[antigonesgrave]

Soo fascinated by the fact that Antigone (and friends) never outright say whether or not they think Polynices is a traitor.

Creon says it happily. And Antigone mentions it in the beginning(“with the contempt we reserve for traitors”) but every other time, she skirts around the question. She won’t say outright whether he is or not. And she won’t say if it matters. Because it doesn’t! Traitor or not, he is her brother. Haemon does the same. Even Ismene doesn’t outright say that she thinks Polynices is a traitor

SGA Background Character Register

Pegasus Natives | Genii

-

Decided to start a Pegasus Native register

I'm debating on adding a sheet that describes these characters' attributes so they can be easily added to any fic

-

Notes:

- Only Genii with names - Canonically female characters are marked because there are less of them - Alive: Meaning we never saw them die or been informed of their death

Feel free to use this as you see fit just please keep my user name on the image

Haemon — Artists' District

[destinywillowleaf]

i'm committing to the bit y'all

no time frame on when exactly this is gonna be done but there are Plans which is better than some projects i've worked on

@most-tragic-character-tournament winning the ship has kept me going forward with this absolute nonsense and i wouldn't have it any other way (and to those brave anons who suggested the idea to begin with)

Haemon is such a fascinating character, he tried to trick his father into letting Antigone live, try to say it was the will of the people and when that failed pleaded with Creon as his son, but that failed too.

You'd think filial piety would take hold but his love for Antigone had him killing himself so he could be with her leading to his mother's death as well.

Haemon was so in love with Antigone he tried to save her from his father, despite everyone else condemning her for being a child of Oedipus and Jocasta and for daring to bury her brother. And he dies to be with her. he dies he dies and takes the only other thing his father loves beyond the crown with him.

His body lies enfolded with her body, so the poor man has fulfilled his wedding rites below in Hades’ house.

I’m kind of obsessed with Haemon.

He’s young, about 16. He lost just as much as one in the war did. He lost his brother, too. Unlike Creon, though, he doesn’t seem to blame Polynices. Or, at least never says it outright.

He’s so devoted to Antigone. He’s in love. The all consuming first love. He would do anything she asks. He does! Even without her asking, Haemon kills himself just to be with his bride.

In a way, he’s just like his father. He’s stubborn. He lets one thing, one idea become all consuming. In this time, it’s love. And, like the woman he loves so dearly, he dies for it.

Haemon is so underrated, but he’s such a complex character just like everyone else in the play. That’s why I love him.

Creon to Haemon: You are pussywhipped.
