hollis (they/them) currently studying classics and archaeology.
if I found out I was prophesied to kill my father, fuck my mother, and bring a curse upon my city, I would simply move to a different city and leave my parents behind to avoid it.
i mean Oedipus did also leave. that was a pretty significant thing that happened. like i understand where you’re coming from here but he very much did move to a different city and left his parents behind to avoid it.
That’s… that’s the joke lmao
The amount of people in the notes going “Haha, op, have you ever read a little play called “Oedipus Rex”? A similar thing happens in it. Turns out this plan would not work.” like wow you’re so smart. I certainly did not make this post joking about the exact plot of that specific play.
