i love the part of sophocles' ajax where odysseus very carefully, very diplomatically debates agamemnon, trying to convince him that ajax deserves a proper burial
some of my favourite lines:
AGAMEMNON: Odysseus, are you for me or are you against me, and for this man? ODYSSEUS: I hated him when it was honourable to hate him.
!!
ODYSSEUS: He was my enemy, but he was also noble. AGAMEMNON: And you have respect for an enemy's corpse? ODYSSEUS: I am moved by admiration for his greatness, rather than by hatred for his smallness. AGAMEMNON: He was a man of many turns. ODYSSEUS: Many of our friends later become enemies. AGAMEMNON: But do you wish to praise these so-called friends? ODYSSEUS: I do not see friends and enemies as mutually exclusive.
and the finishing blow:
AGAMEMNON: I see now that every man works for himself. ODYSSEUS: Who else should a man work for?

“can anyone hear me” and “its so dark in here” and “who said that” have got to be some of my fav things to say on a post because it brings to mind being locked in a room or lost in a cave, probably because of what youve said. not being called out in desperation, but in much calmer yet still resigned-to-your-fate way. in the case of “who said that” you’re saying something out the side of your mouth or under your breath, sometimes just fully out loud, then feigning bewilderment to whip around and look behind you. Sometimes in this case you’re in a vast and empty wheat field with no audience anyway. In all cases you’re definitely some sort of madman or loon or otherwise totally bonkers. just a glimpse into how my Posting Interpretation is.

They should clone wikipedia and have a blatant disclaimer at the top that it’s not being maintained for accuracy so all the gremlins who get off to wikipedia vandalism can fuck around there and keep it contained in that little sandbox to mutate and fester like a box of cannibal rats in a nuclear reactor.

I lowkey want a fic where Palpatine gets exposed because he’s in a bad mood, not paying much attention, and accidentally answers a holocom from somebody looking for the Supreme Chancellor as Darth Sidious. Example: *Separatists have just suffered a major defeat and everyone in the CIS keeps calling him for advice* *incoming call* Sidious: “Tyrannus if you cannot resolve this situation on your own then perhaps you are not worthy to be my Apprentice!” “…Master Yoda, this is.”
