“Again?”

Eurylochus grunted, his arms crossed as he stared down at the younger man slumped against the side of the boat, a bottle held loosely in his short fingers. “Yes, again.”

Odysseus rubbed a hand down his face, dragging over unshaven stubble. “Was he on duty this time?”

“No.”

“Good.” Odysseus sighed heavily, nudging Elpenor’s still body with his foot. The curly-haired form didn’t stir. “Passed out…well, only one thing to do now.”

“What do you have in mind?”

Odysseus lifted his head. “Stelios!”

One of the passing men looked up at the captain. “Yes, sir?”

“Go find Perimedes. Fetch him.”

Stelios nodded and disappeared belowdecks while Eurylochus knelt, easily prying the mostly-empty bottle from Elpenor’s limp hand. “Fool is going to drink himself into an empty grave.”

“I will to, if we don’t get home soon.”

“What is it, Stelios?” An annoyed voice groaned as the hatch reopened, and Stelios exited first.

“Your boyfriend is drunk again. So get ‘im out of the way.”

“Wha-” familiar dreadlocks appeared after Stelios. “Elpenor’s not my boyfriend.”

“Didn’t say anything about Elpenor, mate.”

Perimedes scowled. “Go fuck yourself.”

“Go fuck Elpenor,” was Stelios’s lazy response, before nodding to the captain and wandering off.

“Preferably once he’s sober,” Eurylochus added, pointing to Elpenor’s slumped form.

Perimedes’ attention was easily drawn the the captain and second-in-command hovering over his lover. “Shut up,” he muttered, coming over and crouching by Elpenor’s side with next to no hesitation. He gently slapped the shorter man’s flushed cheeks a few times before sighing. Odysseus’ hearing was just keen enough to hear him mutter a soft “godsdammit, Elle” before he wrapped his arm around the other’s waist and hoisted him up over his shoulder.

Eurylochus shook his head. “Tell him when he wakes that if this happens again, we’re leaving him on the next island we find to die!”

The responding scoff as Perimedes walked away with his drunken companion made Odysseus shake his head, though not without a bit of fondness. “Young love…”

“Captain, Perimedes is two years older then you.”

“And Elpenor?”

“…a year younger.”

“Yeah, that’s what I said. Young love.”

Owww. Ow, ow, ow, ow.

Elpenor’s first action after becoming aware of reality once more was to raise a hand to his head. He quickly found the appendage was quite deeply involved in his body’s entire rebellion against him, as it ungently smacked him in the head before the attached arm flopped against the side of the hammock.

A larger, warmer, far steadier hand found Elpenor’s and picked it up, placing back on his stomach. Then, from somewhere to his left, a familiar deep voice muttered, “Hello, fuckhead.”

The tone and resonance was so soothing that Elpenor found he didn’t quite mind the words themselves. He didn’t dare open his eyes, from the light he could see through the lids it would be unimaginable pain if he chose to. He merely groaned, hoarse and a little bit pathetic. “Hi…”

The hand still brushing against his reappeared at his head, brushing aside a curl as his body rocked and swayed with the hammock. Not helping the nausea, but the touch was distracting enough that he did nothing about it. “You need to stop doing that.”

“Doing…what?”

“Drinking that much in broad daylight.”

“You were busy.”

“That’s your only two options when you have free time? Being with me or drinking yourself stupid?”

Elpenor didn’t deign to respond.

A long sigh. “We gotta get you a hobby.”

“Like what? This boat’s fuckin’ boring…”

“…I’m sure we can find something.”

While I’m busy with the request for Midnight Strangers (god give me strength, 6 pages of comic) here’s my old comic that I drew after the finale of the Secret life. I might redraw the second page to just see how my skills improved. God it’s old.

[skulkiee]

I hurt my own feelings with this one y’all 😔👍

[skulkiee]

content warning, blood and violence

holy hell, kisu doodles's new mutiny animatic!

Like holy hell!

I honestly never had that much of an emotional reaction to Mutiny or Odysseus sacrificing Eurylochus and the remaining men in Thunder Bringer, but man, this animatic makes you feel the weight of that sacrifice. It really makes you feel how horrific the attack from Scylla was and acknowledge just how hunger/tired/desperate these men were.

It is so good, y'all

There is so many things i could say about Hadestown and how they explain stuff and how amazing and deep some of the lyrics are and how it makes you Think about Things, but also

But also i will be doing something with Those Particular Lyrics and Eurylochus because like. Yes.

Especially the first two lines

Now im gonna go and find lyrics from Hadestown to put with all the other Epic characters because theyre two of my three favorite musicals and the third one doesnt fit the vibe

I CAN PUT EPIC LYRICS WITH HADESTOWN CHARACTERS-
