Epic the Musical fans: Yay Odysseus remains loyal to Penelope and doesn't sleep with Circe!
Also Epic the Musical fans: ship Odysseus with almost every other character
And that, ladies and gentlemen is called Fandom Paradox 🤣🤣🤣
Mythology readers: Yeah all characters have done terrible crimes
Also Mythology readers: defend to the death the character that drew their attention
And that, ladies and gentlemen is called Classic Paradox 🤣🤣🤣
Okay so a lot of people write Arthur as being emotional constipated in a way that strongly implies that his emotional intelligence is close to a box of wet and soggy bread’s ability to read and understand feelings. And that’s valid! With mister troll shagger as a father, I get that it would be a likely outcome of his childhood. BUT what I love much more (and I’m not projecting at all, shush!) is Arthur knowing damn well what he feels but never truly feeling safe in any of his core emotions, because he has had to suppress them since he was a child. That he feels guilty and uncomfortable when he enjoys something. That he hides what he likes in fear of somebody using it to hurt him, and that he hides what he dislikes in fear of somebody using it to hurt him.
:-P
Couldn’t you have chosen something a bit easier?
Bilbo: Oh go fuck yourself! Thorin: I'd rather fuck you, please! Bilbo, now confused: W-What ?! Kíli, from the other side of the room: HE SAID HE'D RATHER FUCK YOU! Fíli, next to Kíli: HE SAID PLEASE TOO!
Y’all are too hard on Éowyn for marrying Faramir as if having a husband will somehow strip her of her individuality.
Have y’all MET Faramir? This is NOT a guy who saw the attractive Princess of Rohan from afar and was like “I want her to be my ball and chain.”
This is the guy who fell in love with her while she was at her lowest, physically and mentally. He fell in love with her when she was beaten, exhausted, weary, wounded, grieving, and depressed. He fell in love with her when he found out what she did on that battlefield. He fell in love with a kindred spirit, the only person who could truly understand him and his own sufferings. He saw her for exactly who she was - someone strong and brave and bold and unconventional and independent - and that is what he loves about her. When he says “you are beautiful,” he is speaking to her soul too, and not just her face.
As her husband, he will only dote on her and seek her opinions on everything. He already treats her as an equal and cultivates her true self; who says he’ll suddenly stop doing that when they’re married? He would rather die than suppress or hold back the powerful mind and spirit that he fell in love with in the Houses of Healing!
If he was like most other men, would she have married him? Heck no! She has standards, and he meets them.
She married the only guy who would ever let her be herself. This girl got it right. She did not settle, and her being with him does not take anything away from her.
I've got loads of Merlin doodles just sitting so I might start uploading them as they are.
