-_- apparently the cut-off for this thing I want to submit to (which closes tomorrow) is 70k words, and I’ve got 67k

I need to think of three thousand words of bullshit to pad this thing. like a chapter where everyone goes for coffee, or something. 

#if this book is ever published #and the plot grinds to a halt midway through while the characters play a prolonged game of Uno #you know why #book

Events in the Odyssey, ranked by how often they show up in retellings and adaptations

I have read, watched, and listened to many an Odyssey retelling in my day (my day = the last month or so) and I have noticed some Patterns.

Iconic Odyssey Momence™

These are the defining episodes of the Odyssey. Every adaptation of the Odyssey HAS to have:

The lotus-eaters

The Cyclops

Poseidon is Angery

The sirens

Scylla and Charybdis

Mix-n-Match

If there is a little bit more time, a little bit more dedication to faithfulness, or a little bit more mature target audience, these are the important events that fill out the narrative:

Circe

Calypso

the bag of winds

Penelope weaves the shroud

the journey to the underworld

Odysseus returns home and murders the suitors

the Trojan Horse, if the reteller remembers that that story was actually relayed in the Odyssey

Deep Cuts

Really only the completionists include these:

Athena hangs out with Telemachus

Nausicaä

the men eat the sacred cattle of Helios (this is such an important moment in the poem and comes up in adaptations weirdly rarely)

Telemachus dicks around in Sparta

Literally nobody ever includes these

I had no idea these were a thing until I started reading the Odyssey:

raiding the Ciconeans on Ismarus

the Laestrygonians

Telemachus dicks around in Pylos

#It’s actually super funny how Jay Rivera-Herrans WAS actually going to try to put the raid on the Ciconians in Epic: the Musical #Had a whole draft song called ‘Ismarus’ and everything #And then evidently realized that ‘Ismarus’ / ‘Let Me Be Your Light’ was both grinding the momentum of the plot to a halt #And crowding out space to include the lotus-eaters #And like. When you are retelling the Odyssey and your choices are between including the Ciconians and including the Lotus Eaters #You choose the Lotus Eaters #So ‘Ismarus’ / ‘Let Me Be Your Light’ became ‘Full Speed Ahead’ / ‘Open Arms’ #and once again no one cares about the poor Ciconians. lmao #The Odyssey #tagamemnon #Epic the Musical

they should invent a modeling professor that doesnt fucking suck

#i love vaguing my professor sorry man. i hate ur guts #hes trying to show us how to do this rlly intricate process to get into polishing your model #and i am doing fine until i hit a small snag that grinds my process to a halt bc i cant continue w this issue existing #and i ask him about it and even though hes literally just spent 10 minutes helping other people with much weirder issues he looks at me #and basically is like Well Youll Have To Deal With It Bc I Have To Get On With The Lesson #and like girl. your fucking class. your lesson. i cant do it when i have this issue. this issue is preventing me from following along #and for the record theres only like 13 or so of us and thats only when everyones here. so its not like hes that strung out #aughhhghjghghh. #lycan howls

Since my first meme post about Sonic Prime turned out to be such a hit, why not keep this ball rolling.

Episode 3

Episodes 4 & 5

Episode 6

#sonic prime #sonic the hedgehog #xi yammers #someone better have made a video edit with It's a Hard Knock Life to all the times Sonic gets slapped around in this show #i'm starting to worry the lad might actually develop a concussion #also dang did the pacing in episodes 4 and 5 grind to a halt sometimes #they could have EASILY been 1 episode but no #back and forth back and forth GET ON WITH IT ALREADY #not that Thorn Rose wasn't an interesting antagonist but I can only watch Sonic completely fail at communication so many times

forgot how much more slowly writing goes when I'm trying to tackle something with emotional weight and serious character/relationship implications instead of just chortling and splashing around in a sandbox full of clown bullshit lmao

#1. this scene is going to be quite long #2. it's still not going to actually Fix the situation bc one conversation fixing everything is stupid and devalues the conflict #3. but also I don't want to grind the entire fic to a halt to zero in on this! there are so many things going on all the time #all these idiots have such busy lives lmao #And every time I introduce an OC and then get deeply attached to them and their bizarre inner life on top of the shit I'm already juggling #it makes ever chapter even longer and I am struggling lmao

I’m gonna say it.

I’d totally support it if the animators on the next spider-verse movie decided to strike.

no incredible work of art is worth the abuse of its’ creators.

#YES EVEN IF THE MOVIE GETS DELAYED #the state of the people working on it is more important than the movie itself #I wouldn't mind if all american animators ended up striking. #I wouldn't mind entertainment grinding to an absolute halt. #change is more important

local manipulator was having too much fun discussing hypothetical blood tastes with friends that he almost forgot to seduce them too, more at 11

normal people on this website learning that mclennon exists is possibly the funniest thing they get so confused and scared

#sorry to all my followers but thank you for sticking here #I hope you're learning some fun facts to tell at parties to bring the conversation to a grinding halt

this is a crisis

oh my word

a single manhunter pack of dinosaurs has wreaked so much devastation without landing a single hit on any of my colonists
