idk what tumblrina or twitter warrior needs to hear this but youre not special for liking taylor swift
[at Achilles's funeral] Agamemnon: *places his hand on the pyre and sobs* Agamemnon: How could you do this to me? We are so understaffed.
It has taken me 6 weeks to read books 8 and 9 of the iliad because I procrastinated so hard
I read book 10, in school, in 20 minutes
Take from that what you will
The good witch appreciation post after her opening for the eras tour (ignore how that was like a week ago shhh π€«)
SUE ME I WANNA BE WANTED
(P.S Sorry your dog died)
(P.S.S Sorry, I'm like your dream bride)
I think one of my favourite parts about the iliad is the gods interacting on Olympus. Obviously I love my lil greek heroes but somehting about the gods just hanging about like normal people is so silly. Like people are dying Zeus why are we having brunch π
Anyways, my history teacher was talking to us about the Treaty of Versailles and to introduce us he asked if any of us were swifties and played 'Don't blame me' by Taylor Swift.
So basically, the best lesson of my life.
Ithaca saga β€οΈβ€οΈβ€οΈβ€οΈβ€οΈβ€οΈβ€οΈβ€οΈ
The challenge
. Poor penelope
. Oh yes the weaving trick
. "I don't know how long much longer I'll last"
. Oh the tempo
. "Time to be the man of the house"
. Changed it slightly?
. "Though I never thought these would be the lengths we go for love"
. WAITING? NOO NOT THIS MOTIF
Hold them down
. Goofy suitors
. "Can't you guys see were being played?"
. The repition of "hold them down" is so good
. Antinous is so deliciously evil
. "Hold him down til the boy stops shaking"
. The animatic is insane, anniflamma never dissapoints
. "Only the ocean and I will know"
. What the fuck
. That is so disturbing
. WOLFY
. ODYSSEUS WAIT ONG
ODYSSEUS
. "Worst of all I hear you dare to touch my wife and hurt my boy"
. Cmon
. BOSS FIGHT
. HE HAS HAD "enough"
. The suitors have such good voices
. Alright batman
. GET THEM
. "old king forgive us"
. Open arms? Mf you tried to rape his wife
. TELEMACHUS MY PRINCE WARRIOR OF THE MIND
. "we don't fight fair"
. "get off me, get off me!"
. Not the callback
. "You filled my heart with hate"
I can't help but wonder
. "Father" so much in that one word
. This line makes me sob without failure
. Jay and mico hug is so sweet
. "Show yourself"
. WHAT ATHENA??
. Oh, that's saddening
. I'm literally crying, TELEY MY BOYY
Would you fall in love with me again
. "Penelope" finally
. "Is it you" so surreal
. "I am not the man you once adored" fuck
. All the differnet artists mixing with the actions it's beautiful
. "And take it far away from here"
. The tree? Lol I know that it's a trick but still
. "Carved it into the olive tree when we first met"
. "So i guess that makes him you"
. Their voices are so incredible
. Waiting, waiting......
The end, fin.
