Athena with odysseus: surprise attacking odysseus and bodily slamming him to palace walls (for awareness training). Randomly kidnapping him from the palace to drop him in the woods (or the ocean or on two memorable occasions on a completely different island) (survival training), using her full strength in sparing matches (odysseus has many broken bones) dragging him up by his wrist so they're face to face. Not being careful with how often she uses quick thought or any of her other powers (what? He seems fine. She's sure odysseus has always been a freak it's definitely not brain damage it's/fine/hes /fine)
Athena with telemachus, after she accidentally knocked him out once: right right odysseus and penelope taught me how to do this when they had me babysit you. Gotta be gentle so so gentle. Gotta support the head gotta craddle humans not yank them up by the wrist (she knew odysseus was a freak why didn't he say anything??) Can't just funnel her full power into the kid gotta be so gentle.

I never got into Harry Potter, but I have a lot more respect for someone who can say “these books were an important part of my life, but I recognize the pain and harm that comes from supporting them, so I’m making an effort to stop engaging with them” versus someone who’s like “lol the books were always bad, I don’t have to worry about boycotting them because I have Good Taste.”
Like, if you think you never have to think critically about the things you like because you only engage with “Good Art,” then that’s awfully convenient

"AT THIS POINT, JAPANESE BANDS WERE ILLUSIVE, OBSCURE, AND COMPLETELY ALIEN TO WESTERN ENGLISH SPEAKERS."
PIC(S) INFO: Part 1 of 2 -- Spotlight on Japanese hardcore punk band GAUZE✝, performing live at the Sir George Robey in Finsbury Park, London, UK (their first ever London gig), on August 13, 1989. 📸: Richard Short.
Vocals: Fugu
Guitar: Momorin
Bass guitar: Shin
Drums: Hiko
OVERVIEW: "When GAUZE landed on UK soil for a brief tour in August of 1989, British audiences were largely unprepared for what they were about to experience. At this point, Japanese bands were illusive, obscure and completely alien to Western English speakers. Only the truly dedicated enthusiasts of the genre with an insatiable appetite for discovering the extreme would become enlightened of these otherworldly groups from the East Pacific.
Most UK punks were completely unfamiliar with GAUZE, as GAUZE's releases were hard to find with only limited distribution in the UK. By all accounts, the gigs were sparsely attended. But the few who did bear witness to GAUZE during the tour convey how the explosive energy of GAUZE's live performance made a lasting impression.
However, other than several live tracks recorded at their Scotland gig and photos from the tour appearing on their "限界は何処だ" album from 1991, there is very little documentation of the 1989 tour. One of the lucky ones to witness the tour was Richard Short from Birmingham, who was fortunate enough to have his camera with him that night. He took some wild photos, capturing the power of GAUZE live, which he's allowed to be published here."
