Abluepaperghost - Into The Blue

apollo and his toxic fanbase

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.

whats your defeat falls au about like..... is ford evil? is he lying to the family? what happpned after he fell into the portal instead of fiddlford?

ABOUT DEFEAT FALLS LORE

I will slowly explain the essence of my universe, because they often ask questions about what is the point!

The point is that Ford realized his capabilities due to the fact that he SAW what was hidden behind the portal. In this universe, he took fate into his own hands and outwitted Bill, defeating him in the realm of nightmares, slowly spreading his power. Due to the fact that Ford never called Stanley for help, Stan took up repairing the portal much later than in the original universe (gf series), besides Fiddleford remained healthy and joined Stanley in repairing the portal, but they repaired it thirty-three years later. Pines twins (Dipper and Mabel) had been visiting their uncle for three years in a row, but they also remained in the dark about their uncle’s twin brother until the incident with federal agents happened.

The conflict between Stanley and Stanford resolved itself, because Stanford had long ago let go of his childhood resentment for a spoiled project and was unspeakably glad to return home, for which he had big plans, dimensions would not capture themselves. Well, Bill, Bill does not want Ford to continue spreading the news about his shameful loss, and therefore he decides to stop Ford before it’s too late.
