This But Id Like To Add That With The Amount Of Greek Gods On Troys Side Who Were Salty About The Loss,

This but I’d like to add that with the amount of Greek gods on Troy’s side who were salty about the loss, there’s no way that they would’ve let Astyanax be peacefully raised by Odysseus.

The gods would’ve, as Zeus put it, 100% have let Astyanax know that his real father is Hector, who was killed alongside the rest of the kingdom by the side Odysseus was on. That he was being raised by the man who (unintentionally) started the Trojan war that got his people killed.

That alone could’ve been enough to make Astyanax lose his shit, but I’d imagine the gods would’ve done some even more fucked up stuff to make sure that Astyanax is brutal when he gets his revenge, making it as tragic as possible.

So, as awful as it was, Odysseus’s best bet was to kill Astyanax. You can’t be sure that Astyanax would’ve had mercy for Odysseus because he spared his life and raised him from infancy when the gods could easily poison his mind.

"Odysseus could have raised Astyanax as his own son! He shouldn't have killed him! Zeus is just an idiot who doesn't understand anything about children!"

Imagine you are Astyanx. Imagine that one day, you discover that your father, the man you thought was your father, is actually the murderer of your real father, who stole you from your cradle. Imagine that for years, you see your father lying to everyone, but the thought never crossed your mind that he might be lying to you. How do you know he didn't take you to ensure Troy would have no heir to the crown? That he took you to one day make you a puppet king in Troy for him? He's such a good liar, how do you know he wasn't lying when he looked you in the eye and said, "I love you, my son."

You know that your father—no, he's not your father, never was—did terrible things, but it never crossed your mind that you were one of the terrible things he did. You are a Trojan prince. You are Hector's son. You are not a little orphan from the battlefield that Odysseus took pity on. Odysseus destroyed your city. Odysseus lied to you. Odysseus has manipulated you. And Odysseus will PAY.

So many Greek tragedies tell about exactly this - about the attempt to prevent a tragedy, and about how the attempt failed, just as the gods and prophets had warned. If Astyanax had stayed alive, he would have murdered Odysseus' family no matter what Odysseus did, because that's how Greek tragedies work.

and yes, zeus suck.

Losing hope in the jjk manga honestly..

Why tf is everything so goddamn rushed? Can we let things breathe for like 5 minutes? You can’t just skip over important scenes for characters and have a paragraph of text explain what happened. Stop telling me what happened SHOW ME. I never expected Gojo to get out of this fight alive but you’re telling me he got off screened and was like ‘guys Sukuna is actually so much stronger than me and I died with no regrets lol!’ THERE WAS NO INDICATION OF THAT ANYWHERE IN THE PREVIOUS CHAPTERS. AND THEY DIDNT EVEN SHOW THE ATTACK THAT KILLED HIM?

And they don’t show any reactions of the characters who just fucking lost their teacher and friend? Some probably take it as a sign of Gojo coming back but I really doubt it. Gege just doesn’t give a shit about pacing this right and giving a good send off to characters. He’s just burning through plot point after plot point to get through the manga and finish it. Like cmon.

1. That Jason tried to kill Tim when he attacked him at the Titan’s Tower. He beat my boy up but did not try to kill him even after he knocked Tim out.

2. Also that Tim was a sobbing mess the whole time. Lmao right before Jason K.O’ed him he was like “do you still think you’re better than me?” and Tim was like “yeah.” 💀💀

3. Tim’s favorite Robin is Jason. It’s Dick! He was such a Dick Grayson fanboy.

4. Pit madness.

What's the worst lie the popular batfam fanon has made you believe?

I'll start:

'Worst' might be an exaggeration, but the fanon that says Jason is Bruce's favorite son.

Y’all how do you pronounce Damian’s little “Tt”?

Because everyone I know has said it differently. I’ve heard it pronounced “tsk” “tut” and “tit”, which is wild honestly.

I’ve always just pronounced it like the letter T lmfao

dear non-spanish speakers writing spiderverse fanfiction (or anything with spanglish),

in spanglish you don’t switch by word, you switch by phrase.

it’s not:

“[first part of the sentence in english], [second part of the sentence in english], mi amor.”

“[full english sentence], querida.”

it’s:

“[first part of the sentence in english], [segunda parte de la frase en español], mi amor.”

also miles is boricua, miguel is mexican. they have two different accents and use different vocabulary for certain words.

also miles is “nyourican” - a puerto rican native to new york - while his mom is directly from the island, so there are differences there, too, because his spanish is more influence by new york english. 

here’s some good references that aren’t google translate (which usually pulls from spain, a country that speaks vastly differently from latin america)

here have some random videos on different slang/spanish accents:

in spanish most words are gendered, so most feminine words end in a and masculine/gender neutral words end in o. adding ito/ita makes something cuter, smaller and more affectionate.

spanish nicknames that aren’t “mi amor”

“querido/a” - darling

“cariño” - dear (always masculine regardless, of who its being said to)

“mi princesa/príncipe” - my prince/princess

“mi rey/reina” - my king/queen

“papí/mamí” - can be used in any way; romantic, sexual, familial for one’s parent or child, or just platonically

“tesoro” - treasure

also spanish is a language that uses adjectives as terms of affection both cute ones and ones that might sound insensitive in english

gordo (fat), flaco (skinny), negro (black), blanco (white), linda (pretty), bella (beautiful), morena (brown skin), etc.

and like most languages that are not english, spanish has multiple ways of saying i love you.

“te amo” - romantic

“te quiero” - familial, platonic (although there’s nothing wrong with using it romantically)

see also:

te adoro - i adore you

te deseo - i want you

te necesito - i need you

 and, of course, they can vary regionally too.

please use this because i have read a lot of really well written things that take me out of it because the use of spanglish is terrible. don’t just go on your presumptions that spanish/spanglish works in the same way that english does.

buena suerte, gringos.

Theory:

Gege is going to raise Toji back from the dead one last time to fight Sukuna. The real battle will be which one gets the most meat riding from gege.
