i watched one (1) video on how to draw hands that changed my life forever. like. i can suddenly draw hands again
these were all drawn without reference btw. i can just. Understand Hands now (for the most part, im sure theres definitely inaccuracies). im a little baffled
not my meme but you all do know about this right? It feels like it's getting buried right now and I feel like its proponents are trying to take advantage of that.
To follow up on this post, it would be so freaking funny if when Annabeth is telling Percy about Odysseus/the Odyssey, the screen cuts to an actual depiction of the narration, and Jay Herrans as Ody is like standing at the bow of the ship and pointing ahead and stuff and they're singing Full Speed Ahead. Cut back to Percabeth, and Percy's like, "...why are they singing?" I would p e r i s h
but truly the idea that melinoë has idealized hypnos as this mysterious sleeping beauty throughout her entire life is SO funny to me. 'oh, son of nyx.... i wonder what you dream about... i may never understand you' then it cuts to hypnos' head where this is going on
I find it incredibly funny from a meta/author perspective, that Ancient Greece decided to name their protagonist that angers many people “Anger Bringer” but, even funnier, is the in universe understating that anyone who meets Odysseus must have had the thought “oh dear, how unfortunate to be named hateful/hated” and then they have exactly One conversation with him and go “Ah I see now”
For reference, Odysseus’ name sounds very much like the Greek word odussomai, which can roughly mean “I am angry at” or “I am the cause of anger” (or simply “to hate” or “to dismiss”), a fact that is used for ironic effect frequently in the Odyssey.
It’s also specifically stated in Book 19 that Odysseus’ grandfather, a master thief and one who has also pissed off a lot of people, specifically named him this because “I am disliked by many, all across the world, and I dislike them back. So name the child Odysseus.” 19.428
Bro looked at his grandson and thought “Ahaha, this one’s going to be a troublemaker like me. Better get him started early.”
It’s like a terrible allegory for cause and effect or something.
