Polites in the underworld.

(Something in my head told me that I have to draw this.)

bloody polites compilation

rant below:

The bandages drawing was loosely based on the headcanon that polites was a medic (please ignore any inaccuracies). Some use this hc as an explanation to why he stayed ‘innocent’ throughout the 10-year war, since he wouldn’t have had to fight or kill.

However, I like this hc for another reason. While I still think it makes a good baseline for his mindset, but implies it can be more of a coping mechanism. Being a war medic does not mean one does not have to witness bloodshed; rather, they would have to see blood and injuries on the daily while keeping a level head and make hard decisions when choosing which patient to treat first even when multiple are in obvious pain. This role would have been a huge responsibility for him, and given his personality he would have tried his best to be the emotional support / morale for the patients. 

The war ends, and it seems like there’s no need to worry about getting hurt or killed, but every other soldier is tired and traumatized. It makes sense he would try to step into the role of healer again, this time mostly emotionally/mentally (especially for his best friend who looks very guilty of something he doesn’t want to talk about). So comes Open Arms. He knows it’s not always possible but wants himself and his friends to have hope for the world after everything. 

Plus it’s nice rpg game logic in a literal and symbolic way — kill the healer first and the rest of the team will slowly fall apart one way or another.

Thank you for coming to my TED talk

I need to know ur opinion on EuryPoli and how you would think they'd be like in a relationship 🪰

I honestly didn’t like EuryPoli that much at first but recently I’ve grown to appreciate it -w- I feel like Polites would love flirting with Eury since Eury tends to act more serious in public. But in private they’re cute. Definitely not that physical affectionate (imo) but they do enjoy some kisses and cuddles there and then.

Also no I totally don’t change my Eury design anytime I draw him-

[anerdyrat]

Thinking about how since Eurylochus lived in Samos he wouldn't have been able to see Odysseus and Polties that much (esspically in his younger years) unless his family was visiting Ithaca for poltical/business reasons (and vice versa)

Because of that I like to think Polties and Odysseus would come up with more and more convoluted plans in order to get Eurylochus(and by proxy, the rest of his family) to stay in Ithaca longer, so they could hang out longer.

EuryPoli incorrect quotes bc we're gay

Eurylochus: Pros and cons of dating me. Eurylochus: Pros. You'll be the cute one. Eurylochus: Cons. Holy shit, where do I begin-

Polites: I would never say that my boyfriend is a bitch and I don’t like him. That’s not true… My boyfriend is a bitch and I like him so much!

Odysseus: Ooh, somebody has a crush Eurylochus: Pfft, I don’t have a crush on Polites, I just think he's cool. It’s not like I stay up at night thinking about him. *Later that night* Eurylochus, very much awake: Uh oh.

Polites: If you want my advice- Odysseus: No offense but you’re the last person I want relationship advice from. You tried to kill your significant other. Multiple times. Polites: First off, that was before we started dating. Secondly, they’ve also tried to kill me. Eurylochus: It’s true. It was mutually attempted murder.

Eurylochus: I didn't drink that much last night. Odysseus: You were flirting with Polites. Eurylochus: So what? He's my partner. Odysseus: You asked if they were single. Odysseus: And then you cried when they said they weren't.

Polites: It's pretty cold outside.. wanna hold hands? We should stay close. Eurylochus, blushing: Okay. Odysseus: It's fucking summer.

Odysseus: How the hell did you crash the car?! Polites: So I was just driving today, right? And my navigation told me to go straight. Polites: I was like "woah, that's homophobic". Instead, I went gay. And, THAT'S when I got into an accident. Odysseus: ... Eurylochus, with a proud smile: And THAT'S who I'm in love with, ladies and gentlemen.

Odysseus: So, what is Polites to you? Eurylochus: The reason I wake up every morning. Odysseus: ...That’s adorable. Polites earlier that morning, barging into Eurylochus′s room, smacking pans together: WAKE UP WAKE UP WAKE UP WAKE UP WAKE UP!!!

Polites: Why doesn’t Eurylochus find me sexy when I bite my lip? Odysseus: What do you look like when you bite your lip? Polites: *bites lip* Odysseus: ...Have you considered biting your bottom lip instead?

Polites: I think I'm falling for you. Eurylochus: Then get up.

Polites: Relationships should be 50/50. Eurylochus cooks us dinner while I sit on the kitchen counter looking pretty.

Eurylochus: Did it hurt when you fell- Polites: From heaven? Wow, I didn’t think you were such a flirt- Eurylochus: No, I meant when you fell down the stairs. Polites: ... Eurylochus: You just laid there for 15 minutes.

Eurylochus: Ugh, crushes are so dumb. Polites: I know. Whenever I’m near the person I like I just start acting stupid. Eurylochus: But you’re always acting stupid? Polites: ... Polites: Yeah, don’t think about that too hard.

Polites: Since we're in a relationship now, your clothes are my clothes too. Don't ask me why I have your shirt on, this is our shirt. Eurylochus: Fine, but when I come strutting in with your fuzzy socks I don't want to hear shit.

Eurylochus: Bro- Polites: No, no, hold up, rewind. Polites: My tongue was down in your throat just a second ago and now you're calling me bro??

Eurylochus: Being gay is a constant battle between "I wish to sit on a window bench with my lover, our legs tangling as we listen to the birds" and "Hey, let's go throw rocks at fascists" and I think that's very sexy of us. Polites: If the window's open and you time it right, you can do both.

Polites: This date is boring! Eurylochus: This isn't a date. I said I was going to the store. Polites: Then why did you invite me? Eurylochus: I didnt, I specifically said "don't come with me," then you said, "fuck you Eurylochus I'll do what I want!

Eurylochus: I’ve been dropping them the most insanely obvious hints for like a year now. No response. Polites: Wow. They sound stupid. Eurylochus: But they’re not. They’re really smart actually. Just dense. Polites: Maybe you need to be more obvious? Like, I don’t know… “Hey! I love you!” Eurylochus: I guess you’re right. Hey Polites, I love you. Polites: See! Just say that! Eurylochus: Holy fucking shit. Polites: If that flies over their head then, sorry Eurylochus, but they're too dumb for you. Eurylochus: Polites.

Polites, throwing their head into Eurylochus's lap: Tell me I'm pretty! Eurylochus, lovingly stroking their hair: You're pretty fucking annoying, that's what you are.

Polites: I think we should kiss. Eurylochus: And I think you should die but we don’t always get what we want.

Eurylochus: Okay, I’m going to get the wedding cake. Polites: Perfect, while you do that I’ll check on the ring bear. Eurylochus: ... Eurylochus: You mean ring bearER, right? Polites: ... Eurylochus: Look me in the eyes and tell me you are not going to bring a dangerous wild animal to our wedding.

Eurylochus: I love you. Polites, not paying attention: What was that? Eurylochus: I said I’m selling you to the zOo-

Polites: Are you an F5 key? Because that ass is refreshing. Eurylochus: Are you a software update? because not right now.

Polites: We have a problem. Eurylochus: No, YOU have a problem. I have an idiot who keeps making them.

Polites: That was so hot, Eurylochus. Eurylochus: I literally called the person who just flirted with you a degenterate dog and told them I hope they get dragged through the streets. Polites: I'm so in love with you.

Eurylochus: How do I tell Polites that I want them to yell at me like they're Gordon Ramsay and I'm a poor little chef who just ruined a crème brûlée?

Polites: Eurylochus is playing hard to get. Polites: Little do they know, I'm a master at playing hard to get rid of.

Eurylochus: I don't know how to tell you this, but... I love you. Polites: That's great, Eurylochus. Especially considering the fact we've been married for 6 fucking years.

Eurylochus: My future partner must be brave, strong, intelligent, successful and organized. Polites: *steps on a caterpillar and proceeds to drop to their knees and sob while apologizing profusely* Eurylochus: That one. I want that one.

Polites, to Eurylochus: We had a date! Polites: *aggressively points to Hello Kitty Coloring Book*

Polites: As top in this relationship, I think we should- Eurylochus: I can't believe you're pulling rank on me.

Eurylochus: I want to kiss you. Polites, not paying attention: What? Eurylochus: I said if you die, I wont miss you.

Polites: Hey, I’m getting in the shower. Wanna help me out? Eurylochus: ...Have you never taken a shower before?

Polites: I have feelings for you. Eurylochus: Why? What's wrong with you? Are you sure you're okay?

Polites: What are you in the mood for? Eurylochus: World domination. Polites: That's a bit ambitious. Eurylochus: You are my world. Polites: Aww... Eurylochus: Polites: Eurylochus: Polites: OH.

Polites: Do you want to know your gay name? Eurylochus: My... my gay name? Polites: Yeah, it's your first name- Eurylochus: Haha. Very funny Polites- Polites: *gets down on one knee* And my last name. Eurylochus: Oh- oh my god.

Polites: Wait, what's going on? Are we all talking about how hot Eurylochus is? Because Eurylochus is a straight up sexual fox riding a red-hot nuclear bombshell right toward the yowza plaza in the heart of Babe City, Assachusetts, U S A. The last A just stands for more ass.

Polites: Eurylochus, you love me, right? Eurylochus: Normally I’d say yes without hesitation, but I feel like this is going somewhere I won’t like.

Polites: Go fuck yourself. Eurylochus, smugly: Sure, but only if you watch

Eurylochus: We both look very handsome tonight. Polites: You know, if you'd just said that I looked handsome, I would have said, "So do you." Eurylochus: I couldn't take that chance.

Eurylochus walking into the kitchen and seeing all their limes peeled: Polites, I love you but, what the h-e-double FUCK. Polites, sipping coffee happily: I love you too :)

Polites: I truly go into housewife mode when I'm someone's soulmate- like, I'll make you pancakes and bacon every morning. Eurylochus: This is a lie. Eurylochus: I'm literally dating them. This is a lie. Eurylochus: THEY DON'T EVEN KNOW HOW TO COOK A PANCAKE, WHAT IS THIS.

Eurylochus: Is something burning? Polites, leaning seductively on the counter: Just my desire for you. Eurylochus: Polites, the toaster is literally on fire.

Eurylochus: Valentine’s day is just a consumerist holiday that holds no real value other than drive people insane buying heart shaped chocolates for their significant others and pos- Polites: I wrote you a poem. Eurylochus, already crying: You did?

Polites: Just a minute. I need to go take out the trash. Eurylochus: Oh. We're going out? Polites: Wh...

*Eurylochus and Polites are in Paris.* Eurylochus: I'm...moved. I...I don't know what it is I'm feeling right now. I feel...destiny? Polites: But... Eurylochus: I don't know what it is. I feel like... I just never thought I'd see it with my own two eyes. And here it is. It's just there. It's right in front of me, and... Polites: This is what you wanted to see? The bridge from Inception? Eurylochus: Yeah. Polites: But the Eiffel Tower is behind us, babe. Eurylochus: Yeah, but this is the bridge FROM INCEPTION. Polites: Okay, alright.

Polites: You know my motto: carpe diem, carpe noctem, carpe coles. Eurylochus: Seize the day, seize the night, what’s the last one? Polites: Seize the dick.

Polites: Are we fighting or flirting? Eurylochus: I'm pinning you against a wall with my hand around your neck- Polites: Your point?

Polites: Hey, random question, what are your favorite flowers? Eurylochus: Peonies, why? Polites: Eurylochus: Were you going to get me flowers? Polites: Eurylochus: Polites: ᶦᵗ’ˢ ᵃ ᵖᵒˢˢᶦᵇᶦˡᶦᵗʸ

Polites: So you like cats? Eurylochus: Yeah. Polites: *tries to impress them by slowly pushing a glass off the table*

Polites: *seductively takes off glasses* Polites: Wow... Eurylochus: *blushes* Haha... what? Polites: You're really fucking blurry.

[omegafett99]

i love this so damn much.

Antinous: *pops into the Underworld* What the fuck was that?, did I just get interrupted in the middle of my final note!? *Checks for any obolus and sighs* Great, now I have to wai-

*600 souls appear before him*

Antinous: *jumps back* What the fuck!?

*The 600 souls slightly separate to give Eurylochus and Polites to step through, Polites and Eurylochus give a hateful glare at Antinous*

Eurylochus: Before you ask, I'm Odysseus's former brother-in-law...

Polties: And I'm his best friend...

Antinous: ..... *Immediately dashes for it but remembers he can't go anywhere*

Polties: Brothers *lets out a gleeful grin and cracks his knuckles* let's greet our friend with "open arms"

*A loud amount of painful screams ensue*

[viagoed]

dude I dont even know

[incognito-duo]

[coquexari]

This life is amazing...

[tobiomin]

OKAY MAYBE I'M RIGHT

I was listening to open arms today and focused on the motif of the music and i swear that during the erymachus part the motif IS THE OPEN ARMS MOTIF

OKAY I MIGHT BE GOING INSANE

but i swear that on "odysseus" when the suitor that tries to persuade ody with the " let's have open arms instead", the beat changes from that electric bass drums beat to one that tries to mimic polites's playful marimba/kalimba instruments

I might just be crazy and hearing things bc i miss my baby polites and i got pissed at that suitor using his "open arms" phrase, BUT I swear that after hearing odysseus a dozen of times i heard something!!!!

[bugbear55]

how i imagine their reunion in the underworld went

do we think that every day they were grateful that they didnt see ody down there? Do we think they wondered when they’d see him again? do we think they prayed it wouldn’t be for a very long time and missed him regardless

[madbard]

Some suitor: “Let’s have open arms instead-”

Polites yelling from the Underworld: “KEEP MY PHILOSOPHY OUT YOUR DAMN MOUTH”

[nothing-impt]

Part 2 :D

(I probably won't continue this, but I just wanted to draw out the idea of Tiresias' feelings as a prophet) Part 1

[wukyma]

What do you mean that's not how Ruthlessness went??

I have some delusional "what if"s about these guys. Sorry Poseidon you're not getting an apology for your son's suffering

On a serious note I live for y'all AUs where Polites survives 🫶
