sometimes i wonder if we have forgotten that sharing creative work is, fundamentally, a bid for human connection. like I'm not posting art or fic for 'engagement' i'm posting it looking for other sickos to play with! i'd be making it anyway for my own gratification because there's something wrong with me, i'm sharing it hoping we can have something wrong with us together <3

The fact that I can't think of any big Odyssey adaptations that include Nausicaa makes me so sad and frustrated.

Because Nausicaa and Arete are really important if you look at the Odyssey with gendered politics in mind.

Odysseus' success and failures boil down to essentially 2 things- the loyalty/disloyalty of his men, and the favor/hostility of powerful women.

Circe is deadly foe and then key ally after being overpowered. Calypso acts benevolent but keeps Odysseus trapped. Scylla and the Sirens both represent the feminine as a natural disaster, unreasonable, unconquerable, maybe survivable if you keep your distance.

Penelope is Odysseus' goal, but could also be his final undoing, as Clytemnestra was to Agamenmon.

And of course, Athena, patron goddess and guide.

And then you have Nausicaa. Odysseus washes up on her shores, naked and alone, mirroring Calypso. But Nausicaa does not exploit his vulnerability- she deftly understands the potential politics at play and assists Odysseus while granting him his dignity. With her help he wins over Arete, the real power behind the throne, and he is granted the highest hospitality and, at last, a way home. They stand as a foil and a mirror with many of the other women in the Odyssey- what is the proper role of a noble woman? How to wield that power in a way that is helpful and just, noble and kind.

Odysseus has seen so much deception and betrayal since leaving Troy. He has been warned that Penelope might mirror her cousin, clytemnestra, and be disloyal. She might need to be overpowered, like Circe. She might seek to control and emasculated him, like Calypso. OR, she could be like Nausicaa and Arete- powerful, but kind, hospitable and dignified. (As she is like Athena- clever and skillful.)

And I just feel like leaving Nausicaa and Arete out of adaptions, we lose a lot of the cultural nuance surrounding women that the Odyssey can let us dig into.

I try not to fall into the "I never liked their work anyway" ditch when an artist/creator reveals themself to be a terrible person

BUT

a feeling I do have and will stand by is "While I enjoyed their work overall I did have some gripes that I overlooked out of affection and whimsy, but now that my loyalty is gone and my affection tainted there is nothing holding me back from enumerating my many grievances, to which the revelations of the creator's shittiness may or may not provide a new and infuriating context."

#such a good summation of this actually#because yeah there’s usually things that were always present#but which were easy to overlook or give the benefit of the doubt#that suddenly become relevant after a revelation about the creator#and it’s really not the same thing as the self-defensive “’I never liked it anyway’

Breaking my several year harry potter silence just to say that in the Apollo Justice Trilogy, they removed the harry potter reference they originally had in the game. Which means that if you still consume hp content and talk about it, you are doing worse than fucking capcom

tallsuperstar

@endigolikesarson In the original, for the running joke regarding Valant and doors, Apollo calls Valant a muggle

While in the remaster, he says this which is way funnier even without the baggage

Everyone reblogging this post saying stuff like "they probably changed it because of copyright/dated reference" NEEDS to know that 1. There are multiple references to Doctor Who and Star Trek and a character probably named after someone from Battlestar Galactica of all things and 2. The lead writer for the localization stuff with Ace Attorney uses they/them pronouns.

there should be a federal program that provides and requires new drivers to drive a super safe super small car for their first year of driverdom. i’m thinking small enough to easily navigate and avoid too many passengers, with rubber bumpers for safety and a bright colorful paint job to ensure high visibility

new drivers should be given a federally mandated clown car

the kids are calling them "stone fruits." they start off small—think cherries. then they're hooked and they need a quick fix, they get peaches, maybe some nectarines. it's all they can think about. before you know it, they're trying the really hard stuff—apricots, plums. once they taste a mango there's no going back.

woke up this morning, rolled over, and very confidently tried to blow out my alarm clock like a candle. absolutely no precedent for that.

In the year 1450 a priest rolls over and slams his hand into his candle, burning him and sending wax flying all over the place

Reading the Wikipedia pages for 1910s films is like

"Made on a budget of $75, the film was an unexpected smash hit, selling out theaters across the country. Thought lost after a vault fire in Paris in 1954, a full print was discovered in a Brazilian nursing home in 2013, where it was being used as a doorstop."
