Ah, Well Shit. This Is Gonna Hit Me In The Face Aint It?

Thats so cool!

You Are Odysseus

So

I’m a teacher of Classical Civilisation that has taught the Odyssey for over a decade and studied pretty much every myth and story with Odysseus in it.. I think

and I’m writing an Interactive Fiction (choose your own path) version of the Odyssey, inspired by the Homeric phrase “he turned his great heart this way and that”, where you are Odysseus, allowing you to follow his decisions or make your own

and it already has 500 sections to it - written to emulate modern translations of the Odyssey, including the literary features of simile, formula, epithet, and the rest - and 21 different ways to die, and quite a lot of period and theme-appropriate alternatives

(and if I get time, the option to be Telemachus or Penelope, although that might have to wait because it’s already a monster)

and I’ve tested what I’ve made so far on my pupils, other Classics teachers, and some of the leading (and best-read) Greek Mythology podcasters and YouTubers, all of whom have universally loved it (yay!)

(EDIT: Oops and I presented on it at the Classical Association conference last year)

I’m trying to finish it this summer, but need a bit of encouragement to do so

EDIT: and I forgot to say that ideally I’m planning on it being a beautiful BOOK with an old-fashioned cover and lots of ribbons to mark your place ❤️ (ex-bookseller ofc)

so, please let me know if you’d like to know more!

Im sorry, WHAT?! OH GOD OK.

I ... this could go good, this could go bad. Also, shouldn't he be like ... 8 at max?

Assuming the battle of Lothal took place arpund Rogue 1 and or just before the battle of Yavin. Endor took place 4 ABY and mando was 5 years after that. Assuming maybe a year has taken place between the start of Mando and the start of Ahsoka, and assuming Twileks have a similar gestation period to humans. Hes like 9 max.

WHAT IS A 9 YEAR OLD DOING IN THE MIDDLE OF A POSSIBLE WAR?

Also, mad respect, because that means Hera did the rebellion PREGNANT and a MOM TO A NEWBORN, which ... damn girl mad fuckin respect.

WAKE UP BABE NEW JACEN SYNDULLA POSTER DROPPED

The Mandalorian is literally a story about a supporting character.

Here are main characters, Bo-Katan and Ahsoka, hunting down big bads like Gideon and Thrawn, and Din is like “that’s nice, I’m just trying to find a really good preschool for my child” AND THAT IS HILARIOUS I AM FROTHING AT THE MOUTH WANTING TO KNOW THE MAIN FUCKING STORYLINE AND DIN IS REFUSING TO ENGAGE. HE IS LEGIT LIKE “not fucking today, not my fucking division” AND DRIVES OFF IN HIS SHITTY HONDA CIVIC WITH HIS GREMLIN CHILD THAT HAS ANGER ISSUES.

Yooooo, thats fuckin rad

“Hello and welcome to the official kick off post for the Villainous Tarot Project! We're putting together a tarot deck inspired by #villaino

The Villainous Tarot project is officially off the ground! It is a fan based project that will create a deck of tarot cards, and donate all proceeds to the Trevor Project. If you are an artist please check this out. It is a great opportunity to show off what you can do while raising money for a great cause. If you are not, and still want to find out what all the hype is about, come on over and see what we are doing! Also, if people could pass this along, that would be excellent!
