#this new emote was a mistake

[the-storyteller78]

Ok, the livestream of the Wisdom Saga broke me a little inside. And by a little, I mean a lot. Utterly. Entirely. And once I have all my thoughts together, expect a whole series of rants about every detail I managed to notice beyond the haze of my tears. But one realization I had was about Athena, Odysseus, and Telemachus.

Like many others, I thought it was hilarious that Athena would be up in arms defending Telemachus and openly calling him her friend when she knew Odysseus for much longer and was still in denial about their friendship. I thought there was something about Telemachus that was just more endearing to her, something that Odysseus lacked in character, in attitude, what have you. But with the release of the Wisdom Saga and all the reveals regarding so many of the unfinished little lyric blurbs we’ve heard before, one thing is clear: Athena would not be able to love Telemachus if not for Odysseus. Odysseus is the one who taught her what it is to have a friend. Odysseus is the one who held out his newborn son for her to hold, a privilege I doubt many had.

Without Odysseus, I honestly don’t think she would’ve given Telemachus a second glance. After all, she was searching for a warrior of the mind, and I don’t know that he would’ve lived up to even her prerequisite standards. Not worth the investment of her time, so to say. But because she does know Odysseus, because he showed her what it means to be more than a warrior of the mind, that there is more to life than walking alone, she changes.

She admits it. Odysseus is her friend. He is her friend, and she left him. And that acknowledgment brings her so much guilt she is unable to sleep at night. Guilt is not something she or any of the other Olympians would feel, especially not in relation to mortals. Why should they? Human lives are brief and meaningless. So for Athena to regret is not normal. Yet, she does.

She has learned humanity, and that is what leads her to Telemachus’ side. It is what allows her to cast aside old hurts and face up against Zeus to save Odysseus. It is what causes her to remember holding baby Telemachus in her arms all those years ago, and it is why that memory gives her the strength to persevere against her father’s onslaught.

It is why when she is on the ground, bloody and broken and beat, her last conscious words are used to beg for Odysseus’ freedom.

Her friend.

artfight is coming so i gave him a new outfit. also he wouldnt be an oc if i didnt give him one of my many issues i struggled with growing up: anger (as a response 2 a traumatic event). the image where hes having a panic attack basically is after he yells at kat and makes her cry (deep regret and he knew he had issues b4 but now hes really determined to get better) its alluded 2 in the (new) beginning of the story but i dont plan on showing it until later

theo is such a good character because he was DEF bad. like. the hate for him by the pack is warranted. no other villain split them up like that, no one questioned scott as an alpha, or got that close to killing him for good. theo was right, emotional pain is the pain that lasts. and it lasted!!!! they aint forget!!!!!!

I hate living in this world.

Alright...

So, I started working on the "Ice" doll. In my efforts to try different things anytime I do one of these, I decided to try sculpting the hair this time to achieve its cartoony-shape.

In my opinion, it turned out pretty good.

But...

It's Mario. I just made Super f*ckin Mario, which was NOT the goal here.

So I peeled it off, and I'm going back to the drawing board for his hair.

WHICH VERY SPECIFIC CHARACTER ARCHETYPE ARE YOU ?

the Matryoshka Doll. Someone with layers, and a painted surface hiding deep intricacy below. A person who changes completely in a blink of an eye, a person with contradictions but something cohesive holding everything together.

I don't love being she/her'd but if I know you know my whole gender thing I mostly don't care what pronouns you use like I'm literally just chilling you know but what does really annoy me is when people spell my name wrong because it's not! a hard name! to spell! and like I'm not talking about people who've just met me or don't know me I'm talking about like my mother in law whom I've known for 17 years addressing me in a text message as "bryn" and I'm sure she's just tired/busy/autocorrect but like girl it's in your phone number one and number two it's my fucking name. it's like one of the few things about me that I got to choose for myself that wasn't dictated by genetics or capitalism or mental illness it's just mine. and even when it's on accident it's like, hurtful, you know? i know what I look like and I know I am going to be read as female by people who don't know better but you have to ask me my name.
