Broggly @broggly.bsky.social · 11/10/2026It's hilarious how '60s Roman movie naval battles used fireworks to stand in for ballistas and catapults in wide shots. Like, ah yes, the famous Roman invention, the Hwacha. 000

Broggly @broggly.bsky.social · 10/10/2026Just saw Knights of Guinevere Ep 2 and oof, I can see why they said this would make a lot of people drop the series. There are graphic, explicit and completely uncensored depictions of mahjong. 0256
Broggly @broggly.bsky.social · 08/10/2026Ianthe is a genocidal imperialist but she is not constantly saying racial slurs which is the apparently the part they're actually excited about. 110
Broggly @broggly.bsky.social · 06/10/2026Deut. 8:9 has a lot of big round sounds, "stones" "iron" "out of whose hills", and "Brass" does sound nicer at the end than "copper" Of course "it's not meant to be literal truth it just sounds better" is not something KJV-only biblical literalists want to hear! 000
Broggly @broggly.bsky.social · 06/10/2026I think it might be a language thing? Like people used "brass" more broadly back then, or whoever did Deuteronomy went "hmm, copper, don't like that word. Too many plosives. But brass. I like that word. Fun to say. Braaass." 100
Broggly @broggly.bsky.social · 06/10/2026I really like how this turned out! The way you drew Margaret was really inspired, and it was a great idea to put in all the sheep and the goat. Look at my chronicler dog this case is NOT getting solved. 120
Broggly @broggly.bsky.social · 06/10/2026While we don't know how much of the drama caused by Hedwig's love-life and the "competition" contributed to what happened to Linbarrow, both Hedwig and Paris did disappear for 20 years only to return and. Well, if you've read Volume Two you know what's going to happen. 120

Broggly @broggly.bsky.social · 01/10/2026This is a reference to a somewhat obscure story so for context: 052
Broggly @broggly.bsky.social · 01/10/2026don't pretend this isn't what's going on either i know the score i know what's up. i'm familiar with this sort of semantic trick. you want to fuck down on a beautiful old woman with certain characteristics of a rodent and everyone's gotta know. 010
Broggly @broggly.bsky.social · 01/10/2026the crazy thing about this is that it took one single word to turn it horny. coulda been a normal cute post. coulda taken the high road & conjured a delightful image of a mouse predicting your imminent death by being buried alive in an earthquake. but you had to say "mousegirl" and not "mouse." 110
Broggly @broggly.bsky.social · 01/10/2026If you went to Thebes and the blind seer was a mousegirl you could ask for a prophecy and she would balance a tablet of baleful signs on her head and say "for you, it's on the mouse" 110

Broggly @broggly.bsky.social · 25/09/2026Though, it is very obviously Athena pretending to be Polites and I feel like Epic Athena would say that shit. (The concept is basically a cross between Hamlet and the lifeboat parable except instead of rescuers it's opportunities to murder Ajax) 000
Broggly @broggly.bsky.social · 25/09/2026I'm a little worried about Epic fans seeing my odyssey fiction because Epic Polites is like "I know that you're tired of the war and bloodshed/Tell me, is this how we're supposed to live?" but mine will be more "WE SLAUGHTER THEM IN THEIR BEDS LIKE PIGS, MAKE A HECATOMB OF MEN" 111

Broggly @broggly.bsky.social · 24/09/2026For its many faults, the movie Troy shows another aspect to this. What's sexier, Brad Pitt taking his shirt off and aura farming, or Orlando Bloom crawling through the dirt, covered in blood, crying and begging for his life? 031
Broggly @broggly.bsky.social · 24/09/2026My favourite 40K joke is how Roboute Guileman(sp?) said "consider your duty at leisure, but act without hesitation" so the more lenient chapters give marines 5 minutes of leisure time in which to consider their duty. 040
Broggly @broggly.bsky.social · 24/09/2026The big modern trans Achilles story is of course Wrath Goddess Sing which an incredible read and just drags Odysseus the whole time he's on Skyros. "Is the plan just to wave nice swords around until you run into someone who gets hard? 'Oh swords, I love swords, let me show you my meat sword?'" 020
Broggly @broggly.bsky.social · 24/09/2026There were a lot of plays and operas about Achilles and Deidamia where Achilles is played by a woman. AIUI it's often played for comedy but would also get pretty homoerotic. I was thinking more about if Flora would think about it in a lesbian way than if these 17thC operas were, good. 110
Broggly @broggly.bsky.social · 24/09/2026I forgot the OTHER thing Paris does which is grab everything in Sparta that isn't nailed down, which modern adaptations tend to play down or ignore but I think Flora would find that very sexy of him. 010
Broggly @broggly.bsky.social · 24/09/2026...I forgot to label this post but apparently bsky thinks this Paris is less suggestive than the three goddesses above? 000

Broggly @broggly.bsky.social · 24/09/2026I think this says a lot about her feelings about Catherine as well. She wanted someone who would help her run away from all this, but what happened? Catherine had a mission, and a destiny which mattered more than her life with Flora. And she disappeared and she died and left Flora behind. 000
Broggly @broggly.bsky.social · 24/09/2026While the Aeneid was more popular back then IIRC, Aeneas obviously doesn't get a look in. "Bye, babe, love ya, I'm sailing off to found Rome and also you're on fire now" is some real bullshit. 110
Broggly @broggly.bsky.social · 24/09/2026Yes, maybe everything's going to fall apart and it'll end tragically but that's then, and this is now, and it's all just a fantasy anyway. So long, girls, I'm off to marry a handsome prince! 110
Broggly @broggly.bsky.social · 24/09/2026What does Paris do? Paris takes Helen away from Sparta and they sail off to get married and have incredible sex and she can work on her art projects and his family is like "our handsome idiot son shouldn't have done that but all of us think you're wonderful and we won't send you back." 210
Broggly @broggly.bsky.social · 24/09/2026All Polyxena gets to do is sit in a temple being wise and virtuous and then die nobly as a pure maiden. 110
Broggly @broggly.bsky.social · 24/09/2026Polyxena is even worse because their relationship is the kind of deeply intense emotional affair based around spiritual comfort that anchoresses are always being warned about, but I don't think Flora wants that courtly chaste and pure love, or some kind of Abelard and Heloise bullshit. 110
Broggly @broggly.bsky.social · 24/09/2026You had people writing the story with a lesbian Achilles by the 1610s at least, but that's no good either. If Flora wanted an intense, sword obsessed woman from overseas Adela is right there! 210
Broggly @broggly.bsky.social · 24/09/2026(In a cisgender reading) Achilles on Skyros is a man who sneaks into a female-only religious setting, seduces or rapes Deidamia, gets her pregnant, then disappears forever. She's still stuck on Skyros! Flora doesn't want some Casanova to love and leave her! 110
Broggly @broggly.bsky.social · 24/09/2026But I don't think it's about art, I think it's about what they do. Flora is a nun. Achilles and Paris represent the kinds of love affairs she could have, and she wants Paris. Who are Achilles loves? Setting aside Patroclus (ie doing something like Darcy and Eustace) there's Deidamia and Polyxena. 110
Broggly @broggly.bsky.social · 24/09/2026Hector is of course one of the Nine Worthies (nine exemplars of chivalry virtue), and Hector Reproving Paris is a very common artistic subject. This is a 19th century example but I can imagine Flora seeing "Noble Hector scolds his irresolute brother for being too sexy" somewhere 210
Broggly @broggly.bsky.social · 24/09/2026She could be talking about illustrations of course. I can't find any 15th century Achilles, but he's always brooding or dragging around corpses or being shot in the leg. Meanwhile Paris is either seducing Helen or hanging out with naked women 210
Broggly @broggly.bsky.social · 24/09/2026Why is Flora more attracted to Paris? Homer isn't a super descriptive writer, and it's not like "magnificent" is a sexier word that "swift-footed." #misericordevn #misericorde 162
