listen of course all adaptations are on some level in conversation w the original text and we’re talking about old as hell stories but to me Nolan shoveling a “We Need To Save Western Civilization” angle into The Oddysey is just as gross as Flanagan twisting HOHH so that the nuclear family saves the day

yeah yeah you’re right it just makes sense that Odysseus wouldn’t see his non-Greek opponents as intellectual equals and then express concern that the Greeks will forget to read and write if he and his wife don’t breed about it… it just makes sense that Eleanor Vance loves her mom and dad and husband and is surrounded by loving people and not isolated… it’s just a reinterpretation of the text bro…

reading about the participation of children in rituals as a form of play in ancient greece and came across an incredibly charming story from julius pollux's onomasticon where a flood prevented the adults from reaching a sanctuary to sacrifice a ram to heracles, and the children solved the problem by....sticking a bunch of sticks in an apple to give it "legs" and "horns" and offering it as a sacrifice instead. it's such a charming thought and i can perfectly picture kids these days also pretending at sacrificing an apple "goat" at recess

I thought you meant Camelot quests and I was like "that's fair, 'never pick a four leaf clover on the last Wednesday of the month' IS a fussy little step that shouldn't matter" but then I was like "wait isn't that also a flour company"

nooo I am not a beleaguered knight of the round table I am making elaborate focaccia 😭

"I hate when King Arthur has all these fussy little steps" -- Camelot cleaning staff, probably

Last time this came around I showed my three year old and he said "He's little like me!" and stared for a whole minute (v. Long in toddler time).

Ok so thanks for voting on this but i need you to reblog it too

we as a society have GOT to accept that it is okay if we get blocked. you do not have the right to interact with every single person on the internet. "but then i can't interact with their content" yes that is the point "but i didn't do anything" no one owes you an explanation and you don't have to have "done something" to be blocked. let it go
