everything is everywhere

and the real thing about this is that he also looks like Just Some Guy. here in kansas, he isn’t some Big Premier League Football Coach that all of english football fans know about. here in kansas, he looks like every run-of-the-mill yeehaw dad you’d see everywhere around town. this is the guy you’d expect to show up at in your parent-teacher conferences. but that’s the point. if someone had gone up to meet ted for the first time in that moment, he would have looked like Just Some Guy, but that person wouldn’t have known his whole lore. that he’s actually a hero to someone somewhere, that he made a gigantic impact in so many people’s lives for the better. you can look at someone ordinary and have no idea about the extraordinary things they have done for others. we all look ordinary on the outside, but there is a whole world inside of us. it’s like we just read a whole book (trent’s book) about how it only takes One Guy to leave a positive ripple effect for everyone he’s met and you wouldn’t even know it!!! and he is starting a new journey of all of this with his son’s team.

You can justify anything if you do it poetically enough.

An alternate cover for my wip portfolio… this is SONG OF ACHILLES by the amazing Madeline Miller.

I adore this book and CIRCE is possibly even better.

It also happens to be one of the most faithful adaptations of the Iliad/Greek mythology I have ever seen, that actually mentions and gives narrative weight to the major players and follows the major points of the story beat for beat.
