Okay so i am thinking about my idea that odysseus' voice changed after hearing the sirens. I want to delve further into this in the future,, but for now the idea is that his voice is simply... quieter. Not always - when he yells in triumph, there is an entire chorus at his side. But it's careful, in a way. Sometimes he will trail off, like he just heard something. He always sounds like he is listening, as if someone is whispering in his ear and he cannot focus on the voice and speech at the same time.
There's also a certain note to it all, drawing you in. A gleam to his silver tongue. His words all the more sharp, persuasive, clever. Sometimes, he hums under his breath - a lullaby, a wedding song, a war drum. When people listen, tears well up and drop off their lashes. He does not understand - there was nothing to understand - he has always been humming that melody. It has always been there, in the birdsong, crashing of waves, howling of wind. It was in the laughter, the cries, the blood-curling screams. Has it not?
But then again, he faintly remembers a time where he was not listening intently, where he did not still at any and every rustle and whisper. He remembers a time where he was at peace. But that seemed so far away, a lifetime ago. It was too quiet before, and now there is a wholeness to it. He cannot imagine not hearing... it, whatever it was. At times it haunts him, and at time it eases his mind. But it's a part of him now, it rings through him and he breathes it and bleeds it and weeps it. He lives it.

i just love love love a whumper brutally beating the defiance out of their whumpee—
perhaps it’s only temporary, once their head stops spinning they’ll go back to spitting and cursing at whumper…. but whumper just beats the daylights out of them until theyre dazed and growling and angry— whumpee’s spitting words giving way to more and more humiliating sounds as whumper beats them into the ground again and again —
eventually, there’s just this sound—halfway between a choked gasp and a strangled groan
and whumper finally stops to listen to whumpee’s panted breaths, to wipe the strands of hair from their forehead, to admire how red whumpee’s cheeks have gotten from the embarrassment and whumper’s hand striking them over and over mere moments ago
