they portrayed odysseus as unfaithful in hades 2--as in not coerced but in fact willing--and had his relationship with penelope end amicably after their death/in their afterlife. HADES 2 WHY U DO THIS TO ME

Fucking dammit.

like the art is gorgeous in that game but I never played it because I just knew this shit would happen and look. I'm so fucking pissed.

And I was so hoping, based on the fact that I've heard people say that you help Achilles and Patroclus reunite. The same would be for Odysseus and Penelope.

ACHILLES AND PATROCLUS AREN'T EVEN CONFIRMED IN THE ILIAD. ALL WE KNOW IS THAT THEY CARED DEEPLY FOR EACH OTHER! THAT DOESN'T NECESSARILY MEAN THAT WHAT THEY HAD WAS SEXUAL/ROMANTIC. (Stop downplaying platonic love. I beg of you)

UNLIKE the fucking Odyssey, where you're basically told all the fucking time, how much he loves her. Oh my fucking god. How can you fuck up a character so badly? Madeline Miller is getting too powerful and someone needs to do something about it.

I'm going to eat glass.

#Thank you for telling me my dear Anon.#I was thinking of maybe playing the game because he was in it but now I know that it will immediately become all bullshit because of that #Not even a “Oh other parts are good”. sure. they might be. but fucking up Odysseus has ruined it forever for me.#Jay thank you for having the most Odysseus-esque Odysseus out of all these retellings. You have Odysseus nicer but you at least #know damn well that this man adored Penelope.#It's not hard to fuck up Odysseus yet so many people do it.#ask #Mad rambles #shot by odysseus #anon
