You Are Odysseus

So

I’m a teacher of Classical Civilisation that has taught the Odyssey for over a decade and studied pretty much every myth and story with Odysseus in it.. I think

and I’m writing an Interactive Fiction (choose your own path) version of the Odyssey, inspired by the Homeric phrase “he turned his great heart this way and that”, where you are Odysseus, allowing you to follow his decisions or make your own

and it already has 500 sections to it - written to emulate modern translations of the Odyssey, including the literary features of simile, formula, epithet, and the rest - and 21 different ways to die, and quite a lot of period and theme-appropriate alternatives

(and if I get time, the option to be Telemachus or Penelope, although that might have to wait because it’s already a monster)

and I’ve tested what I’ve made so far on my pupils, other Classics teachers, and some of the leading (and best-read) Greek Mythology podcasters and YouTubers, all of whom have universally loved it (yay!)

(EDIT: Oops and I presented on it at the Classical Association conference last year)

I’m trying to finish it this summer, but need a bit of encouragement to do so

EDIT: and I forgot to say that ideally I’m planning on it being a beautiful BOOK with an old-fashioned cover and lots of ribbons to mark your place ❤️ (ex-bookseller ofc)

so, please let me know if you’d like to know more!

Assuming the battle of Lothal took place arpund Rogue 1 and or just before the battle of Yavin. Endor took place 4 ABY and mando was 5 years after that. Assuming maybe a year has taken place between the start of Mando and the start of Ahsoka, and assuming Twileks have a similar gestation period to humans. Hes like 9 max.

WHAT IS A 9 YEAR OLD DOING IN THE MIDDLE OF A POSSIBLE WAR?

Also, mad respect, because that means Hera did the rebellion PREGNANT and a MOM TO A NEWBORN, which ... damn girl mad fuckin respect.

Clark is used to picking up his family members and flying off with them whenever convenient, and he doesn’t understand why Bruce complains when he does it to him. Diana had to learn about fragile masculinity the hard way, so she won’t carry Bruce unless he asks her to.

FIRST PRIDE!! THIS SHIS AMAZING! I get it now

Everyone here is such a gender! Theres multiple drag queen shows! The merch! The corporate support is a bit sketch, as I know a lot of it is just showing fake support. But most of the booths are genuinely here and queer. Theres a gay mens camping group!

Man, just out here loving my best life
