Calypso discourse pmo because why are we not using this character to talk about the devastating effects of long-term isolation??

What she did was obviously bad and Ody probably spent the rest of his life recovering, Calypso is easily a villain/antagonist

She also spent 100 years alone after (and according to some sources was cursed to fall in love with every mortal that landed on the island but fact check me on that), which has GOT to do something fucked up to someone's psyche

I don't even like Calypso that much but everything I see her compared to Antinuous my blood boils because no???? they're both bad but that's still not the same

Not a Calypso apologist btw I just sympathize, it's really no wonder she lacks emotional maturity/intelligence, she hasn't spoken to anyone in a century my goodness

When are we going to realize that Greek Mythos is not black and white 😭

Yo my 17 year old ass did NOT have the language to express the distress I felt at the different standards we hold evil men versus evil women to. I was trying to say that The Fandom is much kinder to the man than the woman ALWAYS

After years of living in the adulting world, I think I’ve come to a realization: Manners exist to guide you to good conduct even when you’re in a bad mood.

When you’re happy, when you’re feeling generous, when you’re pleased with your gift or your service or your outcome, it’s easy to be nice. It’s easy to tip the waiter well when you’ve had a good day. It’s easy to thank the teller or the clerk when you got what you wanted out of the transaction. It’s easy to smile and chit-chat with strangers on the road when you’re in a good mood.

It’s hard to tip the waiter when you didn’t enjoy your food. It’s hard to thank the clerk for their time when you’ve just been told there’s a problem with their account and they weren’t able to fix it for you. It’s hard to think of something nice to say when your aunt gave you a crappy sweater you neither need nor want. It’s hard to be nice to people when you’ve had a shitty day. It’s HARD.

That’s what manners are for. Scripts and phrases that you learn by rote to say when you can’t think of a single nice or good thing to say from your own volition. Yes, they’re scripted. Yes, the sentiment is empty. But the scripts work in every situation, and the emptiness provides a buffer between your own unhappiness and the rest of society. The fact that they are empty means that they are not heavy to carry.

Because most of the time, it’s not the waiter’s fault that the food you ordered wasn’t what you expected. It’s not the clerk’s fault that your account is overdrawn. It’s not the fault of the barista or the stranger on the subway that you got fired today or your favorite aunt died. But even when you can’t summon a smile or a cheery word, you can still have manners, because they will serve you the same in sunshine or rain.

Simping for a man in a way that would have Jane Eyre frowning at me

I will think forever about the Creature as a physical, living manifestation of Victor's responsibilities. His inability to commit: he neglects to write to his family, he neglects to attend classes, he drops out to construct the conclusion to his morbid obsession with the transition betwixt life and death, and he will neglect that too.

Life, although it may only be an accumulation of anguish, is dear to me, and I will defend it.
