It Has Taken Me 6 Weeks To Read Books 8 And 9 Of The Iliad Because I Procrastinated So Hard

It has taken me 6 weeks to read books 8 and 9 of the iliad because I procrastinated so hard

I read book 10, in school, in 20 minutes

Take from that what you will

My (little to no context) reaction to the thunder saga 💛💛💛💛💛💛

Suffering

. PENELOPE OMG

. I need to calm down

. Of course he does?

. WHAT

. SIRENS????

. AAAHAJDJEJWN

. Daughter??

. They're so adorable

. Is it sirens...

. Of course, of course, hypothetically

. "Oh no" JSNSJW

. It's not sirens

. Is it?

. He's so silly

. "The things I do for you" down baddd

Different beast

. "Let's cut the charades, you are no wife of mine" tfff

. Packs??

. SIRENS!!

. OF COURSE HE'S NOT SCARED OF WATER

. God why did I think he had a daughter

. And how did they do that?? Just casually kill a bunch of sirens

. Just tell your whole life story then

. And plan?? ODYSSEUS HAVE YOU LEARNED NOTHING

. Damnnn okay he did NOT come to play

. Who's voicing the sirens? Heavenly voices

. Woah Odysseus

. Different beast indeed

. "Kill them all" I mean, fair enough 🤷‍♀️

Scylla

. "This is our only way home"

. Ooo the line we heard

. Eurylochous knowsss

. HE OPENED THE WIND BAGGGG

. EURYLOCHUS SORRY IS NOT ENOUGH

. "Full speed ahead"

. Odyssey respond now please, I'm getting nervous

. "Light up 6 torches" um, whyyy (I know the Odyssey and... oh god, I'm worried)

. "Hello."

. The instrumental?? Animatics are about to go crazyyy

. "ROW FOR YOUR LIVES"

. "DROWN IN YOUR SORROW AND TEARS"

. Her voice is hellish /pos

. They're the same???

. Oh my godd

Mutiny

. LUCK RUNS OUT AAA

. Eurylochus already knows

. "This is all some tricks the gods have sent"

. The snippet...

. I'm gonna cry

. Don't test me

. Sounds like a boss battle

. "IF YOU WANT ALL THE POWER YOU MUST CARRY ALL THE BLAME"

. SHITTTTT

. 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭 NOOOOOOO

. His teams turning against him

. What... happened

. Whatt

. Not the cows

. BRO YOU HAVE ONE JOB

. "please dont tell me your about to do what I think your going to do"

. LUCK RUNS OUT I'M CRYING DUDE

. "How much longer must I suffer now"

. THE CREW?!!?!

. Odysseus is STILL so hopeful

. J-just... JUST A MAN

. Eurylochus you IDIOT

. Friends um okay

. "FULL SPEED AHEAD"

Thunder bringer

. I'm so excited for this one ngl

. It's definitely gonna be like ruthlessness

. Instrumental goes harddd

. "Pride is a damsel in distress" that distress was sooo

. It's so funny imagining him monologuing whilst the crew are terrified (it's actually really sad)

. Oh well... we do know they'd lose

. "I wonder who'd take the weight of the damned"

. This is so epic but I kinda wanna shake ass to it

. Huh

. NOOOO

. HE CHOSE TO KILL HIS CREW, NOT ZEUSSS

. HE CHOOSES😃😀🙂🥲😢😭😭😭

. DON'T MAKE HIM DO IT

. CMON I MEAN LIKE

. I hate this

. I hate you Jay 😔 I hate you

. I just can't

. What the actual fuck is wrong with you Jay

. The worst part is Odysseus doesnt consider for a singular second that he should choose his crew

. All bangers but at what cost

. AT WHAT COST

Anyways, my history teacher was talking to us about the Treaty of Versailles and to introduce us he asked if any of us were swifties and played 'Don't blame me' by Taylor Swift.

So basically, the best lesson of my life.

When someone asks what my favourite musicals are and I have to tell them it's 2 musicals that aren't even fully written yet, set in the ancient world, and my updates about them are primarily from tiktok...
