Im sorry but it is so funny how people outside of tumblr view us. Like why are the tiktokers treating tumblr like some professional ass website you need to do extensive prep before you begin posting on. And the follower farming advice is so fucking funny to me when this is the website where people actively hate getting new followers

I don’t think I’ll write another poem about far-off azure skies or refugee clouds…. You stand at my side in noon’s bleaching light.

I simply fix my eyes on you, thinking it’s enough if I believe — not in either flowers or birds but in your fathomless love.

- Tachihara Michizō, “Noon Again” from Of Dawn, of Dusk

My peak comedy moment

Something I just realized, Odysseus calls Telemachus by his name throughout Act I. Then when he get back to Ithaca, anytime he references Telemachus he calls him a familial title.

“… and hurt my boy”

“You plotted to kill my son”

“Son.”

“Oh my son look how much you’ve grown. Oh my boy, sweetest joy I’ve known.”

“My son I’m finally home!”

Then he calls his son by name while they embrace.

“Telemachus. I’m home.”

I just think it’s interesting. It’s like he’s reminding himself of what his son‘s name is throughout the Trojan War and his journey home.

When he gets back, he’s letting everyone know he’s claiming Telemachus, and reminding the suitors that Telemachus is his son, and he is Telemachus’ father.

Finally, the first time he calls Telemachus by his name, is after the two of them have rekindled their relationship. (I Can’t Help But Wonder is basically the two of them sharing how he views the other.)

Happy Chuu Day '25!
