Watched The Return. Movie looked gorgeous and the actors were good, but dear god I haven’t been this disappointed in a while.

Odysseus and Telemachus Slaughter the Suitors of Penelope
In ZA, I need us to fight alongside emmet to get Ingo back and grant a wish, but it’s a race against time against Volo who wants to hard reset the world or meet god. How is he in future France? Idk he mentioned how he’d spend centuries trying to find arceus so I’m gonna go with that. I can dream.
yall please don’t have an epic meltdown. This is honestly for the better, it being Christmas Eve and all that. Enjoy the food and family, or enjoy however you are doing right now!!!
The Iliad is a wonderful epic filled with super cool fight scenes, stealth missions, and gut wrenching sadness, but there’s this one moment that lives in my head rent free for absolutely no reason aside from slight amusement.
Not sure which book(chapter) it is, but there is a scene in which Achilles has completed his mourning over Patroclus, and if I’m not mistaken, Achilles was there for twelve days and did not eat or drink anything. Trust me this is important.
Achilles goes and he tells his mates (Ody, Menelaus, etc) that he’s gonna go out and absolutely rip Hector a new one.
Before he goes out though, Odysseus stops him and I kid you not, for at minimum half a page, our boy Odysseus goes on a whole MONOLOGUE about how important breakfast is, and how Achilles needs to at least have some meat and wine before he tears through the Trojan army and turns Hector into his personal ragdoll.
And if I’m not mistaken, Odysseus actually gets Achilles to eat before he leaves. What a guy, getting Achilles to listen to him.
Now go eat breakfast like Homer intended, dear readers. If the great, swift footed Achilles needs to eat breakfast, so do you.

I desperately need to and WANT to finish reading The Odyssey, and I want to see Odysseus properly reunite with Penelope and Telemachus. I want to see him kill the suitors so badly and regain his home. Despite this I don’t want the book to end. I have four books (chapters) left but I dread finally closing the book.
Wild and wacky feeling if I do say so myself. I’ll probably finish it this week and then ugly cry about it.
Portuguese Man O’ War Poseidon where his hair is spindly blue and pink, and he’s got a shoulder piece that looks like the body.
i see your octopus Poseidon and raise you:

Plagued by the 600 souls of my fleet
Am I going crazy or does thw beginning of Odysseus’ part in 600 strike sound a bit like the beginning of Athena’s verse in Little Wolf?
Like… “I don’t think you seem to get it” sounds similar to “I’ve no respect for bullies”…
Who knows I guess.
