Week 10 Reading Diary B: Downer Ending

Man, Duryo is really a jerk. Here Dhrita wants to throw Krishna a freakin party, and Duryo's just like, mwa ha ha, let's kidnap him! Take a day off man. Oh, wait, he's a crazy powerful god. Okay, plan over, bye bye Krishna have a safe trip.

Oh, Karna, you're only going to attack ONE of my sons? Oh wow, thanks, you're such a dear.

Ah, and here's the Bhagavad Gita!

That was weird how Karna wouldn't fight as long as Bhishma was fighting. Like, cuz he was mad at him? Wouldn't that be all the more reason to fight him?

Man, this battle is crazy. Krishna's running around, demon sons and reincarnated women warriors, Bhishma gets distracted, oops! You dead.

Aww. poor Abhimanyu. Arjuna mad now.

Wow, that's gotta be a pretty big discus.

Okay - so Karna, you have a weapon that CANNOT  fail. You were smart, and said hey, I'm gonna save this for Arjuna, the baddest warrior they've got. Then, you were stupid, and wasted it on someone else. Stick to your goals, man.


WOOOWWW, really not cool. Like, if you're gonna lie anyway, what was the point of killing the elephant named Ashwatthaman? That just seems really.. childish. And then, like, whispering under your breath "the elephant" so you're not technically lying - come on bro, you're lying. I mean, you are intentionally lying your ass off in order to, oh yeah, kill the guy point blank unarmed whammo dead. But seriously though, that's how little kids lie - whisper the untold bit under your breath. I expected better. Bad form.

Ooookayyy, and it gets more effed up... This is like, prison rules. I mean it's a war, but still...

Kinda convenient to blame it all on karma. I don't know, I kinda feel for Duryodhana at the end there...

Okay, how do you mistake a metal statue for a person? I think there's a bad case of the stupid going around in this family.

Man, this is a downer ending.

Oh damn, he's still not dead? Jeez that sucks. I don't think I would give my enemy tips and tricks on ruling my kingdom as I was dying. I'd be more like, F you.


Dude, what the what??? It was already enough of a downer ending, then we get people dying in fires, cities drowning, civil wars, Krishna is killed by a hunter who thinks he's a BIRD??? This is just.. I can't.. no.

Week 10 Reading Diary A: Preparing for War

Duryodhana needs to give it up. Obsessed much? And obviously, he just can't ever do anything right. He's like the villain in a kids' cartoon - every week he comes up with a new evil plot, which we all know is going to fail, and he never seems to realize he should just give up and get a hobby.

What's with all the mysterious deer? The golden deer, the sex-having god deer, now this deer... why can't there be a mysterious lizard or a god posing as a pigeon?

Wow, that's smart. I mean, to be fair, if I heard a voice come out of a lake, I would just think someone was playing a joke on me, or at worst that I was hearing things, and I wouldn't really answer it either. But, these people are coming from a place where they deal with gods and demons and stuff, so you would think they would be a little more receptive to a magic talking lake. And then, of course, after the first brother dies, HOW STUPID CAN YOU BE??? Like, why would the others just ignore their dead brother's carcass dangling over the side of the lake? Would they not think to be a little more cautious after that?

And how did that conversation go? "Uh, hey dad? Why are my brothers dead?" "Oh, they wouldn't answer my questions." "Umm... okay, but I did." "Yes, you're a good boy. Run along now." "Umm... do you think you could bring my brothers back to life?" "Oh, very well." Poof poof!

Wow, how did Yudhishthira get that gig? I mean, he just gets to hang out and play dice (sure that's a good idea?) with the king, while his brothers are a cook, a cowherd, and a stableboy. Ouch.

And Draupadi is a hairdresser. lol. Why is this starting to feel like some sort of sitcom?

Ooh.. god, Draupadi gets a raw deal. Bhima SQUEEZES a guy to death? Like,  what?

Go go action Arjuna.

Damn, he musta thrown those dice hard to draw blood.

Oh, hey, didn't know you were awesome, sorry I assaulted you with dice. Have my daughter.


Hmm, choose Krishna or his million soldiers. Smells like a trap... bet Duryodhana's pretty pleased with himself.. for now, da da daaa!

Double agent. I mean, would you really want someone loyal to the other side to begrudgingly join your army because of a promise? That just sounds like a recipe for stupid.

Dhritarashtra needs to sack up. I don't know what Duryo's problem is, but Dhrita should really listen to, like, everyone else and not do this war. But alas, then there would not be a story.
