okay okay idea- someone needs to make a family sticom about Penelope, Telemachus and Odysseus where it's just them doing family shenanigans!

Odysseus and Telemachus would be the father-son duo that causes chaos and then Penelope has to get them out of trouble-

Eumaeus would be the stinky Uncle character, Eurycleia the auntie (that's so done with everyones shit but is still really nice) and Iphthime and Ctimene could be the characters that only appear like- once every 2 seasons- (whenever they show up it's a good time)

Like imagine a family reunion episode where even Hermes shows up and it's all just chaos

An Ithaca sitcom would scratch my brain so good 😔

(I'd also like to hear if you have any ideas for this concept, that is if you wanna :D)

I've actually thought about this and an Ithacan Royal family modern sitcom would definitely be more like the Adams Family.

"These guys are weird and kind of scary but they love each other very much."

I think it'd be hella fun if it's Penelope and Odysseus kind of being scam artists or something and instead of them being "creepy" like in the Adams Family, it's more like their sketchy and lil shitheads!

Penelope: Bye, sweetie! Make sure to pack ibuprofen and your switchblade! Telemachus: Mom, they don't allow knives at school. Penelope: That's why I sewed those secret pockets in your clothes! Better safe than sorry!

and stuff like

Odysseus and Penelope, looking at Telemachus sternly: "What did you do wrong?" Telemachus, sighing: "I got caught forging your signatures." Odysseus: "Exactly. You know I always dot my i's with a slant. Practice it again."

That type of stuff!:D

The HOA hates them because they are constantly doing projects. "What do you mean I need a license to do this? It's our fucking house!"

They're the most insane cheerleaders of Telemachus at his little league games. (Hermione is a softball girl. I can feel it. I think Menelaus would coach.)

Silly things like that! :D

I had this silly post a while back that's "modern au" so stuff l like this too

Today is the 265th anniversary of the birth of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, one of the most prolific and influential composers in history. To celebrate, here’s a short excerpt from his early opera Idomeneo. In this scene, the Trojan princess Ilia (Janai Brugger), who in the aftermath of the Trojan War has been brought to Crete as a prisoner, thinks of her beloved Idamante — a Cretan, which is a bit of a problem under the circumstances — and asks the breezes to carry her love to him.

All of my Tumblrs are tagging archives, but as this blog is the first of many, it's seen tons of Fandoms.

This is my main blog, my 'fandom of the week' kind of blog. Where all my recent fixations are reblogged. The reason why my separate blogs exist is to have a different kind of tagging archive or for me to be insane in alt. accounts

I've had this Tumblr since 2017.

this blog is also a reblog cesspool. I may tag some posts here if I wish to catalog them into different tagging sections. If you want me to tag something please DM/send me an ask.

BYF

I do more reblog content here rather than original content, as I think I don't have anything to say in a platform like Tumblr. I also take a long time (or maybe never) to answer asks, so sorry if your ask will forever be stuck in the abyss that is the inbox. I just don't know how to answer them. I barely know how to make meta posts or character analysis, so good luck getting those out of me. I also move on from fandoms easily, so if that's not your kind of thing, you can move on.

Me and @idamante got silly

Odysseus' youtube "apology video to Poseidon" would just be him staring into the camera for like 3 seconds before he flips the camera off. Penelope would come into view, go up behind him, wrap her arms around his shoulders, kiss his cheek, and then give the most scathing insults in the sweetest voice.

In the background you can see Telemachus trying to teach Grandpa Laertes how to do a fortnite dance not realizing Gramps is passed out on the couch.

WOLFGANG AMADEUS MOZART’S IDOMENEO AT LA SCALA, JUNE 4, 2019

To kill one's own son/daughter as an offering to a god. There's a literature on that, from Abraham and Isaac to Agamemnon and Iphigenia, all the way to Stannis Baratheon and Shireen Baratheon (and obviously Melisandre the sorceress). Idomeneo deals with this topic. Besides, it's a mature masterpiece of Mozart's, hence there's no doubt it's a rich, multifaceted, ambiguous object which can (and will) originate a large number of different paths. (Here's a sketch of the storyline anyway. Fighting for his life in the middle of a thunderstorm at sea, King Idomeneo promises Neptune that, should he land safe and sound in Crete, he is going to sacrifice the first mortal he meets there. He lands and he immediately meets his son Idamante. He doesn't really want to comply, but a gruesome sea monster starts to raid the island and terrify and eat people in turn...). This iteration of Idomeneo came with ups and downs. To me, the most notable down of all consisted in the musical grayness of the performance; the orchestra conducted by Diego Fasolis was way too even, constant, mechanical in terms of pace, phrasing, volumes, hues. If I had to pick a sample, I'd go with the great scene that involves Ilia and Idamante (who love each other and are trying to overcome some apparently ill-fated circumstances) at the beginning of Act III.

It's a long sequence which features a number of breathtaking moments, but very little seemed to happen this time around. (I'd say this specific Idomeneo fared better when depicting and expressing wrath, terror, tempests, and annihilation—essentially in the style of Giuseppe Verdi's Requiem). As far as narration is concerned, the new production created by Matthias Hartmann (with Volker Hintermeier, Malte Lübben, Mathias Märker as set/costume/light designers respectively) was rather plain and monotonous. Apart from paying homage to the Minotaur (also from Crete) and making good use of a fog machine, the staging made a point of presenting the main characters as regular guys. Ilia and Elettra (her rival for Idamante's heart) are just two girls. Idamante, a devoted son. Idomeneo a father who struggles to keep his job. (Everything got a little more colorful toward the end. The unexpected placement of the whole deus ex machina thing [including the bone-chilling three-trombone train] made it a compelling, rightfully otherworldly apparition. And I'm a fan of Diego Fasolis's stand against leaving out the extended dance detour right before the finale. The outcome made me think of a decidedly mild/optimistic version of Le Sacre du printemps; still it was interesting, refreshing, and absolutely welcome).

„Idomeneo” de Mozart

La 29 ianuarie 1781, la Teatrul Cuvilliés (Residenz) din München se prezintă cu succes opera Idomeneo a lui Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart.

Idomeneo, re di Creta ossia Ilia e Idamante (Idomeneo, regele Cretei sau Ilia și Idamante) este o operă în trei…
