THE LEGENDARY STORY OF THE TROJAN HORSE DOES NOT INVOLVE THE GREEKS GIVING THE HORSE TO THE TROJANS AS A GIFT. THE GREEKS’ DECEPTION WAS ACTUALLY THAT THEY LEFT THE HORSE AS AN OFFERING TO THE GODDESS ATHENA.
IN THE LEGEND, THEY BASICALLY SENT SOMEONE TO TROY TO SAY “THIS HORSE IS FOR ATHENA, NOT YOU, SO OUR RETREAT BACK TO GREECE IS SAFE. DON’T TRY TO TAKE IT. IT WON’T FIT THROUGH THE GATES OF YOUR CITY, SO THERE’S NO WAY YOU DICKS CAN STEAL IT AND PRETEND YOU GOT IT FOR ATHENA. NOT FOR TROJANS.”
AND THEN TROY WAS LIKE “YOU’RE NOT OUR DAD. WE WON THIS WAR AND WE’RE TAKING YOUR STUPID HORSE AS A TROPHY SO WE’LL ALWAYS REMEMBER HOW BAD GREECE IS AT DESTROYING TROY.”
AND A FEW TROJANS WERE LIKE “THIS IS A TRICK” AND TRIED TO EXPOSE IT AS A TRICK BUT THE REST OF THE TROJANS WOULD HAVE NONE OF IT BECAUSE EVERYONE WAS SWEPT UP IN THE THRILL OF VICTORY, AND ALSO BECAUSE THE GODS KEPT SENDING SNAKES TO STRANGLE ANYONE WHO SAID ANYTHING, BECAUSE THE GREEK GODS HAD NO WORD FOR “SUBTLETY”
THEN AT NIGHT ALL THE GREEKS JUMPED OUT OF THE HORSE LIKE “WE TOLD YOU NOT TO TAKE THE HORSE, WHY ARE YOU SUCH PRIDEFUL DICKS” AND BURNED DOWN THE WHOLE CITY
This makes a lot more sense
after seeing just how much rose trusted pearl, the episode with roses scabbard is so much more sad

slow progress is still progress nonetheless. you are still creating change in your life and you are still doing your best. slow and steady wins the race, except this isn’t a race and the other people win too. everyone wins in the end regardless of what point in your journey you are at. you win because you are attempting change, you are making progress no matter how slow. you win because you are getting better.
I KNOW I SAID I WAS LEAVING BUT ONE LAST THING
i just love how a couple months ago i saw a bad bad dumb stupid su crit post that was complaining about how we hadn’t come back to the weird orb thing on the moon base. like the post was literally saying that, because it was glanced over the first time and not brought up again yet, that meant the show was badly written because? something about pacing? complaining about set up and no pay off?
like these people REALLY don’t watch the fucking show i swear to god, haha
so now im just feeling extra gratified since it was addressed in cant go back
