My sister said (commenting on this one dish): “all I see is cheese”

And I just started screaming singing:

ALL I SEE IS CHEESE

EVERY TIME I DARE TO CLOSE MY EYES

I NO LONGER DREAM

ONLY THAT DAIRY ON MY MIND

Taking a moment to plug my latest fascination! It's called Epic, it tells the story of Odysseus following the sacking of Troy and his quest to return to Ithaca. It's heartbreaking. The way it's been done really hammers in the tragedy if the whole tale.

The Oddessy (the book the musical is based on) starts with Telemachus (Odysseus' son) being visited by Athena and being told his father will return after being away for 20 years but he's trapped. And then it cuts to Odysseus' escape from Calypso's island and he arrives at the palace of a kind who he tells his story to and then you jump back in time to the end of the war and the start of his journey.

Which I like, but, when it follows Odysseus chronologically, you're filled with anxiety, nervousness, hope, sorrow, at each event that happens to him because he's trying his best and the narrative has doomed him. And from there you follow his tumultuous mind.

Also their representation of the gods is amazing, Hermes is a little bisexual creature and I love him

Mario oddessy (2017)

[ionlydatesassyelves]

Okay I do actually wanna give oddessy an honest stab and not just be irrationally offended by something I have zero experience with.

I'm sorta interested in maybe streaming it tomorrow and Saturday? If I can get it set up? But also I fully expect to get overly upset about lore and characters and whatever else I married the mario universe for that I can't find. So I understand if that's not appealing to anybody.

If anybody wants to join for a stream I'll take a stab at setting it up for a bit tomorrow. Otherwise I'll probably live blog here and there but I'll say what tags to blacklist if you dont wanna join up. Thoughts?

The fact that I've seen not one of my oddessy-obsessed people talk about the new oddessy movie does not bode well
