Odysseus: and what did we learn today, class?

Crew: ruthlessness is mercy upon ourselves.

Odysseus: that’s right

Crew: You killed some of our comrades and you’re a danger to us too. So we must be ruthless and kill you to protect ourselves

Odysseus: no NOT like that WAIT no!!

[desos-records]

just now realizing that in Warrior of the Mind when Odysseus and Athena are asking for each other's names, Odysseus correctly identifies her as Athena and says all this complementary stuff, but never actually tells her his name. oh, my man of many turns, you were right: selfish and prideful and vain, vain above all

Look what you turned me into.....look what we've become.

[tazabel]

Athena: I had a friend before and he was a lot like you… Athena: Old friend, it's been ten years since I last saw you… me: (my heart whole again) Bring it on, mr. Jorgenbong Borgonbong, I can face anything now. Odysseus: (softly, in pain) All I hear are screams… me: (my heart shattered on the floor) … nevermind. Where have I put the duct tape?

DO YOU EVER THINK ABOUT HOW POLITES, ODYSSEUS AND EURYLOCHUS ALL GREW UP TOGETHER AND LIKE ODYSSEUS CALLS POLITES HIS "BEST FRIEND" DURING "MONSTER" AND HE AND EURYLOCHUS CALL EACH OTHER "BROTHER" CAUSE THEY WERE BROTHERS IN LAW AND WHEN ODYSSEUS LOSES THEM HE LOSES PART OF HIS CREW BUT HE ALSO LOSES HIS CHILDHOOD FRIENDS???? TO THEM BEFORE HE WAS "CAPITAIN", BEFORE HE WAS "KING", HE WAS ODY. AND HE LOST THEM. THEY WERE KIDS, SOLDIERS AND TRAVELERS TOGETHER AND. HE. LOST. THEM.

Hilarious that in God Games, when Apollo mentions the sirens, Athena's like "Now they'll thread with caution first, to live another day and sing another verse."

Um. Bestie.... They're dead.

Pretty sure they won't do that (or anything else, lmao).

[streetlightgoblin]

oh shit get in the water and 600 strike has got me shipping odysseus x poseidon unironically what the fuuuccck

not like in a they-would-make-a-good-couple way, but like in a holy shit their dynamic is so interesting way.

they have such a fucked up bond. they are monsters. they both know it, they are both horrified by it (tho poseidon would never admit it), but they both know its too late. the only person they hate more than themselves is eachother, and they hate each other so much its closer to obsession. in a fucked up way, they are the only people who can understand each other.

the fact that ody, only after watching Poseidon kill so many of his men, only after fearing and hating Poseidon for years, only after Poseidon is the constant force keeping him from his wife, only after Poseidon threatens to destroy Ithica, does ody try to empathize with him.

-

Aren't you tired, Poseidon? It's been 10 years, how long will this go? We're both hurting from losses So why not leave this here and just go home?

-

they are the same. they are both so tired. in a way, they are equals. they will destroy themselves and each other. Poseidon can't have mercy, he can't give up ruthlessness, not after everything he has done.

so neither can Odysseus.

and Poseidon is terrified of him. Ody is a monster, a monster of Poseidon's creation, and he is terrified. not even just for himself, but he is terrified that a man could do this. terrified that someone else could be this fucked up. terrified to see himself.

-

After everything you've done How will you sleep at night?

and then they fuck about it or something idk
