DO NOT BE AFRAID

this is combining Ovid's Heroides and the Excidium Troie because I can't stop thinking of Hermes telling him not to be afraid. what the fuck!! Ares is wearing the crown that Paris gave him.

I have. thoughts. about Paris. he's almost got this Troilos parallel in my mind, that the event that defines him in detail exists in a lost narrative that we don't have (the Cypria), but everyone else knew. the event that defines Troilos is his death (murdered, butchered by Achilles, the violence of which haunts everything after. Achilles, child killer, you can't escape that!), and the event that defines Paris is the Judgement. what's a lost text but a kind of grave!!

idk I don't think that Paris before the Judgement would recognize himself after bc when you become god touched, it rearranges your guts. you become transformed in the worst way possible! how could you recognize yourself! but I also think that all the Parises after the Judgement would recognize each other because that event is so locked into the trauma of war and the scar it leaves on the land, it's like a scar on the narrative too. it exists like this forever, over and over again, so you exist like that forever too. Troy collects grief and despairs.

Troy as trauma: Reflections on intergenerational transmission and the locus of trauma, Andromache Karanika

and Paris is like. a miserable little god/corpse-puppet or something, like a match for the gods to throw onto gasoline.

The Excidium Troie + Ovid's Heroides:

Excidium Troie, trans. Muhammad Syarif Fadhlurrahman

Ovid, Heroides 16 (trans. Harold Isbell)

a collection of things regarding Paris that made me go 😬 but under a cut bc this is getting. very long.

The Divine Twins in Early Greek Poetry, Corolla Torontonensis

Iliad 24 and the Judgement of Paris, C.J. Mackie

Elegy and Epic and the Recognition of Paris: Ovid "Heroides" 16, Elizabeth Forbis Mazurek

Ennian Influence in "Heroides" 16 and 17, Howard Jacobson

Paris/Alexandros in the "Iliad", I. J. F. de Jong

#long post #paris of troy #komiks tag #it's all greek to me #like. DISTANTLY. its #the iliad #drawing tag #listen i know it's fun to dunk on paris. but im a chronic killjoy. i know its cringe. mea culpa etc #i would love. I WOULD LOVE. to draw a comic and not have the commentary notes be longer than the comic itself #unfortunately i like to read and i cannot stop talking about things that i read. so this will not be changing.#ngl i keep hearing the last line 'my brother says you are a just judge' as 'and brutus says he is an honorable man' and that's smth for sur #god i wish this was shorter but then i remember it could've been longer bc i started drawing this while watching #some excellent korean horror but then i looked at myself in the mirror and said 'no. get your shit together.'#but that show is what sparked this. the themes. god i love shows. a round of applause for tv shows.#in a different world theres a version of me that didn't exercise self restraint and there's 30 screen caps from a horror show here too

I wanna get around to doing some small story beats for the "Main Six Takes Manhattan" story. It'd be a good chance for me to play around with different art styles too.

I'm really excited about this story too because it'd be splitting everyone up into pairs for their own little arc.

Rarity attends a fashion showcase in upper Manhattan, with April-Jacqueline in tow as her "attendant." The two get swept up in industry drama as they uncover the abuse faced by amateur designer Carol Cho under the American fashion house "Polomare."

Pinkie and Thea head to Harlem for a rent party, hosted by Thea's city friends. Despite Thea's protestations, Pinkie can't help but be the life of the party as its tenants and musicians attempt to raise enough money to fight their landlords and demand housing justice.

Dash and Félicie navigate NYC's transportation system to go to a ball game: the New York Wonderbolts vs. the Washington Senators. While Dash meets her heroes, Félicie can't help but feel homesick and smothered by the big city.

#i have 3 major art projects going on at once tho rn #the au/ko crisis for a writing class/my storyboarding job #so things are slower going #delete later #personal #last story is def the weakest. i definitely wanna set up some solidarity between spitfire and dash (as colonized people)#i need to find a strong political/historical angle for that because each arc's theme is racial solidarity and allyship #rarity and carol represent chinese/korean solidarity (especially given both groups would become victims of imperialism during that era)#and pinkie and thea represent hispanic/black solidarity (with a specific focus on housing and redlining)

The second end credits. The metaphors. The afterlife. The sea meaning. The CHANGE OF PLAYERS!!!

Everything. This show has ruined me.

After being exhausted with bad finale endings in so many Thai Series last year, this short but mighty Korean BL called "Love for Love's Sake" just came and destroyed me in a few days.

The writing is just incredible. The themes are realistic and make you think about life. The production is very well-thougtful (come on! So many details are to be pointed out in decorations, dialogues and everything!). The acting is very natural and characters are refreshing and addicting.

I have so many feelings. SO MANY.

Damn, 2024 started so strong for me.

I'm gonna go drown myself in the corner and maybe get to my own happy afterlife

Okay, no, I gotta gather myself and write other several posts about hidden details in each episode. Haaa.

Anyway, 10/10 would recommend to watch for every BL lover or just Kdrama viewer.

How am I supposed to return to work, I have no idea but I'll try. Feel free to rant about this show with me in replies, reblogs or asks %))

Who the hell directed and wrote this show. I'm gonna go and pour some hearts on them.

#this show reminds me of Be My Favorite which says a lot cuz BMF was my favourite BL last year #but the serious themes are similar and both were crafted with love and effort which shows #which I am so happy about cuz I get to add a new favourite BL #Only I wish it was more accessible and wasn't released in just 2 weeks cuz so many people deserve to hear about LFLS and watch it #love for love's sake comments #love for love's sake #kbl #bl series #korean bl #i wish i could come up with stories like this but my writing just isn't that great #i should really watch and study korean dramas

20230928 - 6:56am [🐹]

sometimes i feel like such an introvert — i don't want to speak to anyone or for anyone to speak to me. but then i remember topics that i really, 진짜 정말 enjoy talking about and i realize that if someone would let me talk about those things, i would not shut up and would actually gain a lot of energy from that conversation.

but for now, i am also happy with quiet mornings when nobody minds me and i don't have to mind anybody — just enjoying my own world.

thinkin abt trains in ORV.... something that’s both in perpetual motion (trains be zoomin’) and never actually going anywhere (stuck on the tracks)... trains being literally so barren of life on the inside that KDJ turns to stories to just have SOMETHING to do... train compartments be like *separates you from everyone else*...

Trains love to be intertwined with themes and stories also. Literally all the time. They spend the first how many chapters in the subway station. The bit where that old woman assassinates the leader of the Japanese faction w/ train stage transformation. Surya.

And when the um. When escaping from the subway system/ trains becomes a thing that is like literally happening constantly?? YJH starting in that car again and again. The scenarios taking place in the subway system for the beginning bit. SURYA AGAIN, wherein each member of the party is literally so important and each of them opens a different door-- something something ‘together we can escape the system’

and then. The Oldest Dream being in Subway land as this sudden and horrible realization that no, actually! Kimcom isn’t free of the damn system yet! A sacrifice is still necessary!!

It’s just, like. Trains as a metaphor for oppressive systems and cycles, man..

#orv #omniscient reader's viewpoint #my posts #<-- i'm tagging my shit as that now bc I recently realized there's just.. straight up no way to just look at your own og posts?#in this vein of thought--#I've found this movie (Snowpiercer) that was #a) a South Korean co-production #b) critically acclaimed and came out 5 years before ORV began publication #and C) deals really heavily in the same train-related themes and motifs as ORV #(the simultaneous motion and stillness #same train-car separation dynamic #same overturning of society's status quo #and that same back-to-front movement we see in the fight against Surya-- with similar thematic weight behind it!)#I think there's a good chance ORV is referencing Snowpiercer (consciously or not) with the Train usage #since the themes line up and there's a good chance Sing Shong would have seen it #but I haven't watched it.. so I'm not sure.#So there's gonna be another post abt this tagged both for Snowpiercer and ORV--#in hopes of maybe getting the opinion of someone who's seen it?

i was reading the 6th issue of chogwa (an e-zine featuring one Korean poem & multiple English translations by different translators) and i am in love with all the different renderings of the final line of Park Seo-won’s poem “Somang/소망”

#chogwa #soje #translation #korean translation #Park Seo-won #somang #ellis reads #poetry #korean poetry #translation studies #feeling a lot of things..... this is literally its own poem #소망 #박서원 #i'm so enamoured of this project #chogwa means 'excess' which is basically the theme and inspiration behind the whole thing #soje describes their inspiration as being a desire to free translators/ions from the weight of having to be *everything*#to quote their statement about it:#'The existence of other translations can embolden us as translators dare us to be a little cheekier. Translating by could not should!#The more translations there are the more room they create for play and experimentation.'#which i really really love #particularly when i think about how there's a pressure on less-commonly translated languages to be 'definitive' translations #authors and translators from certain literary cultures are burdened with the expectation to be and do ~everything~#a whole new (old) form of literary and linguistic tokenism upheld by the western publishing industry :/#so i love this movement to push back against 'the definitive' in translation and instead embrace a multiplicity of voices and renderings #and in layering those voices there's the potential to create something more profound and beautiful than would otherwise be possible #<3
