watching @emerald2bro play Nier: Automata and my mouth just uttered the phrase "do you think any androids harbor Oedipal attraction toward their 3D printer"

I just want to remind everyone of the time Oscar Isaac played Oedipus live over Zoom with Frances McDormand and Jeffrey Wright.

I was watching this at work with my headphones in, and it was like just the most surreal experience.

Antigone and Ismene: Dad, are we ugly?

Oedipus: What nonsense. I’m looking at you right now, you’re the most beautiful things in the world.

Eteocles and Polynices: Father, are we ugly?

Oedipus: Very much.

The Tragedy of the Cadmeans

Honestly In My Opinion out all the lineages/bloodlines that Greek mythology have, There is one lineages that I favor out of most for being the most tragic and saddest of them all. The house Of Cadmus (Cadmeans) more specifically The curse of Harmonia necklace

To Pentheus being killed by his own mother Agave while she was in a Drunken frenzy state by his cousin Dionysus.

To Semele getting ingolf by Zeus flames after being told by Hera to do so. To Ino being driven mad by Hera and killing one her kids and jumping off a cliff with the Other.

They all have one thing in common they come from the same family Tree know for being cursed by The Necklace of Harmonia giving to he by Hephaestus during her marriage to Cadmus, And honestly I feel bad for them because don’t deserve to get this much bad luck/misfortune on to them like for example:

Oedipus he didn’t know that he killed his father and marry his mother because he haded adopted parents (Polybus and Merope) and when did found out he blinded his eyes out cause he was in shame of himself.

Over all what im trying to say is that I like the Cadmeans because of I feel sorry I know that sounds obvious I just want to find an excuse to talk about them).

Also they kinda remains me of the What Remains Of Edith Finch family a lot.
