just to flip the age kink thing, i've got a suggestion for how they'd have hob as the younger one. hob's getting to the point where he needs to start his next life and he decides that he wants to keep teaching but wants to change up the subject this time. there's a grad program he's really interested in so he figures he'll do that and then teach the subject, he starts crafting his next identity, and dream's so interested in the process since he hasn't seen hob doing this before. he sees the age hob's going for and offers some help -- he could make everyone perceive hob as younger, so he'd be able to get longer out of this identity.

hob, of course, is thrilled. he starts off as young as he can, of course, but it's been centuries since hob's even tried to pass himself off as 22. he could pull it off when people lived harder, but it just doesn't work anymore. dream makes a couple more suggestions -- hob's used June 7th as his birthday before, it sort of is in a way. now tgat he and dream use it as their anniversary he would have picked a different date but hey, if that's the date dream thinks he should go with, no big deal.

so hob goes off back to school, he's having a great time, he's sort of loving pretending to be in his 20s again. his friends do give him odd looks when they see him with dream, though. that's fine -- dream is, frankly, odd. it's probably nothing. until he starts seeing how dream's presenting himself to others and... yeah, the first time hob sees the dusting of silver hair at dream's temples, he drops to his knees to suck dream's cock in the stacks of the uni library. it's fine. he has very normal feelings about it. it's fine.

he's not totally clear on the specifics of the game dream's playing until the end of his first year, though, when dream mentions, in careful earshot of a few of hob's more gossipy classmates, that he'll plan something nice for hob's birthday. it's their anniversary, after all, and five years is a number worth celebrating. hob doesn't realize until later that dream just made sure all hob's classmates know that he got together with his significantly older and significantly wealthy boyfriend on his 18th birthday. and that dream's been supplying most of hob's wardrobe again. and giving him jewellery. and keeping hob at his side any time they're in public together. and that maybe there's a reason he keeps getting carefully worded questions about his relationship, because dream has very intentionally made him look like a pretty young thing being taken advantage of by an older man. hob needs dream to fuck him about this immediately, actually.

(it also occurs to hob, once dream's fucked him through the mattress while calling him little one and darling boy and pet, that this is. probably how gods and fey and other immortals actually do see a relationship between dream of the endless and a human. and gets turned on about it all over again.)

-🐈‍⬛

This is literally what I look like right now. Oh my fucking gOD

I don't. I don't know how to add to this? Hnnngg. Dream with grey in his hair, treating Hob like his little plaything, making Hob’s friends somewhere between concerned and jealous. It's making my mouth go dry.

I think you might have finally bit the "horny overload" switch in my brain, my darling.

ffffffuck.

I'm just thinking about Dream renting a fancy apartment for Hob to live in while he's studying. He comes home from the dreaming every day, and Hob’s friends skedaddle from what ever study club they've been doing (they're a little intimidated by Dream, although hes nothing but polite). Dream gets to have Hob all to himself for the evening, gets to relearn Hob’s body as it hasn't been for a very long time. Being physically 22 has a lot of advantages when it comes to joint flexibility and sexual stamina, and Dream wants to enjoy them to the fullest. Hob is very much immersed in the fantasy of being Dream’s kept boy, and he likes the attention, he likes it when Dream showers him in gifts. He keeps Dream updated on his grades and soaks up all the praise and sweet talk Dream lavishes on him. They go to the opera together, or to fancy restaurants where Dream publicly shows Hob off to absolutely everyone. And the sex afterwards is just insane. Hob rides Dream’s cock in the limo on the way home, or sucks him off in the dressing rooms of fancy boutiques.

They have literally all the time in the world to be horny and stupid and I, for one, want to see it.

im thinking about how taylor was most likely going to announce song titled at each show and it has me thinking extra hard about the song choices and what track she’d reveal…

so my thoughts tgat have no proof are real:

fortnight: if it’s similar to a dear reader and holy ground mash up i think it’ll be taylor picking up sort of where she left off on midnights. or maybe it’s the “never take advice from someone who’s falling apart” her and she’s acknowledging the death of this relationship and the good and bad in it

the tortured poet’s department: i think this’ll be interesting because ever since 1989 (loosely red) the opening tracks of taylor albums feel less like it’s own song and written solely for the intention of being an opener. that’s not bad, a log of artists or musicals do it. but because of that the second song is usually how one kicks off the album. you got your opener, now it’s time to start the show.

just going solely off the songs im thinking it’s taylor maybe reminiscing or looking back at falling in love for the first time, or these other times where he touched her hand as she was about to leave and convinced her to stay. but with the added context of eyes open it feels like she’s now looking back at the beginning or even middle or these parts she so heavily romanticized for years without the rose colored glasses on and is really see it for what it was and is… two tortured poets working and living together…

my boy only breaks his favorite toys: this is an interesting surprise song combo, because both songs deal with this idea of being on the outside, longing for more, and just trying to figure out how to get it. but superman is also interesting because with other songs from the speak now vault we know the reason why superman kept flying away was because he didn’t really care and was stringing her along for so long. and that’s similar with the outside. pushing her away when all she wants is to be loved and accepted. but since superman is here im thinking it’ll probably go into this person she loved and was waiting to come back around but never did and left her alone

DOWN BAD: so the song combo of come in with the rain and yoyok is so interesting. because in ciwtr taylor is saying she tired of trying to get this guy to realize how she feels or finds her. but she’s still leaving the window open, while she’s to tired to keep fighting she also still has this hope he’ll come around… we hear this on yoyok in the first verse. so it might be taylor being so down bad for him she’s willing to wait it out and wait for him to come back but she’s also recognizing she’s probably really alone again after spending so much time thinking she never was going to be alone again.

#idk #im just over reading #i also might not have the right song titles to surprise songs cause we’ll never know what the order she was going to announce it in #but it’s still interesting the story both songs are telling #song analysis #the tortured poets department #kelly babels

[dreamersparacosm]

hi love! not sure if you’re still doing blurbs, totally ok if you aren’t. but i loved your drunk austin one so what about a drunk reader 😭😭 SPECIFICALLY a drunk reader after ashley tisdale’s bachelorette party. just imagine austin having to pick her up from the party and walking in on all the drunk girls LMAO

little miss alcoholic - austin butler

note ; hi yes i am still writing blurbs!! the way i flew to write this. no because you know austin would be literally so okay with you enjoying a night out with the girls and he loves when you get drunk because you’re all over him and i just- skdkdkddk

warnings ; suggestive language, intoxication

✧･ﾟ: *✧･ﾟ:*

seven drunk girls, two male strippers. it wasn’t a real game, but it might as well have been. because there you sat, in a circle, watching as two men dressed as firefighters stripped off their clothes, and perhaps the rest of their dignity. you, however, were absolutely hammered. the only way to possibly enjoy ashley tisdale’s bachelorette party. nothing against her, of course, but every time you watched a stripper grind against ashley playfully, you wanted your boyfriend, austin, more and more.

so, in your drunken haze, you whipped out your phone. another real game: trying to text your boyfriend when blackout drunk.

to: austin

hi bubz can7 u. come get me

for some unknown reason, you giggled as you pressed send, taking another sip of your vile tequila soda. he adored when you were drunk, because you were always a blubbering mess on how much you loved him. you two had been dating since he moved next door to you at the age of 8, so when he became famous, your friends became his friends and his successes became your successes. ashley had welcomed you with open arms and became one of your confidantes, which led to you sitting in a tiara on that saturday evening.

austin

are you okay? what’s wrong?

his automatic assumption that something was wrong made you giggle hysterically again. if everyone wasn’t engrossed in the male strippers, they probably would have snatched the phone out of your hand by now. plus, you had no regrets on leaving with your boyfriend. you had endured bridezilla ashley for more than 4 hours.

to: austin

noooo i’m fine i just a want a hug. and a kiss. maybe cuddles too if tgats oki

he laughed almost immediately. he knew what stage of drunk you were. he dated you throughout your college years and he had recieved no shortage of intoxicated texts, claiming that he had to drive down to see you right now for his dick. often times, he had driven down. how could he say no to you?

austin

alright baby well if you want me to get you i will okay?

of course, you wanted him to come get you. you actually needed him to come get you because one more look at those firefighters and you were gonna go ballistic. you fired back a simple ‘yes,’ setting your phone down so ashley would be surprised when austin walked through the door. initially, she had invited austin to her bachelorette as well, but he refused to wear a tiara and that wouldn’t work for her.

you looked like a lost puppy, waiting to be collected by its owner. however, you played the role well and continued to egg ashley on as she chugged straight vodka. listen, you were everything but a party pooper. your years in college taught you that much. 20 minutes flew by, and you found yourself rubbing oil against the firefighter’s chest, much to your dismay. everyone could tell you were not enjoying it, your lips pressed together tightly.

suddenly, you felt hands cover your eyes, and you yelped in confusion. sober you would’ve known right away it was austin. drunk you took a little more time. “having fun, baby?” he whispered into your ear.

“another stripper?” one of the girls yelled out almost immediately and your mouth flew open at the assumption.

“no! that’s my boyfriend, excuse you,” you stuck your tongue out at her. “and he’s mine!”

“[y/n], i thought we promised no austin at my bachelorette,” ashley whined, crossing her hands over her chest. yes, you had promised, but after four hours, you deserved to go home and nurse the hangover that would soon make itself apparent.

“well… i am a liar. a bold faced liar,” you shook your head, pretending to act repulsed by your actions. austin chuckled behind you, rubbing your shoulder as you stood up to pack your things. “y’all have fun being single.. tonight, i am having sex with my man.”

ashley and austin both laughed simultaneously as you stumbled to pack up your things. he basically had to hold you up, the world spinning far too much for your liking. you vowed, in that moment, to never drink again. waving goodbye to all the girls, you gripped austin’s hand as he walked you out of ashley’s home.

“you’re such a good boyfriend,” you whispered, rubbing your head against his bicep. he knew he was, but it was always nice to hear you say it. he also loved that when you were drunk, you went off on rambles, as you were about to do. “i really do love you so much, y’know, like you’re soooo hot. so hot. adorable, the cutest munchkin i could have ever-“

“okay, baby,” he cut you off in between, opening the car door and placing you in the passenger seat. you kept mumbling incoherently, something about him not being a cute munchkin when he cuts you off. he could live with that.

he got into the drivers seat, noticing you still talking to yourself. he had to press his lips together to keep himself from losing his mind. “can we get some wine?” you spoke, reaching out to touch his thigh. you were always unbelievably touchy when you were drunk, but he knew better than to take any of your advances seriously.

“absolutely not, little miss alcoholic, but i will take you home and tuck you into bed,” with that, austin drove off into the californian night, not a worry in his mind. your hangover was tomorrow’s problem.

[elsa-rain-world-stuff]

is Artificer your favorite Slugcat? is there a second favorite one? and why!

(Thanks for reading, love your art <3 :D)

Oh boi oh boi

Yeah Arti is my favorite because of 2 reasons: she reminds me of my other fav character (Undyne Undertale) and, well, ANGST

Yeah, the more angst the character has in their story, the bigger chance that they have to become my favorite

OH AND HEY, WANNA FUNNY THING? So, like, revenge theme was always, like, my thing. I wrote a THREE fanfics in HTTYD fandom with this theme. The first one was Hiccup killing people for Toothless' death, then vise versa, then (really funny) they both killed for each other, thinking that the other was dead. Fun thing that Toothless' style of revenge was similar to Arti's. I mean, kill everyone. No you can't read them (unless you know russian)

Sorry, i got distracted haha

So, you can guess that on the second place i have Hunter and Saint. Yes, both of them. Why Hunter isn't the first place? Weeell... Idk? When character dies, they just die, the end. When character loses someone they love... They get to live and suffer. Yeah. But still, being on a countdown? Angsty enough.

And Saint... Well, i like them mostly for their brainblast power. Yeah, if the character is strong and/or has some cool power i will probably also like them.

On the third place i have Spearmaster, and i should mention them because back in 2021 i thought they would be my favorite. Because that time we already knew many things about Downpour (which wasn't a thing yet, it was just More Slugcats, legendary mod). And there were like few gameplay videos and a whole stream with Spearmaster's campaign. And i remember that the person was told not to go to shoreline because of the massive spoilers (we were like WHY IS TGAT, IS IT BECAUSE MOOOON IS ALIIVEE???) (we were right lol). Instead they went to five pebbles and he ripped out the pearl from SM. And i was like OMG SO CRUEL I LOVE IT LOOK THEY'RE BLEEDING THEY'RE BLEEDING THEY HAVE FUCKING SCAR!!! and i immediately got few headcanons, that after the Wanderer (from Drought mod) failed their mission on bringing the gold pearl to Five Pebbles, SRS was mad so he took another slugcat, modified them without asking, sew a perl in them so they won't lose it and won't give it to Moon and sent to FP. And i was like OMG ANGST MM YUM YUM

And now it turned out that SRS is actually a good guy and actually cares about Spear and it's no fun ☹️ but the pearl episode is still great yum yum yum

Funny thing that about Arti we knew that she is, well, SHE, and that she fights scavs, has explody powers and cant stay underwater. And karma 1 locked. About Saint we knew that they have brain blast powers and were wondering if they gonna have it in the new version or no. Btw, i started shipping Artisaint in that time too. Like, strong, loud killer and weak quiet saint who can't even hold spears.

Oh well. I'm talking for too long now. Thanks for the question i guess 😅

hi o/ jus wana start by saying dis is jus semi incoherent rambling of a sleeby oupy who didnt get to eat 5 borgars for dinner.

i find the anti endo point of “just doing it for attention” so weird

for one its really disconected from real life, like, attention is a basic need fir our body, its why solutary confinment is such good tourture. its like saying “theyre just doing it to get food” :l dumb argument, evyone needs and withholding food because someones starving is an evil thing to do, an so is ignoring someone who’s in need of social interaction.

and two, its blatantly wrong. like, we’ve told 0 people irl about being a system, we’ve only told like, 3 online friends, and we never talk about system stuff with them still cuz we’re scared of loosing those friends for being too weird. we pretty much never post about it on our blog an besides the blog description no one wud probably ever know. the one time someone guessed we’re a system in a discord servr i had a full anxiety attack an avoided any interaction for 2 weeks even tho they were accepting, an then when we finaly went back to talking there i made sure we had any trace of system stuff wiped from the servr profile an deleted the messages that made them ask and only just showed that all again after 2 months of keeping everything hidden. we’re terrified of people we know knowing we’re a system or getting attention cuz of tgat.

tho we’re definitly on the extreme end for that (mostly me tbh… the social isolation and abandonment issues exo-memories and the body’s trauma from similar irl stuff deff made me super scared about this) but its a pretty similar experience for a lot of systems from wut ive seen where telling ppl is pretty much an act of compleat trust an usualy very anxiety inducing.

besides, if someone really wus just after attention, they could just post a incorrect fact online or a really dumb take. thats much easier an will get a lot more attention than faking being a system ever could. like, saying something like “reading is bourgeoisie” on a semi popular post will be a thousand times better at getting u attention than being a system ever could.

theres so much more i wana say about this, like the ableism inherent to that argument point, or the way its linked to child abuse, but phone keyboard is stupid and terrible and im too hungy to think well enough to write out those points properly an do them justice.

anyways, i hope u have a great day/night depending on when u read this.

Right! And if they're claiming people are wanting positive attention, I don't see that as being that hard either.

Like, if someone wants to talk to people on the internet about stuff, there are spaces out there for literally anything and anyone. You're not going to get more attention for being a system than you would for being outspoken in a fandom or a religion or any other social group you're a part of.

People who want attention... don't need to pretend to have people in their head to get it. And the attention you would get for that is often going to be negative because a lot of people are sanist and pluralphobic. But as you mention, it's not even the best way to get negative attention when there are so many actual troll-y things you can do.

You can find hundreds of communities online with people who will support you and give you attention for your takes on various topics! Or you can find hundreds more who will hate you if you push the right buttons!

There's just... no logical reason to fake being plural for attention.

And isn't this, again, the very same claims that have always been made against the LGBTQ community?

It's actually kind of funny how that happens, isn't it?

The people who are getting attention are generally the ones who most conform to society. It's not plural or trans people. It's the ones who do their best to fit in and be like everyone else in their group. Meanwhile, people who have identities that diverge from the norm are often left outcasts and shunned by peers.

And yet it's the latter group that's accused of attention seeking?

It makes no sense. 🤷‍♀️

[lunatic-fandom-space]

This is a thought Ive had for a while now but it feels kind of apt to bring it up after Ive watched Multiplication: Adriens career as a model doesnt really tie into his character or even his relationship with his father even though it definitely should. Like, in these past few episodes theyve kinda gone into how modeling is something he did because his father 'asked him to' and he didnt really know what else to do with his life but now hes starting to want to make his own decisions, but they havent even scratched the surface in terms of what being a model at 14 would do zo your mental state. And like, scratching the surface is all I want them to do tbh because its a kids show and we dont need to get in depth into how fucked up being a model is (when youre an adult) and how fucked up being a child star is and how being both at the same time would probably leave you with a slew of mental health issues, but idk maybe show how it affects his self-esteem in a negative or atleast in a weird way? Or his relationships? They did something that I liked in the season 4 finale, where Adrien talks to Marinette about how he feels like he cant really talk to anyone about how he doesnt want to leave Paris because no one would understand why he doesnt want to travel the world and be a model, I think thats a good way to address the issue of him being a model while not getting too dark for a kids show. I hope they expand on that a little in this season and I hope they talk about the way hes objectified, especially since the sentiadrien reveal is coming up and like, Ive already said that I hate that plotpoint but tgat way it'll atleast tie into his character. Because as it stands, hes not a model for any character reasons, hes a model in order to signal to the audienve that hes desirable, not just for Marinette but for everyone

So sad that most of this game has not a whole lot to do with my favorite aspect of the world building. So let's talk about something tangentially related:

The Climate and Physical Geography of Aea!

So central kingdom of Aea was built on a 'Field of Oblivion'. Which to explain are cracks in physical reality that lead to Oblivion lays. This kingdom was built upon a more minor field so the dangers were ignored in the founding of the kingdom.

But because of Aea being built on such a place, with little other choice anyways, the kingdom exists in a very mild place. It is a very flat land, mountains exist closer to the borders nearest H'afeara, ignoring the mountains tgat are growing upside down at least. The land that is there is mostly unfarmable, and the portions that are aren't super fertile. There will never be a case of abundant harvest or low harvest, it's very consistent and not enough to feed a whole kingdom. It was barely enough before and it definitely isn't currently as Aea has grown so much. Funnily enough there are a lot of massive forests in Aea but most of them are not safe to go into for one reason or another.

The weather is also super mild and has two modes. Nothing and winter storm warning. The sky is always dark and gloomy, and even worse when it gets to the colder seasons. They do not see the sun, but assume it's there somewhere since the crops still grow. The wind is only ever a breeze and the temperature is neither hot or cold, just a touch warm. Everything about the land is horribly consistent.

Then comes winter which is the most excitement people get during the year. Every year on the same day the winter clouds roll in and for weeks everything freezes over under tons of snow. People like to guess if the snow will come earlier or later on the designated day. It came the next day once and everyone thought it was the end of the world. But after the weeks of constant snow storms the freezing cold remains and slowly warms up until we are back to nothing.

Now a place like this would probably doesn't sound great to live in, and that's ignoring the heightened monster issue that come with living near Oblivion, but because of these factors Aea survived long enough to become the powerhouse that it is.

Welcome to another one of my lectures. Today we're gonna talk about

Galaxy Collisions

The dance of the universe

Featuring L.I.S.A.

As some of you might know (or might not know) pur galaxy is in a course of collision with the galaxy of Andromeda. Of course this colission is gonna happen in about 4 billion years and we're probably not gonna be alive as a species, let alone as individuals. But even if we were, the sun would not collide with anything as proven by computational simulations and observing other collisioms happening right now far far away in our universe. Like, a chance of 1 in 100000000000. You have way more chances winning the lottery when each person on the planet has bought a ticket.

So

What happens?

Let's imagine 2 galaxies. Each one is caught in the gravitational pull of the other, much like everything else in the world. As they draw closer, that pull becomes stronger.

The first thing to part each galaxy is the interstellar gas and dust. This acts like a fluid, particles moving closely together, and is very light in weight so it is easily separated by the main disk of the galaxy. This phenomenon does not require the galaxies to collide, but merely to pass close enough. It results in the creation of "tails" of gas and dust, coming out of the galaxy and stretching out to where the other galaxy passed by.

Here we have an example. This pair of interracting galaxies is called "The Mice" for obvious reasons

Preety huh?

Now. As i said the two galaxies can collide. According to the difference in mass between them we have two cases:

Galaxies significantly smaller are absorbed by the larger one. This is called "galactic cannibalism" (💀). We're currently doing this to the magellanic clouds (if you live in the southern hemisphere you have probably seen them in the sky). Thìs is also probably what andromeda is gonna do to us (Andromeda is visible in the northern hemisphere and about the only galaxy you can really see with the naked eye)

If they're about the same size they crash. Boom:

In any case, interstellar gas and dust are exchanged, the two galaxies become one, the tidal waves compress matter near the center of the galaxy and star formation is triggered. There is a whole category of galaxies called "Starburst galaxies" which are very bright in infrared light (they appear normal in the sky through your optical telescope). These galaxies we predict are the result of such colissions.

Explosive star formation however means that the "fuel" of the galaxy is spend very quickly, and so the galaxy "dies" (meaning no new stars are formed) pretty quickly (meaning a few hundred million years).

MOREOEVER

mg favourite part cause that's what I'm currently specializing in my studies

After such a collisions we end up with two centers of galaxies (meaning their supermassive black holes - enter song by MUSE-) in a common disk. These two INCREDIBLY HEAVY objects orbit each other and affect the orbits of nearby stars. Those stars are so light compared to the black holes tgat are actually SHOT OUT of the galaxy. If the combined mass of lost stars is comparable in terms of size with the mass of the black holes then those two begin to lose torque and end up getting closer. After getting close enough they start producing gravitational waves, causing them to lose even more energy and bringing them closer, until in the end they become one.

Now,

We can't yet detect those. The frequency they produce is too low for our ground detectors and so it is burried under noise and the limitations of the instrument itself.

BUT

in the 2030s a new detector will launch. And i mean that quite litterally, as they will launch it in SPACE. The Laser Interferometer Space Antenna (LISA for short. Nice lady) will be comprised of 3 ships positioned equidistantly in the angles of a triangle and will follow a specific path, following the earth around the sun but far enough from the planet. The three ships will be like 50km apart. A laser beam connects them all.

An interferometer uses a phenomenon of light called symbolometry. Depending on the wave's phase, we either see light or darkness in our screens. This is a ground detector:

Ground detectors have "arms" of length of 5km and detect frequencies like 10Hz to 1000Hz or smth like that, i don't actually remember the number. LISA tho, will bave much bigger arms (50km long) covering more space, interracting with a wave more fully and more easily. So, LISA aims to detect waves between 0.1 mHz and 1Hz. It will also be away from other earthly noise, like earthquakes.

One time they almost mistook a signal for a truck passing by and causing the mirrors reflecting the light back to tremble. Yeah. Don't worry, they noticed.

But the future is looking bright. Cause galaxy collisions are a window to the past (since the rate of stat formation is similar to the one we had in the first steps of the universe) and to the future (as i said, it'll happen to us too)

So what’s Saki’s version of the story of how he came across the turtles?

Let's see...

Be Oroku Saki, né Hamato.

You are the husband of the current leader of the Foot Clan, Higa, as well as a member of said clan. Over the years, you've slowly come to realize tgat your mother, for all her faults, was not kidding when she repeatedly warned you of the insanity going on there.

Also, your husband is just kind of a shitty guy and way too controlling toward you.

About half a year ago, famous actor Lou Jitsu- whom is actually your brother Yoshi- went missing. Most people are presuming him to be dead.

You know better: if he was dead, you'd be seeing his ghost.

Trick your husband into going on a lover's trips to the States. Once you get to the hotel, you make some tea for the both of you and overload his with sleeping pills. Once he's passed out, you make a bag of supplies and run out to track down your brother.

At this point, you know he wouldn't let you if you explained.

By the time you're able to track down which sewer hole Yoshi went in (?????), the sun's starting to set.

You're in the middle of the sewers when you're about to call it quits, go back to the hotel and beg your husband to forgive him for drugging him

Enter weird screaming homeless guy with bandaged face and a rat on his shoulder.

He tells you not to give up before dragging you DEEPER into the sewers, stopping before a wall with a weird symbol on it.

He then gives you his rat and a weird object with the same symbol, tells you this us the way to a Yokai settlementz and theb jumps into the sewer water.

WhatTheFuck.png

You open the way and jump into the portal. The city is about what you'd expected from your mother's lessons.

For some reason, the Literal Rat you've been given seems to know which way to go. So you follow it. Your life is already so weird, this might as well happen.

The rat takes you to a fancy building, even scaling a wall, and you follow it.

Your brother is in there.

You're really glad to see him, but for some reason he comments on your outfit???

He's been missing for six months, is stuck in another dimension, probably being kept hostage, and he's commenting on your outfit!?

So you snap at him about it

Then you hear someone coming in, so you hide and follow them as they take him to another room.

The room is some sort of weird lab, and your brother is more focused on the baby turtles he's naming than the weird purple goat guy explaining how he's planning on making an army of mutants?

The baby turtles are apparently the first step to it???

Your brothers mad now and weird goat guy ties him down?????

Fuck This.

You jump out and kick Weird Goat Guy in the face, before freeing your brother from the magic vines.

Instead of running out with you like a sane person, he goes grab the turtles and gives them to you, and then tells you to get out while he fights off Weird Goat Guy.

You put the tots in your bag, and you're pretty much on autopilot the whole time you're running

Realize that you've made it to your hotel room only when your husband, now very awake and very angry, is accusing you of trying to betray him.

You try to calm him down so you can explain yourself, but he just grows angrier and angrier until he tries to physically attack you

Your fighting instincts kick in, and you stab him to death. (This is the second time tonight you're mother's lessons have turned out to be relevant)

Remember once he stops breathing that this is the Head of the Foot Clan. Aka Evil Ninja Cult.

So now you've killed your cult leader husband, know that the cult's gonna come after you, you have no home, limited amount of money, your daughter is stuck with the cult all the way in Japan, and you have to get out of New York within the next six hours before room service comes in and sees your husband's corpse.

FML

(And this is all before you find out that the turtles in your bag are now basically green human babies)

Something I noticed is that Polites is like. The most stubborn and Eurylochus is the least.

Granted this could be because Odysseus is the captain so he kinda HAS to let him do what he wants (until mutiny) but still, he’s the least set in his ideals and doesn’t hang onto them quite as strong as the other two. (As proven by him changing his mind during Scylla.)

And also something I noticed is that Polites is the most reasonable person in their trio?? Like people say he’s the himbo and the heart but I’d make the argument that he’s also holding quite a lot of the brain cells. (He trusted the lotus eaters and they didn’t lie. Sure they omitted a detail, but they do also have an actual parasite for a brain. Not to mention, it was probably the only food for a long distance since the lotus eaters were just humans who were probably starving as well.) (contrast this with “Mutiny” Eurylochus and “Darkest moment” Odysseus who were being just completely unhinged.) (granted they did just have to see their friends die and then relive their deaths in gorey detail via underworld shenanigans but I digress!)

I know right!! poli is stubborn and persistent where euryl is much more likely to give in and stop nagging, only euryl is much more /vocal/ about it when he does have something to say, where poli voices his disagreements to odys in private and much more gently (or at least, that’s how it seemed in full speed ahead and open arms; euryl questioned odys outright but dropped it almost immediately while poli waited until they were alone to talk with odys).

Although I’d think that being second in command to odys captain position would come with more liberty to question him; that’s euryls job, to keep the man in power in check and provide a second opinion (although tbh I have. no clue what I’m talking about that’s just what makes sense to me haha–). Too bad poli dies early – I would have liked to see how he would have reacted to odys saying “don’t question me or everyone dies” lmao (I want to say that he would not have stood for that, but we’ll never know *sigh*).

The way I see it, and bear in mind that I haven’t heard all the clips yet haha and Epic is only a fourth of the way finished, euryl has a very… do what is best for the majority, save as many people as possible kind of mindset – and morals don’t necessarily have a place in that when peoples lives are on the line, while poli more has a strict sense of morals that he tries to do his best to follow, though I do think he’d be willing to compromise on them when lives are at stake

I definitely agree that poli seems like the most reasonable out of the three of them but to me in more of a… he seems a bit better adjusted to not being at war kinda way than the other two yknow? Odys n euryl are expecting a fight no matter what, they see the world as more of a kill or be killed kind of situation, where poli seemed to have recognized and come to terms with not being constantly waiting for a fight. He spread tgat a bit to odys before he died, and odys then tries to spread that to euryl. Personally I think they’ve all got a number of braincells – even if odys lost his while giving away his name address and social security number. Odys managed to win a war while keeping every single one of his people alive and while I’m sure he didn’t do it on his own, he had to be using his braincells haha. Maybe they’re just tired from carrying the war–

#you’re gonna have to give me a minute to answer ur other asks lol I just got off the phone and I’m starving I need f o o d– #lovely to hear ur analyses as always :D #admittedly– haven’t heard darkest moment yet but I’m a sucker for characters just going. off the fucking rails so that’s next #on my to listen list (once luck runs out is capable of /not/ being looped in my brain 24/7 lmfao)

the wildest thing to me about white transmascs is how for some reason they cant handle not being women. they hate being told theyre not women. you can be like "ok well if youre not a woman you shouldnt be taking up space for women probably, and if you identify as a man or something man adjacent you should probably leave lesbians alone" and they go I,,, CANMT FUCKING BELIEVE; TGAT THIS WORL.DD IS SO HATEFULL-- AGAINST ME,E,E IN OARTICULAR -- ARE YOU SAYING HE/HIM LESBIANS DON'T EXIST like man you arent a lesbian you'd die on the spot if you encountered a he/him lesbian

The night before they olened tgat pagan temple in iceland i think i had a dream about some goddess or something from that area and a man doing this ritual sacrifice of 6 children by fire. It was in the mountains. In the dream i was actually watching a documentary about this.

Theres probably nothing even close to that in mythology but it is weird. And the morning the notre dame was on fire my smoke alarm was going off for no reason
