I cannot get over the fact that gilgamesh succeeded in his goal of immortality, bitch you did it!!!! His name IS remembered thousands of years later. He lives in the people who study his story, he lives whenever people see a fragment of the his poem, he lives in the people who write smutty gay fanfiction about him. The oldest known story in the world is about the desire to live on through memory and the fact that we remember it now will never fail to make me deeply sick to my stomach in a good way

and if i said nolan's odyssey starring no greek actors and with no recognizable aspects of greek culture or involvement by greeks, is the direct legacy of white supremacist colonialism that treated ancient greece as not just the pinnacle of ancient culture, but of an artificially created "european" culture, which white western europeans and their settler descendants, as the new pinnacle of culture, were the sole spiritual inheritors of.

henry winter keeping vhs tapes of bunny after his death; the ones shot on campus by student reporters; somehow bunny was always in the background of the leading man of them. he replays them over and over when he’s feeling particularly isolated and realizes he took away the only thing that truly knew him

"Now Gilgamesh got up to tell his dream to his mother, Ninsun, one of the wise gods. "Mother, last night I had a dream, I was full of joy... a meteor of the stuff of Anu, fell down from heaven. I tried to lift it but it proved to heavy...to me its attraction was like the love of a woman..."

Then Ninsun, who is well-beloved and wise, said to Gilgamesh, "This star of heaven which descended like a meteor from the sky....I made it for you....This is the strong comrade, the one who brings help to his friend in need. He is the strongest of wild creatures...when you see him you will be glad; you will love him as a woman and he will never forsake you. This is the meaning of the dream." "

- The Epic of Gilgamesh, Translated by N.K. Sandars.

i do find the rules around clothes fascinating because of how made up it all is. we invented the idea of covering our bodies from the elements because we lack fur like other mammals and then made up all these rules around it and now people will unironically tell you "men cant wear skirts its unnatural" girl none of this is natural. we are born naked and made up the rest as we went along. hope this helps.

i love learning things. its so insane that you can just look up stuff on the internet and find information about things in this world. learn about whatever you want and suddenly thats information in your brain. and then you know it.

The popularity of the "incompetent stupid piece of shit husband and competent wife who loves him anyways" trope in media is a psyop to make women believe its normal to settle for an incompetent stupid piece of shit husband
