#was wrong

ANOTHER thought I am quickly becoming obsessed with is the fact that as Odysseus is being bombarded by the souls of the dead, the ones that come to haunt him are specifically the people he's GOTTEN killed, not that he's killed himself. For example we hear him worrying that he'll be haunted by the infant that HE killed, but almost all the souls that come to haunt him are the ones that he GOT killed. His friends, everyone that he was responsible for, hell even his mother died waiting for him to come home.

Odysseus thought the people he killed would make him a bad person. But getting his loved ones killed, turns out, makes you a lot more guilty and regretful than doing what it takes to survive. Like Zeus said, "The blood on your hands is something you won't lose. All you can choose is whose." There's more than one way to have blood on your hands. It's just about choosing the way that you can live with.

#epic the musical #epic the underworld saga #the underworld #you could go deeper into what that says about the morality of the world Odysseus inhabits #because the underworld is basically a giant stop sign smacking him in the face #saying all hes ever thought was right #was wrong #and then we realize that this is just an aspectbof his self actualization journey #and that weve come full circle into Odysseus's lesson of #marytrdom is bad kids #i just thought it was another cool little tidbit mr jalapeno added in there #ive been listening to the same three songs for about 48 hours now #still finding tiny tidbits that bring me several levels deeper into my brainrot

Why do you think Makoto using the NWP was the wrong thing to do? The despair states class 77-b were in was objectively bad and self destructive and removing them so they back to normal should be a good thing. Also I wouldn’t say what Makoto is doing with the NWP isn’t more brainwashing, it’s deprogramming.

I've talked a bit about my hatred for NWP and how it is used in DR2 here, but it really comes down to this:

Forcibly removing people's memories to make them better people is not the correct answer.

Forcibly removing people's memories and reverting them back to a previous state and then rewriting over those memories with new ones is not the right answer.

Especially when you take DR3 into account and that Makoto etc. didn't know about the brainwashing video or when the Remnants fell to despair, they're just making best guess scenarios and wiping out all of their time at Hope's Peak, which effectively means they are wiping out their memories of real Chiaki and replacing them with DR2!therapybot!Chiaki, which is NOT the correct answer, no matter how you slice it.

The end of DR3 is very good about this - you don't make people better by removing the bad thing. You don't make things better by removing the memories of your past, even if they're memories you regret or hate or don't want to ever address again ever. Those memories are still there. They're still important.

Removing memories is not an effective or even good way of deprogramming people who are brainwashed.

Makoto's luck kicked into full gear with all the stuff that happened in DR2 and the shutdown and getting the Remnants as we see them in DR3, which is not a result of them having their memories removed. They still have their memories and are able to recover.

And yeah. Brainwashing is maybe a stretch (it's Junko's word for it, after all) - but they are reaching into a group of people's heads and mucking around with their brains and making choices for who they want them to be and how they want them to be that way (no, no, you can't be Remnants, so we will remove everything that led to that development and make you into someone we want by meddling with your brain)....

Sounds a bit like brainwashing.

Not the way Junko did it, for sure.

Still sounds a bit like brainwashing.

Girl's got a point.

trying out different libraries today and i have to say, I now get why law students are the way they are

#this place is so depressing #whoever decided that post-soviet-esque big dour blocks #are an appealing design for a library #was wrong #i shan't ever take my regular library for granted ever again #mine

Okay it’s nice that everyone is happy about Grindledore and all but cmon I want analysis i want funny moments I don’t CARE about angst alright I want actual THOUGHTS ON THE MOVIE

#text post #textposts #shit post #why am i like this #latenightthoughts #secrets of dumbledore #fantastic beasts and where to find them #wtf #this whole movie felt anticlimactic #none of the characters were endearing enough for me to care besides Newt and Theseus #and kinda lally #but it was so many mediocre characters introduced at once #and no one has any sort of backstory that’s fleshed out #which is so annoying #also that quillin #was wrong #Dumbledore is not pure of heart or worthy of leading ANYONE #why are y’all acting weird just because his gay romance is finally cannon #like we KNEW #But that doesn’t make him a better person! #it just reminds us he’s a disaster gay with a Gray moral compass at best and I don’t trust him as far as I can throw him #can this movie stop painting him as an all knowing good guy savior???

I love Matilda because it's a story about a child who sees injustice around her and gets mad about it and questions why things aren't fair, and instead of the ending being that she learns how the world works and that life isn't fair, she catapults one of the adults who abused her out of a building with her mind

#matilda #my beloved #never stop getting mad about the things you see that are wrong in the world

I turn to Ares.

Thanks to Tyler Miles Lockett who allowed me to draw inspiration from his ARES piece for page 2! Look at his etsy page it's SICK

⚔️ If you want to read some queer retelling of arturian legends have a look at my webtoon

#greek mythology #ares #athena #greek gods #dont get me wrong it aint athena slander but it sure is ares praise #on some level at least #man justly accused of bad things deserves some mid praise more at 11 #thank you romi for helping me with words though i duly noted you insisted on ares not being cautious rather than him not being careful #romi be like “i want him to care” and honestly good you should say it #also EPIC led to this and i just..... i want to draw some animatics man i just need infinite time now #my long lost love for greek myths just will never stop coming and they dont stop coming and they dont stop coming #i want some vulture design in here for ares but not sure about this one #kochei doodles

Expertise can't help you here.

#dungeon meshi #kabru #laios touden #falin touden #Happy Thistle Thursday once again. Have I been holding on to this comic for several weeks? Sure have! #I forgot how long it takes for Chimera Falin to come into play. #I still really love my 'better drawn' art of her - unfortunately it was several weeks too early for the anime only folks. #Slowly getting the hang of drawing Laios. I don't know why I struggle so much but I am getting...somewhere. #Meta time: God damn I love how the chimera shows off the expertise and gap between Kabru and Laios. #The truth is: they are both *right* and they are both *wrong*. #This creature is a combination of monster and human and they only have the skillset to deal with one of those. #Kabru goes for all the human vitals - but she isn't human. #Laios tries to approach her as a monster and is struck down by the humanity he sees in her. #She is something new that defies what they *both* understand about the world. And that makes her such a perfect antagonist. #The damsel was the dragon all along! #...She is really so cute though. Terrifying! But adorable. I am so excited to see the boom of fanart for her.

"Kill them with kindness" WRONG. drop the opera house chandelier on them.

literally feels like a myth that there are people who don't struggle with basic tasks like getting out of bed or going to the shops or seeing a friend for coffee. how does everything not feel like a painstaking chore for them. how do they have the physical and emotional energy every single day
