To the 12-year old who lied to her friends to stop their nagging about 'having a crush' and 'every girl has one, stop lying' or 'its a phase' when you told them about being ace and demi-romantic:-

It WAS NEVER a Phase.

(Also you have better friends now, who respect an aspect of your existence instead of enforcing their ideals on you)

#Only in Gotham do you come back home after a shity shift to find the leftovers you'd been dreaming of eating the entire day being inhaled by Red Robin and Red Hood.

I hate this city.

#In the end it always comes down to one thing: #Profit not Progress

Yet again, more proof that capitalism was never about "freedom" or "small government".

And that shows.

Odysseus winning against Poseidon:

(and my take on it)

Missed the live stream as I was in college. (Timezones, Yay) And saw it's uploading under the 1 pm sun in the parking lot as I waited for my friends.

And boy did I misread a few things but scrolling through Tumblr really pulled the blindfold off.

And I've seen a few people talking about this so here's my two cents.

Odysseus 1V1-ing Poseidon really doesn't make sense, it came out of nowhere.

(the wind-jetpack and Poseidon getting his ass handed is fun to watch)

Taking it in context it makes no sense, but my academically tired, heat cooked brain somehow managed to create a theory that I really want to share.

What if the souls weren't pulling Odysseus to his death, but away from Poseidon's Trident, what if all 600 men and his mom were helping him, and in that moment, Poseidon's defeat became inevitable.

Because yes, Poseidon is one of The Big Three, yes they were in his domain, yes he is the god of sea, yes he's the earth-shaker, strom-bringer, but.

What is a god's abilities, his rage, all his power to a Mother's Love, what is the sea in all it's dark glory and cold embrace compared to a mother's pray, her blessings, her plea, her desire to see her son home.

What is a god's arrogance next to a mortals remorse, the contempt that he was the reason 558 men died and then the remaining were also killed by the God King because of him, that his Captain bears that weight because of him.

What is Ruthlessness against kindness, gods' preach ruthlessness, they say sometimes killing is a must, but we are humans and humanity says mercy is to give to others, not to hoard it, and mercy is kindness, it is to greet the world with open arms.

What is one god's anger next to the determination of 600 men who couldn't make it home, who died because they didn't listen to the man who let go of his humanity for them , who didn't obey their Captain in life, but they can fulfill his desire in death.

The answer, Nothing.

Ichor may be gold, it may show the gods grandure, but;

The sea, the domain of the sea-king had been painted in red of the drowned men, red that belongs to humans, red that embodies the purest of loves, the color of burning rage, of realm shattering tragedies, the color of bleeding souls.

In that moment, the sea was not Poseidon's domains, it did not belong to any god or titan but to the mortals, and no god would have won.

The moment passed, Odysseus went home, he lived his mortal life and his bones turned dust, eons passed and no god brought Poseidon's defeat, letting the winds carry it to oblivion, letting the sea wash it's trace.

Because no fire created by the gods can compare to some sparks mortals leave behind,.

There's a reason they fear us, a reason they sperated our soul into two halves searching for the other our entire life.

No god, Ennosidas or Nephelegeretes could have won against the rage of six hundred and two souls.

.

.

.

Well that's just my take on it.

I've seen people insult others for saying how Odysseus winning came from nowhere, people are entitled to their opinions as long as they don't hurt other people, so we really should mind the way we speak.

*Odysseus-no fucks left to give-husband of Penelope stabbing Poseidon with his own Trident*

*Poseidon- Ruthlessness is mercy upon ourselves- begging for him to stop*

The Gods watching it happen: (⁠•⁠ ⁠▽⁠ ⁠•⁠;⁠)

Ares-never handles things upfront-:

*Athena- if you want more bloodshed, then set him free-covered in bandages*: Still think he's pathetic and weak? *Cackles*

I read Red Queen quite a while ago, so maybe it was explained but I always thought Elara and Maven made him a target because Ptolemus was the House Samos' Heir Aka Volo's Heir, killing him would mean that House Samos would now have a personal reason to go after the Scarlet Guard.

So like the Guard kills him thinking it'll lead a blow to the City's defense, but the only thing they've done is put one of the strongest and feared high house of Norta after them.

Volo's 'love' for his children or lack thereof and the importance towards House Samos' Legacy His Legacy and the fact that Scarlet Guard killed his biggest investment, would definitely have him hunting them down.

(Looking at Evangeline Povs in Broken Throne, maybe he loved Ptolemus, so he would want to end his son's murderers)

And inevitably mean that no matter their stance on Maven Vs Cal, House Samos would stand firmly with Maven (at least when it came to SGs and ending the rebellion) so Anabel wouldn't have been able to convince Volo to get Evangeline to rescue Mare.

And effectively cutting off an ally to Cal's Succession + Montfort and Scarlet Guard.

(Maybe even preventing the Kingdom of the Rift from being formed)

(Not that Elara and Maven would have a way of knowing that)

I don't know that just what I've always thought.

So you know how Maven gave the Scarlet Guard a list of names that would supposedly cause the most damage to silvers if they were removed from society? Well, we all know how the names were really of people that opposed Elara and were a threat to her and Maven’s reign. Ptolemus Samos was on that list. I’m wondering what, exactly, did Ptolemus do to earn a spot on the list? He doesn’t seem like the type to be on there. Maybe I’m forgetting where it was explained in the book, but all I’m wondering is why did Maven want to kill Ptolemus so bad?

anyway just a reminder for the myth lovers out there

king arthur was welsh. merlin was welsh. camelot was in wales. the lady and the lake she pops out of; welsh. excalibur; magic inanimate welsh object. etc.

on the way to see family, i drive past a lake that in which is welsh legend, is the last resting place of excalibur.

i’m just saying in my experience a lot of these legends had been so anglo-fied in the past and it’s like, all this cool shit is celtic welsh legend.
