if the angel falls without a god watching

is it still an angel? does it still fall?

what is it but an idea discarded,

free will shaped and given and rejected.

[witless-winion1]

imagine Polites was in the courtyard for the last battle of Troy. Imagine he looks up from bandaging a comrade’s injury, and sees his friend. Helmet off, head lowered, face pinched in what could only be described as anguish. Polites would have called to him, but he knows better than to interrupt Ody during his Big Brain Thinking moments.

but then his friend raises something into view over the wall; a swaddle of white, and it’s squirming, enough that Polites could see it from where he stands, now frozen in confusion and inexplicable dread. Odysseus loved kids and babies, he wouldn’t harm one for any reason. Hell, he’d cried so hard when Penelope gave birth to Telemachus that he’d nearly passed out from dehydration. He’d spared every child in every battle in this ten-year war.

but his friend extends his arm, holding the swaddle precariously by the ends of the blanket, over the thirty foot drop onto the solid stone ground. The innocent baby just wiggles unconcernedly.

Polites opens his mouth, but whatever he was going to say (because he certainly didn’t know himself) gets caught, and then his friend lets go.

and Polites can’t turn away as the white swaddle falls, a sudden, tiny cry starting from the hidden infant’s throat, that cuts off when it hits the ground, with a sound that Polites never wanted to hear again, and the white turns red.

Out of every horror he’s seen that night, that’s the one he dreams of when he eventually lays his head down to sleep.

He wakes thrashing, falling out of his hammock, and Odysseus’s hand jerks from his shoulder to his side, catching him before he can hit the ground and aggravate whatever minor injuries he got from the last battle.

Polites has always been a very honest person. Since boyhood, since he told his mother was sick because he ate too much sesamous when he was five, confessed to Odysseus and Eurylochus that he didn’t like hunting when he was nine, told his aunt she was too unkind to the less fortunate then them when he was thirteen.

when Odysseus asks him what troubles him, Polites can’t seem to bring himself to admit the truth.

when they sail for home, he forces himself not to avoid his captain. They’ve all done horrible things in the heat of Ares’ domain. but a baby? whispers his conscious.

Shush, he tells it. There’s a logical solution, there has to be.

and yet Odysseus offers none, and he is too cowardly to ask for it, and gods know he cannot make sense of it no matter how he tosses and turns with the rocking ship.

when they reach the island of the Lotus Eaters, Polites smiles at the funky little guys, adoring their blissful grin. He crouches and strokes it, cooing about how soft it is. Odysseus hums, unfazed, and grumpy. Polites can tell he hasn’t slept well the past few weeks. But he reaches down anyway and picks one up under the arms, studying it from every angle while the innocent creature just wiggles unconcernedly in his hands.

Polites can’t help the urge to gently pull the creature from his hands. He smiles to cover whatever tension there is, and places the lotus eater safely in the ground.

he reminds his friend that there’s no need to constantly be suspicious and prone to fighting; why not default to greeting the world with kindness and open arms? Even though trust may get taken advantage of sometimes, it would at least alleviate the risk of unnecessary blood spilled.

and as Odysseus looks away, Polites sees the pain in his eyes, staring at the Lotus eaters as they tumble around with each other. One drops suddenly from a low tree limb, and while Polites manages to stifle his wince, Odysseus is caught just off-guard enough to flinch when it hits the ground with a thump. The lotus eater gets up and ambles off without a scratch.

“This life is amazing when you greet it with open arms,” Polites says softly, reaching out to grasp his friend by the elbow. “I see in your face, there is so much guilt inside your heart…”

Polites could see as the words hit home, his friend’s shoulders drooping as he looks up at him. His eyes are nearly akin to what Argos’s looked like when their ships sailed from Ithaca’s harbor.

“…so why not replace it, and light up the world; here’s how to start…” Polites gently squeezes his arm. “Greet the world with open arms.”

“Greet the world with open arms…” Odysseus repeated softly, leaning into him. Polites let him hide his face in his chest, wrapping him in his arms and letting him hide from the weight of his not-so-secret sins.

apparently pjotv twt was being weird about book!Percy's eyes being green because they don't think the ocean can be green (???) so consider this a sequel to my Grace siblings eye colors post and here is some visual references of green water for all your Percy inspo needs:

And for reference, the water around New York-ish where Percy is usually is somewhere around this color:

or some alternatives:

or here is a nice hazel green if you want his eyes more on the brown side, which is very common in freshwater ponds and streams:

or if you want him to have totally brown eyes - water rich in tannins will appear brown, greenish-brown, or very dark brown - this is sometimes called "blackwater" due to often appearing very dark or having low visibility:

HELLOOOOO TWST FANDOM (and aromantic fandom?? idk im aro tagging this too)!!! not exactly back to tumblr but i had this jackiyuu yuri ver prepared so i thought I might as well post it for pride month. They’re in love and in a qpr still!!! just women now.

Them being in a qpr but still having a loving and attentive relationship was so comforting to me. They may do romantic actions for each other bc they’re romance favorable, but it’s not like that!!! they’re in love with each other!!! but not like that. it’s important nonetheless. they protect and care for each other nonetheless.

So yeah!! I might have colored it if I had a little more motivation, but no. Haha. Sorry. Happy pride instead hell yeah!!!

Y'all get a Michael collage today

[biblically-accurate-dca]

for dca fandom members specifically: have you played and completed security breach?

when i say "complete" i specifically mean "played through it at least once and got to 6am", whether you got all the endings and/or achievements is irrelevant to the question

another additional note is that if you've played other fnaf games but haven't completed those then that still counts as you playing them and you can answer yes to that!

no shame towards anyone who hasn't played the games! this is just to see what the general statistics are among everyone here

please reblog for a larger sample size! thank you ♡

I'm not sure how I feel about The Amazing Digital Circus.

[quibbs126]

You know I’m gonna be honest, I kind of love the fact that in Transformers fanon, pretty much any Transformer can get pregnant or get someone pregnant regardless of gender, and due to it being such an accepted part of the fandom, you don’t have to make up scenarios so that it can happen with two characters of the same gender, like one of them being trans, or Omegaverse, or some genderswap shenanigans, or the characters are in some way not entirely human so you can give them different biology that allows this

I mean technically Transformers does fall into that latter category, but it applies to all the characters, and it’s so normalized that it’s not something you have to go out of your way to explain (unless it’s to explain it to the human characters, but that’s different)

I love it, it’s beautiful. And honestly, I’m gonna be really sad whenever I inevitably leave the Transformers fandom and I’m gonna have to go back to fics where this isn’t the case. Or whenever I remember that oh right, that isn’t how it works in real life, or in most fandoms

jon liked my wiggly art on instagram y'all. this is insane to me

it only occured to me yesterday that I could follow the starkids on the Social Media(tm) because I'm such a "tumblr only" kinda guy yknow.

Like I had my obligatory insta for a while now because at some point people kept asking me where they could find my art, but I don't really use it much outside of posting my drawings sometimes. And I only follow other arstist I like or people I know irl. Literally youtube people only exist in my youtube for me

Anyway, absolutely WILD to me, but know that I know I can get REWARDED (starcan members possibly seeing my posts) it's motivating to post more fanart to instagram

((fyi: my tumblr sideblog for art is @cauldronsart and I use the same handle for insta as well, if anyone wants to find me there))

[sketchy-tour]

Posting for big fandoms is fun and all but the art I do for the small niche interests that only get a handful of notes makes me happier when I see people reblogging and going nuts in the tags about it.

Shout out to those smaller communities that are still very much unwell about their blorbos /aff /pos /I love yall so much

which character in obm do you think is the most yandere for mc and why?

CRACKS KNUCKLES OKAY (there will be spoilers from nightbringer so just a heads up)

In my opinion it's definitely a tie between Mammon, Leviathan and Belphegor. Mammon In the OG it's been stated that Mammom oversees all forms of greed, and we know how he is head over heels for the MC as well as possessive. (well the rest of the boys have possessive tendencies towards the mc so lol) In Nightbringer we actually see him go super possessive over the MC to the point his brothers struggled trying to get him under control. Although it's been resolved, I still wonder if he'll be able to go that crazy like that again @ the MC. He is the Avatar of Greed after all, he makes it known to everyone that the MC belongs to him only and that he was their "first." Leviathan Avatar of Envy, enough said. I do remember in the OG (whether it was in one of the pop quiz events or the main story, I'll have to dig later) he did say that the MC is his. Either way I do believe he can be the most yandere for the MC. This jealous serpent??? Obviously. The MC is his idol, his angel, his player 2. I genuinely think he can be a terrifying yandere too. Iirc apparently he was supposed to be a canon yandere but they scrapped it? Correct me if I'm wrong but that's pretty much all I can say about him for now, It's not much so sorry. u __ u Maybe I'll edit and add more later. Belphegor He's a canon yandere (mmNNFF YUMMY). In Nightbringer his yandere side is shown more in Lesson 33-14 , Where he tried to keep the MC from going back to the human world (in MC's case, back to the future) by putting a spell on them so they feel tired. He's so wants the MC is to stay and to keep for himself and it shows, not just in nightbringer but pretty much anywhere. Dude got jealous/angry in Lesson 55-18(OG) where if you choose the option "I'm worried about Lord Diavolo." Belphie responds with "sO yOu cArE mOrE aBoUt lORd dIaVoLO tHaN mE?" What a spoiled, bratty, yandere bitch baby. Also a scary yandere. Tbh I can't really choose but it's between these three. Sorry for any typos btw. Honorable mentions: Lucifer , Barbatos , Diavolo

Watch out I think you've offended some people om twitter and now they're calling you illiterate for not liking the third film

Watch out? For what? Like I don’t know what’s happening on twt and honestly I don’t pretend to care what ppl say about me there since it’s full of ppl that just accept things and have no critical skills lol ike it’s twitter.

Also it’s so funny they call me illiterate when I’ve been analyzing HTTYD since 2010 BECAUSE I adore this franchise so much and analysing themes, stories, characters, animation and everything has been my passion all my life. In fact I’m very very happy to discuss things with people, being in fandom is for that. Like if they think that of me they don’t know me at all. Cause being passionate about something doesn’t mean you’re unreasonable.

Being critical of httyd3 is legit the opposite of illiterate since I’ve explained THOROUGHLY and making deep dives about stuff and analyzed my reasons for every detail, like they have a very wrong idea of illiterate 😂😂 I know ppl like HTTYD3 and thats fine but pretending that only they can be critical because they like it is dumb and pretentious. I adore every other aspect of HTTYD and that’s why I’m very passionate about the third movie and my thoughts about how it ruined the franchise. They don’t have to agree with me but fuck it if they call me illiterate that’s just plain ass wrong (also cool buzzword kids).

Again I’m open ALWAYS for discussions about stuff I’m passionate about I love yapping and rambling and I adore fandom for that cause that’s what it’s for and I can calmly explain my reasons if they want to be open about it and not pretend that everything they like has to be perfect. You can like something and know it’s trash but at least you’re honest about it and I respect that more at least.

the internet says to "promote your fics on social media" and i do link them from tumblr it's just they get about two notes so while i do it anyway sometimes i feel a bit daft. i'm assuming at least a few people click to look at them but i might just be making that up.

this won't stop me though. so there!!!!
