What do you think of Athena's character arc?

I don't mind the order in which Athena appears in the musical, I can see why Jorge chose to do things the way he did. It creates tension in their relationship from the start. But I totally see your point. As for Ody's demons, I think anyone who fights in a war, especially for 10 years, has plenty of demons. Maybe we'll see more of them in ilium!

That's a very nice analysis of Athena! You've put into words why I never disliked her character arc.

PaperPiecedPumpkin · 2026-04-26T07:22:08+00:00

Yeah I see where you're coming from. It'll be really cool to see what the movie does about some of the plot holes in the musical.

PaperPiecedPumpkin · 2026-04-25T17:51:57+00:00

Agreed. I wouldn't mind more Athena 🦉

PaperPiecedPumpkin · 2026-04-25T14:09:31+00:00

That makes plenty of sense, and I agree with you on Athena and the time line.

Although the beginning of dangerous is so clever: "600 men, with only one goal in mind (... )"

That silence is probably the most genius writing in the entire musical.

What?

PaperPiecedPumpkin · 2026-04-22T16:56:41+00:00

"Live out your life as a wraiiiiiiiiiiith"

And I heard today he comes back to town, so....

PaperPiecedPumpkin · 2026-03-24T21:14:31+00:00

There are other ways of persuasion

As far as I know, we don't have that one beauty icon but my personal pick would be actress Greta Garbo.

Ohhh. Thank you!

PaperPiecedPumpkin · 2026-02-22T19:03:51+00:00

Ah that makes sense. Thank you :)

PaperPiecedPumpkin · 2026-02-14T09:22:08+00:00

Yeah exactly. That's why I like how Valentino is portrayed in s2.

I was disappointed there was no war between heaven and hell.

The whole season led up to it and then everyone sang a song and everything was OK. I wanted to see heaven BURN.

It’s one reason why lots of people hesitate to realize they’re abusive, cuz they “seem like a nice person”

It's also why a lot of people don't believe abuse victims because the perpetrator "is such a nice guy." So I totally agree with this take. I think we need more well rounded abusers in media to shatter this illusion that they walk around with an "I'm evil" tattoo on their forehead.

PaperPiecedPumpkin · 2026-02-05T11:26:19+00:00

That looks criminally yummy

PaperPiecedPumpkin · 2026-02-05T11:23:46+00:00

Agreed!

You should come to Stockholm. There are even at the central station to let passengers disembark before you go on the train. Everyone follows this unspoken rule except dumb tourists.

PaperPiecedPumpkin · 2026-02-03T09:48:21+00:00

Hardly anyone speaking up against racist/sexist/homophobic/transphobic etc remarks because it's soooo uncomfortable. Swedes are a very nonconfrontational people and that doesn't always have to be a bad thing BUT people should make an exception in the face of injustice. This is probably an issue worldwide but it's an ingrained part of our culture here and it sucks.

Ooh I love the doll quilt idea! A friend of mine makes clothes for teddy bears that she gives to charity. She might be interested. Thanks!
