My favourite Jayce expressions from S1 Act 1:
The beginning of the obsession but also the look of hope and amazement in child Jayce's eyes
Tumblr media
Just how appalled he is at being called dangerous
Tumblr media
The anger in his eyes when Heimerdinger tells him not to talk about magic starting to this he lowkey hated Heimerdinger from the start
Tumblr media
The voices of everyone at the trial getting to him that he snaps with "I was trying to create magic"
Tumblr media
His reaction to when the council was against him
Tumblr media
Vs when his mom finally speaks
Tumblr media
the sadness in his eyes then the quick turn at the "My son isn't in his right mind"
The visible defeat when the last person he thought believed in him because we know Viktor does no longer does
Tumblr media
The emptiness in his eyes and how you just know what he plans to do when it pans out to the edge of the ruined apartment and it's just so sad
Tumblr media
The realisation that Viktor does believe in him and him almost allowing himself to become hopeful
Tumblr media
To then the acceptance that Viktor truly does believe in this and in him and it becomes "Our hextech dream"
Tumblr media
His lingering look and his "huh" as Mel walks away, he was just 24 with a crush also the sad frown of Viktor's face when he notices
Tumblr media
Also his lingering look and smile at Viktor when they float in the air

day 1421
#uh just a heads up if you expand the tags to see all there's. a lot. very long#amphibian#frog#poison dart frog#based on my most popular frog to date (day 651)#inspired by everyone pointing out what they think it looks like#here's a fun secret fact the original guy is actually a phantasmal poison dart frog (Epipedobates tricolor)#(according to the original artists title of the drawing)#not Anthony's poison arrow frog (Epipedobates anthonyi)#i feel too awkward to really point it out though because they look the exact same. i cannot tell if there is a difference#im half convinced the same frog was just discovered and named twice#its very curious btw if you go on the (english) wikipedia page for either species it doesn't mention the other#while hereptiles.info (no idea if this is a trustworthy site) lists both names as common names for the same frog (incorrectly??)#while inaturalist lists them as two different frogs. curiously with tricolor having wayyyyy fewer photos#ok anyway that's my rant i went on a whole journey trying to figure out if these are the same frog or not and i have no answer#i did some more 'research' and i am more confused. some sources seem to imply they are now considered the same species ( e. tricolor)#i think my conclusion is i am willing to agree the drawing looks more like e. anthonyi. it seems like tricolor is generally less vibrant re#and the white is darker and more green?#i feel like thumblr should stop me from typing more in the tags at this point this is a whole essay#at this point i am failry convinced this is specifically the Santa Isabel frog. isthat the real subspecies or morph or whatever#or just the name pet sites are using to sell it??#i even found some sources (frog selling websites) refering to it as “Epipedobates Anthonyi 'Santa Isabel' Phantasmal Poison Dart Frog” lol#Anyways if you read this far hi. species are confusing. i am not a frog scientist#the first few tags are like an hour old now i just kept trying to figure it out and adding more tags

MINORS DNI!!!!!!!! 18+!!!!!!!!!!!!!
yandere!stepbro!peter parker x f!reader
it’s been a couple days since you saw peter steal your underwear. you knew peter had been acting strange around you: taking pictures of you, watching you shower, lurking when you sleep. you hadn’t confronted him at the time, enjoying the attention wanting to see what exactly he planned to do.
you leave the door ajar after may and your dad left, hoping to finally catch your pervert step-brother. you slowly start to take off your shirt, biding your time for peter. you look over, as casually as you could, to see peter’s hazel eyes peeking through the gap. you look away before you could be noticed, pretending to struggle with the strap of your bra. your heart beats fast, but you don’t stop him, choosing to let him watch. adrenaline pumps through your veins and you feel butterflies in your stomach. unclasping your bra, you hold back a gleeful smile, imagining peter creeping into your room. you bite your lip, thinking of his calloused hands helping you undress. you hear a door slam open and you jump, hoping to see peter inside.
may’s voice calls out as you stare at your closed door, “guys! we’re home!”
your disappointment quickly disappeared, instead replaced with glee at the idea of tormenting your new step-brother. may and your dad haven't paid attention to your antics, but you've been quietly taunting peter since that day: wearing a see-through shirt without a bra, bending over in a skirt with nothing underneath, leaving your panties in the bathroom for him to find, promising him a kiss if he does you a favor. you knew peter wouldn't do anything to you; he was harmless, so you had no trouble teasing your virgin idiot.
you hold back a snort, watching peter's eyes alternate between staring at your boobs and his laptop. you lean against the doorway, "did may and my dad leave?" peter swallows, his adam's apple bobbing at the sight of you. you had stolen one of peter's shirts, knowing he would cream his pants with one look at you.
"are you not- is that my shirt?" peter quickly looks away, eyes burning a hole into the screen.
you step into his room, ignoring his question to lean on his desk. "you workin'?" peter's breath catches in his throat and you hold back a laugh.
"y-yeah, jameson needed a couple pictures, so i was-"
you sigh, interrupting him. you lean onto peter, his face smushes into the side of your boobs. "boorring. i'm going out later, so don't wait up for me." peter nods, frozen in place.
"cool." you move to press a kiss to his cheek and peter's eyes widen, eyes darting down to your cleavage, "see ya." you wink, leaving him blushing.
"ha yeah, that loser hangs on my every word." you snicker, taking a sip of your drink. your friends had gotten together at a new club in the city, hoping to get drunk off of free drinks from the clueless losers coming up to your group.
"you ever think about fucking him? he is kinda cute." one of your friends pipes up and a chorus of ewws echo.
you laugh, "please, like i'd ever let that loser put his dick in me."
"then you wouldn't mind if i get with him." your friend tilts her head at you, a smirk behind her glass. everyone pauses at the question and you stare at her, irritated.
"you wanna fuck a guy obsessed with his step-sister?" you raise your eyebrow, trying to hide your annoyance.
she laughs, "i don't know... i'm kinda into it. you think i can pass off as you?" she giggles. your friends look over at you, waiting for a response. you're not sure what expression you've made, but her face freezes, "it-it was just a joke, (y/n). i-it's not like you actually like- i didn't mean-" you pursed your lips, making a sound of disapproval.
"this is annoying." you put your glass down, not nearly drunk enough to leave, but suddenly too aggravated to be around her. "i'm leaving. you've ruined the mood." you stare at your friend, jaw clenched; she deflates, meekly whispering apologies.
you storm out of the club, waving off your worried friends, to hail a cab home. you stand in the street for 2 very long minutes before stomping your feet and texting peter. he doesn't say much, only responding with a quick 'sure. wait somewhere empty'.
he was surprisingly fast, getting to you as soon as you were in the clear. pete- spiderman was quiet as he swung down in front of you. you raised your arms, gesturing to him to pick you up. he steps closer, hesitating for a second, before wrapping his arms around you in a hug. you freeze, taken aback, but you don't complain. "i'm only letting you do this cause i need a lift." you grumble and he nods.
peter wraps an arm around your waist before swinging off. you bury your face into his neck, used to his method of travel. he sets you down on the roof of the apartment building and you pout, "are you seriously going to make me go down the fire escape?"
"i heard you arguing with your friends." his voice is light, almost playful, and he steps a little closer. you don't back up, refusing to let him get the upper hand.
"and?" you fold your arms, pushing up your breasts. a part of you hopes that would distract him enough to let you go, but he doesn't falter.
"and... i know we feel the same." he pulls off his mask and you see peter's face again.
you look away, "i don't know what you're talking about, pervert." peter steps closer; you don't move, letting him cup your face. his suit was rough on your face, but you found comfort in the feeling.
"i don't wanna force you, (y/n), but i will if i have to." peter's eyes darken and you swallow, hoping to hear more.
"what're you gonna do, peter? how exactly are you going to force me?" you smile, innocently.
peter's eyes widen before he looks away, "don't make me spell it out for you, idiot."
"no. spell it out for me, pete. i wanna hear you say it." you watch peter's eyebrows furrow.
"i-i like you." peter looks away, bashful, and you tilt your head.
"that's it? i thought you were more interesting than that, pete." you sigh, feigning boredom. "i'm going back-"
"wait-" peter grabs your arm, "what do you want to hear?" his eyes are wide in surprise.
"the truth, stupid," you flick his forehead, "i wanna hear what you think about me, what you want to do to me." peter stays silent, watching you. you sigh, "i should've known. you're too much of a loser to do anything."
peter's grip on your arm tightens, "i like you so much, i took pictures of you in lecture, at home, at parties, and made collages of you. i like you so much, i stole your underwear and jerked off with them." you turn to see peter's eyes focused on you as he continued.
you grin, listening to every perverted confession. "i like you so much, i would watch as you showered and changed. i would watch you go to parties and make sure that no one came up to you after you get drunk. i would take you home and feel your skin and make sure you didn't have sex with anyone else as i changed you. i dreamt about being with you, having you as my own. i want all of you, (y/n)... i don't care if you don't feel the same." peter continued to ramble out his devotion to you and you feel your heart soar.
"peter..." you couldn't hold back your smile, cutting him off. peter stops immediately, waiting for you to continue, "is may and dad home?" peter's expression darkens at the question.
he pulls you into a kiss, possessive and crushing as he tries to pour his soul into yours, "no, they're not." his breathing is heavy and you feel warmth pool in your lower stomach. peter's hand travels down to to your shorts.
"then take me to your room-" you lightly push his chest, stopping him for a moment, "and make me feel how much you love me, petey."

I'm not sure if I believe the "Wakaba Isshiki did unethical experiments" theory in the fandom, but I do think this is the biggest proof of it in-game:
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Because how the hell would she know that?
The first explanation is that she did experiments by sending people into palaces and then testing what happens to them if the palace collapses. Which is messed up for obvious reasons.
The second explanation is that she did NOT test it, meaning she was just making shit up. Which is funny but also would make her a terrible scientist. This explanation is less believable because everything else about her research is too accurate.
There's also a theory that Wakaba did unethical experiments on Akechi specifically. I'm not sure I believe that, since the evidence for it is pretty shallow (like the featherman game scientist experimenting on grey pigeon). But this scene is once again the biggest argument you could make for that theory. The researcher in the image above refers to palaces by their correct term 'palaces', which they say was based on Wakaba's research. But that's only something you would know with firsthand experience of the metaverse. And the only person they know who could access the metaverse was Akechi (that we know of, but i dont think Shido would rely only on Akechi if there were other options).
So yeah this scene is very sus. It's most likely the writers didn't think too deep about the implications. There's no way they wanted Futaba's mom to be sketchy, right? But even if it's not intentional, the scenes and their implications still exist. So in conclusion those theories make sense, I get it, and I don't blame anyone for headcanoning them and having fun. And tbh anyone involved with cognitive psience was portrayed as some degree of unethical (maruki for example), maybe this is just on-brand

Jimmy's apology to Curly is bullshit. At least it is to me. First the only thing Jimmy is apologizing for is taking the Captain position from Curly. Nothing else. Because it's just Jimmy handing responsibility over to Curly again, you know scapegoating him. This is why he doesn't apologize to Daisuke or Swansea despite clearly feeling bad about them. This is why he doesn't even think of Anya.
Jimmy's not actually sorry for hurting Curly. There's no "Sorry I beat you and force fed you meds" or "Sorry I verbally abused you in front of the entire crew" or even "Sorry I ate your leg". Instead we get "You were right being Captain is hard, you be Captain again cause you're better than me. Also let me pretend to save you so I feel like a hero". Yeah Jimmy's only sorry he got himself into more trouble than he could handle even if he feels bad about how some of the crew ended up.

RWBY x The Odyssey crossover time 😎
Basically if the Odyssey took place in the RWBYverse, but Odie & co. end up in the Ever After. Since I have a compulsive need to figure out useless details, I'd like to say Odie's Ever After tour takes place in the early days of Huntsmen & Huntresses. Just gives me a reason to justify weapon designing and keep the less than functional battle gear, XD
Please forgive the name changes ORZ I attempted to find better fits for RWBY's naming convention, and I went and made it harder for myself setting this after the Great War.

I was rewatching TPOT 15 and I just noticed something. Pencil had her breakdown AFTER encountering Four in the past. Let me explain.
So in TPOT 15 when Cloudyay had to get Disky back from BFB 22 they were blamed for stealing Donuts Diary and were put on trial, they obviously don’t wanna be there so they throw Pencil and Golfball at Four and break out. Hijinks insue, yada yada. But I wanna talk about what moments in this sequence interests me and why I think that Pencil breakdown was caused by seeing Four again. 
When they’re trying to run after Disky, Four pops up infront of them and tells them that they’re on trial. Pencils face here is what interests me, because this is her first time seeing him in months. The last time she saw him was in..TPOT 13? I believe? Idk, however she doesn’t looked too shocked here. Compare that with the other times he’s shown up spooking her. 
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Ok, yeah it’s almost exactly the same- but my point still stands. He caught her off guard, he spooked her. And that ripped the bandaid off, she’s still not safe from Four even when she’s doing challenges. That was the thing that was holding her inside of them for YEARS and that kicked off her fear of elimination. Just the sight of seeing him again made her brain go haywire.
Next two I’ll be covering together as they’re literally back to back. Firstly we have her face while Pillow is throwing her. She wants to hit Four, she wants to hurt Four in that moment. But when she actually hits him she’s shocked, probably because she didn’t do the damage she wanted. She didn’t hurt Four enough. We see this while Cloudyay’s exiting the courthouse. Her face is angry, and her arms are crossed, either ticked off after her lack of damage from earlier or from seeing Four.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
And lastly before the big moment we have her snapping at Golfball to just leave already.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
She doesn’t want to be here anymore. She doesn’t want to be captured by Four again. She doesn’t want to go near Four again. And Golfball suggesting they fix the place which means going back to Four and possibly getting captured in the process, that’s a big no no. Pencil doesn’t want to risk being captured by Four again just to revive some contestants of another show. Especially a show she has bad memories from. 
Because of going back to BFB 22 and interacting with Four, her (suspected) main trigger of her PTSD. She acts irrational, she blows up at Golfball and is the reason her team got sent back in time to BFDI 25. This one encounter she has with Four is what starts her spiral in TPOT 16-17 (she also gets constantly triggered by Four in BOTH episodes. She gets chased by them in TPOT 16 and is riding a variant of them in TPOT 17..and also the entirety of the elimination in that episode…and the fact that Four made Yellow Face’s and Pillow’s eliminations especially brutal, as a treat ^^) 
Video for proof that I didn’t take this out of context

Why is Hera so hostile to Leto in a manner that she isn't with the other lovers of Zeus? I can't think of any other woman who was targeted so much by Hera. One could say she didn't want Leto to give birth because her children would be a competition to Hera's children, but why bother her even after she had already given birth? Is it because Leto herself is also a threat to Hera?
Sort of I guess?
I don't think Leto would ever be a threat to Hera's role as the queen of the gods but Hera might see her as a competitor for Zeus' affection, even though I think Zeus would not marry someone else and replace Hera.
The twins are definitely a big reason why Hera begrudged Leto - it is outright stated in the Callimachus Hymn to Delos that the reason Hera especially targeted Leto was because she was told that Apollo would be dearer to Zeus than Ares is. Zeus is very proud of Artemis as well. As he himself puts it, he doesn't mind facing Hera's wrath for children like her.
But the continued hatred even after the birth of the twins (like sending Tityus to rape Leto) could have been for different reasons. This wasn't like one of those affairs Zeus would have with mortal women where he'd leave them behind once the child is conceived. Neither could Hera, despite her many attempts, get rid of Leto like she did with the other lovers. Not only did Leto give Zeus children that he loves dearly, she also stayed on Olympus despite Hera's hatred towards her (which isn't directed to any of Zeus' other divine mistresses, btw). It might have also been because Leto herself is dear to Zeus, if the way she's treated on Olympus is any proof. In the Homeric hymn to Apollo, Leto stands next to Zeus - in the Olympian assembly - to welcome their son. Hera is completely absent from the scene, as if Leto had taken her place even if temporarily. Now you could say this is because Apollo himself is such a powerful and glorious son in a way that no other son of Zeus is, so of course Leto would get such an honor (the hymn itself presents it this way).
But here's another instance - in the Iliad, when Hera goes to seduce Zeus, he is obviously very smitten but before getting into the action, he lists some of his lovers (I believe these were his favorite lovers, as a lot of others are not mentioned):
"for never has such desire for goddess or mortal woman so gripped and overwhelmed my heart, not even when I was seized by love for Ixion’s wife, who gave birth to Peirithous the gods’ rival in wisdom; or for Acrisius’ daughter, slim-ankled Danaë, who bore Perseus, greatest of warriors; or for the far-famed daughter of Phoenix, who gave me Minos and godlike Rhadamanthus; or for Semele mother of Dionysus, who brings men joy; or for Alcmene at Thebes, whose son was lion-hearted Heracles; or for Demeter of the lovely tresses; or for glorious Leto; or even for you yourself, as this love and sweet desire for you grips me now.’ (Book 14, trans. A. T. Murray)
Notice how when talking about most of them, he also mentions the children they bore to him but when Demeter and Leto are mentioned, he doesn't bring up their children at all despite them being some of the most accomplished kids of his. What's more, he takes Leto's name just before Hera's. I mean, this is an interpretation but it looks like not only did Zeus love Leto the most out of all his mistresses - giving her a place second to that of his wife, but also his love for her wasn't necessarily only because she gave him two amazing children.
Nonnus does something similar in the Dionysiaca (but this time Zeus is enamored with Persephone instead of Hera) but more notably, when Typhoeus attacks Olympus and Zeus is discouraged, Nike takes the form of Leto to encourage him and it's pretty telling of what Leto meant to Zeus.
One interesting similarity between Hera and Leto is that they both had a giant try to rape them. Porphyrion tried to violate Hera (Zeus inspired him to do this) and Tityus tried to violate Leto (upon Hera's order). Though both of them were killed, only Tityus got an eternal punishment in Tartarus of having his liver/heart eaten out by vultures so Zeus seems to have taken a greater offense at Tityus trying to assault Leto.
Again, I don't think Zeus would ever take anyone other than Hera as his permanent wife - she is irreplaceable to him. There's an entire myth about Hera leaving him and Zeus winning her back. Their relationship is obviously complex and involves all kinds of emotions including love and hate. But Leto is continually dear to him as well and that's something Hera can't do much about.
#Zeus#Hera#Leto#if you think about it Leto is like the opposite of Hera#she is a great mother#she bore children that Zeus is actually proud of#she never rebels and even begs for forgiveness when her son rebels against Zeus#she's generally mild natured and never lashes out#also if you look into this obscure myth of how Hera established an altar in the name of Leto#because Leto's name was used to cover up the secret relationship between Zeus and Hera#(which kinda sorta implies that Zeus was *maybe* courting or even married to Leto at that time)#it all gets even more complicated for both Hera and Leto#ALSO in the texts that record the syncretism bw Greek and Egyptian gods#Some authors make Hera the mother of Apollo#and Leto was Apollo's nurse#Those texts also mention that this Apollo defeated Typhoeus and became the king of Egypt#So he was like the ideal son of Zeus and Hera#And it's so interesting to me#how this Apollo - the perfect son of Hera - transitioned into a sort of rival figure to Hera in the greek myths#and Typhoeus who was defeated by Hera's son became the son of Hera in the Greek myths#on a different note#to this day I can't understand why Zeus would inspire Porphyrion to do such a thing#was it to get back at Hera for the Tityus incindent?#I shall headcanon it that way (even though I prefer to ignore this version)#well of course not that Zeus would have ever let Porphyrion actually have his way with Hera regardless of the reason#but yeah that was such move and it's wild that the mythographer didn't tell us that reason behind Zeus' action#I've also seen people hc that it was because Zeus wanted Heracles to save Hera so that she's accept him finally#which is also an interesting explanation#especially if you consider that Heracles was also given Hera's breast milk (without her consent)#anyway that's enough rambling ig

One of the most important things to practice in analyzing or even appreciating media is placing that media in the appropriate historical context.
For example, it is incredibly short-sighted to criticize Revolutionary Girl Utena for being formulaic and reusing animation sequences based on preferences and standards from the 2020s, but it's also incredibly short-sighted to only rebut that the repetitiveness is thematic when it was animated in 1997 and directed by a guy who worked on Sailor Moon.

nothing so aggravating as seeing people claim what Hades did was just a misunderstanding because he ''loved Persephone too much''. like i don't know about you, but it's pretty hard for that to turn into building a town based on slavery and later getting a girl and assaulting her (even if it's just implied, he still at least had to pretend to do something like it, because his goal was to make Persephone mad).

[concept] ayano trying to “matchmake” (arrest) mida rana
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Ayano: Trust me, this will benefit all of us. Akademi gets one less predator and we get known for ‘bringing justice’.
Ayano: All you have to do is ask her for extra tutoring after school, and hide this audio recorder in your bag.
Toga: Right…
Ayano: …
Ayano: I’ve also seen her getting a bit too personal with some of the underclassmen…
Toga: Huh?
Ayano: Hazu didn’t look too comfortable with her putting her hands all over his face…
Toga: You mean…
Toga: Dammit. Fine, ill do it..
Ayano: Really?
Toga: Really. You should’ve mentioned that you’ve actually witnessed her doing something sooner, you know?
Ayano: Mhm..
Ayano: We’ll do it tomorrow, I’ll tell you the details after class.

I lost the Sword Fight against Hermes. But worry not, I started a new story and completed it today (unfortunately, Hermes decided that he still wanted a cameo, so now that guy is going on my list - I don’t know what that list is but it exists now with Hermes right at the top).
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Also, here some more memes I made while I struggled against Hermes. Memes be upon thee.
(Btw, I’ve been treating the crew like Blender!Odysseus has been, they don’t exist unless they want to be inconvenient. I don’t want to write about them but they’re always there 😭. I just want to bowl them over like pins.) Like before this story will also go on the blog. Though any other snippets I do make will just go straight there now, Tumblr is fighting me tooth and nail against my paragraphs.
~ Odysseus
Odysseus was being followed. It was not one of the divine, looking for vengeance or entertainment. Nor was it a monster, protecting its home or hunting for food.
No, it was something familiar. Something worse. 
“Captain, help!” Something naughty.
Yelps and shouts erupted from the crew as something blurred around them, tripping them over and giggling. Odysseus only sighed, this was quickly becoming a familiar occurrence. They had landed on a random island, one Odysseus knew was safe from previous loops, to find more food. Just like those times before, there was nothing of worth on this island, but it was safe. 
Safe for rest and sleep, safe from storms and divine rage. And safe - “Captain, move!” - for meeting little rascals with a taste for trouble. 
Odysseus, having done this little reunion multiple times, crouched down; arms open to welcome the little blurr. A joyful squeak echoed in his ear when little arms clung to Odysseus’ neck. Hair blocked the looper’s vision when his cargo nuzzled into him. A moment of peace passed between them, Odysseus relieved knowing that the child was alright. 
He knew that the crew was watching, unable to recall the child as always, and they would have questions and suspicions. But Odyssues had stopped caring for such things - couldn’t care for them. They would never remember, not like her. The last loop had ended with Odysseus being killed on a random island; an unfortunate incident between his crew and the locals. And as always, the little girl was stuck on the island as time rewound. Left to find her own way back to Odysseus. An exhausting journey. 
The child never seemed hurt. But Odysseus wanted her to be safe. 
A hand patted Odysseus’ cheek, a shy call for his attention. Before he could pull away to look at her, the child pushed something into his hand. A happy squeak and hopeful smile was all the encouragement Odysseus needed to look at his newest gift.
A screw shell. It was smooth and whole, Odysseus ran his fingers over it and felt no bumps or serrated edges. It was still wet too, making the lovely pink and red pattern shine in the sun. It was such a small thing, the shell was shorter than his middle finger and thin enough to seem fragile. One may leave it and try to find a bigger shell at a beach or just pass by. It was one shell amongst hundreds of others.
And it was the same one Poseidon had given him last loop. 
Hanging in the middle of a simple necklace made by the child.
Resting on his chest as he lay on the wedding bed with the Sea God and Penelope.
Waiting.
Odysseus drew the child into a hug, shaking. The child stilled slightly, her hands patting him like he was cracking glass; warbled squeaks asking a familiar question. He only gave a tighter hug, hand rubbing the child’s head gently when Odysseus felt her pull away. 
“I’m fine.” Odysseus promised, his voice thick and eyes watery. The child made another warbly squeak, clearly not believing him, but moved to return his hug. Odysseus stood up, lifting the child up and letting her cling to him like a barnacle; uncaring of his crew’s questions and needs. They would get into no trouble here, they haven’t been able to before.
In the island there is a forest, easy to traverse in and enough light peeking through the canopy to see. On this island, there are only a few small birds that can’t bring a satisfying meal to a single man. The same could be said for the schools of tiny fish that frequent the island’s shores or the scattering of wild berries growing in tiny clusters. If a starving man came to this island for salvation, he would find Hermes coming to collect his soul. However, there is something good on this island.
Further inland, perhaps in the middle, there is a clearing. One with a pond holding clear water, safe to drink, and soft grass cradling patches of wildflowers. The sun’s rays shone upon this clearing, warming stones large enough to lay on. A pleasant place to rest. 
One Odysseus had shared with two Gods in pasts that no longer exist.  
Now, Odysseus shares this clearing with a little joy. One who splashes into the pond to hunt for weeds and creatures. Climbs up trees to hang around haphazardly, jumping off to find a new climb to conquer. Sneaking in grasses too short to try and catch a tired man off guard. Someone who brings trouble with terrorised frogs dropped on nosy men’s heads. Someone who brings peace with the small leaves, flowers, and a shell gently woven into feathers pushing for space on his skin. A menace who giggles the day away.
Odysseus smiles, knowing he shares one of his favourite places to the little menace who will remember everything. The one currently nodding off in his lap while he braids flowers into her hair while they watch the darkening sky. He holds her in his lap, stroking her head as she curls into him. Arms wrapped around one another to ensure the other won’t leave. 
They leaned against a tree, firm against Odysseus’ back; its branches and leaves providing a steady cover against the elements. The gentle winds rustled the leaves, bringing cool air to swirl around the pair after their day. The pond’s water rippled as the wind moved around and the tree gifted leaves, making a soft sound as it lapped up on the grass. Eventually, these things were rewarded by small, drowsy breaths. 
Odysseus smiles. Even as his cheeks ache, he doesn’t stop smiling. He knows he has something good to find in every loop. Knows that with all the suffering and the waiting, he is not alone. 
Odysseus smiles, even as sleep starts to call for him.
“Sleep well, my precious menace.”
WHUDHSHFHSHHHHH— HIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII
Tumblr media
HUHJH- as expected w/ Hermes 😔/j
he just can’t mind his own business, nosey little guy/affectionate-
LMAO- yeaaaaahh The Crew (along with The Suitors) r mostly here just to be demonstrations of how bad Odysseus gets, minus sometimes Eurylochus. He def has character moments of guilt over Ody’s’ changed personality (bc everytime it’s obvs smthings up, he assumes it’s his fault bc he opened The Windbag oof), horror over said Captain’s steady decline in sanity + the ruthlessness / emotionless he now displays, and in general: being a outside Mortal P.O.V of Odysseus slowing succumbing to The Urgestm.
srs tho, I do feel a bit bad 4 The Crew whenever I imagine scenarios 4 Ody’ crashing out :’)
haha :D
Anyway, more memes be upon us :3 :
1st meme: AHGHFGG as I said before, accurate representation of EPIC! Hermes. He’s so powerful that the urge to add him in infects everyone’s writing 😔😔😔 (I pray 4 u man/gn /j)
2nd meme: THTHGGG THE REALISATION PGGGGG- oops- lmao Zeus was so caught up with the Babi that he didn’t stop to consider the oddness of. This is not a bastard of his. But. They look like him 4 some reason. Huh????? I imagine it’s either Hera, Athena, Poseidon or all three saying the first part to him
3rd + 4th meme: PERFECT SUMMARY OF THIS WHOLE BULLSHITEREY MANIC LAUGHTER DVFFFFFDFFDVGGFG
Kronos but actually Little Menace strikes again ✨✨
5th: omg nooooooo- don’t fall 4 the temptation man/gn gO TO SLEEP‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️ GET UR REST‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️ SHAKES U VIOLENTLY/j‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️

HOW DARE YOU🫵🫵🫵🫵🫵🫵💥💥💥💥💥💥💥/affectionate
Odysseus opening his arms, waiting for Menace to rush at him,,,,, criesssssssss,,,,,,
Ssssssssss- Odysseus being uncaring of The Crew is what I expected,,,, it still aches :’).
OHHHHHH- Little Menace being stuck on (what I assume is) Helios’s Island every beginning of The Loop hurts omg 😭, she travels hundreds of miles across the sea to spend time with her dad HDSBBBVGGVFF why did u hurt me this way :””)…
THE SHELL GIFT DIES AHYUHJGTYGJKGSSCSEFGJILHFVDFWTHHGHHUYGGHHHJUHNBHHYH I LITERALLY FROWNING LIKE ‘:(‘ RN AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA WHY—
“It was one shell among hundreds of others”
“And it was the same one Poseidon had given him last loop.”
“Hanging in the middle of a simple necklace made by the child.”
“Resting on his chest as he lay on the wedding bed with the Sea God and Penelope.”
“Waiting.”
,,,
:( ouwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwWWWWWWWWWWRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA🦅
happy, yes, very good angst ty for meal :3 🍽️
Odysseus tearing up ouuuuuuuuuu- my poor little man :((.
AHA- I SPOT HERMES REFERENCE🫵🫵🫵🫵‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️
also holy shit, the wording for that paragraph (spec the bit w/ Hermes bc of course) was absolutely FIRE🔥🔥🔥‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️
Oh wowie1!!!1!!! what a lovely sounding clearing !!! wonder if-
*Wetthunderthighs mention plus Time Loop Time Looping*
ah
/affectionate 💔
srsly this whole thing is very sad, what I wanted but still. Sad :3.
,,,,also is my mind utterly smut diseased or does that moment in another Loop in that clearing sound like a good place to have f- 💥💥💥💥💥💥💥💥💥🔫/j (I sorry 😔)
oh this bit is perfection just:
“Now, Odysseus shares this clearing with a little joy. One who splashes into the pond to hunt for weeds and creatures. Climbs up trees to hang around haphazardly, jumping off to find a new climb to conquer. Sneaking in grasses too short to try and catch a tired man off guard. Someone who brings trouble with terrorised frogs dropped on nosy men’s heads. Someone who brings peace with the small leaves, flowers, and a shell gently woven into feathers pushing for space on his skin. A menace who giggles the day away.”
HIYHDDFBGGBNNGGGBBBBBAAAAAAATTTTHGFFGBBGGGGVVVFVFFVBHNHGGGGGNHGJJJJHGNHNFGNJJGGGBHHHNH—
yeah I have no words but oh my gods this is perfect 😭🫶🫶🫶🫶
THE FINAL KICK- Odysseus smiling so much it hurts & letting Menace snuggle up on his lap as he silently rejoices on the fact that Little Menace will remember. This pint sized troublemaker will know about what’s happened just now. And will cherish it forevermore, cherish their moments together. Will. Just REMEMBER THEM…
the sheer depressing love radiating from that thought is so incredibly powerful, I love them so much Anon. You’ve made me attached Anon ☹️,,,
onto the extra bits :b-
*slams hands on table violently*
OPEN ARMS. WHY THE OPEN ARMS.
did I already mention Odysseus has forgotten what Polites looks like :)?
AHHUU)MOKOOGGFHTHHDG&GBGGG EVEN WHEN HE REACHES AS FAR AS A HUMAN’S LIMIT CAN GO HE STILL CARES FOR HIS LITTLE GIRL (+ Telemachus) 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
OoOOoOoOoOo- what’s this about with Pen’s’ promise???
is the Timeloop slipping??? Little Menace accidentally did something??? outside (maybe outside Greece) help????
plus,,,,
Oh dear what happened to Penelope???
is she starting to become like her husband???
Is that even Penelope???
Is KřØņ9š doing something to keep his Champion’s mind focused on The Goaļ åĦeĀ ď—- ¿¿¿
have to wait and see it seems…
+ get off my arse and write sm stuff myself lol :3/lh
again, I loved this & and am devouring it like a rabid animal hehehe 🫶🫶🫶🫶.
Wish u the best irl H.E! Anon :DD 🫶🫶🫶🫶 💜🖤✨.

I think one of the most interesting ways to write Steve’s parents (or his mom, at least) is as a deeply flawed person with good intentions.
Don’t get me wrong, I love a fic where they’re just bad people. Sometimes that’s all you need for a good story and this is not a criticism of anybody’s interpretation.
My personal preference in writing his parents is as people who are trying to be good parents.
Like, im currently messing around with this AU concept where Steve has a really complicated family dynamic. In it, he has bad parents. His mother made a choice to follow her husband because she thinks it’s the only way to preserve her marriage and thus preserve a good life for her son. It’s not malicious neglect but it is neglect. She’s trying to do the right thing but she’s making the wrong decisions. In the end, she’s still hurting her child.
A couple years ago I wrote this fic about Steve spiraling into a severe depression and his parents are trying to help him. They just don’t listen. They don’t understand what he’s dealing with and they make the wrong choices when trying to help him. Everybody that tries to help him makes the wrong choices, but with the best of intentions. Steve says repeatedly throughout the fic that it’s not his parents fault they don’t know how to be parents.
It’s really fun to write and it’s really cathartic if your relationship with your parents isn’t easy.
