#helen and paris

[littlesparklight]

Hot seduction tip: you can do devastating damage to someone's ability to resist their own horniness (especially for you) by being wildly into it when they lose their composure and pin you against a wall.

Even pulling Paris up on tip-toe Helen wouldn't be able to look him straight in the face, so she had to scrunch her back up~

Close up beneath the cut!

called this "smoochies ;)" in my head every time I went close up in my doc lol

Maybe I’ve got the timeline wrong but Helen is significantly older than Paris, right?

The more in think, the more I’m about the jaded middle-aged chainsmoker in a kaftan who-launched-a-thousand-ships.

the amount of times in the past few days I've listened to maroon by taylor swift and thought of helen of troy and paris is... somewhat concerning at this point

but like... "carnations you had thought were roses, that's us" and "I lost you, the one I was dancing with in new york, no shoes, looked up at the sky and it was maroon"?? like, as someone writing a story through helen's pov, midnights, and maroon in particular, has really helped me to explore what exactly their relationship is since it's different in practically every form of media (including the ancient greek lit about them)

RIP Diomedes you would have loved Call of Duty voice chats.

RIP Patroclus you would have loved winning every high school popularity contest.

RIP Achilles you would have loved Alpha male TikToks.

RIP Agamemnon you would have loved being an asshole CEO.

RIP Nestor you would have loved toddler leashes.

RIP Cassandra you would have loved being able to sue people for the damages they caused you.

RIP Hector you would have loved the Kentucky Derby.

RIP Paris you would have loved doxxing people anonymously.

Saying Helen is a passive female character is insane when she literally comes to Aphrodite with the absolute steel chair of “dear lord why are you here now? What? you’re gonna drag me along to a different city cause you have another boytoy there? How bout you give up being a goddess and let Paris wife you up or enslave you instead?”

Then when a literal goddess threatens to kill her for that goes to Paris and just says “it would be better if you died out there”.

We do not listen to the devil, we do not trust his charms. Except when we do. Listen, we've all got weaknesses! (The text from Book 3 quoted in the art taken from Caroline Alexander's translation.)

I wanted to see this part of Helen and Paris' scene in Book 3, especially leaning in on the seduction angle of it. Adaptations usually skip this whole scene/confrontation for various reasons, or, when kept, change it more or less (usually more). So - drawing it myself it was!

(Did Paris neaten up and put on some more jewellery between being put in his bedroom and Helen turning up? Well. Maybe! ;) I changed Helen's clothing a little compared to the comic-like page I did of part of her and Aphrodite's confrontation, but kept the colours I used!)

Helen: I think I'm in love with your brother. Hector: I’m sorry? Helen: I said, I think I’m in lo— Hector: No, I heard that. I'm just sorry.
