Noah Kahan is truly a genius of our time, because how does one manage to write songs that so perfectly convey the bittersweet feeling of returning to your hometown, and hating it? hating everyone there, feeling the roots of the person you used to be, and also the person that you could've been, all tangled up together like the knot your mother taught you to do in order to lace up your shoes?
If you have ever been tempted by a Paleozoic Pal, like a a stuffed trilobite or a full size eurypterid body pillow, now's the time to buy one, before they and a really lovely little museum are gone for good 😭😭😭
They're the same image your honour
No one:
The referees at the beginning of the third period:
I love how good the ithaca saga characterizes Penelope. And I'm not talking about her being super smart and disgusting loyal, I'm talking about her being so clearly SPARTAN.
Like this saga was so wild and Penelope the whole time was just like, "Oh.. anyways-". I genuinely never seen a character so unbothered by pure insanity in every song they are in (which was only two😭)
Penelope in the challenge: "A supernatural storm just appeared dangerously close to our kingdom in an instant and left just as fast.... My husband must be here!"
Odysseus in the final song: "I treated people as subhuman and murdered hundreds."
Penelope: "Can you pick up our wedding bed?"
Odysseus: "... did you not hea-"
Penelope: "No, I heard. Now pick up the bed."
Odysseus: "No! I worked so hard on that bed!"
Penelope: "Perfect! I still love you."
Odysseus: "I'm a mass murdere-"
Penelope: "And I breathe air. Who cares?"
(Bonus: Penelope was in her room listening to the dying screams of the suitors and was probably like, "Sounds like the boys are having fun😊.")
"Astynax (the infant) was quiet and didn't cry when Odysseus was holding him and was even smiling and reaching out for him, because Odysseus was wearing his helmet, so he must have thought it was his father, Hector, picking him up."
Me after reading this take:
Thought of the day: Eurylochus, Polites and Odysseus as Soldier, Poet, King
Some lil guys I drew (and created!) based on some very pretty earrings I saw:
odysseus: there’s no length i wouldn’t go, if it was you i had to save! i can only hope you’d do the same
eurylochus: *literally having a fucking panic attack*
