

[what-even-is-thiss]

I’ve been thinking on it a bit further and I think that the reason that Nolan’s odyssey has the problems that it does is that it’s afraid to be seen as unserious for even one second.

Like they could’ve and in my opinion should’ve had Zendaya as Athena descend from the heavens in full battle armor but they didn’t. It would’ve been accurate to the original text.

We can’t have anything look rediculous in this movie though I guess. Can’t have a cyclops thinking that a guy is named Nobody. Can’t have a drugged up island of silly lotus eaters that Odysseus has to physically drag his men away from.

Anyways I did mostly enjoy this movie I swear but I wish they’d gotten silly with it even just once.

As both a science and English nerd, I love the idea that since Eridians are co-sexed (am I using that term right? Let me know), they don’t have pronouns indicative of sex or gender but rather state of relation. Like how Rocky says, “friend Grace”, he is stating the relation of the subject to him. And taking it further, pronouns of possession, like Rocky talking to another Eridian would refer to Adrian as, “my Adrian”, and the other Eridian would refer to Adrian as “your Adrian” throughout the conversation. Because the state of relation is that Adrian and Rocky are mates. And that shifts based on who’s in the conversation when the state of relation to who is present changes. Say Rocky isn’t there. Same Eridian, who works with Adrian, talking to another Eridian who works with Adrian. Now it’s, “coworker Adrian” or “<job> Adrian”. Same Eridian talking to another Eridian who doesn’t know Adrian at all, and now it’s dependent on the context of the conversation. It could be, “Rocky’s Adrian” or “coworker Adrian”. If two states share the individual equally, you get “our Rocky” for Adrian speaking to Grace.

Now that we have discussed this: I would like you to imagine the first time after Rocky left for Tau Ceti that somebody has the gall to speak of Adrian and Not refer to them as “Rocky’s Adrian” when the context would make that the appropriate way to refer to them. Implying they’re available now.

I would now like you to imagine Adrien crushing them into a smoldering gritty smear on the ground.

Black ppl deserve to feel safe and welcomed on the internet, on fandoms on whatever community or hobbies they want without having to deal with antiblack racist attacks, microaggressions or enablers of antiblackness . And if u genuinely consider urself to be left leaning or an ally or woke you should do and try to unlearn the colorism, texturism , eurocentrism and antiblackness

Even folks on the pro-porn side of the aisle often talk like it's the presence of narrative that makes porn an art form, as though the erotic needs to be explicitly justified in order to elevate it from the mere mechanical production of arousal, and it always makes me feel like maybe we're not quite as "pro" as we think we are.

[prokopetz]

I once saw a video of a woman staring expressionlessly into the camera while jerking off a strap-on the size of her own forearm and wearing panda themed one-piece pajamas complete with little bear ears on the hood, and I feel like it would have been lessened as art if it had attempted to explain itself.

[obscuresymbolism]

I just feel like we're not talking enough about the pro-labor, pro-union, themes in Hadestown. My boy Orpheus is literally wearing a red bandana. He said you simply have to stand up, together, even when it's terrifying and you have never done it before. There are more of us than them. Even if it seems impossible we have hope, because we are standing in solidarity. You can only make demands of gods if you have your union behind you. And then you realise they aren't gods, and you can bargain.

It's called the Global Justice Report, it is here. This is an actionable plan which can be sent to legislators and demanded of political parties. We could save the world within our lifetimes.

It has always been possible. It is still possible.

more satyr facts I made up:

Satyrs are resistant to snake bite poison.

Satyrs can eat almost anything without experiencing ill effects. Including glue, aluminum cans, lead and 12 bottles of 5 hour energy in one sitting.

Satyrs can actually live indefinitely in theory like lobsters. They usually die young because they love taking unnecessarily risks and doing dumb things.

A satyr growing into old age means he is exceptionally wise or just too lazy to do anything too wild.

Satyrs are fairly good swimmers.

Like goats, satyrs are born knowing how to walk. This is part of the reason satyr childhood mortality is so high. They just run away as fast as their little hooves can take them.

Satyrs are easily bribed with wine. It’s like a Scooby snack for them.

Adult satyrs range in height from 4’ to 7’. There is a lot of genetic diversity within them.

Some satyrs have the gene that fainting goats have that makes them pass out when frightened. The only way to tell is to frighten them. However, if you startle a group of satyrs without the gene, they will just be like “What the fuck dude?” and avoid you forever because it wasn’t a very nice thing to do.

Some satyrs do not have horns in a cruel twist of fate. They’re usually very insecure about it so don’t mention it.

Satyrs are very bad at strategy games. They’re very bad at strategizing at general.

Not lovers or friends but a secret third thing (they play Catan together and Stratt pretends she's not preparing Grace for a one way trip to space)

The older i get the more i understand why some people become obsessed with privacy, not because they’re hiding something, but because being constantly perceived starts to feel spiritually exhausting.

Did you know that soda machines at restaurants and movie theaters spy on you? That most common new cars now record your sexual preferences and send it to the manufacturer (and also data about anyone who also gets in your car, walks by your car, and maybe happens to be within visual range of your car)? That grocery stores are trying to force customers to download an app to scan barcodes on shelves instead of putting up prices, so the app can scan the phone, decide how much that customer should be squeezed for, and adjust the price? That more and more innocent people are being sent to jail for crimes committed hundreds of miles away because an AI facial recognition algorithm spit their faces out and the cops didn't bother to do the most basic of checks?

I am not uptight about privacy because I'm hiding something. I'm uptight about it because the people who dismiss my right to privacy are dangerous to you and me and our families, personally, all the time.

And often, they are assholes, too.

watched the hadestown proshot yesterday and. songbird vs. rattlesnake and flowers have always both held a shit ton of sexual abuse undertones but god you could really see it in the proshot. the fact that hades tells persephone that if she "doesn't want my love, I'll give it someone else who does" then immediately turns to Eurydice as he continues. the expression of fear on persephone's face. the fact that eurydice is so terrified yet just a bit entranced by him, but also needs what he has. orpheus jumping between eurydice and hades during way down hadestown-- which feels funny at first because it's itty bitty orpheus trying his best to protect her from Hades-- and then not being able to keep her from him, anyways. it makes me think of how people stay in abusive relationships because they can't financially support themselves or because it's all they know, because it's safer than doing what you truly love, and they can't afford to be unsafe. it's bad for her, and she hates it, but she needs to survive so bad that she can't say no.

The new Odyssey adaptation has inevitably gotten people talking about a Muppet version of it, and they’re frequently suggesting Kermit as Odysseus, Miss Piggy as Penelope.

I’m sorry but that’s thinking way too small, hear me out:

We need to have Miss Piggy as Odysseus, and Kermit as Penelope.

Think about it… who’s the more fickle, prideful, warlike one in that relationship? Who is absolutely ready to go ham, at a moment’s notice?

It ain’t Kermit

[anyroads]

Miss Piggy tied to the mast while Statler and Waldorf heckle her from the sea

[mindovermuses]

But who is the single human cast member in this tale? Who gets to put in an Oscar-worthy performance alongside the Muppets and what role are they to play?

[muffinflarp69]

There’s no single human, everyone is a Muppet except for one scene. Circe, played by Janice, turns Odysseus’s crew into humans who still behave animalistic and are all played by Academy Award winning actors.

i really thought the point of "being lgbt+ doesn't absolve you of racism as a white person" was that white people arent absolved of racism by being marginalized but it really seems like people think other marginalizations make it okay. no being disabled doesn't do it. no being poor doesnt do it. we need to fight against racism actively no matter what.

[bisexual-tribble]

the musical STARTS with hades looking back btw. “you’re early” “i missed you” is hades looking back. is anybody listening. orpheus is told he can’t look back because hades knows he will because hades can’t stop himself from looking back. and that’s why the world is out of tune.
