Looking out of people’s windows is such a peaceful way of travelling… I got a snowfall in Argentina, a nice sea view in Ukraine, a clothes line in the fog in Bangalore. Antonella from Tavernaro, I like your wooden bird.
Im enjoying the longevity of tumblrs recontextualization style of humor. a seemingly innocuous post followed by like "posts that a gnome would make" or like "are you a phone"
go up to any comics fan and ask them which writers house they would mail pipe bombs to and they’ll list of at the bare minimum 5 different people. ask them their favorite character and you’ll be greeted with an answer followed by why every comic ever featuring that character has been literally the worst and they refuse to read it again. truly i don’t think there’s another group of people so invested in something that they truly despise to such a great degree.

Your artstyle is like your gut microbiome in the way its everything you consume and like and it also has all your bacteria up in it. Thats probably how that works
did she or did she not offer the hand of a bretrothed Helene, a promise which would directly incite the coming war? if there is a pile of gunpowder sitting around in Troy, is an explosion not the fault of she who lights it with a match?
If what you assert is true, I must ask in response, why was Aphrodite holding the matchstick? Was it not Zeus, the king of the Gods, who refused to judge a mere beauty contest? Was it not he who had his son pluck some random man off the street to do it in his stead? And where may I ask did that golden apple of judgement even come from?
Irrelevant? Your honor the assertion that my client started this war for "funsies" is speculation. I demand we throw this whole case into Tartarus where it belongs!

the fact that i'm no longer the same age as the protagonists of novels and films i once connected to is so heartbreaking. there was a time when I looked forward to turning their age. i did. and i also outgrew them. i continue to age, but they don't; never will. the immortality of fiction is beautiful, but cruel.
liking a ship but disliking the distinct set of stock fanon that they have been assigned is like one of those punishments dante came up with when he wrote the worldbuilding for hell in inferno
The new Odyssey adaptation has inevitably gotten people talking about a Muppet version of it, and they’re frequently suggesting Kermit as Odysseus, Miss Piggy as Penelope.
I’m sorry but that’s thinking way too small, hear me out:
We need to have Miss Piggy as Odysseus, and Kermit as Penelope.
Think about it… who’s the more fickle, prideful, warlike one in that relationship? Who is absolutely ready to go ham, at a moment’s notice?
I was gonna make a much longer post about that but then I looked at the mia jason and cass meta wips fighting in my drafts and thought girl, be serious. And then I realised my thoughts were really not that deep or insightful so. Here's my version of the concept of restraint.
Wonder Woman Historia does an incredible job of telling us exactly why, for the Amazons and women in general, Diana represents hope. If you haven't read wonder woman historia, it's worth just reading it: spoilers under the cut.
In Historia, the goddesses create the Amazons, superpowered super cool warrior women, to solve the problem of misogyny. Despite this being her plan, Hera, who can see the future, refuses to join them. Instead, she takes the soul of a baby girl that Hippolyta (then a mortal woman) was pressured by systemic sexism into abandoning in a river, and puts it in a bird for safekeeping (insert "hope is the thing with feathers reference).
When the gods find out about the Amazons, they take it as a slight against them, against the justice of men. After beating his wife, Zeus, egged on by Apollo who finds himself personally offended in the affair (and acts not unlike a petulant child) sends Herakles and then other stuff (armies and armies of men and also fiery sun arrows) to decimate the Amazons. Crucially, we get a conversation between one of the goddesses (i think demeter) and Hera, where Hera explains that the Amazons won't win (not now. Not in a thousand years), where we see Hera plagued by visions of the violence to come. But in that same breath that she seems to condemn the amazons, she denies the pointlessness of hope (camera zoom in ominously on the bird).
The Amazons do end up losing -not because they are weak (they send Herakles back to his father in pieces. Very satisfying) but because they are finite in numbers and the violence wielded against them isn't something that can be solved with brute strength, it is systemic. The Amazons can't win because the guy who is literally the ruler of the entire world including the gods, the God of Making the Rules, decided that the rules were misogyny, that the way the world turned was through the oppression of women and that that was just.
But Hera, who is very smart, manipulates Dionysos into manipulating Apollo into believing that living is a worst fate for the Amazons than dying honorably in battle (and, with the exception of one, they would agree). So when the Amazons are being decimated, Hippolyta (who became a queen of the Amazons through sheer guts) asks for an audience with the gods (she's gutsy) and then, when the choice is offered (because Apollo thinks he's so smart), Hippolyta betrays the will of the Amazons by accepting the offer of having all the amazons (except one) be resurrected and live in peaceful isolationism on Themyscira, where they can't fight the battle they were created for. The life of one Amazon, a child who was the first girl Hippolyta saved, is also lost in the bargain.
In Themyscira, wrecked with guilt, Hippolyta makes a clay/sand statue of the baby she left to die at the beginning of the story and then goes in the water, potentially to drown herself (that's how I interpret it at least -though i'm not super sure if she's able to, like, physically. She sure looks like she wants to.) However, she is pulled out of the water by the cries of a baby because surprise!
Hera put the soul of the dead baby from the beginning (which has been stored in that bird) into the clay baby, and together with the other goddesses, they infuse life and blessings into her. Then Artemis says she forgives Hera and gives Diana one of her names.
And it's hope for freedom and change. At first, when the godesses are introduced, we see amazing designs and cool descriptions, and Artemis is introduced as "goddess of all things wild and free"; and by the end, she says "I change my face as often as I change my mind", and also that she has many names (hence sparing one for Diana). Diana, of all the Amazons, is the one who is different -the one who was blessed by all seven goddesses, who has the ability to go freely into men's world and cause change. And it's important in the context of Diana considering herself an ambassador, rather than a warrior, to me, because the Amazons didn't lose because of strength: they were plenty strong enough but lost to systemic power, and Diana, who Hera gave the blessing of life to, is brought into the world with the power to change the system.
This is important because the motive of hope works on so many levels: it's hope for Hippolyta, who started the story choosing to let a child die and alone and ended the story choosing to let a child die and having betrayed her sisters, it's a new beginning. It ties very interestingly with Wonder Woman's peace mission and her tendency to reform her enemies: when Hippolyta first refuses her title of queen, she does so because she is haunted by guilt for the baby she killed, and the amazons guide her towards what she can do for her sisters, towards the future. In the end, when she's wrecked by guilt over the defeat and Tarpeia's death, it's Diana's cry of life that pulls her focus, a rebirth from a crime that can't be erased but can be learned from, to do better, to focus on the future. Diana's hope is tied to the concept of forgiveness, because while punishment is a (perhaps vain) focus of our energy towards the past, hope is turned towards the future, and what we can do to build a better one.
It's hope for Hera, and like, Hera sees everything so if she believes after thousands of years of oppression Diana can bring hope and change, then we best believe it, considering she can literally see everything. It's hope when there are all the reasons in the world to be pessimistic, because the goddess of Knowing Literally Everything That's Going to Happen said so.
But she is also the daughter of the mortal-born seventh Amazon tribe, the one who raised itself not from magical wonder but because Hippolyta and the women who rallied behind her raised their chin and said "fuck that, what's the point of being saved from an act of violence in a world where violence is systemic, I want real change, I want to be an Amazon too". Because of the incredible guts of all these women, even when Hippolyta spends the entire comic terrified, horrified or both. So yes, Diana is unique and blessed by the goddesses and super cool and powerful and she represents hope for the goddesses; but she is also hope for the mortals, not just Hippolyta but for the seventh tribe and the women in the world and the readers of the comic themselves, because she is an incarnation of hope and change born from the hands of a mortal woman who said enough and willed it into the world that her dreams would come true.
Anyway. Wonder Woman: Historia is an amazing Wonder Woman origin story, which is incredible considering she spends almost the entire story as a crystalized ball of dead baby soul stored in a bird.

finding out that a lot of people just want the badass warrior women with swords and are supremely uninterested in grappling with the many social and political issues the Amazonian struggle actually represents is super depressing btw
Erasing and sanitizing the Amazons' backstory does absolutely nothing to "promote feminism." It's important that they're the reincarnated souls of domestic violence victims and other women slain due to men's hatred. It's important that they were enslaved and oppressed by Heracles and his men and that they broke free with the goddesses' help.
It's important that we have a contrast between the peaceful isolationism of Themiscyra and the more violent interventionalism of Bana-Mighdall to showcase two different and equally valid responses to systemic violence and oppression. It's important that we acknowledge the Amazonian society-wide emphasis on love, peaceful cooperation, and diplomacy.
It's narratively important that Themiscyra is a peaceful utopia without crime and (non-combat related) violence and that Diana is the first Amazon born and raised completely apart from that aspect of Man's World.
The Amazons are not your girlbosses, and it's immensely frustrating that people would rather paint them as such instead of grappling with the critique of how society treats women and children that is baked into the Wonder Woman mythos.
