I’ve been Hades pilled for the past week and have seen studying the art. So I decided to make some of my favorite artists here on Tumblr some presents.

Merry Halloween

Hope y’all like them @gigizetz, @irunaki, and @sloanslone

"Whatcha gonna do about it, champ?"

[melobin]

piercer riize x reader? no. piercer reader x wonbin who goes in for a conch piercing and he's scared witless because he knows it's going to HURT. he goes in alone because he's scared his friends are going to make fun of him and he's shaking like a little leaf when he enters the shop... ur at the counter because his appointment is the only one u have scheduled and when he trudges closer all u can see is his cute. terrified. round little eyes. he's super meek when he tells u he came in to get his ear pierced and u just have him sign what he has to and motion him to a little room in the back. his hands are shaking a little when he sits down + and he gets a bit fussy when he sees u get the materials out but he's Strong. he can do this. you notice how nervy he is and ask him if he's okay... he can still back out!! but he's like NO!! i'm okay!!! (because be doesn't want to look like a lewser in front of a hot sexy girl holding a needle...???) and he starts shifting a little more the closer u get..... almost chokes on his spit when u tuck his hair behind his ear because ??? but then he realizes it's because u need to See His Ear to pierce it.... that doesn't stop him from getting rock hard though! almost cries a little when u get the needle thru but he forgets all about it and walks out of the room all wobbly because u called him a good boy after u were all done 🤭

you’re insane, crazy. completely 🫠

he sees you when he walks in to the studio and gets even more nervous because why is someone so pretty doing his piercing for him :( has to let a pretty girl touch him, move his hand, rest her hands on his skin, he’s already rock hard the moment he sits in the chair and the pain from the piercing doesn’t help at all and when you just “you’re such a good boy, didn’t cry once” as a half joke because he’s so cute you wanna eat him and he just almost dies pretty much almost cums in his pants :( just wanna stroke his cock on the chair after because the studios empty and it’s just the two of you and he’d cum so hard from it :(

this is totally how would you fall in love with me again went trust me guys

[luxurystark-jackson]

i have such a love-hate relationship with hold them down. like. i detest the lyrics but i keep catching myself singing the earlier parts because goddamn is it a good song. it’s like. i can picture some of the suitors being like damn dawg is singing so well this is a bop… oh sure spoils and whatever… like its the way it’s so sinister and yet just the way it’s sung is so similar to how scylla’s voice is initially so gentle and purposefully seductive. you let yourself be led in by how sweet the song itself sounds and then the metaphors with it too…. it’s like almost beautifully manipulative. yeah sure we’ll join in this dude’s plots it just sounds like good fun. and it’s so good especially in contrast with odysseus because hold them down is just so slow and flowy. and then in odysseus you have those frequent short sounds in the background that immediately make you think of danger. but in hold them down if you weren’t paying attention you probably wouldnt realise this guy’s talking about raping the queen and killing her son to do so.

Ships I’ve seen on my FYP since I’ve started posting about Epic the Musical, also I’ve learned how to color text after 8 months of having Tumblr.

Canon:

Odysseus x Penlope

Eurylochus x ctimene

Telemachus x Nausicaa: I think that’s it

Calypso x Odysseus: put this because, kinda, and I don’t remember the context for the post just remember seeing

Circe X Odysseus

Ares X Aphrodite

Perimedes X Elpenor

Crack ships:

Odysseus x Poseidon x Zeus: this is completely my fault one of my friends told me about @anniflamma’s "manwhore au" and I though, "There's no way this is real," only now to be living the akira meme whenever pops up on my FYP

Antinious x Calypso: first saw this on @irunaki’s blog, but the supports do make a good argument for it. Quote, “they match each other’s freak.” Can’t argue with that

Diomedes x Odysseus: Idk how this started or who first subjected me to this, but I know why I’ve seen it. I made ONE, say it again ONE post with Diomedes and Odysseus hanging out as friends and the algorithm said, “you wanna see them kiss don’t you.” Either way pop off I guess and have fun DioXOdy fans out there.

Polites X Odysseus: once again kinda makes sense, or atleast I can see how this started, because the song cut song Your Light 100% gives of gay vibes

Hermes X Odysseus: I think I’ve see like one post regarding this, but still.

Artemis X Aeolus: Once again Don’t know who started this one but I remember first seeing this on @irunaki’s blog. Also, one of my favorite pieces of art comes from @sloanslone because it’s so cute.

Aeolus X Hermes: Don’t remember if this is an actual ship or not but it does have a ship name. Coming from another banger piece art by @sloanslone there relationship is called Cinnamon I believe

I feel like I’ve seen some with Apollo X someone, but don’t remember.

Siren X Athena: this Banger comes from @coquexari and I absolutely love this one. It’s just been presented in such a cute way that I love it. And the art she’s made for it is also really cute.

Circe X Calypso: Once again first saw this one on @irunaki’s blog, but I will say I haven’t seen it since the wisdom saga came out.

Eurylochus x Ares: by @thequeenofthedisneyverse

Eurylochus x Zeus

Eurylochus x random guy that gets eaten by Scylla: by @calciumyum

Aeolus X Apollo

Telemachus x antinious: It does exist, but I don’t remember where I’ve seen it

Diomedes x Odysseus x Penelope: Hi @wolfythewitch

Also I’ve seen Femboy Telemachus

Gotten Hades (game) ship art

Etc etc.

The collaboration comes after ATEEZ’s established admiration for Halsey.

The K-pop group’s fans, known as ANTINY, know the members frequently share music recommendations: Both Wooyoung and Jongho have shared their fondness for “Boy With Luv,” her hit collaboration with BTS, Yeosang has recommended Halsey’s chart-topping Billboard Hot 100 hit “Closer” with The Chainsmokers to fans. Mingi has also praised G-Eazy’s work, notably his Hot 100 hit “Me, Myself & I” featuring Bebe Rexha, and previously recommended Calvin Harris’ Funk Wav Bounces Vol. 2 album, where Halsey features on two tracks.

[mythology-void]

okay so I was doing a Research™️ about ancient Greek etymology as one does and I found some Things that made me want to Violently Claw My Arms Off please allow me to force feed you my discoveries

So there are 2 words for "not" in ancient Greek, depending on the context: ou and mē. Having introduced himself in the Cyclops episode as " ou tis", or No-man, he then stabs Polyphemus in the eye. When Polyphemus' brothers come to check on him, they say this:

"... surely no man [mē tis] is carrying off your sheep? Surely no man [mē tis] is trying to kill you either by fraud or by force?"

Right after this, after the other cyclopes ditch Polyphemus, Odysseus's inner monologue goes something like this:

"Then they went away, and I laughed inwardly at the success of my clever strategem [metis]." (pronounced mEH-Tis)

Now, there's a difference between mē tis and metis. [mē tis] (pronounced mEH-Tis with a space between the syllables) is the literal translation for "no man". Metis is a word for extreme intelligence/cunning, which is something Odysseus is famous for.

Now, there are several examples of abuse of metis/intelligence in the Odyssey, but I think the juxtaposition between [mē tis], or the concept of anonymity, and metis, or extreme intelligence, is REALLY interesting. Odysseus's adoption of the title "No-man" was characteristic of metis--it was a really smart move that simultaneously hid him from the cyclops and avoided any future consequences. It was a highly effective strategy all wrapped up in a nest little package with a bow on it.

But when he revealed himself as Odysseus of Ithaca, effectively throwing off No-man (anonymity and [mē tis]), that was characterized as idiocy--he's essentially doxxed himself, and now he's doing to (spoiler alert) get tossed around the Mediterranean by Poseidon for the next 10 years.

This is really interesting because it lets you see the parallels/codependency between metis(intelligence) and humility. When Odysseus refused to allow himself to go unnoticed (hubris) he suffered for it. BUT when he declined instant glory/satisfaction (kleos) in order to achieve the long term goal of survival, he was rewarded with Athena's favor (pay attention. This part is important).

And this situation repeats itself MULTIPLE TIMES in the Odyssey--the EXACT SAME THING happens near the end of the book, with the suitors. When. Odysseus is dressed as a beggar and the suitors/Antinious are abusing him, he ACTIVELY CHOOSES not to react--he doesn't stand up and rip off his disguise and start hollering "TIS I, ODYSSEUS OF ITHACA! FEAR MY WRATH"

No. He sits there patiently and waits. He plans and schemes and quietly orchestrates their downfall without alerting them of it. Why? Because he learned his lesson the first time this happened. He buried his rage and adopted what was, according to Grace LA Franz, a more feminine form of metis, weaving a web of destruction for his enemies that ultimately resulted in their total annihilation (see Weaving a Way to Nostos: Odysseus and Feminine Metis in the Odyssey by Grace LaFranz). His patience allowed him to win the whole prize--no questions asked, no 10-year-long-business-trip strings attached--just the sweetness of a full victory. And he is, once again, rewarded with Athena's favor--both in the battle with the suitors and in the aftermath (cleanup/reuniting with Penelope).

This really reinforces the idea in the Odyssey that Odysseus's defining characteristic is not just his intelligence--it's his ability to learn from his mistakes. He used what he learned at the Lotus Eaters Island against Polyphemus--the Lotus Eaters drugged his men, so he drugged Polyphemus. He used what he learned from Circe and Polyphemus against the suitors--Circe used false sweetness and honeyed words to lure his men into a trap, so that's exactly what he did to the suitors. His hubris on Polyphemus' island cost his whole crew their lives, so he intentionally left well enough alone until the right time. He didn't just learn from his failures--he turned them into BATTLE STRATEGY.

i don't care what anyone says that is completely totally and objectively awesome
