#the chilliad

[theodysseyofhomer]

i am not usually a fan of retelling the trojan war as a goofy little fun time.

i do, however, love the chilliad by molly ofgeography. which dares to ask the question, what if the trojan war was a prank war between two frat houses and the stakes were low but very, very funny? and what if odysseus and penelope and hector and paris and helen all had characterization i enjoyed?

because i do like the chilliad and do like being rewarded for liking things, i'm dropping this here. subscribe from my referral link and i get rewards and maybe someday we both get to read the secret end of the story where odysseus is the only person who can match penelope at beer pong.

thank you for your time

It’s too bad the chilliad doesn’t have a fandom; I need somewhere to rant about my fantheories where Molly won’t see them

ETERNAL HANGOUT (the bug I suppose I should share)

if you're tired of goodbyes, try it

invite your friend(s) and go to the cable cars (the icons aren't visible during hangout, so it would be easier to tag the place in advance) wait one, get in, get out, then get in again. you'll see the option to use the cable car for $10, do it. and once more if you're not exited of hanging out on the Chilliad peak.

keep in mind that:

- you can't go to the bar or do any other activity (except shops & customs), the map will be empty as if you were on a mission

- you also can't drop your friend(s) off, only abandon them but you'll still be unable to do something else

- the only way to get out is die

- or load. not sure if you can save during that, but it makes sense to try (as you can save during a normal hangout but not with your phone, the bed only)

- you might accidentally abandon them so make sure they aren't stuck. if you do, you won't get a warning notification to come back, they'll just stop following you (still react on bumps and shoves though, if you're into that))

- they might die. from a tank shot or a plane crash (even if you're on a painkiller and made it out alive)

SO WHAT'S THE POINT? well, first, they'll not be scared when shit hits the fan (did you ever get a message "Trevor got scared" when your car went underwater or something exploded nearby? what a nonsense). second, they'll not be wounded so you can bump into them as much as you want and they'll become much more tenacious during shotouts. third, they'll not suddenly leave you with an unavoidable goodbye cutscene after you spend a few days together. kinda satisfying, for T especially)

♡♡♡

and now a little background. a few months ago I saw a cute trikey dream where they had a cable car ride together. it wasn't the game's one, more like a ski lift but without skis and without even winter, rather a blossoming spring. it felt sorta "secret after-ending scene which you can get only after fulfilling some conditions" so I was somehow aware of myself as a player and took A HELL LOT of screenshots. they weren't an actual couple there, just chilling buddies with a complicated backstory to talk out, so they talked (it's a shame I didn't remember any dialogues, visual only, but the vibes were like "so everything settled, we're both alive thanks to Frank, he did great and we did great too"), they argued, they laughed, and then Michael almost fell off (for wtf reason), Trevor grabbed him. and held in his arms for the rest of the way, Mikey didn't mind (what surprised me most) and they kept talking. then the cable car stopped (or they just jumped off while it was closest to the ground? more likely) and later they were standing on a cobblestone sidewalk, whispering quietly, without moving even an inch away of each other's faces. I turned on my paparazzi mode again wondering why this scene is so underrated and no one even said a word about that. and when I already was like "omfg, they're so damn close it nearly looks like a kiss!!1!1" they really STARTED KISSING without any "looks like". AND AFTER THAT, I thought sincerely, SOMEONE STILL CLAIMS THEY AREN'T LOVERS? WHAT'S WRONG WITH YOU PPL? ehh it's rather what's wrong with me but ok... more importantly, the one who initiated was Trevor. the view was from his back, so I only could see Michael's face: he wasn't surprised, rather uncertain if he should've done it first. their kiss was long, not really passionate but very affectionate and gentle. like they finally reached their comfort zone and it all worked out the best way possible.

don't recall anything further, guess I just woke up or the dream channel changed to something boring. hmm... probably first.

(just to say, it was long before I learned how to use rockstar editor and started to take these kiss-alike shots, but yeah, I've become obsessed with the idea since that))

next day I tried a cable car with them and detected the bug (or whatever else it is). was playing as Michael and got confused at first, like what do you mean he can't get rid of T now? I suddenly felt trapped. tried a lot of shit to trigger back a normal hangout, with no results. didn't dare to simply abandon Trevor but I knew it can't go on like this. so I just killed Mikey to let him escape lol. such an irony.

so in summary, it's a trap. a gay trap, particularly. maybe you'll find it entertaining ;3

Homer's Bongessey and the Chilliad

#t

[reubyrp]

A car rolls down the road, gravel beneath the tires shifting, crinkling and clacking as they're run over by the near-silent vehicle. There's no exhaust trailing behind, nor is there the growl of your standard beast. Only a faint eeeeee emanates from the vehicle, baby blue and dusted with dirt, dented with bulletholes. "Karma" is displayed proudly on her bug-dotted bonnet. The array of cameras mounted atop and around her bring a thought to mind- "Karma"- is that just a name, or a warning?

> yea idk i think i fucked up. asshat died in some jetpcak incident ig. why did we make our way out here again

With his black Bates on the dashboard of the AV, Kevin- "KV" to most- pokes away, thumbs to his phone as he fires off text after text. He's not paying attention to the road- that's Karma's job- at least until he spots something- someone? Out of the corner of his eye, above his glasses, he sees a far too infuriatingly familiar figure.

"Karma- karma did you-"

She honks once- that means "yes".

"Pull into this driveway, hold on- I have to-" KV stumbles into the backseat, pressing his head against the rear window as he follows the man with his eyes. "There's no way... could it?"

Karma honks thrice, a "maybe", and plays a sound. It's audio of a gun being cocked.

"No, no. Too easy. I'll think of something- but we have to like, be sure it's him- if it's a civvie- lord, we're fucked."

The AV comes to a stop, and as the man passes by- plugged hairline and all- KV gently pops open the rear door of his beloved friend.

"J-just stay here."

Karma honks once more, quiet and displeased.

"It's fineeee. I just gotta make sure, maybe make some small talk, I dunno, then we'll... we'll figure something out, okay? Don't be like that," KV responds, before hopping out and quietly following after the man.

If Karma had eyes, she'd have rolled them all the way back to San Fierro.

(Shipment Arrival from @fourtymart . ATTN: Avon)

To Avon, this is just another normal day. He's been kicked out of his husbands car and made to return home on his own. He's lost count of how many times this has happened, but at least he's now memorised the way home.

Avon is totally unfased by the car that pulled into the driveway behind him and let a strange person out. That's okay though, Los Santos is full of strange people doing strange things all the time. Since his freedom from that nuclear silo hidden away in Mount Chilliad, he's learnt to just ignore these things and keep moving. Maybe this guy was just checkin their mail or something like that. That's a normal human thing to do. Oh well, Avon only has 2 minutes, 52 seconds, 24 milliseconds and 54 nanoseconds left until he reaches his destination.

There is a little something that's off about this encounter. As Avon has learnt in his brief time outside the silo, there's "someone's walking the same direction as you" and "someone's tailing you". Avon's sensors are going wild, telling him something is off. If he could perspire, you bet he'd be sweating bullets right now. To combat his odd feelings, he keeps his gaze pinned forward and hopes that this guy won't continue to follow him.

Have you read the chilliad? It's the Illiad retold as a prank war between competing frat houses. That seems like something right up your alley

I haven't read it, no! A quick google search told me that it's being published on substack, which I have never used before either, so perhaps that's why I've never heard of it. The concept seems interesting though! Thanks for the rec 💙

#live laugh love you funky cunts

[classicslesbianopinions]

do you have any modern adaptations of greek myths you recommend? someone was trying to flirt with me and told me their favorite greek mythological adaptation is percy jackson and while, idk, its fine as a young adult novel or whatever, it really isnt my thing (and also really isnt a good adaptation). but then i realized i dont really know a whole lot of modern adaptations besides the ones i hate. i dislike miller and atwood, and besides a few of carsons works like autobiography of red i dont actually know a lot i like.

ceterum censeo read the just city etc etc etc

anyway i have answered this before but the best i've got is ursula k le guin's lavinia and jo walton's the just city (which i knowww i go on about but it + its sequels are among my favorite books ever). also when it comes to adaptations that are not printed books the mechanisms' ulysses dies at dawn is really good (recommended by a follower), and i won't recommend the chilliad right now because the author is working on rewriting it i believe but. i'm subscribed to their substack so you know the SECOND that starts coming out again i will be posting about it

unfortunately i feel like i dislike a lot more adaptations than i like so my recommendations are always really sparse. i promise i'm not trying to be a hater 😭

Chiliad Mystery explained :

#ww3 #new world order #endtimes #gta6 #gta #gta v #gta 5 #gta7

[historitor-bookshelf]

About 75% through with "Legion".

As befitting a book starring the Alpha Legion, it's a spy thriller for the first part, and it basically had no Astartes POV contrary to the previous ones. All were baseline humans, if you ignore Grammaticus.

I'm kinda lukewarm on the whole Cabal business. Sure, sure, mystery plot and all that, but still. Feeling meh so far, maybe I will warm up to them.

The main army, the Geno Five-Two Chilliad is interesting, having young female officers called Uxors using their perception psyker powers and male officers called het. The ladies are young because their 'cept stops working after their late twenties or thereabouts. And the soldiers were gene-engineered and designed, which made them a devastating fighting force.

Definitely feeling it not for the plot surrounding Uxor Roxshana and Grammaticus. Like, guys, love at first sight is not really a thing in 40k - and while the novel calls it that, I would rather go with lust at first sight. While that's not a bad thing, I think them trusting each other so quickly, is a bit far-fetched? Like, he tells her about the Cabal. He goes to her after shit goes sideways and she lies to her superiors. Him caring about her well-being was sweet though.
