watched The Odyssey (2026) and i have to admit, in an otherwise very serious scene, i was fucking cackling when the gates of Troy opened and Agamemnon was just fucking stood there aurafarming like Darth Vader

Phm from Adrian's perspective is just what if you were Penelope and Odysseus came home but he also brought a jellyfish and keeps begging you to build a fish tank for the jellyfish and make jellyfish food for the jellyfish and youre an ancient Greek whos never seen a jellyfish and you cant even comprehend how your going to do it but youre going to because if you dont Odysseus may kill himself. And also the jellyfish can do like. Witchcraft.

if christopher nolan was really the visionary and ground-breaking director everyone claims he is he would have cast ben affleck as penelope

sometimes a fic can just be about the age old question 'how emotionally bad for everyone involved can a threesome be when they all did in fact agree to be there'

thinking abt grace becoming fluent in eridian. thinking about eridian as an information-dense and layered language. thinking about the ability to create new words out of layered sounds and the way you can quickly describe a complicated relationship in eridian. grace practicing on his organ for speaking eridian, sounding out the tones for boss/leader and friend/companion and murderer until they blend into a single word.

and that’s how eva stratt gets her eridian name, which she will never know.

Imagine Eva Stratt years after sending her favorite guy to boss around to space. Getting the logs and recordings and finding out that her guy made first contact with sapient alien life and it IMMEDIATELY started bossing him around too. Like what if you surrendered your dog and it got adopted by an alien instantly. Happened to my girl Eva Stratt

i love the phrase "cruel and unusual." not only is what you're doing mean but it's also quite frankly fucking bizarre

as someone who is lowkey obsessed with how the odyssey is structured i find this diagram by james redfield very satisfying:

"[A pattern] based on strict alternation. Odysseus faces two kinds of dangers; he may be killed before he gets home, or he may be induced to stop on the way. He faces violence and temptation." (from Redfield's 'The Economic Man')

these are Bakker's diagram's from the meaning of meat and the structure of the odyssey, which do include calypso in the symmetry! the cicones are missing though, and scylla and charybdis have been separated (rightfully so if you ask me).
