Some assholes on Instagram saying that Epic fans are "gaslighting" themselves about Odysseus being faithful to Penelope because of the Circe part and being pretentious about it and how we are stupid for considering The Odyssey romantic

Motherfucker

1. The Odyssey is an epic poem we all fucking know that? That it's a tragedy, technically comedy (comedy in ancient literature used to mean "happy ending", not funny stuff)

2. The Circe bit can be interpreted in different ways, as if it was fully consensual or not or just a transaction. There was still a difference in power dynamics, which was 100% mentioned by Calypso in the beginning, but if you choose to ignore that part if the same as saying some of Zeus' kids were ok to be conceived because the women agreeded to what A GOD wanted.

3. Obviously Epic!Odysseus is differente from Homer!Odysseus, but trying to say Homer! Odysseus is a horrible person that fully wanted to cheat on Penelope just because you want to defend ALEXANDER HAMILTON, i have bad news about you.

4. "The crew had to beg to go back!" I read the Odyssey too. As a child and a few days ago. They stayed on Circe's island to rest so Odysseus job as a captain was literally wait until his crew told him they were ready to leave, specially after what they have lived. Odysseus didnt force anyone to stay in that island, when the crew went "oh, sir, we miss our families, please lets go back now, yes?" Odysseus immediately said "ok". It literally felt like a father waiting for the kids to stop playing in the playground.

5. Homer!Odysseus is not perfect, at all (man killed his disloyal maids because he didnt want to deal with shit anymore, even if they also were coerced/raped by the suitors), but come with a better gotcha than Circe. You are just fixiated on the Telegony and it shows.

6. Idk what to tell you, but if you think renouncing a life with two inmortal godesses (one of whom offered you immortality), traveling for 10 years defying a God's rage, killing 108 men who wanted to marry your wife (and ruined your house), almost killed yourself when said wife rejected you only for her to go "haha i was just testing you, silly :)", have your literally marriage have a word created for you two specifically is not romantic... Idk go read Bridgerton

Hello Poseidon lover nation, here’s a peace offering to you all🔥‼️

im full of rage and dangerously stupid but god is holding me back by the scruff of my neck like a kitten

The Dragon Prince goes "everyone you love with your whole heart has deeply hurt someone else, everyone who has deeply hurt you has people who fiercely love them" and refuses to ever budge momentarily from it.

fuck pronouns and adjectives. what are your verbs. mine are screaming and dying.

"how do you smooch a robot with a flat face lol what do you get out of it they can't kiss you back"

LISTEN

it's not about whether they can kiss you back! it's about the intent!! it's about the passion!!! this being that shouldn't be able to feel love or want or desire does, and they feel it for YOU! and they're expressing that in the clearest way they're able! for you!!!

and trust me, when your stomach is fluttery with feelings, and your heart clenches painfully with need, and something deep in your gut burns and yearns, it won't matter that they can't mechanically copy the sensation of a kiss; all that matters is that little point of connection where figurative or even literal sparks fly!
