Antinous: When the crown wonders where the prince is, only the ocean and I will know!

Poseidon, still recovering from his encounter with Ody: HE IS NOT AFFILIATED WITH ME

[anniflamma]

Sooooo… a couple of weeks ago, I got bribed by an anon with some wonderful Daniel/Darius art. THIS WAS BEFORE THE WHOLE MANWHORE AU! But this art request fits pretty nicely in that AU, so why not?!

When Odysseus kills a bunch of people for his son, it’s fine, but when I, Poseidon,

[botlabyrinth]

sally’s “i want him to know who he is, before your family tries to tell him who they want him to be.” and poseidon saying “he will be stronger for it on the other side. his mother raised him well.” and he is. percy is stronger on the other side. we’ve seen it so clearly through his quest. his confusion at how you have to earn the gods’ love, earn their respect. his conversation with annabeth on the train about it. his unwillingness to accept the ways of the gods. him realizing his mother wanted to keep him away from this world, and annabeth being the one to tell him that maybe it was for the better that sally did that. so that he wouldn’t be like them. annabeth’s “he isn’t that way. he’s better than that. maybe i was that way once. but i don’t want to be that way anymore.” the way percy would’ve turned out with a similar worldview to annabeth’s if he had been sent to camp so early on. and annabeth’s worldview changing so quickly after meeting percy. sally jackson raised that kid right. you would think that as a demigod, the half god side of percy is what’s important. but that’s not what makes him the hero. it’s the half mortal side of him that does. his humanity, his mortality, his mother. that is why percy is the hero that he is.

My favorite scenes from The Odyssey (books 18 to 21)

Odysseus fighting a random beggar being its own book was not something I expected to enjoy this much when reading The Odyssey, but here we are.

Manwhore AU headcanon

I like to believe Manwhore Ody got home shortly after the war ended because he didn't have to deal with any of the bullshit that canon Ody has to deal with.

Like imagine: if only he seduced his way out of the whole Polyphemus situation, he wouldn't have pissed off Poseidon, meaning he would've got home pretty much immediately.

I'm not even saying he had to fuck Poly (he'd die), but he could've used his babygirl looks or something. Be like "I'm sorry about your sheep, pookie *bats eyelashes*", but no. He just had to abandon all reason and blind the cyclops before telling him his full legal name and address.

I haven’t stopped thinking about Horse Poseidon since the Amphi and Ody ask so I had to draw him.

[diamondsunbursts-and-marblehalls]

do you- do you think that maybe, sometimes when Sally's feeling sad or overwhelmed she makes an offering and Poseidon sends rain to let her know she's not alone?

More Olympians designs for Epic!!!

"ruthlessness" is a devastating song, no argument, but just how devastating it is always gives me goosebumps when i listen to it. i love that jay understands that silence can be as powerful as sound, and that's what really drives the loss of his men home, for me.

think about it; 600 men on a dozen ships initially, so that's about 50 people per ship. the 43 men left are solely on odysseus's vessel.

the men screaming his name, the wind roaring, and suddenly, everyone is gone. the silence is so loud. so final.

it's not like they fell overboard, and are screaming for help in the waves. they're gone immediately, and the sudden silence is so chilling.

i was listening to six hundred stike again (for the 9227582475827589 time) and the little

"oooohhh~ aaaahh~" (which i think is meant to be a throwback to aeolus's theme)

you hear at the beginning before the chants of

"600 men"

makes me wonder,,,, was aeolus trying to help odysseus, calling him to open the wind bag to beat poseidon?

....but the winions did tell him in dangerous

"it was meant to stop you by design"

so were they wanting him to open it and fail again??? almost like a siren's call to open the bag?

maybe... because as hermes said in dangerous

"we went through so much to get this"

as in aeolus didn't willingly hand it over this time? (hermes is the god thieves don't forget, he's stolen from gods before. he was only a baby when he stole apollo's cattle. how hard can a wind bag be?)

but either way what i don't think they expected was for

odysseus "i have the power of friendship & divine rage on my side" of ithaca

to then use said wind bag as a ye olde greek jetpack and (monsterously) curb stomp poseidon till he begs for mercy (and sounds so good doing it too) (sorry not sorry)

you know what, the other saving grace for the gods was that Poseidon, as bad as a parent as he is, is still objectively one of the better godly parents to have. Like he did vaguely show care for Percy every couple of years or so, told Percy that he was his favorite kid, and then said that his mom was "a queen amongst women" or something and I think that checked just enough boxes for Percy to make the gods redeemable for him. If Poseidon had treated Percy the way that Hermes treated Luke? Zeus treated Thalia? Athena treated Annabeth? Olympus would've been razed to the ground on Percy's 16th birthday lmao

I’m having a rough week and don’t have enough to commission this, but can I please get your Poseidon to just say ‘it’s gonna be ok?’

The Odyssey if I was Odysseus:

Eurylochus: Captian, there is a food shortage-

Me: where are we?

Eurylochus: About a three days out form Ithaca- but ma’am, the food. The men will go hungry and mad-

Me: no, I mean, like literally right now

Eurylochus:

Eurylochus: a.. a boat?

Me: Yes. A boat. That is on the ocean. What do people who live on boats in the ocean do for food?

Eurylochus: ?

Me: FISH. I’m sure the men can live on fish for three days. I have my wife and my ten year old to get home to

Has Cloudysseus met cloudsidon? I can only imagine the chaos those two would cause together

Not yet. But he Will 💖
