has anyone gotten the idea that odysseus' storyline in hades 2 is a depiction/exploration of trauma over his SA and how he's blaming himself for things that were out of his control? because that's the impression i'm getting from what i've seen. he talks about "goddesses" as his "greatest weakness" and that "he's not one to say no to them"...

when mel invites him to the bath, he brings up mortals having different standards for intimacy than gods and how it usually has a more romantic/sexual connotation. she then asks if he's uncomfortable and he has a startled reaction and brings up circe and calypso again (but never actually by name)

(this isn't ship/romance bait btw. odysseus knew mel as a kid and they're stated in-game to have a sibling/uncle-niece relationship)
also he grew apart from penelope after his return, but the game makes a point of showing that his love for penelope and telemachus is what drove him on at all so that element of his character isn't brought into question

#i made a post abt it but deleted it bc it was speculating and i don't have the game bc i don't have a pc#but i found more screenshots and now.. i think it's a VERY real possibility they're going in this direction.#circe is in this game also. so i really need to see whether odysseus has any character specific dialogue about her#hard life when you can't even play the game and are hunting down bits of story from other people#hades game tag#hades 2 spoilers#sa mention#hades 2#hades game#odysseus#penelope#i don't have any hard coping shipper brain on or anything but like. just. thinking about where his character can go given what we know#guaranteed penelope will be in this game too from how much she's brought up. we'll probably meet her on the surface#SO ITS LIKE. story wise. are we going to make a wife forgive her husband for cheating on her#or are we going to make a guy realize him being assaulted wasn't the same thing as him cheating on the love of his life#and i am heavily leaning towards the latter.#it's like if he genuinely did cheat on her and they grew apart what direction would his story go in.#how will us as the player help him in the same way we helped achilles/patroclus or orpheus/eurydice

I always make an effort to look at paranatural through the ~2013 era lens it was conceptualized from, back when it was at it’s most subversive, in tandem alongside its contemporary lens. Because thats what Paranatural was, for those who aren’t aware — paranatural played off of & against the common shonen & cartoon tropes and character expectations that were prevalent in that age: the wise and just mentor, the prejudiced bully, the action girl implemented to pushback against sexism + the subversion of the action girl, the excited rare skilled selfless battleprone protagonist, etc.
most new fans will likely see the comic and take it at face value — why shouldn’t they? — when in reality there’s so much more of a dialogue happening underneath the hood. There is so much underlying, forgotten context that makes paranatural, paranatural
#paranatural#i would give like anything to talk to a pnat fan who was around 18 in 2013 and knew all of this from the get-go#i’ve taught myself it through independent research and studying media trends of that period (plus being a fan circ 2015 but i was on the#younger side.) now everyone in the fandom seems to be younger than me. so if i dont know it then they DEFINITELY dont know it#by which i mean ‘if im not old enough to remember then they definitely arent’#but yeah thats why pnat - especially early pnat - is chock full of so many anime gags and references. like goku dying so much.#whereas now those references have become more…. integrated into the text itself rather than a callback or satirization#thise fans would be in their 30s-ish now and Im not sure how id find them in today’s internet climate. but i so badly want to understand#paranatural as it was conceived as instead of only what it has become#i want a comprehensive understanding#analysis#this is also kind of why i dont think that interpreting pnat through a 2020-2025 cultural lens is going to……. recognize the comic as well#like yeah the audience does have more information about the plot and characters and world and such. but the contexts they were created#within are more or less gone. or theyve shifted to something completely different. the shows that zack created pnat around aren’t popular#in the same way that they were back then; so instead of refracting against those stories in a dialogue people - usually new fans - take the#comic as it is

Ghost!Circe: There's a thin line between bravery and stupidity. *points at Penelope & Ctimene* My two besties use that line like a fucking jump rope.
#epic the musical#warrior!penelope#role swap au#circe#she says this in the same tone as 'all i did was reveal their true forms' & 'huh'#look#she honestly is a sweetheart she does care for her friends she's a martial pacifist#but she can & will verbally eviscerate someone with the sweetest smile & the most cheerful tone#her open arms are rated E for everyone & her open mouth doubly so#“oh wooooow your sword skills are amazing! must be great to have compensation :D”

pov me when someone calls Eurylochus a hypocrite for getting mad at Odysseus sacrificing 6 men so now i lowkey have to kill them

(i yap in the hashtags)
#okay im being dramatic obviously but STILL#like yes Eurylochus tried abandoning the crew with circe#But that also makes odysseus a hypocrite for reprimanding Eurylochus and then turning around and doing the same shit LIKE HELLO???#Like can we stop painting Eurylochus as completely useless or a villain#Im not trying to excuse him for poor actions but this man acted in desperation when he opened the wind bag and killed the cow#Genuinely i am so tired of fandoms just watering down good characters because they can’t comprehend character development or see characters#in either black or white because of one action driven by emotion#Like is Eury innocent? No. Did he act like a dumbass? Yes.#But its ridiculous to make a blanket statement for one character and excuse the other even though they did the same shit#Eurylochus slander will NOT be tolerated#Eurylochus my son they’ll never understand you like I do💔#eurylochus#eurylocus epic#epic the ithaca saga#epic the musical#odysseus

I love the beginning of The Underworld cause Odysseus is like “this is what Circe told me to do. Now YOU tell me what we’re going to do.” He is Tired. They definitely had this conversation at least 5 times on the way there. He said we are NOT going to have another bag of winds situation today

I like Epic, but I think the worst thing it brought to the odyssey fandom is that some people now think that Odysseus could have easily refused Circe out of love for his wife, and Circe would accept it and be even impressed by this.
#i think those are the same people who think that there was a correct answer for Paris#And that if Paris gave the apple to his wife all of the goddesses wouldn't be angry and everything would be okay#ask Picus what happens to a man who refuses Circe due to the love for his wife#circe#Odysseus#epic the musical#the odyssey

"you're a good kid" he's a kid telemachus is a kid
yes odysseus was a "boy", but the implication was always that he was going to be a warrior of the mind, a general, a child king, a leader
telemachus is not a tactician-- he does not fight because it is the only logical outcome, he does not fight because he knows he'll win, he does not fight because he needs to or because antinuous overtly threatens him, not at first. he fights to defend his mother. more than anything else, he fights for someone he cares about.

I keep seeing people call Eurylochus a hypocrite, and while I kinda agree, I also kinda disagree. Hear me out.
So, people's main thing with Eury is that he gets mad at Odysseus for sacrificing six men to Scylla, but he doomed all of the crew by opening the wind bag, and wanted to abandon 22 men-turned-pigs on Circe's island. (For anyone wondering where I'm getting that number, it's from The Odyssey).
But these events aren't really the same, or comparable. Let's take them one by one. (This is gonna be a long one, so I'll cut the post here for the sake of your timelines)
The wind bag. I fully understand why people are pissed at Eurylochus for doing this, and I am too. But you have to remember that he did not do this out of malicious intent. He did not know this would end in the eventual deaths of the entire crew. Even though Eurylochus was warned about the storm being inside the bag, none of them knew it would take them right to the Laestrygonians. He had no idea Poseidon was pissed off at Odysseus for blinding Polyphemus. It was a stupid decision, certainly, but the following events were not intentional on his part.
Circe's island. Eurylochus had no reason to believe there was any way of rescuing those 22 men. Circe's a goddess/witch. What the fuck are two human dudes gonna do about that? Odysseus didn't even know what he was going to do. He would not have had any solution if not for Hermes, which is not something Eurylochus could've predicted. It's pretty reasonable for him to think that those men were a lost cause.
Scylla. So far, all of the deaths have been "accidental:" 14 from Polyphemus, 543 from Poseidon/Laestrygonians, and 1 from Circe (RIP Elpenor). I am not attributing the 543 deaths to Eurylochus for the reasons detailed above. No one knew these deaths would happen. They were all sudden/unexpected. Let's take these next sixth deaths moment-by-moment:
Odysseus redirects the ship, using directions that no one else knew (Odysseus was reading the siren's lips, but everyone else was too busy catching the other sirens, and all of them had beeswax in their ears). Odysseus tells Eurylochus to light six torches.
One by one, Eurylochus watches every man that he handed a torch get brutally eaten. He himself is almost eaten, but he passes his torch off to someone else before he notices the correlation. He only realizes what's happening as the sixth man is about to die, and Eurylochus is too late to save him.
Odysseus won't even gaze at the blood left behind. But it's all Eurylochus can look at.
These deaths were planned. Odysseus knew what he was bringing his men into, and not only did he keep it from them, he sacrificed his men that didn't even know what was happening. And Eurylochus likely feels part of the blame, having been the one to light the torches, even if he didn't know the consequences of it.
Eurylochus has a right to be upset, to be angry. These are the first deaths that could have been prevented, because Odysseus could've simply not taken his men through Scylla's territory. But that's the only way to get home. Odysseus sees it as a necessary sacrifice, but Eurylochus sees it as needless. Because at this point, Eurylochus has given up hope that they'll ever get home. What is the point of sacrificing these men for a goal we will never achieve?
This is not a situation where one person is at fault. Odysseus and Eurylochus are both to blame. Like Scylla says, "There is no price we won't pay." Odysseus himself says, "You know you'd have done the same." People do stupid, dangerous, bad shit to survive. Odysseus sacrifices his men. Eurylochus still wants to live, he just doesn't see the point in trying to return to Ithaca. That's why he kills Helios's cattle. He is starving and he wants to live, even though he knows the consequences.
The whole point of all this is that people will do awful and/or stupid things to survive. Not just Odysseus.
