Step 2 In Preparing Your Son To Be Telemachus for Halloween: How To Take Taunting From Suitors

June 1, 2011

So Telemachus has to take a lot of shit from the suitors.

Who are the suitors? If you’re going to play Telemachus you’ve gotta know about the suitors.

They’re your enemies. All of em.

They basically want to take over your kingdom, and they’re going to say some pretty mean things.

Like what? Like, “Hey Telemachus, I fucked your mom last night.”

I don’t know if it’s true, but they’re going to say it.

And they’re going to eat all your food and drink all your wine.

How does that make you feel?

You’re not Brian, remember. You’re Telemachus, son of Odysseus.

Let’s practice: “Hey Telemachus, your dad is dead. He has to be. It’s been like 20 years.”

Well that should make you feel angry. Telemachus was an angry kid.

Slap me in the face. Go on.

See how I caught that and made you slap yourself in the face?

That’s how Telemachus felt like everyday.

Halloween is more than just costumes.

It’s about embodiment.

Now string this bow.

You can’t can you.

Perfect.

Now pout a little.
