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 😭
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

Different beast
. "Let's cut the charades, you are no wife of mine" tfff
. Packs??
. SIRENS!!
. OF COURSE HE'S NOT SCARED OF WATER
. God why did I think he had a daughter
. And how did they do that?? Just casually kill a bunch of sirens
. Just tell your whole life story then
. And plan?? ODYSSEUS HAVE YOU LEARNED NOTHING
. Damnnn okay he did NOT come to play
. Who's voicing the sirens? Heavenly voices
. Woah Odysseus
. Different beast indeed
. "Kill them all" I mean, fair enough 🤷♀️
Scylla
. "This is our only way home"
. Ooo the line we heard
. Eurylochous knowsss
. HE OPENED THE WIND BAGGGG
. EURYLOCHUS SORRY IS NOT ENOUGH
. "Full speed ahead"
. Odyssey respond now please, I'm getting nervous
. "Light up 6 torches" um, whyyy (I know the Odyssey and... oh god, I'm worried)
. "Hello."
. The instrumental?? Animatics are about to go crazyyy
. "ROW FOR YOUR LIVES"
. "DROWN IN YOUR SORROW AND TEARS"

. The worst part is Odysseus doesnt consider for a singular second that he should choose his crew
. All bangers but at what cost
. AT WHAT COST

I truly can't explain it but something about Percy & Poseidon's dynamic truly breaks me. Much more than Annabeth's relationship with Athena or Nico's with Hades. I can't explain it. I just think it's written so well.
Iike Poseidon is by no means a good father, but he clearly loves Percy. Every time he interacts with Percy, you can feel how much he wants to be there for Percy and the fact he can't makes me actually nauseous.
AND DON'T GET ME STARTED ON HIM BEING POSEIDON'S "favourite son" [DIRECT QUOTE 😭]
Or the fact he visited Percy when Percy was a baby even though he never should've for both their sakes *slams head repeatedly into knife*.
Pictures in my camera roll that remind me of the song 'sun bleached flies'

I fear the ttpd set might be my favourite on the tour, just about surpassing midnights <3
Ithaca saga ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
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.
EPIC MY LOVE I'LL MISS THESE 😔😔🥰
percy’s view of himself: i’m so stupid and ugly and useless. i’m such a lame demigod
literally everyone else’s view of percy:
[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.
