"it's possible I could do anything I don't know how to do"

"I can do anything with enough tries, eventually"

truly such bullshit that ipads don't let you get extensions for firefox

There’s a good chance you’ve already heard about this I’m guessing, but I just saw something about how Emily Wilson, first women to translate the Odyssey into English, is coming out with a new translation of the Iliad on Sept 26th. Seemed up your alley, so wanted to let you know if you didn’t already!

oh god where to even start???

  • the inside out/osmosis jones/cells at work energy
  • the cast chemistry overall!! there's such good energy at the table and brennan's killing it as usual
  • the effects on the dome!! the dramatic lighting through the blinds, the reveal at the end of episode 2, the vibes THE VIBES
  • PSYCHOLOGY I love brain shit!! even if, as evidenced by previous posts, I do not know as much as I sometimes get it into my head that I do
  • relatedly the RESEARCH and the way each piece of the brain metaphor slots together, like, RELENTLESSLY. the shock troopers taking out the pain signals??? fucking incredible I love it. I LOVE this stuff it's so yummy it's enrichment in my enclosure
  • trapp and siobhan's banter at the start. just. all of it
  • "stacy fakename" in all its iterations, but especially trapp when curio is getting interrogated at the hippo campus
  • the pun names!!!!!!!
  • relatedly, "I don't want to Pay A. Tension."
  • everyone having a very single-minded character with a specific role to play into, which makes their character choices feel so consistent and,,, energetic? idk
  • like okay there's a sitcom-esque pleasure in knowing exactly how each character will act u know?
  • hank green's Menacing Fun Facts, of course
  • danielle's headlines!! THE ONE ABOUT THE LADY AT THE COFFEE SHOP!! THE OBLIQUE WAYS WE LEARN ABOUT ELIAS THROUGH THESE THINGS
  • freddie wong's character voice and general bearing as dan fucks. just immaculate. like imagine him as an animated character. imagine it
  • (freddie and brennan as dan and wilton OH MY GOD I was DYING laughing. THE CHEMISTRY! ELECTRIC A;LSKDJF)
  • actually the whole Animated Movie vibe is so good for me I love it
  • the dynamic between the fix and con--okay look it's that scar and mei chang energy u know?? we all love a ruthless but principled murderer taking care of a sad little kid. we love the gap moe
  • alex just fucking kills it in every scene and they make it look easy but I feel like that "so sad it's funny" kind of humor must be a real needle to thread
  • "you're my best friend" "you're my best friend!" ;o;
  • RELATEDLY THE SCENE WITH THE ICE SKATES. and they just improvised that memory?? AND NOW IT'S ABOUT TRAUMA AND I'M WEAK TO THAT
  • like, well improv'd humor is great but well-improv'd story is Next Level for me, that's something I loved about ACOFAF
  • and I'm so nervous about the story overall after that cliffhanger!! like WHAT ARE THEY GONNA DO HOW IS THIS GONNA END?? ELIAS?!?!?!
  • in short, this is up there with my favorite seasons of d20 already and I love having it to look forward to on wednesdays. I hope there are oodles of animatics

I'm ready to do it
