Now I'm back from travels, starting updates on ForgeFyre again (a folklorey/clockpunk/gothic multimedia story I wrote two chapters of along with an an artist called Hannah Milburn some years ago - now reposting them on a forum so they're somewhere for someone to read).
Page 9 is now up, this one is mostly an audio update:

Once more, for the people in the back:
An "epic hero" (*cough* Odysseus *cough*) is not an "epic hero" because they are a role model that does everything right. They were never meant to be an unproblematic fandom icon.
People bending themselves into pretzels to prove Odysseus (and others) never did anything wrong, questionable, or "problematic" are doing a disservice and flattening mythology into fan fiction.
Said what I said.

The #anime#Lazarus was such a disappointment! The beginning was super strong, then there were so many episodes where nothing happened, lots of tangential stories that led nowhere, no development of characters, and the end was so anticlimatic that it was confusing. 💯 % agree with Screenrant's review, the time wasted watching it was sunk cost fallacy. The only thing that stays is the music, which now feels like a theft (K.Washington, Boo Radleys...)
Digging into the "Gift of the Little People" folktale type (ATU 503), where someone joins the singing of fairies and gets rewarded for it. The human usually adds a few days to the song of "Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday!", delighting the fairies.
Hungarian versions, once again, have to be extra about it.
Instead of singing fairies, we have singing skeletons. And they get angry when someone adds "Monday" to their song.
Highly relatable.
