I'm Sorry You Had To See This

odysseus absolutely does present a threat to penelope if he perceives her as at all unfaithful, and i feel the unfairness of this, and i think people tend to undersell how much tension at least potentially exists between odysseus and penelope. but i'm also like. his reaction, all speculation aside, his actual reaction in the odyssey to her flirting with the suitors is delight, because he immediately ascertains that she is running a con. sorry that they're so in-sync in spite of the forces that try to drive a wedge between them, including their own misgiving hearts. sorry that they invented homophrosyne ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

oh, you meant they literally did, ok

would i, tumblr user thee odysseyofhomer, lie to you?

this is the only funny addition to this post

What's so wonderful about Buffy the Vampire Slayer as a show, is that it's got it's own built in vetting system. Essentially; if you can't handle the downright ridiculous cheesiness of season 1, you do not deserve the brilliance of season 5.

you used to be able to play games on cartoonnetwork.com . . . now every company's website wants to give you spyware and spread corporate propaganda but I REMEMBER when you could play a BEN 10 adventure game in-browser without so much as giving away your e-mail. people's heads should be on pikes for this

The youth are lost

Not in a million years would I have ever thought of this

being a shauna fan is so easy i get to enjoy the most complex and awful female character ever written and i don’t even have to worry about her dying. she protects her own life with how awful she is. and even if she did die it would be a win because i’d get to witness callie eating her. and she’s played by melanie lynskey

Every photo of Johnny Cash and Bob Dylan together looks like a a respectable mafia boss father named Giovanni and his weird son who bites sometimes

Yeahhhh, you're right

had to edit the "young" off this bc i'm not a coward and i still would. Will

who up wanting to change things that can't be changed

Scream this is iconic….

Watching the mummy 1999 for shits and giggles, thought it'd be fun to bitch abt the inaccurate hieroglyphs now that I know smth abt all that. Disappointed and disgusted to find out that they hired an egyptologist consultant and the hieroglyphs are actually well done. Night ruined

I love when fanfic authors are freakishly unhinged. "Yes, hello, I am here to write a heart wrenching story about relationships and mortality. My medium is Ducktales (2017)"

i think some of you dont like narratives or stories or characters i think you just like fanfiction tropes

protagonists can and will be sexist, racist, insensitive, cruel, stupid, etc, especially towards the beginning of a story. these are called character flaws and they are a surprise tool that will lead to narrative fulfillment later

And sometimes "narrative fulfillment" doesn't mean "the character overcomes their flaws" or even "the antihero is punished for their flaws"! sometimes it means the narrative says "wow was that fucked up or what? anyway i'm rod sterling"

I don't think the current "depiction = endorsement" crowd will ever be able to understand this.

I love movies where the plot takes place in less than a day. It’s like. What if these people were experiencing the worst 8 hours of the entire lives and you got to see the highlight reel?

hate when people say "oh actually that's not a dragon that's a wyvern" a wyvern is literally a type of dragon. it's like saying "oh that's not a bird that's a pigeon"

we need to talk abt the power scaling problem in playing pretend :/
