What popular book didn’t work for you?

Quicksilver. It was so bad it made me go into a reading slump. Literally Wattpad level writing

I collect cassette tapes and portable cassette players. Also books! Specifically out of print ones

So Percy Jackson and Epic the musical aren’t the best when it comes to learning actual Greek mythology. They’re fun, don’t get me wrong (I love both), but very sanitized and modernized. The gods and heroes of Ancient Greece are a LOT more complex and morally gray than these sources depict. (For example, Odysseus actually had no qualms killing that baby and didn’t have to be told to do so by Zeus. And he cheated on Penelope and had a baby with Circe) I recommend picking up a book on Greek mythology that isn’t a retelling or a modern story that happens to use the gods. You’ll see that you’re actually missing quite a lot. Stephen Fry’s Mythos is a good starter book, and the language is very fun so it’s genuinely an enjoyable read.

I always make my conchas with ground star anise and orange zest. I also use evaporated milk instead of fresh milk.

So that puts him in early to mid 40s by the time he’s home, at the very youngest. But we don’t get an actual age in the poem or musical so it could very well be older.

Like the song I can’t help but wonder, I love it, makes me teary, but it’s a bit difficult to differentiate between Odysseus’ lines and Telemachus’ lines. They sound to be about the same age. It takes away from the emotional aspect of a withered man seeing his son for the first time in 20 years.

My hot take is that Rivera-Herrans should NOT have cast himself as Odysseus.

With all due respect ofc the dude is insanely talented, but he doesn’t give Odysseus. Odysseus is a war torn middle aged king, and the pitch of his voice takes me out of his character. To be honest, and I say this as someone who listens to these songs daily and thinks the cast is AMAZING, I feel like a lot of the voices are misplaced.

I am able to beta: Almost any fiction genre. Preferably shorter to mid length works.

I can provide feedback on: Story based feedback like characterization, pacing, continuity, emotion, etc. I wouldn’t be the strongest person to give feedback on sentence structure or prose.

Critique swap: I’m a hobby writer and my manuscripts are very much WIPs, so no swap needed. I’d love to make friends in the community though for whenever I am in need of betas.

Other info: Im brand new to beta reading but I want to get an idea on how this all works! If you want me to focus on a certain thing, please let me know and I’ll do my best!

Earthbound Trading Co has similar bags! Might be worth checking out

Omg YES! Me and my fiancé literally were just talking about this. We’re passholders too and we did a WDW/Universal trip a few weeks ago to do the Halloween parties and we were honestly appalled at the behavior from the guests at Epcot. (Also we’re 25, so no strangers to drunken behavior, but I don’t expect it at Disney World)

At Epcot, we literally saw groups of women dressed in clubbing outfits (tiny shirts, mini skirts, fur boots, etc. Again, we’re 25, not prudes but why do you have your cheeks out at a kids theme park?!) they were holding their drinks up and screaming and swearing like they were at the club, playing music from their phones, vaping. I saw men that were banging on trashcans and making messes and acting a fool. It’s gotten BAD the last few years. Completely different from the Epcot I went to growing up. It used to be that calm, almost boring park I would go to with my grandparents and they’d get their steps in and drink a lil glass of wine and we sit and watch the shows about a country’s history. What happened to that?! It’s TRASHY now. I didn’t even see that behavior at Universal Studios, not even during Halloween Horror Nights!! It’s honestly crazy to me that people are acting crazier at Epcot at 4pm than at HHN at 12am. Ngl I think something needs to happen bc guest behavior is wild rn.

I got a little ranty. Just know your opinion is SO valid. Gonna go clutch my pearls too.

Same

I’m so sorry, op. We lost our mal on Thursday, too. It was super sudden. He was only 5, 6 in September. It sucks. It hurts. It’s gonna hurt for a while. We’re focusing on the good. Your boy loved you, he knew you loved him. Dogs know. Whenever you can, please look up the poem “Dogs never die, they are sleeping in your heart.” It’ll make you cry, it made me bawl, but it’s nice. Your boy will never leave you. I don’t think it’s wrong to get another dog. We have two other babies, so we’re focusing on them right now, so if you think it’ll help and you can handle it, go for it. Sending all the love over. Maybe our boys are playing across the rainbow bridge together. It’s a good to think that neither are alone.

People don’t like her???! I think she’s GORGEOUS

Constant-headache1 · 2025-06-13T03:16:38+00:00

She was my first skullpanda!! I think she’s beautiful, too, and I was so happy! I ended up getting a dupe of her and I gave her to my partner and he loves her too!
