#and why she fought for him

[dragon-flies-72]

Okay now that the Ithaca livesteam I'd out and I've listened to Would You Fall In Love With Me Again wayyy to many times I've got two reasons on why I think Odys mad When penelope tells him to move their bed

1. He thinks she doesn't believe it's him, like a lot of people I've seen I think Ody believes that Penelope is trying to check if it's really him or some imposter instead of trying to tell him he's still her husband. He's tired, slain all those suitors and just had a reunion with his son it feels reasonable to assume he's bad an desperately trying to prove he is the real Odysseus not some imposter

2. Removing the bed could be interpreted as throwing away their marriage like it was nothing, physically uprooting that bed kinda seems like she's trying to erase their marriage from existence, like not only would she be unable to love him again, she can't even believe she ever married him, that he truly was a monster. (I dont believe this as much but ehh). Its obvious he knew she was waiting for him and so she still cared about him but her asking him to take the bed far away from here kinda sounds like she's asking him to leave again and, really, if I was in Odys shoes and I've been fighting for 20 years just to keep my wife and son safe and one of the first things she says to me is to leave again, to erase the most important thing in our lives and toss it out like it meant nothing, like our marriage meant nothing? Yeah I'd be pretty pissed to.

It also makes it hit so much harder for him when he realises she actually just proving his still her husband that even of he's become a monster, to her he will always be her husband (he will always be a man in her eyes). It makes him realise exactly who he was fighting for, that it wasn't all pointless, that it was worth fighting that maybe just maybe his actions could be justified in someone's eyes, that he was human to someone, to her.

shoutout to Jake Animorphs for being kinda uninteresting for like forty books and then hitting you so hard when he fully snaps and steps into his role as a hardened military leader at the age of sixteen

and then suddenly that sweet, stressed-out kid is just gone. he only exists to win wars anymore. it makes you realize too late what was lost

"Matthew before we start, I wanna talk to you about your mouthguard. What's the purpose of it? What purpose does it serve 'cuz it's never in your mouth?" "I mean, I guess it doesn't really serve that much of a purpose all the time? I try to keep it in as best I can but its got a mind of its own, and it's everywhere so... I don't know. I think in the important times I have it in? But it's not all the time." "Does that bother anyone? Teammates? Opposition? Probably your mum? Does she say anything?" "Yeah, my mom did not like it at the start but she's completely given up on it. Call it about 8 years ago, 9 years ago, when I came into the NHL she gave up on it so. I don't know! Teammates don't really care. Opposition? I've had it grabbed a few times but it's all good." "It's workin' for ya."

metamy is insane. like.

what if i was the hero you loved gone wrong. defeated and destroyed. rebuilt as my own greatest enemy. what if i lost everything. what if i had been reprogrammed to despise all i had once fought for. what if i couldn't even remember why i had fought at all.

and what if you were made of roses. what if you represented every beautiful thing i once died trying to protect. what if you wore flowers in your hair and cared for small creatures and had eyes the color of the forests i used to call my home. what if you were everything i once loved.

those memories are just out of my reach. infuriatingly. maddeningly. but if anyone knows who i am (who i used to be) it's you. if anyone can make me feel like who i used to be (who i really am) it's you. i can't speak, i can't breathe, i can't remember anything (but you).

you are the world i have been ordered to burn. i am the weapon you have chosen to resist. i was (am) the hero that you loved.

you are my only memory.

i will do anything to make you believe me.

annabeth doesn't talk about what luke said when he came to her house asking her to run away with him and no matter how hard the others try she won't say anything.

"My head is rolling..." by Maksym Kryvtsov

Translation by Lyudmyla Khersonska

My head is rolling from a treeline to a treeline like a tumbleweed or a ball my ripped arms will grow into violets in spring cats and dogs will drag my legs away my blood will paint the world new Pantone human blood red my bones will sink into the ground to form a skeleton my punctured gun will rust poor little buddy new recruits will receive my things and my fatigues roll on the spring so that I could give rise to violets

Was wondering why this particular gith face always feels like it suits baldness best and then I realized it IS in fact Orpheus' face model, Orph just has different unique ears.

Anyway welcome back, dreadwolf.
