A Maybe Not Really A Blog Thing
2K posts
Originally, this was supposed to be a blog for my Pokemon comics that I made on a whim (and by that, I mean it was based on the Pokemon story me and my brother made up when we were like 6). After my computer with Photoshop broke, I got stuck on how to...

Been arguing with someone on whether Odysseus was SA'd or not. They keep insisting that he wasn't cause that wasn't what the writer intended and that I'm just pushing my modern interpretation on him. This is not about any interpretation. Assault is assault. Simple as that. They still keep arguing that he wasn't forced. The text literally says: "-for he had got tired of Calypso, and though he was forced to sleep with her in the cave by night, it was she, not he, that would have it so."

SOMEONE FINALLY DID IIIIT
You know what I'd like to see in a Hold Them Down animatic? Odysseus stringing his bow in the background while everyone is distracted by Antinous rallying the suitors together, then he successfully shoots an arrow CLEANLY through 12 axe heads, *shwoop* it goes, also hitting Antinous. Maybe even with some sort of scope perspective? Like, the holes of the axes serve as the scope and Antinous can be seen through the holes before he finally shoots. This way, Odysseus also showcases that he's the rightful winner of Penelope's challenge while getting rid of Antinous.

Just heard Ithaca Saga and this popped in my mind...

"You fucking donkey" is honestly an understatement😂 The shift Odysseus went from dealing with the suitors and then meeting Telemachus in the next song right after made me think of this lol.

[-Not Really- Kickstarter] - Thorn for the Villain, an Otome Isekai OTOME Game
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
I just realized that I've never posted this... But, in case that you are unaware, I'm currently developing an ~otome isekai~ otome game, Thorn for the Villain ~Reincarnated as an Extra in an Otome Game?!~ As posted, I am actually running a -not really- Kickstarter campaign for it; it's not on Kickstarter, but it is a Kickstarter-esque campaign on Itchio and Ko-Fi, wherein your donations will receive special perks such as early beta access (which, by the way, may be running out...), discounted full game access (once fully released) or even a chance to have your OC cameo in a background as a poster. FYI, the Early Bird Discounts are all out For questions and more details, you may check out the FAQs here.

Seeing someone give a spoiler warning about what'll happen in The Odyssey is wild. Like, your heart is in the right place but... this is the 2000+ year old story😂

it's darkly funny to me at the end of the odyssey when odysseus and penelope talk about all the livestock and valuables they've lost to the suitors, and odysseus assures her he's gonna work really hard and soon go on lots of raids to get more, in the exact same tone as "don't worry honey, i'll work extra shifts down at the factory"

I do love how in the Odyssey you spend the first four books following Telemachus, hearing with him from everyone else how great and wonderful Odysseus is, and how tragic it is that he isn't there. You hear from Nestor and Menalaus and Helen, and even Athena and those left at Ithica are building Odysseus up as a great hero. The reader gets an idea of who he is and a sense of the pressure of Missing Legacy To Uphold for Telemachus.
And then we follow Hermes to Calypso's Island and still no Odysseus while Hermes and Calypso hang for a bit. And finally we meet the titular hero almost 5 books in, and the very first thing he's doing is weeping on the beach.
Which is such a facinating--and, to our modern ear, kind of funny, since tears arent """manly""" "hero" behaviour--juxtaposition of Great Hero vs man crying on the beach, and I love it so much. It instantly changes him from a hero of renown, a huge legendary figure Telemachus could never live up to, to a man who just wants to go home.

Why did Odysseus trust the Siren?
I don't remember who it was, but I watched someone react to the siren giving directions to Odysseus during Suffering and questioned why would he believe her- for all he knew, she could have been tricking him about that too. So, in the Odyssey this was mentioned:
No one ever sailed past us without staying to hear the enchanting sweetness of our song- and he who listens will go on his way not only charmed, but wiser, for we know all the ills that the gods laid upon the Argives and Trojans before Troy, and can tell you everything that is going to happen over the whole world.'
-Basically, they provide knowledge... but in exchange, you are lured to jump into watery death. That was why OG Odysseus wanted to listen to them in the first place (aside from clout of being the only one to survive from listening, I guess???).

Pre-Odyssey: Odysseus, Penelope and Her Ducks [Otome]~Development Blog~
Tumblr media
NaNoRenO 2023 is around the corner… and I couldn’t participate this year- but I did participate last year with Pre-Odyssey: Odysseus, Penelope & Her Ducks, an otome game from Penelope’s POV, with of course, one love interest, Odysseus.
If you’re interested, you can play it here: https://ant-san.itch.io/preodyssey
I got a few questions about this title from first impressions… why ducks? To which I’d answer: it’s a spoiler :) But if you know, you know ;) The game has two main romance endings, but the trickier to get is the one I consider as the ‘true ending‘.

Last night I've been thinking if there was anything Odysseus could have done to get through Scylla without sacrificing six of his men... And I was like- what if one of Odysseus' remaining men was a monsterfucker?
