Penny poll Bracket 2 Finals
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Penny Lamb/Jane Doe (Legoland / Ride the Cyclone) vs
Penelope (The Odyssey)
Propaganda under the cut
Penny Lamb/Jane Doe (Legoland / Ride the Cyclone)
• Okay I am not the person to be propaganda making for her but she's so cool she died once and then came back she's also a bit uhh deranged is a good word
• Penny Lamb (and her younger brother Ezra) lived in a hippie weed growing commune until she was thirteen and snuck out to a walmart, eventually leading to the entire thing burning to the ground. Then they lived in a tiny town named Uranium City and she got relentlessly bullied and even set on fire until she was given a cd by another girl from a band called Seven Up. She formed a parasocial relationship with the singer, who then turned into a misogynistic rapper. She travelled from northern Saskatchewan to Florida to meet him and thank him for basically making her life tolerable and enjoyable, and then ended up tearing a chunk of flesh out of his face with her teeth all at the age of 15 years old. Two years later after a concert with her school choir, she was beheaded on a fair rollercoaster called the Cyclone, becoming a Jane Doe until she was voted back to life. While she was Jane Doe, she wore the head of a porcelain doll as to not freak the other kids out!
• she was born a hippie, she bites and maims a famous rapper with hot coffee, she has a little brother obsessed with german philosophy, she plays the ukulele, she has a fuck ass bob. she gets fucking DECAPITATED by a roller coaster but survives because she is so offputting. what else do you need in a woman
• Where do I START with Penny. Basically she grew up socially isolated on a community pot farm until the age of 13, where she and her brother ran away to Walmart and started pretending to revive him from seizures because of how much attention she got. She was eventually driven back home where the entire community was drug busted burned to the ground, their parents being arrested, friends taken away, entire home destroyed. Instead of being sent to foster care, she’s and her brother are sent to a catholic boarding school, where they live mostly unsupervised. Penny is relentlessly bullied for supposedly being a lesbian, and diagnosed as bipolar and manic depressive while her brother (three years younger than her) sells his adhd medication to college kids to make ends meet. Soon after having her backpack lit on fire by bullies, she starts to fall into a deep depressive episode, not coming out of her room for days, until a catholic girl takes pity on her, and gives her a hiphop/boyband CD for her to listen to called 7-up (important later). Penny obsessed on the lead singer Johnny moon to an unhealthy degree until the band breaks up and Johnny rebrands to JK47, a misogynist gangster rapper who penny can’t stand. Penny and her brother run away from middle of knowwhere Canada to Florida to meet him so penny can win him back and remind him of how much she loves him and how cool he used to be. This doesn’t go well, as he doesn’t drop his gangster persona, calling her the same insult all her previous bullies did, leading to her throwing hot coffee on him, tearing a chunk off flesh out of his face with her teeth, and subsequently being arrested and later out on probation. Penny ALSO gets her own movie (in the play) and tells the audience this very story in a presentation with goofy puppets. Penny’s story is funny and absurd but at the same time incredibly tragic and heartbreaking. She also appears in ride the cyclone where she’s revealed to be the identity of Jane Doe (who had her head cut off before she was found dead in the rollercoaster accident with the other choir kids and was therefor never identified)
• she is a femamist lesbian and I am in love with her
• She's known as Jane Doe throughout the musical because she doesn't know who she is in death, her head is a doll's head because she lost her real one in the rollercoaster disaster that killed all the characters, she's the one who wins the prize of coming back from death which is when we learn her true name Penny. Her song is absolutely *beautiful* (The Ballad of Jane Doe) and she is the Penny of all time because I love her
• Girlie already lost her head we can’t take her victory too :(
Penelope (The Odyssey)
• She waited about 20 years for her husband to come home she used her huge brain to keep the suitors away for ages I just think she's neat
• She is LOYAL. She is SMART. She is HARDWORKING. She waited for TWENTY YEARS. Penelope is a QUEEN (literally). PENELOPE SWEEP

Can we consider "Cult of the Lamb" similar to a Greek tragedy, in the way the themes are portrayed?
First of all my English is good but it's not my first language so there may be errors.
Anyway I am studying classic Greek literature and I have an unhealthy obsession with Colt.
While studying I was reading the definition of tragedy by the Greek mentality (which is very different by our own): basically the Greek thought that the tragedy was in how things kinda just happened and that humans could really have answers, because the "ship" that is the Universe isn't controlled by us and nobody tells us the answers. (This is my understanding from the book I have to study, it's in Italian by Guidorizzi "Pietà e Terrore" unfortunately I don't know if there is an English translation for anyone who is interested).
Anyway if we see how things are in Cult of the Lamb things kinda just happen the Lamb never has the full picture they just do (like the protagonist of a tragedy).
The Bishops have a prophecy and their own doings led to their downfall (this includes Narinder) like many other characters in the Greek world.
The bird dude (I don't remember the name) acts as a Deus Ex Machina when he appears to explain he reveals all the treats (like the gods do in Greek theater).
In Greek tragedy there isn't any happy ending, it's the total opposite of an happy ending even when things finish in a "good way" and personally I think that it's the same for the story of our Lamb.
Yes, the Lamb becomes a God but for me (this is my perspective) it isn't the 'best version of the world' (like a Hollywood happy ending): the lambs are still dead, they choose the "kindness " of keeping alive the Bishops and Narinder but mostly to have the repent, he will still need to do horribles acts (like sacrificing Ratau for example) and they will do it for eternity.
The Lamb is far from a hero, he has a grey morality and he chooses to act the way they do.
These are the things I see in common with Greek Tragedy .

Hi Ginny! (@hippiewrites) Thank you for tagging my writeblr (@thesorcerersapprentice) in this super fun Get To Know Me Tag Game! Since this is a more personal set of questions (as opposed to writing-related ones), I'm going to be answering with my main, @philosophika. Hope that's ok! By the way, to my moots: do you like stories influenced by the ancient Greco-Roman world? Do you like - no, love - fantasy? Are you ready to have your mind blown? If the answer is yes, then please go check out Ginny's WIP, Echoes of the Etan!! Ok, ok onto the tag game. The rules are to tag 9 people you want to get to know better. I'm (no pressure) tagging: @inkovert @that-chibi-writer @songsofsomnia @violetboy @outpost51 @aquadestinyswriting @merlina87 @sarah-sandwich @lucianinsanity @winterandwords @d3mon-ology @threeking @avrablake @the-finch-address @thawinoakenshield @the-down-upside-finch @lunarmoment @sodaliteskull @kingkendrick7 @harps-for-days @cee-grice @tate-lin and anyone else who would like to participate!
✦ The Last Song I Listened to
"Can You Hear The Music" by Ludwig Göransson (I hated the Oppenheimer film for multiple reasons, but I loved the soundtrack).
✦ Favourite Colour Or Colours
All the shades of blue, especially those deep blues touched with red. I also quite like green.
✦ Last TV Show Or Film I Watched
Priscilla, directed by Sophia Coppola. And let me tell you, it was excruciating, not because the film was bad - actually, the film was very, very good - but because it hurts to watch Elvis Presley groom and control Priscilla. #NoMoreSaintedMonsters
Tumblr media
✦ Currently Watching:
Slow Horses, a spy drama on Apple TV, with my dad. The boss, Lamb (played by Gary Oldman), is absolutely disgusting lol I love it.
Tumblr media
✦ Currently Reading:
"The Will of The Many" by James Islington. It's fun, but the main character is 100% overpowered, and the inlaid criticisms of both democratic and monarchical systems of government are tepid at best. Still, it's entertaining.
✦ Sweet, Spicy, or Savoury:
Savoury, then spicy, then sweet. Speaking of savoury, have you guys heard of Ajiaco? It's the soup the Mirabel family sits down to eat in Encanto and it's one of my favourite dishes of all time! Just look at it:
Tumblr media
✦ Last Thing I Searched Online:
Metis, the underrated Ancient Greek Goddess of Cunning (and mother of Athena). You can find what came of this research here:
✦ Last Thing I Searched For Writing Purposes:
Same as above!
✦ Current Obsession:
As always my current obsession is my WIP, The Sorcerer's Apprentice, a fantasy novel that explores the interplay between colonialism, capitalism, and environmental catastrophe through the fraught relationship between a mysterious sorcerer and his protogé. Check out the project at my dedicated writeblr:

dnd (taz, bg3, i also just Play Dnd)
greek mythology

To make up for the craziness of there being turkey in the Mediterranean that early I have made something that greek warriors would have actually eaten in the 13th century BCE. Roast lamb. I made kebabs and had them with some veggies and bread.

(I forgot to take photos after this sorry)
There are many passages in the Iliad and the Odyssey that outline how and what meats were prepared for feasts and sacrifices. I really don’t understand how they ended up with Brad Pitt eating turkey!!!!! 
especially because the film is decently historically accurate.

Today we celebrate the Holy Virgin Martyr Agnes of Rome. Saint Agnes was a young virgin of noble birth, born in Rome during the reign of Diocletian. Living a life fitting to her name, Agnes in Greek means "pure" and in Latin "lamb", she exhorted many women of her area to seek the Truth in Christ as the One True God and to worship Him through a chaste life. For her apostolic activity, her fame was spread throughout Rome and thus led to the arrest and trial of the young Agnes before the tribunal of the City Prefect. Because of her refusal to deny the Lord Jesus Christ as her Saviour, she was handed over to the keeper of a brothel to be defiled, clothed only in her undergarment. But the Lord did not abandon his handmaiden. Every time a man attempted to approach the virgin, they were suddenly held back by an invisible force. Finally when a certain man, more lewd than all the rest charged at the girl with all his might, he was struck by an angel and fell down dead. When the Prefect refused to believe her recount of how the man died, she prayed before him and the dead man was immediately raised back to life. The Prefect, amazed, cried out "Great is the power of the Christians!" The vicious pagan bystanders were so hart of heart that they attributed this miracle to sorcery and demanded that the virgin be executed. The Prefect gave in to pressure and condemned the pure Agnes to be burnt at the stake. The virgin leaped into the fire willingly, signing herself with the Cross and with prayer on her lips, she gave up her pure soul to the Lord at only twelve years of age. Pious Christians collected her holy relics and buried them reverently, building a magnificent basilica over her grave which became a wellspring of healing and a source of consolation for many Christians. May she intercede for us + #saint #agnes #rome #martyr #virginmartyr #rome #christian #prayer #virtue #pure #lamb #greek #latin #prefect #jesus #christ #jesuschrist #orthodox (at Rome, Italy) https://www.instagram.com/p/Cnpu2qAhF-y/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
