its extremely important to read widely and deeply in a variety of genres. read obscure self published shit that only 4 people have read. read culturally relevant works of literature that have helped shape the canon. read horror. read women's lit. read historical fiction and comedies and nonfiction and hentai and poetry and science fiction and fantasy and mysteries and romance and good things and bad things and things u hate and things you love and things you COULD like if only the author changed x y and z and things which are beautiful but not meant for you.

doing all of this reading will lay a groundwork of rich complexity in your heart. so that you can write really good porn

The Trojan War, for Odysseus, starts with the dropping of an infant, and ends with the dropping of an infant.

TROY MUSICAL ANNOUNCED NEVER KILL YOURSELF

[paigetics]

ough i just remembered how devastating that little snippet was that he sung of Paris asking Aphrodite to guide him to tell Helen what she wants to hear i fear ill never be ready

[paigetics]

can't wait for Jorge to grace us with more hits like 'i kill with ease that's why they call me achilles' in the new musical

[paigetics]

Jorge really said from Ithica to Ilium ;;

Sometimes I remember that Odysseus and Penelope had spent more time apart than together by the time he got home and I need to lie on the floor.

um guys, I think we need to stop waiting for ‘the right time’ and just start doing the things we want whenever because the right time’s never gonna come, and if we keep waiting it’s just gonna turn into an endless cycle

being in academia is kind of like where you're on everest and you see the frozen bodies of the other people who've tried it strewn about everywhere and you think "okay, but that's them and i'm me"

as much as I enjoy recreationally hating on Agamemnon I gotta say. If the gods made me sacrifice my daughter over a war I’m not coming back empty handed. I’m taking everything that isn’t nailed down. I’m taking a hammer and ripping out the nails to get what was nailed down. My child died for this I refuse to allow that to be in vain in any possible way, we going full scorched earth boys.

[at Achilles's funeral] Agamemnon: *places his hand on the pyre and sobs* Agamemnon: How could you do this to me? We are so understaffed.

Nothing in this world is funnier to me than when achilles tries to convince the myrmidons to not kill iphigenia and in response they all boo and throw rocks at him like he’s a shitty jester

Perimedes and Elpenor cut songs will never not be funny to me. Just massive "and then there’s whatever the hell these guys have going on" energy— like in the middle of *gestures vaguely to everything* Jorge was like, "now hold on, let’s take a break to check in on the clowns."
