#epic polites

[zippyskyfalls]

I desperately need Polites/Hades art. Like, those two are gossiping over tea while their friends and family are consistently banging each other.

I'm naming it FallenArms.

There's my Platonic crackship, tag me in art.

time loop!au where odysseus is forced to continuously attempt to get home alive and he realizes that, no matter how hard he tries, he simply cannot save polites. it is weaved in the very fabric of his existence, his fate, and the only way that odysseus can ever get home is if polites does not come with him.

if it isn’t the cyclops, polites dies trying to protect his friends from the laestrygonians. if it isn’t the laestrygonians, he dies to poseidon’s hand as an example for odysseus’ disrespect. if it isn’t poseidon, he dies fighting circe because hermes is no longer there to help. if it isn’t circe, he dies fighting the souls of the underworld. if it isn’t the underworld, he dies falling for the siren’s song. if it isn’t the siren, he dies being struck by zeus’ lightning. if it isn’t lighting— oh, who am I kidding? it’s always the lightning.

polites will never make it— he can never make it. he falls victim to the narrative, the words of fate that dictate odysseus a hero in his own right. odysseus can only change if polites dies and he can only go home if he changes. with polites alive, he can never internalize what his morality means to him. with polites alive, he can never question his own judgment. with polites alive, odysseus remains fractured from the war and has no reason to fix it since, after all, you can still see yourself in a broken mirror.

it is no longer about choosing whose blood is on his hands, it’s about choosing which face he would rather see for the rest of his life. at least polites will only haunt his dreams.

THIS IS SO GOOD ❤️

i did smt

[somepsychopomp]

Wolf hybrid Odysseus who grows up wanting to stick his nose into people’s mouths so he can smell them and “greet” them as he’s instinctively inclined to. Only for little Ody to be reprimanded by his parents for behaving inappropriately with his teachers/nurses/etc.

The only exception is his childhood friend Polites. When they were very young and first introduced to each other, Polites yawned and Odysseus couldn’t help but stick his nose into his new friend’s mouth.

Polites not only took this in stride but reciprocated, thinking his new friend was funny and weird but in a good way.

Polites was also positively enamored with Odysseus’ soft puppy ears and his squishy toe beans. He didn’t think they were strange or off putting, only curious. As they played together, he even tried to run after Ody on all fours the way his new friend liked to, but for some reason, it was a lot harder for him.

Their parents looked at the wolf boy and the regular boy chasing each other in circles and thought, “Well, as long as he’s happy.”

This life is amazing...

[eintausendschoen]

I would read. (<- very intrigued. 😳👉👈) (sends energy 🎆⚡✨⚡🎇⚡🎉⚡)

"He's behind me isn't he" vibes

This is an attempt at illustrating an au that I have embarrassing amounts of lore for! Basically, two guys with opposite morals who manage to change each other in many ways

Praying I'll have the energy to elaborate later.........

[bimu2ndo]

Main ship in the Ghost AU (OR SHOULD I CALL IT THE AFTERLIFE SAGA??? OR THE POLITES SAGA??? GIMME NAME IDEASSSS)

Was thinking of making a comic but Ik my lazy ass won't finish it

[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

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
