Sometimes if you sit contemplatively in front of a Rubens for an hour everything will begin to make sense somehow

@TheyThemItalian Reading The Ones Who Walk Away from Omelas and stopping right before Le Guin tells you about the basement

@shotagriffith I had a nightmare about this

@apocalypsetwink absolutely I love talking to berserk fans 🫶

The ai that my fic is being fed to is apparently appreciative of my writing. I can’t say that I’m not a little flattered that I stand out in its entire request history

@MDominatus @leftwick20 True, I was being facetious. I’d probably go for Hesiod. In any case the concept of a Greek mythology nerd that has never read Ovid is slightly absurd

[dee @deearlybel0ved]

@MDominatus @leftwick20 Well since it’s all made up it’s probably ok

@promqyeen It’s often these same people that would try to have you believe that Guts and Casca are one of the pinnacles of chivalric romance in animanga, as if Guts isn’t the antithesis of a chivalric hero, lol

Holy shit maybe I can write I just need stimulants and St Augustine’s City of God on a different tab

Sorry, folks. You can’t fully grasp the Odyssey by seeing a film version! You also can’t comprehend it by reading it in a book. You have to hear it sung by a bard in dactylic hexameter while in such an ecstatic state of drunkenness, you channel the Muse and add your own lines.

@thhouseofblack What got me was when he told Penelope about Agamemnon sacrificing Iphigenia. Brother you brought her to him😭🙏

The concept of Odysseus feeling guilty about sacking Troy keeps cracking me up.

It is a pretty movie, Mr. Nolan, but you must not call it Homer

Thinking about the close readings I fumbled 😞
