Artfight attack against @pillowspace and their amazing au! Words cannot even begin to describe my feelings about these three omfg (they can, this post would just be too long) so seriously go check out Celestial Sundown and all the other awesome stuff Pillow makes!
Epic songs used (because the Epic chokehold on me continues):
Scylla
Suffering
Monster
No longer you
Different Beast (in caption only because I couldn’t resist using it in a more heartbreaking context)
I sometimes like to fantasize about how much Corlys Velaryon would have fucked shit up if Alicent had actually managed to injure Luke in 1x07.
That man had a fleet, access to two full grown dragons with battle experience, money to burn and a pre-existing grudge against Viserys and the Hightowers. He wanted that smoke since the Great Council. And he clearly loved Luke.
Can I just say I love the 💅🏽! Eurylochus readings of puppeteer but honestly I raise you to: Eurylochus DID initially fall under Circe’s spell but got immediately snapped out of it when he remembered that his CAPTAIN who is also his BROTHER-IN-LAW is on the beach waiting for him to come back and he simply did not want the smoke of even adjacently cheating on Ody’s sister especially after he opened the wind bag causing them to be in this situation.
Discussion with The Cove about changing Ulbrecht's design to be full sawsbuck led to some doodles.
Bonus: his sister Annie
(they have fangs/tusks like... waterdeer. even tho literally nothing else shows waterdeer I just wanted the teef ok.)
I think the only "problem" I have with the Telemachus songs in this saga is that MICO sounds so much like a younger Jorge (which is so good!) and they don't ever really establish that it's Telemachus singing in the text of the song itself (and off the top of my head they don't say Penelope's name either?)
Obviously if you know the context or you're already a fan or you watch the livestream you know it's him, but someone who isn't overly familiar with the story could definitely be confused just listening to the music
I think even just mentioning that they're in Ithaca would clue people in, maybe? But they really avoid saying like any solid establishing details in the actual songs in Ithaca
I recently found out people ship Cassandra with Apollo.
My initial reaction was...
Just tan their hides. You know what happened to her because the the bastard, don't you?..
Then, I was overwhelmed by morbid curiosity, and checked AO3. People are writing rape fics about them. ...Why?..
Could I ever see Cassandra x Apollo?.. I don't know, maybe. But, definitely not the nonsense I mentioned. Dubcon at most. I guess, he might somehow coerce her into sleeping with him, and later rescue her from the fall of Troy, because she's pregnant with his child, or something (Zeus would be pissed, I'm fine with that).
Sounds like an intriguing story, with a lot of morally questionable elements. I can imagine Apollo confiding in Artemis, wondering why his wife is so upset. She'd just go "are you serious rn?.. -_-".
...What, you're surprised I'm among those I wish to hide with a broom? Don't be. It happens quite often, actually.
