I need SOMEONE to make a atla Zuko edit to "Would that I" by Hozier bc??

you can't tell me that's not literally his character

GUYS

I think I've improved enough. I should redraw that one painting of Odysseus covered in blood

PLEASE DO IT OH MY GOD

He's serving

WOLFY WHO IS THIS

The mischaracterization of people from PJO is so funny, but ESPECIALLY from HOO onward like.

“Hazel’s such an innocent little angel. She’s always nice and kind and confused.”

Hazel, who’s always ready to fight in the same way Percy is? Hazel, who made it explicitly clear she probably would’ve rocked Octavian’s shit had he not been blackmailing her? Who gets so angry on behalf of the people she loves, to the point where she doesn’t forgive those who have wronged them? Who Percy described as cursing up a storm in one of their first interactions? Who’s been shown time and time again to be FAST to anger? That Hazel?

Or Nico, who’s “a misunderstood emo. A small bean. Cute like a wet cat and innocent like a bunny.”

Nico, who’s cannonically described by most characters as “scary and unnerving?” Nico, who, for a long time, is one of the angriest characters in the series? Who’s only sassy and sarcastic because it took him FOUR YEARS to mellow out? Who’s described as being one of the most powerful demigods, who a lot of people still consider the scariest? Who’s come into his own as a character from TTC to TSATS? That Nico?

Or Annabeth who’s, “cold and calculating. Doesn’t show emotion or express herself”

Annabeth, who’s the most expressive person in the series? Who cries in EVERY book in the OG series? Whether it be for Luke, or Thalia, or Percy, or Chiron, or a literal DOG? Who expresses passion like no other when it comes to architecture and her other interests? Who’s expressed compassion for people she didn’t know? People who at times posed a threat to her? Who isn’t afraid to be angry, or happy, or snide, or rude, or excited, or scared, or ecstatic? Who’s been unapologetically herself since the moment the series started? That’s who doesn’t show emotion? That’s Annabeth?

THIS

I’m like, personally offended that achilles wasnt in the underworld saga at all. the conversation he has with odysseus is really fun.

this segment from the odyssey is really cool, this is the first thing Achilles says to Odysseus in the underworld. He characterizes Odysseus by his wits, and simultaneously refers to him as “Incorrigible”.

from here

Achilles and Odysseus are parallels. Achilles knew from the beginning he was never going to return home, and Odysseus’s journey home is literally Fucking Cursed to be deadly and dangerous. They are the mortal parallels to Ares and Athena, Wrath and Strategy. They are one in the same, and all too different.

here is another screenshot from that website describing odysseus and achilles’ conversation.

Yeah i just really like them.

Honestly I would have loved to have a whole song, separate from "The Underworld", where Odysseus actually speaks with everyone like he did in the Odyssey. Achilles, Agamemnon, Heracles...

But alas, EPIC is an adaptation, and not always a completely faithful one.

Specifically, though, the whole Anticleia scene; I wanted the chance for her to say,

A. S. Kline

If we're going with the "Odysseus needs to shed his kindness" theme, as we are in EPIC, I think it would have made a poignant song.

ohhhhh the way I want to write a whole essay on the parallels between achilles and odysseus because there are sooooo many of them and things I can draw from oh my lord the thoughts I am having @prompted-wordsmith someone tell me to write it. jesus fuck

rewatched atla

took me a minute to read the text in the back but when I say I cackled

omg so we have 1 seeing dog and 1 blind dog and whenever there's a toy they both want, the seeing dog takes it and just...stands very still. immobile. she KNOWS he will try to wrestle it from her but she has figured out that if she does not squeak it, then he will not find it. leading to this.

"god....grant me the strength to not squeak the squeaky toy"

on the floor sobbing

Him🗡️

oh nooo he's hot

did i tell u guys i got into an argument on twitter bc i said foxes are dogs and someone tried to bring up their actual fuckin. classification or whatever and i just said “foxes are dogs cause they are fluffye” and they kept arguing with me. the entire time i was like “you will not survive the immigration to tumblr you are lucky we are not there right now”

This is especially funny because they aren’t even right. Foxes *ARE* dogs.

No they aren’t.

yes they are. because they are fluffye.

OK yes they are.

Dog

Dog

Different family, but same order as @pictures-of-dogs

No, they are the same family. They are the same kingdom, phylum, order and family. They separate at the genus.

They’re a dog.

yeah they’re fluffye

theyre literally not dogs theyre not even fluffy. can we get science tumblr over hear or what!?

checkmate athiests

fluffye

okay but they literally are dogs, for those who are confused

If foxes are dogs, then so are wolves, coyotes, dingoes, jackals, and several other extant and extinct species.

Behold! A dog.

of course it’s a dog you buffoon. it’s fluffye.

Why on earth would someone think “BUT IF THEY’RE DOGS SO AR -”

Like yes of course wolves are dogs, where have you been. Jackals are excellent doggies! So are coyotes. Why is this confusing.

I love that this is literally two completely different arguments running simultaneously.

That guy up there who said they’re not even fluffy was thinking of sharks

sharks are also dogs. ravenous water dogs, but still dogs

Sharks can NOT be dogs they are SMOOTH

Tags via @jenroses

sharks are smooth dogs

BEHOLD, a SHARK

@official-megumin

Nice shark

im gonna start fucking throwing shit at the walls

so what you're saying is a fox is a dog and a dog is a shark but smooth but you can have a smooth dog that's a shark but not a fluffy shark that's a dog and also foxes are dogs but if foxes are dogs then foxes are also sharks ?? ffFUCK

every once in a while, i think of that scene in moa when annabeth and percy are being dragged toward the pit. and annabeth blacks out in pain for a minute or so. which means there is a two-minute window of percy falling deeper and deeper into the pit while holding onto an unconscious annabeth.

*slams hands aggressively on table* I VOLUNTEER

five episodes in and percy has already tried to sacrifice himself twice. he truly believes he is supposed to die.

Kaz fucking Brekker??? What are you doing in my book.

He's in the walls..

HE'S IN THE

GODD*MN

WALLS--

I'm sorry...KETCHUP??

this country is going to the dogs

I will fight you

actually pull up??

Like who took a look at the perfection that is Mac n cheese and decided "yk what this needs? Tomatoes and sugar"

BE SO FR

AS A BLACK SOUTHERN GIRLIE THIS OFFENDS ME DEEPLY

Have you ever had tomato soup and grilled cheese?

I can't even begin to express how irrelevant this question is

Those are two COMPLETELY DIFFERENT THINGS.

Tomato soup and grilled cheese is a classic. Ketchup and Mac n cheese is a war crime equivalent to premeditated genocide. They are not the same.

"hAvE yOu eVeR hAd tOmAtO sOuP aNd gRiLLeD cHeEsE" don't piss me off

It’s a similar taste profile.

that is the most ridiculous sequence of words you could possibly have put together.

some things should stay in hell where they belong
