this whole thing was so loosely run and rife with misinformation the phone being the devil made you sleep through the day

i keep thinking about the odyssey i am THINKING about wei wuxian as odysseus. you were dead. its been years since you’ve seen your family. the child you left behind is almost a man. you wear a face they don’t recognise, you sneak in through the back door. the dog gives your identity away. the world knows it’s you when you draw your weapon. the person you love recognises you by the original symbol of your love—a secret that no one else in the world knows about, still, because they kept it safe for all these years. you get the chance to go back and despite everything, you found home waiting for you; he kept your place and raised your son and he was still there waiting for you when you got back. tell me o muse, about a complicated man i am extremely not okay

Behold exhibit A:
Achilles, what are you looking at, hmm? It can't be your bestie's CONSIDERABLE package, can it?
Exhibit B:
Oh yes tell us again how much you like your bf's monster schlong, bb boy
Exhibit C:
Dreamt of what? His therapon's IMPRESSIVE manhood and might, you say? *furiously taking notes*

Once again, I rest my case 😌

Some artists that I think Arthur would really like cuz I'm kinda bored(aka, an excuse to show art history):
John Singer Sargent (1856-1925):
John Singer Sargent is an icon and his composition is legendary. He wasn't that focused on very intense detail as he was with form and it's amazing what he was able to do. Eye catching, yet unrendered. Realistic, yet simplistic. Though he paintings were phenomenal, I think Arthur would enjoy his charcoal portraits the most, though. They are so beautiful and I feel like Arthur would be fascinated by how Sargent was able to use tones to give the allusion of detail rather than actually drawing out the detail. I think Arthur would adore how Sargent made them feel so real with how simplistic the composition is.
Thomas Moran (1837-1926):
Thomas Moran is a landscape artist whose main muse was the vast American frontier. His most famous paintings are that of Yellowstone National Park and the gorgeous Grand Canyon. His oil paintings are colorful and vibrant and have so much emotion to them. Given that Arthur is often outdoors and is super connected to nature, he'd probably really enjoy Moran's oil paintings of higher elevation like canyons and mountains.
Alexandre Cabanel (1823-1889):
Alexandre Cabanel is a portrait artist who created some of the most iconic oil paintings to have ever graced our eyes. His academic style of painting focused a lot on detail and precise rendering, unlike Sargent. Given the general gloominess and the melodrama of his oil paintings, I feel like Arthur would really like the figures that Cabanel painted, especially considering how emotional they are. Arthur, being emotionally repressed, might connect even more with them because of it. Cabanel was a damn genius.
Ulysses S. Grant (1822-1825):
I know some of y'all are like "what the hell is Civil War hero and US President Ulysses S. Grant doing on this list?" Well, cuz he was a pretty dope artist too. In the few drawings we have from him, his main medium seems to be watercolor and his watercolor drawings are really unique. They focused more on composition than detail and they remind me so much of Arthur's own drawings, except they are in watercolor rather than lead or charcoal. I think Arthur might also enjoy how personal they all feel and how simplistic.
Winslow Homer (1836-1910):
Homer was an impressionist painter whose main muse was the everyday man and woman. His oil paintings are vibrant and full of life as they depict the everyday life of workers rather than people of leisure. Unrendered strokes from the brush put so much personality into the paintings and even life. Beautiful and bright paintings, all of them, but I feel like Arthur would connect most with the ones that depict land rather than the ones that depict water.

that's also part of what makes aeneid iii so good I feel like, the nightmarish way they're not just trapped wandering through the ocean but also through the aftereffects of both the events of homer and homer's poetic world itself. the characters are ensnared by the genre into re encountering their past (both personal trauma and narrative tradition) again and again, as a part of an ancient literary map they can't get out of. the book itself is a sort of flooded world, awash with both the ruins of troy and the bones of homer's poetic corpse
