sabotabby Listen this is the best episode of a podcast you'll listen to all week. Maybe ever. In this podcast lies the seed of all other podcasts.
The Aurora-nominated podcast Wizards & Spaceships episode "The Ur-Pisode: The Queer Heart of The Epic of Gilgamesh, ft. Julian Gunn" is about the Epic of Gilgamesh (obviously), why it still matters after 4000 years, and most importantly, why Tablet XII is canon despite what homophobic translators have done with it over the past century or so. It's so good you guys. It makes me happy every time I listen to it.radiantfracture is just one of the most brilliant people I know and hearing him geek out about this is a delight you won't want to miss.

He was just searching for a root before Grindr!
(My knowledge of Gilgamesh is based on Disney, and until your post way back, I'd never looked into it)

I mean, if I pull out my copy of Avengers #300 he's not even as tall as Reed Richards, Steve Rogers OR Sersei.
I doubt the veracity of Sumerian tablets.
