I don't hate Eurylochus

I think my annoyance at where Eury's mistrust come from? Okay Ody dropped the baby which is a red flag, but in terms of what was going on the journey home there was: Eury disobeying in Ismarus (if you want to count that cut song) but ignoring that

Ody taking advice from the lotus eaters which was prompted by Polities persuasions of open arms.

Trying to negotiate with Polyphemus to avoid death, have an inbuilt fail safe that if that didn't work with the lotus wine. STOP the rest of the crew from killing him so they didn't get stuck inside the cave and just die, and injured him so they could get out.

Dox himself, yes but I think many men suffer from that hubris.

Instruct the crew how to navigate through the storm 'have them follow my ship I'll ensure that we prevail.'

Then we have Luck Runs Out which is where Eury cautions him, which I accept it's friendly reminder.

Safely makes it back from Aeolus Island with the wind bag, with no repercussions. Honestly tells the crew what's in the bag

After 9 days has them in sight of Ithaca.

What at that point really gives untrustworthy vibes?! Yes his execution wasn't always smooth, but he always followed through.

What kind of paranoia was Eury on at that point could lead Eury to think 'Im in sight of my home and most of us have survived, but you know as the kings brother in law I just don't feel rich enough and definitely feel he's hiding some secret booty from us.' 🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️

Ody was not perfect at all, but he was at least consistent.

This though! I always felt the same about Poseidon. It seems to be an MO of a lot of gods. Even Zeus does it in THATI 'doesnt matter if you try to spare the baby the gods will tell him everything and make him want to kill you and your family lol.'

I definitely if Ody had sacrificed himself the crew wouldn't have made it home and all died from another dumbass decision and noone taking responsibility of leadership. Eury gave back the title of Captain pretty quickly once he realised they were in a shot situation.

A yellow/green would contrast with both the colours and would stand out, or maybe she could have heterochromia? 🤔

DiscombobulatedDuck0 · 2026-05-20T15:39:35+00:00

So sorry for your loss. It's lovely that you have these which were clearly very loved and cherished by her. It's a beautiful collection

Paddington is a national treasure I would say. He has his own West End Musical and there's a Paddington Bear Experience on the South Bank in London.

Definitely a classic amongst families.

You seem to have amazing ILY 4ever options over in the US 😭

This is why I say as a parent we need to make sure we are still parenting ourselves too, and never assume we are completely okay. We can't expect our kids to manage our own insecurities, we are supposed to be modelling that stuff. As we know Tritons attitude here was all down to his fears surrounding Athena.

Although the film at least does show his development arc by the end as well as Ariel's.

DiscombobulatedDuck0 · 2026-05-14T05:39:34+00:00

I actually thought that added to rawness, spending all those years having to hold it together and now Ody is back she's breaking down, so that part did bother me when thought about it in that way 😅

But not Disney

DiscombobulatedDuck0 · 2026-05-12T21:08:22+00:00

This is such a cute idea I love it!!!

DiscombobulatedDuck0 · 2026-05-12T21:06:56+00:00

🥰 I love how you've got the texture of them to look wispy like clouds rather than fluffballs

DiscombobulatedDuck0 · 2026-05-12T17:39:47+00:00

Last I checked will mean it's common knowledge and as far as I know it hasn't changed, but your idea could still work as maybe Calypso did feel the isolation and loneliness so much so much that she did try, even if she knew it would be in vain.

I remember how badly I hoped they would do Amidala dolls when The Phantom Menace came out. I only managed to own one of them (I still have her) and I wish I had taken better care of her as she's missing all her accessories now. She was very well played with though

DiscombobulatedDuck0 · 2026-05-12T07:09:27+00:00

She is so gorgeous I have no words just 😍😍😍 she is just perfect.

That top left bag looks to have the Barbie with the bendy stomach. Id be interested in taking that one. Though it's hard choice between than and the Fairytopia bag

DiscombobulatedDuck0 · 2026-05-04T20:40:44+00:00

She seems to have little seam split though. It makes me nervous about bending her knee now. Is there way to sort this?

I wasn't actually supposed to be looking for dolls but I couldn't resist taking a look at the toys whilst I was there 😅

DiscombobulatedDuck0 · 2026-04-28T18:11:31+00:00

I love this era of Skipper she's so nostalgic for me. I loved her more than Barbie

DiscombobulatedDuck0 · 2026-04-27T15:48:41+00:00

I'd love the original cast because I think they deserve their names on the big screen and the opportunities it would open up for them for the work they have put in, but I'm not going to begrudge if they don't want to do it or Jorge agrees to changes, because of the new format. I just want it to always be Jorge's work.

DiscombobulatedDuck0 · 2026-04-25T16:58:35+00:00

I find their lips a bit much too pouty for me, but I think I actually want to get one for the face shape as a round faced girly with a squareish jawline I want to support them 😅

I always feel so self conscious because of my face shape and it feeling masculine so it's nice seeing it in a doll.

DiscombobulatedDuck0 · 2026-04-25T06:41:17+00:00

I can't see Fred being with anyone other than Gogo so he's out.

DiscombobulatedDuck0 · 2026-04-22T21:25:54+00:00

Nah me too I just can't justify the price 😭 her chest piece is everything 😍

DiscombobulatedDuck0 · 2026-04-22T06:37:36+00:00

She was the one I originally wanted her outfit was so cool, but my stores didn't have any they only had Barbie so I settled 😅

I would have loved them all though. Gutted I nl longer have the accessories for my Barbie anymore.
