"Astynax (the infant) was quiet and didn't cry when Odysseus was holding him and was even smiling and reaching out for him, because Odysseus was wearing his helmet, so he must have thought it was his father, Hector, picking him up."

Me after reading this take:

I DIDNT THINK YOU WOULD 😭

ride the cyclone fan. gripping your shoulders. Mischa is NOT stupid. he's not an idiot. he is canonically a polyglot, fluent in English, Ukrainian, Russian, and some Dutch. He is a poet, a lyricist, a media analyst, and a GOOD one at that (even if he gets the movie title wrong). he is thoughtful and smart, and YOU have a bias against people who do not speak English as a first language, even if it means you disregard canon characterization for a punchline to a bad and overdone joke.

So hi I gotta say something.

I’m on RTC TikTok bc of how much content I posted/interacted with for our Majestic Rep production. There’s a production of Cyclone, I believe it’s a high school production, and I am seeing a relatively regular amount of users sharing videos of this production and ridiculing the performers, making fun of them, and genuinely being bullies to these performers & this production. I personally think that’s pretty messed up as these are children/teens. Like, honestly and truly how would you feel if your high school’s production made the rounds and dozens of people across the country/possibly the world were making fun of you? Personally I’d feel pretty shitty.

These are young performers, they’re still learning, we are all growing and they are presumably at the beginning of their journey. Y’all gotta realize that, these are people at the end of the day- young people who are taking the scary leap of performing a show that is VERY difficult for even most adults to do. I really hope that none of them have seen the hate bc if that were me as a little high schooler I would have felt humiliated and probably would’ve given up immediately.

There’s no reason to be hating on a HS production or ANY production for that matter. We’re performers, we do this bc we want to share the stories, we want to entertain, they didn’t hurt anyone. They’re just kids playing make believe for an audience.

Point blank period: you can have your opinions, but it’s never okay to bully people. We have got to do better y’all.

i feel like a trembling little mouse with a sword
