Odysseus harmonizes with Scylla at the end of Syclla's song just like Athena had once harmonized with him, because he AGREES with her that they're the same because HE IS A MONSTER--but all he can bring himself to say is "I--" because he doesn't want to be the man-made monster but he must be!!!

I think that way too many people gloss over the reason why exactly those 6 men were such a big deal and a last straw for the crew and Eurylychous. Up to this point Odysseus made mistakes, yes, and people died because of them but never before has Odysseus made such a deliberate sacrifice.

Before this, he was still their Capitan - a bit arrogant, too prone to playing into Gods' Games and with a damnation right on his heels - but still on their side. Not to mention that this saga happens SO soon after Circe Saga, where he CAME BACK for them, put himself in grave danger and risked his return home to save THEM. Since the wind bag fuck up, this crew must have regained so much trust in him, Eurylychous must have felt so indebted and plagued by his own guilt because of his actions in Ocean Saga and Circe Saga. Because despite their doubts and question of How Much Longer Till His Luck Runs Out, their Capitan still came and saved them.

And then the Different Beast happens and it's ruthless and cruel but it's against their enemies, it feels like protection, no doubt. It's their Capitan making sure that they can make it home, that no other monster will follow them and make it impossible.

But then the Scylla happens and it never has been more clearer than there. Eurylychous would not be that furious if he didn't realize and he IS a second-in-command, he is not stupid. Six men who held the torches died and it was by Odysseus' order. This is no longer slaying every foe on the way home, this is Odysseus willing to sacrifice even them. Is it the same capitan who came back for them on Circe's island, is the same who always did everything he could to make sure they all made it back? How Are They Supposed To Trust Him Now?

This situation is so fucked and both sides have their point, I'm so sick of seeing posts putting the full blame on either side. They are all human and stressed and they don't know what to trust, what to do to come back home - and the worst part of it all, they probably never stood a chance.

After all, Zeus has already said they The Blood On Your Hands Is Something You Can't Lose, All You Can Choose Is Whose.

[parasolyaa]

my take on talia is that she is as unhinged as mischa. look, all we know about her is that:

• she and mischa were, quote, mad passionate online lovers. on facebook and twitter. in ukrainian. was it like а-ах мішенька не зупиняйся🥵 or more of a *ніжно цілує твої губи під пісні вокарчука*??

• she found him through his youtube channel called bad egg and wrote mostly positive feedback on his video. the girl spends her free time watching badly autotuned music videos about booze and bitches. she probably makes them too

• she styles her hair like julia fucking tymoshenko. not just that this hairstyle is super hard to make, but also what sane person would chose to resemble tymoshenko??

• she agreed to marry mischa (or mb even proposed herself) at the ripe age of 18, upon never seeing him irl and probably knowing him for less than a year if not a few months

• she consciously shortened her name from natalia to talia. this was, for all i know, never done before. also talia means waist in ukrainian so there’s that

• and her middle name (?) is legit made up. were her parents pranksters by any chance? cause the fuck is moruska

• did i mention that she choose MISCHA BACHINSKI?? i mean who wouldn’t but still

verdict: she and mischa had to be separated because keeping them on one continent could’ve resulted in irreparable consequences such as everyone starting to use bro as a pronoun and dying of prolonged exposure to swagness

Currently imagining Arthur + Gwen + the knights asking someone (maybe druids?) who this famous "Emrys" is and they proceed to do a version of "We Don't Talk About Bruno" while Arthur, Gwen and the knights grow increasingly more distressed with each line and Merlin hyperventilates in the background

Thinking about how Telemachus has heard "You are just like your father" by so many people for most of his life. How different yet refreshing it is to hear said father tell him warmly "You're so much like your mother".
