life in death or something like that
Abandoned factory
(Athena, disguised as a man, to Telemachus)
“Tell me now— are you Odysseus’ son? You are so tall!”
✋it’s the way she never misses the opportunity to point out that Odysseus is short
(Telemachus to Athena, who is disguised as a man)
“Dear guest, i will be frank with you. My mother
says that I am his son, but I cannot
be sure, since no one knows his own begetting.
I wish I were the son of someone lucky,
who could grow old at home with all his wealth.
Instead the most unlucky man alive
is said to be my father— since you ask.”
TELEMACHUS WHAT? “Since you ask” my ass. This is the first time he’s ever spoken to this man (Athena) and he is laying it all out on him (her).
I know that that’s because this is how the audience learns information but that doesn’t make Telemachus any less mopey. This man is so done with everything, he even tells Athena multiple times that he doesn’t believe Odysseus is alive anymore. BAHAHAH perf. No notes, diva 💅
LMAO ‘Don’t tell my mommy, but I’m running away guys >:3’ scene from Telemachus in Book 2
“… My friends! Come on, let us go fetch the rations;
they are ready in the hall.
But quietly— my mother does not know…”
Oh Telemachus you teenaged (early 20s) rebel
Fairies when they say they know a place:
On the cusp of fall, meet me inside the wired gazebo and we’ll start a scrapbook for the different leaves we find
RIP Telemachus you would’ve loved Taylor Swift’s Who’s Afraid of Little Old Me
