The Telegony goes against what the Odyssey tells us not only because of Tiresias' Prophecy but also because Odysseus' family line only has one son each.

Zeus made our line a line of only sons. Arcesius had only one son, Laertes, and Laertes had only one son, Odysseus, and I am Odysseus’ only son. He fathered me, he left me behind at home, and from me he got no joy.

(Book 16, Fagles)

Telegonus can't even realistically BE Odysseus' son as he already has Telemachus. The Only son

I’m just hoping people won’t ruin Buddie for me by slapping on BuckTommy. Cause we still have so many great Buddie moments besides other beautiful storylines. Yes i’m a buddie shipper and a great fan of BuckTommy and i’m just enjoying both. The Buddie and the BuckTommy moments, but making all the BuckTommy moments be about Buddie is starting to annoy me.

Okay to everyone in the rw sunstone tag making 'bug' being a petname from suns to pebbles i hope you know youre facking killing me.

Do you have any idea the implications of that is if you kept the facking bug maze convo??? Imagine being pebbles and having this special someone you care so much about give you this lil affectionate petname thats only for YOU! Probably like one of the few happy things in your life as an undying suffering god.

Only for that special name to be used as a throwaway line. You are burnt out you are tired you are in pain and you seek help from the person you care about right? And suns being the dense dumbass they are just went 'oh yeah burn out, stress, existential dread its all stupid and pointless, but eh nothing you can do about it' like NO THAT DOES NOT HELP IN THE FIRST PLACE

And yeah im aware of how suns sounds like theyre downplaying pebbles stress hard. Theyre like 'yeah this is something all of us went through, dont be so hung up about it, thats stupid'. That would hurt!! You wouldn't expect that from someone you care about and youre just... nodding along because THEY said it, so it must be right in a sense right? Their opinion weigh something to you right so you DO consider it.

Then the facker had to slap in the bug maze thing. Thats like insult to injury. Why are you tying the lil happy special meaning of a name to something so facking dreadful. If suns calls pebbles 'bug' again now all he can think about is HIM. BEING THE BUG ON THE MAZE. THE STUPID BUG ON THE MAZE. And idk man that'll fack me up a lil bit.

btw this might be me swinging a bat at a hornets nest but like. absolutely none of my disappointment from the tl finale comes from ship baiting or any relationships that didn’t happen (though to be clear, i think the tedbecca fake outs were meanspirited and served no narrative purpose - in noted contrast to the season's earlier jamiekeeley fakeouts, for example, which were explicitly there to demonstrate jamie's growth + maturity)

tedpendant is a really fun concept for me, and i LOVE the characterisation + thematic potential there!

but as someone who personally resonated with a lot of ted’s struggles, the idea that ted could leave richmond so… seamlessly, for lack of a better word, really doesn’t sit right with me. the thesis of the shows entire first season - assuming it can be said to have only one - was about how everyone needs the love and support of a community, whether that comes in the flavour of someone who hypes u tf up or someone who will relentlessly call u on ur shit (or, as happened quite frequently, both!).

rebecca, roy, jamie are the clearest examples as the characters with the most screentime: they were all deeply isolated and disconnected from the people around them, and that was making them miserable. the connections they made with the team, the vulnerability they finally allowed themselves to express (the ghost banishing ceremony comes to mind!), and them going on to want *more* out of their life are what made their arcs about *progression* rather than *regression*. without that clear theme of compassion + community inspiring positive growth in everyone who encounters it, there is, frankly, no season one.

my personal favourite scene from season one comes right after michelle walks away from ted, when they’ve agreed to get divorced. ted sits down on the bench looking gutted, and a little shell shocked - and beard sits down with him. hands him the drink, and they sit there together. silent, but together. to me, that scene is an implicit promise from the episode, to the audience: ‘it’ll be okay. it’s going to be hard, but ted isn’t alone, and his friends won’t leave him behind.’

it also makes it clear to the audience that ted isn’t the saintly-giver-of-grace who needs nothing in return, as one might assume on first brush, but rather that he’s Also struggling with his own shit (as is everyone, always, in real life!) and he has something he needs from the people around him too.

and looking at the text of s3, and the conclusion to his arc in the finale, i just don’t believe that he got it. he wasn’t just sad that he was leaving (which would be understandable!), he was completely closed off. unresponsive to the people around him reaching out, borderline confused as to why they were trying so hard!

(side note, while i completely respect the read of ted and trents last interaction being rather rude + ooc on ted’s part, i personally read a different motive into it. for me, it was more like… he didn’t understand where trents enthusiasm was coming from? like, he read that as trent being too invested in what other people think of him, and responded in a way that he hoped would emphasise that ted doesn’t *need* to laugh at everything trent wrote, bc trent Already Knows that he’s done something really cool and kickass, and he shouldn’t value anyone else’s reactions above that. basically, based on his demeanour in the episode, i genuinely don’t think it would’ve even occurred to him that trent was more invested in HIS reaction than he would’ve been with anyone else.)

again, looking purely at the text, the show had already established that ted has really strong depressive + avoidant tendencies, as well as panic attacks (largely triggered by his fear of not being ‘good enough’ in various roles, ie: a father). we saw one area he was able to calm HIMSELF abt these fears (worry for henry, which is a Hell of a choice considering the ending…), but in literally every other heightened moment, he had to rely on his support system to help him make the choices that he WANTED to make, rather than ones inspired by avoidance and fear (ie: confronting michelle abt jake, talking to his mum abt why she was visiting + his dads death).

and to be clear, this is a GOOD THING! we’re not supposed to go through life alone, no matter how bad OR well we’re doing. rebecca and keeleys friendship isn’t worth less for all the scenes where they’re both in good places. if anything, the opposite is true - it’s lovely that they both have someone who want to celebrate the achievements in their life!

and fuck it, we’re sure as hell not supposed to go through life with exactly one (1) person whom we expect to fulfill ALL of our emotional needs at all times either! like, im sure i don’t need to labour my point here, but tying everything to one (1) person in ur life doesn’t make u any less isolated than if u were going it completely alone, whether it’s a family member, a friend, or a partner. i won’t pretend to know the first thing abt what it’s like to be a parent, but i don’t think it’s unreasonable to say that no parent would be at their best if they had absolutely no support/camaraderie/general love provided to them from Anyone other than their child.

so when ted is SPECIFICALLY shown to be in a bad place, over and over again (did he come to terms w his fear to be close to henry overnight???????), and then removed from his community? of COURSE the audience is left feeling unsettled, and like the rug has been pulled out from under them. there was no time in this finale dedicated to how ted would still be in contact with anyone from richmond. no promises of visits, or phone calls - fuck, nothing about emails!! according to the text, we might as well assume this is a clean break (and the maybe-dream-sequence does Fuck All to assure us otherwise. if ted doesn’t go to beards wedding, what WOULD he go to????). and since the show has ALSO completely failed to give us even an IMPLICATION of who/what ted’s support system would be in kansas, there’s… a reasonable argument to be made that this is It for ted. that, after two seasons doing NOTHING but attesting otherwise, the audience is supposed to suddenly believe that ted can (and SHOULD!) pull himself up by his bootstraps, and cope entirely on his own.

that, to me, is a betrayal of the show’s premise. we were promised a show about how, no matter how dark things may get, none of the characters would be left to struggle alone. and then they ended the show with ted alone.

i don’t know. i guess if i had to give this post a tldr; if anyone has any gen fic/meta/Literally Anything in the pipeline, i would absolutely love to be tagged/directed towards it. i’ll be endeavouring to write something myself, as well, but it might take a while before i can return to my WIP, lol.

Okay I've been way too obsessed with @campwillowpeakk lately and I'm so excited to see where it goes~! Gotta say the characters are too cute not to draw so I hope I did em justice with these doodles! Nearly impossible to pick a fav out of them all so I ended up doing all of them lmao

Keep up the great work and thanks so much for working on such a cool project! can't wait to make more fanart as we get to know more about this lovely hopefully-not-murdered cast!

*confused crying*

Rayyyyy they're being mean to the British baby againnn

Moon's going on a killing spree based on WORD OF MOUTH IMPLICATIONS from A VILLAIN who would FIND ENJOYMENT IN WATCHING HIM RUN AROUND IN LITTLE CIRCLES. THEY HAVE ZERO EVIDENCE AGAINST HIM ASIDE FROM CIRCUMSTANCIAL AND HIM BEING A QUIRKY LIL MAN

Poor Sun trying to talk him down, too- @ikamigami was right (at least I think it was them) Moon is paranoid and going off the deep end

I'm on the verge of making a "the canon is not real if I do not look at it" AU so I can pretend the AU is canon and my babies can be happy

Blorbos confiscated. If they can't play nice with their own characters, then they can't play with them anymore :(

(insert free invitation to rant at me)

I WILL GLADLY TAKE THAT RAJT INVITATION MY DEAR FRIEND (oh my gosh I haven't followed you hsve I 😭 AAAAAH GONNA FIX THAT IM SKRRY AH)

This'll be a little long so, the whole rant and ramble is under cut hehe

MY ROSE TINTED GLASSES HAVE BEEN SHATTERED DUDE 😭

I refuse to accept canon as canon so- *drags over RJ AU Ruin Eclipse* THEY ARE THE CANON RUIN NOW I DON'T MAKE THE RULES

BUT TO BE FAIR... I've noticed a few things that should've been a glaring red flag to Ruin still being a little off the rails I guess-

It's a thing we love about them and it makes then unique i guess... but.. but THEIR ACCEPT STAYING THE SAME SHOULD'VE BEEN A GIVEAWAY THE MOMENT THEY CAME BACK ONLINE AFTER REBOOTING

We've HEARD the actuals Ruin Eclipse before on.. very few occasions.. BUT WE HAVE HEARD THEM! (In the episode where Ruin rescued Foxy and the first Interview with Jigsaw) it wasn't for a long time but... the ACTUAL Ruin Eclipse had talked through Ruin on few occasions.

Linking them below here

With this ^ one, I think that when they start chanting "save me" it was already Jigsaw back in full control.

BUT WHAT I MEANT! Do we hear a poor british accent in any of these instances? NO WE DO NOT!

With this one v

I'm not sure what this one meant. When the video first came out I thought we were hearing Ruin Sun and Moon talking through Ruin who was going on and on about needing to get back to connection and internet..

I mean.. from the Ruin DLC, we know they can probably seperate and talk for themselves?? As seen with Sun who thanked Cassie after being rebooted into Eclipse. (Yes I'm dragging the canon dca into this, Ruin WAS based on that DCA itteration after all..)

And what do we hear when Ruin gets rebooted?

RUIN'S BRITISH ACCENT! I'm probably looking too deep into just how their voice sounded at first vs now... by all means they could've changed their voice over time (as was seen with Puppet). But... I dunno... if they really were just playing everyone a fool this whole time.. I don't think the voice is something we should overlook.

Granted... I believe a lot of things with Ruin may have been retconned or rewritten after the DLC came out. (As canon Eclipse acte nothing like the teams Ruin at the time)

ANYWHO WHY DID I DRAG THIS BEAN OVER HERE YOU ASK? *gestures to RJ AU Ruin Eclipse* well!

Because of a little theory and hc of mine I've slapped onto them! The antivirus DID NOT get rid of the virus as a whole. RJ Ruin Clipsy over here needs to take periodical dosages of the cure to keep the virus at bay and chip away at it to finally be rid of it!

That... that's what I'm gonna hold onto as the reasoning behind how Ruin acts. The actual Eclipse (and even Sun and Moon) is still somewhere in there. As seen in the clips listed above.

Just- PLEASE I NEED THEM HERE W/ ME

I know many of us are feeling incredibly helpless right now in relation to Palestine/watching a genocide…I had a thought and I want to share it, especially for my fellow white American followers who probably also are trying to unpack the white supremacy we grew up in and look at the world from a more decolonized lens. These are ideas I have learned over the past several years mainly from following Black and brown creators but haven’t seen many white leftists discussing.

There isn’t a quick, easy solution to get those in power to listen and stop a genocide. But there ARE everyday things you can do to help the communities around you. Maybe those are things that will directly help Palestinians, maybe they’re not. But they matter, and I think now is a good opportunity to recognize areas where we could be doing more.

I don’t really have answers, just suggestions I can make based on my experiences as a disabled and trans person, and from listening to queer, disabled Black and brown people. Wearing masks and taking steps to mitigate COVID is something simple you can do (COVID disproportionately affects BIPOC communities, as well as the LGBTQ community, all of which struggle to access health care…it also has a higher chance of killing/further disabling people who are already disabled). Join mutual aid networks, or maybe start them at protests. My area is so, so very red but some of the most help I’ve seen happen has been through mutual aid. And I feel like this has been said a million times but learn to be quiet and listen to Black and brown people. That is often the most valuable thing we can do.

Someone has probably said this more eloquently, but I think we need to realize that what’s happening in Palestine — and the other genocide happening right now — are based in white supremacy. We can’t just “fix”/stop one issue and be done with it; we have to look at the root of the problem.

Again, I don’t have all the answers; more than anything, I just have a lot of thoughts that I haven’t seen expressed specifically among white leftists, so I just felt like putting this out there.

Please feel free to add suggestions for actions we can take. Anyone perpetuating any forms of bigotry will be blocked.

We all know what Sun does to help a sick reader, but what’s moons way of taking care of Y/N?

Pretty similar, all things considered!

Except, well, with the added factor that he's out at nights, so a sick Y/N that is also awake is on very thin ice. But otherwise he's there, taking over meals, watching them like a hawk, and buying anything they might need and don't have at home already.

He's not as much of a cook as Sun (who learned pretty much only because he's over the top and needs to be prepared "for all sorts of undercover missions, you never know!" - he just likes making things and needed an excuse, really), so there's a reason reverse Moon tends to prepare cold, easy meals for Y/N - and canon Moon does the same. It's still good! Just not quite as elaborate as a hot meal. Also much more easily tempted into ordering take-out because he's weak and a softie, so if Y/N puts on the sick puppy eyes? He'll hesitate for decorum, them grumble and order while Y/N grins like a cheshire cat.

Absolutely the type to enforce rest and sleep. He doesn't care about their usual schedule, because right now they're sick, and need all the rest they can get - will threaten to lie on top of them to make them stay where it's cozy. Y/N's impulsive "Bet" results in a very happy cat of an animatronic and a more or less disgruntled Y/N. He's not crushing them, just... A weighted blanket you can't push away.

Likes staying close not just for the cuddle opportunities though. Whenever Y/N may grow restless, he's already alert, ready to softly mumble a "Need something?" and then fetch whatever it is he gets as a reply. Water, a little snack, a bucket or a thermal pack - they name it, he gets it. Sometimes, all they ask for is a different cuddle position, and then he pulls them into his arms instead. Makes sure they're comfy, but resting close against his chassis, and, well... He does have that "purring" function, a low, vibrating hum that is just incredibly relaxing. Cats purr to heal - and he does the same <3

This is all a post-reveal Moon with Y/N - pre-reveal, Dusk is severely limited in how he can show concern without tipping the balance of what they have. "Overtime" is a good example of that dynamic - concern masked as banter, but still pushing all the right buttons to ensure that Robin goes home to rest, even though he can't be there and do more.

Both Sun and Moon like being there just so they are always aware of changing health and needs, Moon's just always the one bringing sleepy bitch disease into the mix <3
