A day before the Ithacans leave for war
Eurylochus: My dear sister, may I have a word with you in private?
Penelope: yes, of course, Eurylochus. What did you wish to speak with me about?
Eurylochus: Would you do me a favor...please, can you look after Ctimene? I know we leave for Troy soon, but I’m worried for her health- recently, she’s been very unwell in the mornings, and frequently tired, and if neither me nor Ody are here to take care of her, I fear…just please watch over her, would you?
Penelope, realizing: oh
Eurylochus: …what are you thinking? My queen, you seem pale-
Penelope: it’s nothing, forgive me. Yes, of course I’ll look after her. But thank you for alerting me to her…condition.
(inspired by @notsolonedesert, aka the queen of Eurymene- Aha that rhymes- anyways the comic)

I keep getting reminded of how fucking antisemitic ive seen people be online and its just Jesus christ i am killing everyone. You dont see a cross necklace in someones video about how to make pasta and bombard them with that type of bullshit why do you do it when someones making a video abt how to mend a hole with a star of david pattern. You dont hear me mentioning being pagan and go 'oh but youre not one of the bad ones right'. Killing everyone actually. I spent years in elementary wchooö having units on historical racism and not once did this come up it is so deeply institutional i am going to stab everyone to death actuaööy bye. Fuck this

Thalia soitti ja sanoi, että jos en heti sano jotain positiivista suomalaisesta musiikkiteatterista, musikaalifanikorttini otetaan pois ja saan faniklubilta elinikäiset bännit, syynä kaikkia muita lannistava jatkuva negatiivisuus... joten tässä tulee:
Uusi Eden oli todella, todella hyvä uusi suomimusikaali, ja jos se menee Tampereen Teatterikesään, menette sitten joka ainoa katsomaan!!

LMM will be the most prolific in musical theater, yes, because he is a considerably wealthy brown man (who is pretty much white in ANY LatAm country), but do not make him the heir of Jonathan Larson when we have other musicals and stories happening that are more in tune with his legacy than LMM's wish to be his heir.

"Forever"
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
✰—-summery: seungmin has been realizing that he wants a forever with you. Honestly in whatever way you’ll have him. And maybe little domestic things like kisses on cheeks, lacing fingers a shared lived in home and a big ass ring on your finger, but now so overcome with love, he’s coming to realize he also wants to breed you. He knows no kids are on the radar for now… but a guy can have a fantasy right? And a guy can dream right?
✰--- approx: 30 min read
✰--- A/n i really have noting to say. I’m gonna continue my smutober series in the coming couple weeks yall trust 🙏🏼I have a few more smut fics that I’ll be getting to over the next couple weeks so think of it as an expansion of my lil smutober;)
✰— warnings/info: kissing, smut with sort of a plot ig, cursing, fluffy lovey dovey, tooth rotting fluff basically, breeding kink, raw fucking (do as I say not as I do wrap before u tap yall) ummm sex dream? As always bad spelling. Think that’s it
~this is simply a piece of fiction. My imagination onto “paper.” This is in no way is mean to be taken as an actual and real representation of anyone.~
if you don’t have an age indicator saying you’re not a minor in your blog then I will be blocking you! So minors dni!!
•••••••••••••••••••••
Seungmin can't count how many times hes fallen in love with you. from every time you laugh to the way you smoothed our your shirt that one time and have never done it since but for some reason hes been thinking about for two months.
hes a guy of repetition. he likes having a routine, he loves that youre a part of it. and for him, thinking about you is always a part of it. but so much so that he sometimes finds himself daydreaming and distracted, he should be embarrassed, having to ask people to repeat themselves because "oh wow y/n likes that shade of green that they're wearing" but he really doesn't care. but at the same time you make him work that much harder. make him want to do better to either make you proud or impress you like some eighth grader he doesn't know.
he loves his job, he really does, but all he wants to do sometimes is come home to you. it makes him not only work faster sometimes but harder. maybe because he wants to be good enough and worthy for you and your love or maybe just because you bring that side out of him more than it already is. whatever it is he knows you just make him better. and its cheesy and mushy but you really do complete him
his arm looks better when you hold it, his pictures feel empty when youre not beside him, and you feel the same way too-- the bed always is unreasonably cold when he isn't behind you holding you close to his heart. or when hes not inside you, lets be honest.
he laughs at the members when they tease him about you having "girlfriend privileges". and tells him he doesn't see it. but at first he really didnt. now he sees it so well he hears it. he prides himself in making you happy, being the best boyfriend he can. thats one of the things you love about him he takes everything on with a passion, devoted to his goals.
sure he still pokes fun at you and is a lovely little menes but lets be real he lovey dovy with you a lot of the times too! and you get away with so much more with a lovesick puppy look on his face than anyone else. he wouldn't go all aspiring poet and say youve changed him but youve just... brought out another side of him. and as much as he gives you hard time you both know he loves it.
and you secretly love it when he says ew when you kiss him then he tackles you peppering your face with them a mintute later
the slight obsession with you is borderline concerning he thinks at this point-- once someone flirted with him at a bakery and the only thing he could think about was how they were standing in front of that dessert he knew you liked and he politely just asked them to move cause "I think Im gonna buy that for my parter I want to take a closer look". needless to say the person got the message.
though he didn't even fully realize they were flirting with him until he told you the story of how "a week ago when I was at that bakery someone was talking to me but I wasn't paying attention cause they were standing in front of the cold case." he though they were, with the over the top smiles and that little giggle. but sadly he was easily distracted by the thought of how "yn would like this"
The downside to how much he thinks of you is that at some point during the day if he isn't careful hes gonna get half hard. he feels like some pre pubescent boy that can't control himself and he hates it. nevertheless, the girlfriend privileges continue-- with the playful banter between you two and how much you tease him. not many other people could get away with poking seungmin in the cheek and saying "poke" for a full minute without him saying something.
in fact, hes smiling.
and not that youre complaining one bit when sees you after a long day and pounces on you, trying to rip your clothes off. but make no mistake, as stated before hes soft for you. well, mentally at least, cause most of the time he can't seem to control his boner around you. but all this overwhelming feelings of love has to go somewhere... right?
and it just so happens to be expressed and poured out so wonderfully in bed. you think you noticed it before he did, but there has been a pattern with him as of late--
it all started with a team a out you. noting too out of the ordinary. you started on top of him, as he helped you bounced on his cock, so hard and leaking for you. somehow you needed up beneath him after you came, but seungmin wasn't done yet, still pumping into you, somehow deeper than before trying to reach spots he never breached. "damn I love you so much. mhm, gonna fill you up" he breaths out in his dream. your eyes rolled into the back of your head in pleasure, "you gonna put a baby in me? please?" you moan, cupping his cheek and holding his hand in such a sweet and domestic way that it should offset the way he was filling you up with his cum, slipping out of you then plugging your pretty hole with his fingers, thrusting anything that leaked out back in. gotta make sure it takes right? make sure you get nice a round a swollen in a few months
but it didnt, the look of pure love you gave him as he was babbling about breeding you? fuck that really got to him. dream you wanted this too? dream you loved and trusted him so much and wanted forever with him just as he did with you? So when he woke up, still hard and cum leaving a dark stain on his boxers. he didnt know what to do. usually he'd know the answer or honestly go to you to help him. but this was... different, uncharted territory. sure there was always the thought of something like this in the back of his mind but it was never this strong. let alone had he ever had a dream about it.
He turns to the clock, 3:43 sharp and after tossing and turning, flipping his pillow over three times and realizing it felt better on the first side he still can’t fall asleep. He lets his eyes graze over your sleeping still figure, you’re faced away from him body covered by the blanket. But the curves and dips of your are still visible. It’s dark but he feels like he can still see you so clearly. He could probably feel every bit of your too over that thin little blanket. If you could even call it that I mean it wasn’t really doing much to warm you he was sure. That’s when he pulled you close by your middle, pressing your back up to is chest, his fingers dipping under your shirt like it always does when you two cuddle (though when you’re awake it sometimes slides higher than others) god your skin was cold.
He subconsciously moved you closer moving his hips flush with your ass. Though in hindsight that might’ve not been the best idea. Seeing as he was now fully hard from his dream and your body settling into his wasn’t doing him any good. “Min?” Did you really have to call him that right now? But against his better judgement since it very much was 3 am in the morning right now, he stayed glued next to you. “Min?” For once he fumbles, “yeah?” “I know you’re awake.” He bends his neck down to peck the top of your head “doesn’t mean you have to—“ “thank you, I was a little cold” you interrupt him while turning your body around to face him, hooking a leg over his”
well if you didn’t know before now you do. He thinks. “I was already half awake don’t worry,” he sighs “I figured” you smile at the fact that by now he knows all your little ins and outs all your little quirks. “You we’re kinda loud” you chuckle, and before he gets a chance to respond you’re reaching over him to turn on the light, it’s something so mundane so normal but somehow he’s still enamored by you. And with the way you’re basically on top of him, titties in his face he’s not getting soft anytime soon. “I think you’re hearing things.” He playfully scoffs “I think I should schedule you an ear appointment. My grandma knows a good one, maybe you can get matching hearing aids” you chuckle “and I think you still have a hard on”
that shut him up quick enough. you smile to yourself, you swear the man was all bark no bite sometimes when it came to you. seungmin glances over to the clock again. "sweetheart its so late its early..." he mumbles, sliding a not so sneaky little hand up your torso. his hands finds the side of your breast, then your collar bone, then settles back down on the neckline of your sleep shirt, playing with it.
"your dream sounded interesting," you peck his cheek and he flushes as if he didnt just dream about pumping you full of cum a second ago, "what was it about?" you ask, ignoring his comment about the time. you lace your fingers with his and he brings your hand with him under the blanket, settling it on his now painfully hard feeling cock straining against his boxers without a word, just that mischievous little devils grin.
you peck his lips this time, seungmin craining his head to chase you, lips still slightly smelling of that chapstick you always put on before bed. his tasting salty like the light sheen of sweat that coats his face from his dream. though you plan on making him much hotter in the next coming minutes. he pulls you back down to his lips by the back of your neck. a gentle but firm touch that mad you go crazy. the kisses are needy, lustful, but somehow also full of pure love and passion. he doesn't quite know how to express all the good that he feels for you, he isn't sure he ever will, but whenever he kisses you like this of late, he hopes his feelings will get through to you.
and you feel the emotion he pours into it when it happens, you really do. he pulls away a little later, never tired of kissing you and hand down in-between your legs rubbing your soaking pussy. "I just" he smiles through his gasps of air, "love you so much" it was sad really, that that was all he could say but he felt something for you that words cannot express in the English language, or Korean, or any language hes come across.
his eyes look like that one begging emoji. he just... he needs you to understand. he doesn't know why he just blurted it out. but you had just made this cute little face of pleasure. pleasure he was giving you. you felt good because of him. and it had just slipped out!
you didnt realize how much you wanted him, how desperate you were until in a matter of minutes youre gasping and whining for him. "fuck, breed me, make me yours" you say, barely over a whisper into his ear, chin on his shoulder. your sleep shirt bunched up around your hips that raped around his, his arms are laced behind your back, hugging you a keeping you close chest to chest as you bounce and rock yourself on his dick. so caught up in the moment, he misses the smirk on your face when you said it, blissfully unaware that you knew full well what he was dreaming about. and how hot you found it.
he whines, "no dont say that youre gonna make me cum... not--" he breaths out when your cunt tightens around him just so, "not now--" he already had you close to cumming earlier, when he was guiding your wt heat along his leg, grinding you on him. but he wanted to take care of you first ya know? be a gentleman. but he knew he wasn't going to last long if you kept talking like that. he reaches down to your core and swollen bud, rubbing it just how you like.
"well fill me up then min." you accentuate your words with a long, languid rock of yourself on him, his leaking cock hitting just where you want him to. god you feel so full, your eyes nearly roll into the back of your head thinking about how full you'd feel with all his warm seed inside you.
"no baby please dont say that either." his voice is strained, his words are lazy unlike how he usually sounds. thats hw you knew he was already close. "no please, I wanna feel so full." you pout, and his mind goes almost blank. he moves his free hand to your hip bone, guiding you as you impale yourself on his cock ever time you lift up and slam back down. though he wasn't really doing much guiding as he was mostly enjoying the soft squeeze of your skin, fingers on your plush thighs. he subconsciously nibbles at your collarbone, surely it'll leave a mark later you said you wanted him to make you his right?
"but you already have my cock in you baby. dont you feel it?" he wonders aloud, meeting your pumps up n' down with renewed vigor. "its so hard for you, god you make me so hard" you still your movements, letting him do most of the work thrusting up into your pussy, making wet squelching noises that fill the room.
"mmhm so big n' hard. cum inside me? I know you'd fill me up so good."
"oh god." that nearly sent him over the edge. you look down to where your bodies meet and his hand is rubbing you, fuck his hand looks delicious, fingers perfectly long and hand with veins popping out. "I need you to cum with me." and not long later you do. you cm hard, knees shaking and out of breath. you'd asked him to cum inside and thats what he does. you feel your insides flood with warmth. damn he must've cum a lot.
he stays inside for a moment and is about to pull out when you stop him, hand on his bicep, "keep it inside." you tell him, and this time he catches your smirk. And seungmin just laughs, kissing your neck in a manner so sweetly you almost forget about his dick inside you. “You heard my dream?” Though he already knew. “Mmhm” “I love you so much” his nose presses into your neck “I wanna spend forever with you” “aw me too min” “hm was it good for you then too?” “So you didn’t hear me moaning for you? Guess not” you tease and he scoffs. “I did. And I think the neighbors heard too. We’ll have to talk more in the morning and do some googling I guess. But thank you” “you’re thanking me now?” You laugh. “Yeah I—“ “I think it’s hot too don’t worry. That’s why I want you to stay inside. We want it to take huh baby” he shivers, running his palm up your spine.
seungmin was a reasonable guy, he knew that this was alll fantasy and having kids wasn't on your radar right now. but he still loved it. He didn’t know what it was, maybe it was just you two growing together, growing intertwined. But as of late, he’s just been wanting or maybe finally realizing just how much he loves and cares for you. how much he wants with you. seungmin hasn't really thought of it before, but maybe he wants and already cherishes those cute little things with you-- like the kisses on cheeks when one of you greet the other at the door, the waking up next to each other at dawn, and everything in-between.
and maybe one day, if you'll let him, he wants to put a big ass ring on your finger. well, some day.
and you loved it too. And him. The way he took his time with you no matter what it is no matter if he already did it a thousand times. Just like a second ago, he caressed every curve and did of your body. Constantly wanted his hands on you, kissing from your neck to your lips over and over.
“Why are you so silent? Don’t you want it too honey?” He smiles from ear to ear “ugh sweetheart you’re amazing” he mumbles before kissing your lips.
~end

The kids!!!
Homer: Are you aware that many Iliad characters are first time fathers? That all of them in one way or another misses a big chunk of their children’s life or never gets to see it at all?
Also Homer: leaves and never elaborates
A doodle for random parenting shiz basically. Order from left to right, top to bottom:
-Menelaus carrying a sleepy Hermione. @hermesmoly I was drawing this when the request came lolol
-Achilles and baby Neo. I don’t know if it’s a thing in other places but hanging on father’s leg and then let him moves it back and forth like an impromptu swing is quite a favorite pastime activity here.
-Odysseus and baby Telemachus who was trying to be a helicopter
-Hector and baby Astyanax when he was born.
-Probably Agamemnon and his three daughters, but I have no official designs. He tried to scold them and was failing. Tbh I feel like Agamemnon would be the type to cosplay buff Bubble from Powerpuff girls along with his daughters. I know he’s not that great but me delulu.
-Patroclus and Neoptolemus. Yes Patroclus contributed in raising him as well, the kid had 2 dads. Fight me.

Mene mene tekel upharsin Part 5 - NATO Ukraine USA stand defeated
Tumblr media
The money laundering of Democrats Obama Biden Kamala Harris is bleeding USA to DEATH... the empire is crumbling.... Ukraine is dead with no soldiers left to fight .... over 1.1 million UKRANIAN Soldiers are dead... NATO is rendered toothless demilitarized with over 600K NATO soldiers dead... so much so that FRANCE is desperately urging , EVERY EU Nation to send soldiers to Ukraine ; to which Poland and most Violent Russophobe Eastern European states refused...
The reason is simple.... they all know, they can't survive on the battleground ... it is a different thing, to shout from your chairs and chambers , but in reality even British Army , as per their own internal assessment, can't last for a week against Russian army....
In a master chess move Putin and Erdogan of Turkey reached a deal pitching NATO Vs NATO... Turkey forces are fighting USA backed militia in Syria... Sec Blinken had to rush to Turkey to urge them to not kill all NATO militia in Syria ..... Vultures have started gathering... Erdogan is talking of cancelling 100 year old WW1 treaty and re-enacting OTTAMAN Empire ... the ancient battle ground has opened up... all this thanks to inferior USA weapons and technology .... and the weakening of the USA .... thanks to stupid American voters who kept Democrats in powers for so long .... they have done nothing but looted USA and pardoned the corrupt .
America is trying to win an imaginary war by propaganda like it always has... USA is on its knees; few steps away from surrendering or breaking away... Can Trump Save it? Perhaps not... hence he is proclaiming to make CANADA and MEXICO American states... The dethroned bankrupt empire of lies and deceit can now only rule its own neighbors... Kiss Rule based order good bye....
While delusional Ukrainian NATO Europeans are dreaming of Russia breaking and surrendering .... not knowing their master is about to desert them... to save itself... from nuclear oblivion.... loser NATO Ukraine EU can't dictate terms and will not be allowed to.... ad infinitum WWIII...
Nothing unites the human playground quite like one intrepid soul willing to stand, fight, and humble the bully.
The tripartite alliance of Russia, China, and Iran is an adversary more than adequate to roll back imperial rule by leaps and bounds, and in a relatively short span of time.
Many of the “middle powers” can also see which way the wind is blowing, and are positioning themselves accordingly. Spheres of influence are being aggressively pursued and secured in every quarter of the earth.
And perhaps most meaningful of all, they are cooperating to progressively repudiate the empire’s debt notes as the coin of the realm. They have come to understand that a prerequisite to “fixing the world” is to return its money system to a much more equitable and sustainable basis.
An alternative currency is coming... USD will come to an end much sooner than FED would have stupid americans believe.... The corruption of Obama Biden Harris Democrats has rotted America to the core ... USA lost the big war...
The DEATH OF EMPIRE IS MARKED........ whether it goes down slowly, or takes away whole earth in a fit of rage, by launching nuclear war which it can't win.... remains to be seen .... having lost the traditional proxy war .... with armies no longer willing to fight as proxy for it....
USA Democracy farce and hypocrisy stands exposed with increasing governments calling it out... including the majority nations in the UN...
It appears Russia has cut the empire into pieces.... it has achieved what Gorbachev and soviets compromised to not achieve for peace... The days of americans will be numbered with poverty , hunger and reality shocks, as World economy, decouples from the USD over coming years.... No more money printing will save the EMPIRE or turn the tide..........
PART 6 TO COME.....

More you play/analyze the dl game and scroll through the fanbooks you realize that Shu isn't the rightful heir to Karl's throne but Ayato is.
Now Shu is mature one and is somehow has good leading qualities but that doesn't make him the rightful heir theoretically. Status of your parents matter too.
Karl is the leader of vampire clan(dark fate official visual fanbook) and demon king(DL HDB Laito ending 1 and 3, DL HDB Ayato and Kanato ending 1). Cordelia's status is 'Demon lord's daughter'(DL HDB ecstasy 8), 'Vibora princess'(LE Carla Maniac 6) and 'Reigning Empress'(DL official visual fanbook) and Karl's 1st wife. Now Mene is the wife empress of Burai(DF Carla Maniac 8) or probably a mistress(DF main prologue), Krone is the wife empress of Geis(DF Carla maniac Epilogue) or probably a mistress(DF Carla Maniac prologue)and Yui gets the title of wife empress in DF Shu Vampire end. Here 后 word is used to describe Yui, Krone and Mene which can be sometimes translated as 'emperor's wife/wife empress' while Cordelia's one is 女帝 which can be translated as 'Reigning empress' meaning even without marrying Karl she's an empress, sort of a title she inherited from Burai. It's a canon fact that Cordelia passed the title of demon lord or the right of ruling the demon lord to Karl through her marriage. If we see Beatrix's status she has the status of 2nd wife and the woman who gave birth to 1st child of Karl. Reiji in MB called her mediocre woman with nothing special. Beatrix wasn't an Empress!
If we consider heirchy of human world it's usually the son of empress who's the rightful heir to the throne while other wives and their children have lower status aren't even considered heir to the throne even if the children were born 1st. Ex: In Chinese and Korean dynasty eldest son of the 'empress' were preferable heir to throne/inherited the throne. Empress is the legal woman of the emperor whose child always got priority to inherit the throne.
Beatrix is the one who always said Shu is Karl's precious heir the fact which irritated Shu most of the time. Karl has no comment about who would inherit the throne, he didn't even train any of his sons to inherit the throne(perhaps to avoid political conflict within the family). He didn't care who would inherit the throne, he only wished to create an Adam, a demon with human feelings. He wanted 'the ADAM' to inherit his throne . He probably didn't give a fuck what will happen to demon world if he disappears(LE facts).
Despite having the rights , Ayato wasn't considered rightful heir by some damned 🦇 vampire aristocrats/Beatrix's supporters to the throne just due to being a Vibora-Vampire hybrid. But the status of the rightful heir, should be Ayato's from the very beginning not Shu's. Ayato's rebel nature and his immaturity frustrated Cordelia and Ayato's supporters(the butler in LE) and even Karl. Perhaps if Ayato wasn't a prankster and a 'angel child' like Shu and acted maturely maybe things could have been different.
While Vibora clan 🐍 always thought Ayato/triplets the Rightful Heirs to the throne because of Cordelia's legal status.(LE)
Ayato's self proclamation as 'ORE-SAMA' isn't some bullshit or some arrogance, it's his right to call himself that due to being the child of the Empress and Emperor. I kinda blame Cordelia for that😒 As a Child, Ayato was free spirited , kind, rebel and mischievous who didn't care about status and often got in trouble because of it. Cordelia had to bring some sense into him and remind him of his status very often He couldn't get rid of calling himself oresama even as an adult ,he kinda loved it . Cordelia was just trying to give Ayato the status of demon lord and leader of vampire clan whether he liked it or not because 1st it's rightfully his and without him inheriting it would cause political conflict (LE) and also to be one who could be rightfully beside Karl.

Semmoista tässä mietin, että miksi Barbie-elokuvan tekstityksessä “beaching” on käännetty “piiskaaminen”, vaikka sana “hiekoittaa” on myös olemassa??

Modeling
inspired by this by @starsintheendlessnight! Specifically the shot at 0:54 :)
“Penelope likes to weave…Odysseus carves like a madman…”
Eurylochus adjusted the fancy robes of silk that Ctimene had laid out for him to put on, listening to her talk from the other room while he dressed. 
“And they’re both brilliant. Their gifts are famous, legendary even. And this piece, I intend to be…our version of the olive tree wedding bed. My brother is a damn overachiever, and I will not be outdone.”
“Mene,” Eurylochus said, emerging from the bedroom. “You don’t need to compete with your brother for grandest, most romantic art piece.” 
His wife turned around, holding little bowls of paint. “Well, what am I supposed to do, just settle for less romantic sibling? Besides-“ she stopped short and gave a little gasp as her eyes locked on Eurylochus. He felt his face grow warm. 
“What? Does it look all right?” Eurylochus spread his arms hesitantly, showing off a little more of his clothing. Ctimene had stolen a bit of Odysseus’ jewelry and fine clothing, and it was mostly small on him- his thighs were almost visible, the normally loose fabric stretched slightly over his chest. “Ctimene?”
Ctimene set the bowls down and hurried over to him, grabbing his hand with a wide smile. “You look amazing, don’t worry about that.” Her eyes traced appreciatively over his exposed skin, before tearing her eyes away to usher him over to the setup she’d created. She sat him down on the stool, adjusted the small wreath in his hair, and stepped back, beaming. 
Eurylochus sat up straight, tilting his chin up and looking at her. “Like this?”
“Mmmm…” Ctimene hummed, touching his jaw and lowering his chin, guiding it away from where she would be painting, towards the corner of the room. “Perfect!” 
She kissed the crown of his head and hurried to sit down and start painting. 
They sat in moderate silence for a while, the only noise being the strokes on the surface, and a few subtle hums. 
Her tongue was poking out, pushing against her upper lip in the way that it did when she was concentrating. 
Eurylochus felt his eyes softening. She really is stubborn…to get so worked up over competing with Odysseus, and to rope me into it as well…
But he couldn’t bring himself to mind it. Gods knew he would do anything for her. Sitting on an uncomfortably small stool for a few hours was nothing. 
“Eury!”
Eurylochus blinked out of his thoughts. “Yes?”
“You’re supposed to be looking over there!” Ctimene pointed over at the corner again with a raised eyebrow and grin. 
“Sorry,” he responded, fighting his twitching lips and he fixed his head angle. “Just…found myself looking at you.” 
Ctimene chuckled. “Why? Can’t keep your eyes off me?”
Apparently not, because merely ten minutes later, she was correcting him for the same mistake. 
“You’re gonna mess me up with the head and neck angle if you keep moving!” She trilled, getting up and tilting his chin to look back towards the corner. Eurylochus’ eyes gazed at the sparkle in her eye as she touched his face, his head following her almost automatically, as she stepped to go back to her setup. “And you’re still doing it!”
“Sorry, Mene,” he chuckled, tilting his head again, though his eyes still seemed to wander, almost straining to look at his lovely wife absorbed in her creation. 
Ctimene painted for a few more moments, and then just paused and sighed. “Would you rather I just paint you staring straight at me?”
“…sure,” Eurylochus responded, the smile on his lips growing again as he rested his gaze on her. 
She just shook her head with a smile, and soon her tongue was pressing against her upper lip once more. 
“…mmm…I dunno.” Odysseus grinned at the displayed portrait, his hand on his chin. “It’s a bit creepy, isn’t it? Feels like he’s staring right at me.” 
Eurylochus snorted, and Ctimene laughed and socked his arm. “But it’s good, isn’t it? And he’s so handsome.” 
“Ow, yes, fine, it’s good! It’s great!”
Penelope laughed, reaching out to touch her sister-in-law’s shoulder. “It’s wonderful, Ctimene. Maybe I should have you do a portrait of me and Odysseus.”
Odysseus chortled. “Yeah, but we won’t be staring at you the entire time. Seriously, what’s with that? A bit of an uncommon choice, isn’t it?”
“Oh, we…just wanted to do that,” Ctimene waved off. Beside her, Eurylochus nodded. 
“Hmm. Artistic preferences, I suppose…hey, are those my clothes?!”
