Psycean task: when someone has something you need and they make it really difficult to get, all the while being unnecessarily bitchy about everything.
Antigonian task: when someone does something fundamental bad (and a bit stupid) and you take it upon yourself to do something about it, regardless of the consequences, you will have to face.
Medean task: (1)when you do everything, sacrifice everything for someone and they thank you by stabbing you in the back. (2)when someone betrays you and cut them down to size.
Medusean task: when you’re trying so hard to be left alone and people just don’t seem to get the message.
Ismenean task: when you do too little to late and desperately try to salvage the situation (and failing miserably)
the fact that we only have “herculean task” and “sisyphean task” feels so limiting. so here’s a few more tasks for your repertoire
icarian task: when you have a task you know you’re going to fail at anyways, so why not have some fun with it before it all comes crashing down
cassandrean task: when you have to deal with people you KNOW won’t listen to you, despite having accurate information, and having to watch them fumble about when you told them the solution from the start (most often witnessed in customer service)

white lgbt westerners will make endless excuses for their ignorance, for their racist and sexist and homophobic behaviour because they were never taught anything in school, they’ve never seen a world map until they were 23 years old despite having access to the internet their entire lives, because they grew up in a conservative family and everyone has a nazi phase as a teenager so really what’s the big deal? but if someone living in the largest concentration camp ever built has a homophobic thought in their head that’s grounds for them and their entire people to be genocided. you people treat yourselves like adult infants who should be given endless amounts of second chances while baying for the blood of Palestinians. genuinely you make me sick. I want no part of your homonationalism, you are a fascist and your quirky little queer identity does not in any way take away from that
oh yeah i never posted this huh. i love you fig faeth.
