Am I about to break my state of perpetually-lurking-never-commenting/posting-on-this-website over the discourse going on about Wilbur from Meet the Robinson's date of birth? That is an excellent question. Anyhow,
Point 1.
I think it would be fitting for a time traveler character, specially one responsible for as many paradoxes as he helped create in the film, to have the most inconsistent date in the calendar, that comes and goes every couple of years, as a birthday.
Point 2.
2024 is a leap year, so it is plausible.
Point 3.
Look at this child. Look at this menace to society and tell me he has a normal day for a birthday. I dare you.
Point 4.
I thought I had more points.
I don't know, the idea of him being a leap year baby just makes sense to me for some reason.
Whatever the case, happy birth year(?) to Wilbur Robinson.
Damn, I'm old.

Meet the Robinsons things I think about way too often.
I love this movie so much and have been fixating on it for like a year now, so here are some unsolicited thoughts of mine about it.
-How Lewis was so affected by the countless rejections from potential families that, never, in twelve years, did he ever think that there was a possibility that his birth mother might have wanted him until Mildred brought it up.
-How Bud and Lucille got to spend one more day with their son as a child.
-How guilty and hurt Franny must have felt after making Lewis the offer to adopt him and then taking it back right after it was revealed to her who he really was, knowing just how much her husband wished to hear that a family wanted him after being turned down so many times as a child, and having to take that hope away seconds after, making her husband's younger self feel rejected once again.
-How Lewis looks at young Franny when they meet at the science fair.
-How Lewis built the memory scanner to try and find out what his mother looked like, and when it finally works, we see Lucille.
-How Cornelius most likely had to wait 17 whole years to see his best friend again.

Just rewatched Meet The Robinsons and one of my favourite moments is when Lewis is originally showing the machine and Wilbur is just looking at him in complete awe like "that's my dad".

My heart breaks every time I watch Franny Robinson tell the child version of her husband that *another* family is rejecting him
Yes, they want him! He鈥檚 so important to them. But I think she knows that to him, as he is? This is another family that doesn鈥檛 want him, that finds him lacking.
Franny met Lewis right as he met his forever parents, minutes after!! She built a large and expansive family with him, one that is loud but one that always wants each other. She knows how lonely and dejected he was at that age, how worn down he felt. How much love he had to give and how much love he felt he lacked.
Franny has to look Lewis at the age she met him and tell him this family can鈥檛 have him. She can鈥檛 even tell him why.

Underrated Percabeth moment. A reminder that Annabeth doesn't just tolerate Percy's humor, she loves him for it. At their most desperate, when they're close to death, when everything seems hopeless, he can still make her laugh.

I hate to say it, but Polites' death was even sadder than I first thought. Not only did he, Odysseus's best friend, die a horrible death, but his beliefs died with him. His song was all about convincing Odysseus to great the world with open arms, to be kind to his foes, but his death causes Odysseus to not only abandon those beliefs, but move in the complete opposite direction.
This is reinforced by "No longer you", with Tiresias telling Odysseus that the man who returns home isn't him anymore. That's because the old Odysseus, the one who believed in kindness and open arms, died with Polites, but the new Odysseus from "Monster" who believes in ruthlessness, in making it home no matter the cost, survives. He doesn't just become the monster, he destroys the other parts of him who believed what Polites did. In other words, Open arms Ody dies, but Ruthlessness is mercy Ody lives.
Sorry for the ramble but those are just my thoughts and interpretation of the Underworld Saga.

The "So much has changed but I'm the same, Yes I'm the same" to the "Then I'll become the Monster" pipeline is so brutal

Epic: The Underworld Saga
The Underworld Saga slaps. But I'm gonna drop another bucket of feels to The Underworld number.
Remember to get to the Underworld, you have to cross the River Styx. Odysseus is going by ship, but most of the time, it's just dead souls moving on to the afterlife, so they cross with Charon the Ferryman.
Thing is, though, you have to pay him.
Part of the burial rites in Ancient Greece was placing a coin in the mouth or near the body of the deceased so they could pay Charon to bring them across the river. No coin, no crossing.
Polites was killed by the Cyclops and left behind.
The 558 men drowned in the ocean after Poseidon's rampage.
His mother Anticlea drowned herself off the shores of Ithaka. (At least in versions of the story I remember. Somebody who's actually read The Odyssey will have more accurate information on her fate.)
None of them received a proper burial.
So all those souls they encounter in that number are trapped in limbo for eternity because they can't pay for the crossing.

Oh are we talking adorable percabeth headcanons? I got a great one.
At some point Percy notices that Aphrodite's appearance has stopped shifting. Instead, she looks exactly like Annabeth, but older - with crow's feet, laugh lines, even more gray streaks in her hair. Because getting to grow old with Annabeth is the most beautiful thing he can imagine.
thanks for the ask @standardissueplottwist!
this is so sweet i鈥檓 gonna cry. this is so incredibly accurate. he just wants to grow old with her 馃槶
