Clementine!

Day #3 post op! First full day at home! I’m trying to do portraits of my progress each day.

Day #3 rundown:

I had to take my meds in an applesauce packet, but it was the worst tasting applesauce I ever had making me gag as I drank it. Doctors say today will be the worst of the swelling, and I hope so. Finally took my scope patch off so my ciliary muscles have begun to relax so I can read now so that’s a plus! Bruising is starting to happen so that’s SO fun! I’ll be back with updates later!

MORE WISDOM SAGA THOUGHTS

Calypso claims that “goddesses can’t die” and what does Athena do at the end of the saga? “Dies”! So Calypso foreshadows Athena’s return

during We’ll be Fine, Telemachus mirrors Odysseus when he first meets Athena by using the same rifts, and immediately claiming her as friend, I think this is why Athena is so moved, because she sees what she first saw in Odysseus in Telemachus

I've seen lots of people ranting about how Athena’s response to Aphrodite was kinda dumb. It was, and this was intentional because it shows just how little Athena knows about love, and how she learns by the end of the song what it truly means to care about someone

the end of God Games is is meant to mirror My Goodbye, in the sense which Odysseus and Athena’s relation ship is meant to be reflected in Athena and Zeus so now being attacked and disgraced by her father Athena feels sympathetic to Odysseus, who she left in a similar position after abandoning him

have you ever had dreams so in character they scared you awake?

I was in an apartment setting up my easel, when I heard the door knock, this gruff looking twink walked in and asked me who’s him.

I look behind me to find House posing dramatically on a stool, he simply turns to the man and says, “she’s doing nude stylings of me while fully clothes”

I’m so embarrassed but House kept taking and asked the guy, “lemme guess Italian twink who’s boyfriend works for the opposing gang?” And I laughed so hard I woke up

Tiresias sees a good year

It’s from that video Mason and Troy made

ME AND MY SIS!

Me and my sister are both so hyped for this next saga! I got into it when the Circe saga came out and roped her into it as well! Our family barely tolerates our insanity as we scream lines to each other across the house!

Something my sister pointed out to me

ok so in love in paradise while Ody is trying to jump off the cliff Calypso says something, she says...

"Stay in my open arms"

and then Polities starts singing Open Arms like in the Underworld Saga, then Anticlea, and then Eurylocus which made me cry. But the whole point was that Calypso said something that reminded Ody of everyone he lost...that made me cry today.

Dragna Sisters!

I got a sticker machine for Christmas, and I’m thinking of making one of this, would you guys buy it???

rip Walt Disney, you would've loved the idea of a transcontinental high-speed railroad system in the US

Yesssss @foolish-rat this is your pookie

i really love the idea of ryker being a "neutral" antagonist, just a guy working in the family business, has a wife and kids at home, accepted that he wasn't the best choice to become the chief/leader of the hunters so let his younger brother handle that, a "just doing my job" kind of man, a "i don't get paid enough for this" type guy.

the dragon riders start ruining operations and he's at home setting the table for dinner while complaining to his wife about work. he sees the riders in person and he gets a headache from how young they all are, bunch of toddlers on dragons. insufferable.

dagur joins the crew and ryker wants to file a workplace harassment complaint. he just wants to catch some dragons, earn some money, but now he has to deal with dragon riders and some maniac who's obsessed with one of them. why is he involved in this again??? they manage to capture some of the riders, but now he has a bunch of teens in the cells, and no idea what to do with them. they escape, so whatever, not his problem anymore. wait, they have the artifact? dammit.

i especially love if he's the only "normal" one in the room, like yeah of course he's pissed about the riders attacking his business, and he'll try to stop them, but he's nowhere on the level of alvin, dagur or krogan. he has hiccup captured and hiccup is very cagey around him, extremely wary, double snarky but hunched shoulders like he's expecting a punch. ryker is a bit confused about that, but hey, hiccup is a prisoner so of course he's gonna be wary, but then dagur tells him stories of what he and alvin used to do and ok yeah, he'd be cagey too if he was hiccup, because what the fuck.

i can just imagine the conversations between these two so well,

ryker: about the prisoner, any ideas?

dagur: we can toss him overboard near an island and watch him struggle in the cold water as he tries to swim to shore before dragging him back up like we're hunting him for sport

ryker:

ryker: i meant whether we would put him in the cells or the chambers, what in gods name is wrong with you

it's just we already have so many insane violent villains i just want someone to be Normal and have a stunned reaction to the shit the other bad guys are getting up to, and i feel family man ryker would fit that job perfectly.

More people should watch this show. It has my whole heart.

I’m making a silly power point for a college event, I think you guys will like what I have so far

Am I putting in more effort than I should? Probably.
