a rough sketch of an idea

Polites found odysseus in the sheep's field weapons and armor and body broken and bruised. It looked like he had been dropped from a great height. He felt his gut clench at the sight. It wasn't the first time something like this had happened. But it was the worst he had ever seen his friend.

Odysseus had been collecting more and more bruises over the past year, becoming more and more cagey about their source. About his training. "Proof of athena's favoritism" he called them with a grin "it'll all be worth it when I'm the best fighter around"

But polites couldn't help but worry. Pride and honors and achievements didn't matter if you didn't survive the training to get there. Polites desperately wished there was something more he could to do to help but even if he could convince odysseus to cease this insanity, how would even get out of it without offending the goddess?

"I take it training didn't go well, my friend?" Polites asked with a smile forcing his voice to keep its teasing edge. He extended a hand to help odysseus up off the ground.

"Shut up polites" odysseus grumbled as he threw a hand up to clumsily grasp at polites hand.

Despite the muscle odysseus was rapidly gaining polites could still haul him up easily. He'd thank the gods for his height but lately praying had left a sour taste in his mouth. As he dragged odysseus towards a well paid and secured doctor he eyed the broken spear, sword, and sheild. A glimmer of an idea started to take shape. It was likely odysseus would continue to break mortal equipment as he did battle with gods and his family had been pressuring him to choose a calling already....

"Eurylochus is coming from same tomorrow" polites chatted ideally, hoping to distract his closest friend from his pain. Odysseus groaned and banged his head against polites shoulder.

"Come now!" Polites chided through his laughter "you love the man!"

"Not when he's trying to bed my sister I dont" odysseus slurred somehow managing to drip annoyance through the concussion and other pains.

Made this as a joke during International Asexuality Day 2024, but I don't think it's a joke anymore XD. I was thinking of drawing our Ace King Alastor, but realized I should first honor our OGs, so belated Happy Ace Day to you and YOU only, Garu from Pucca! Lol. Enjoy this little doodle of them in my style. -Bubbly💙

hi, im the hwwl fan who needed a cigarette. now i’m here to say this.

if hwwl has one hundred fans, i am one of them. if hwwl has one fans, i am the one. if hwwl has no fans, i’m dead.

i cannot stress enough how good it is, even if the content comes to us in such short bursts because you pack so much pain in there and it makes me tear my hair out (pos) but also cradle your writing because it’s sooooo good.

hwwl was not ur first work i stumbled upon, but it definitely was the one that drew me in. even if you stop writing for it at some point, this series has dug such a deep hole into my heart and i will never let it go.

ty for sharing ur writing when u didn’t need to, u truly are such a great writer and all your works (hwwl especially) showcase that so so clearly

ps, ur writing has inspired me to make my own! i won’t be sharing bcs it is quite personal, but i just thought you should know how positive of an impact your writing has :)

hi oh my god this made me sob (/pos) thank you so so much my love 🥹

it’s. well. it was honestly not a work i used to proudly endorse because of how short-burst it is, but to see such positive and kind and loving reactions make my heart melt and i’m so eternally grateful for you (all) so much!!

i dont think im done with hwwl yet, not with how much more there is to be established, but im also sorry that i cant promise consistent posting for the fic. but even then, thank you for ur understanding and patience!!

tbh i just wanted to indulge that itch in my brain and so i wrote the first part, then the next, and then every detail in between was just left up in the air—sometimes, though, i realize i should’ve written this instead of that—but still, to see hwwl read and loved just makes it so much fun to write it!! so really, i dont think i can thank you enough 🥺

and oh my god? im so so touched and grateful to have inspired you with writing!!! my heart is a wobbly mess right now and im honoured to be, have been, part of your writing journey. i wish you the best and the loveliest in your life and writings!! thank you again, no matter how repetitive it might sound because really, thank you so much!!

take care my love and thank you for stopping by 🥹🫶🏼

no because like. okay i KNOW eddie does have wife related trauma but ALSO there are Layers here and it is s o o o o fascinating that eddie is getting CRIPPLING panic attacks over someone being called his wife. like. you would think maybe said wife related trauma would be the cause of that — like yknow. the woman i called my WIFE died, so now im terrified of ever having anyone else be called my wife , because what if that happens to her TOO. only NO. THATS ACTUALLY NOT IT AT ALL. it's anxiety about what having a wife means for HIM. like. LIKE. INSANE IMPLICATIONS INSAAAAANE IMPLICATIONS!!!!!!!!

sonic and snufkin actually kind of feel like very similar characters to me. holding hands over “my personal sense of freedom and dedication to making decisions based on what I think is right is what matters most, and if you’ve built some idealized version of me in your head then that’s none of my business and it’s not my responsibility if the reality of who i am lets you down in some way”. also the deep connection to nature and all.

like on one hand biden did heinous stuff during his presidency and i have no personal liking for the guy, but on the other hand part of me does feel sympathetic bc it must suck to have to end your presidency in such a lacklustre way after having literally everyone demand you leave the race. on the third hand, there are presidents who would never have the grace and self-awareness to exit the race no matter how badly they were going to do or how many calls for it there were. on the fourth hand, biden's calls have directly contributed to the murder of thousands of people. on the fifth hand, he made some pretty significant progress domestically and improved the lives of thousands of americans.

idk man i have mixed feelings specifically on him pulling out. but hopeful that the candidate who gets the nom will be strong enough to pull those who were on the fence specifically about biden. and praying to anyone who will listen that this will get more people out to vote bc i'm seriously not joking about how much we do not want a second trump presidency.

i should have known today was going to be f*cked up when i checked the Shinee tag before going to bed early this morning and saw that the unofficial sign merch for the fans going to the Japan tour with all five members had been pulled and replaced with official merch from SM that only had the three that are currently active. that should have been a sign from God that some f*ckass sh*t was about to go down the vibes were off

i just think kdrama watchers are probably best equipped to understand the type of character Malyen Oretsev was written to be in the books. send tweet

here's a potentially hot take that i havent seen: i think the yakuza series' approach to narrative and storytelling has a lot in common with kingdom hearts

walk with me on this:

plot is purely a vehicle for putting Characters in Situations for the sake of interpersonal drama & emotional moments. both series have their fair share of utter nonsense (e.g. the mechanics of hearts/nobodies/time travel, yamato II, Yakuza 3 Chapter 9 The Plot) because that nonsense is purely a means to the end of getting us to the emotional destination the writers are after

yakuza 1 is literally just kh1 where kiryu = sora, nishiki = riku, and yumi = kairi. haruka and date = donald and goofy. tell me im wrong (you cant)

what constitutes a fatal wound varies wildly and characters are brought back from the dead (literally or figuratively) not infrequently

plot points and character traits are readily retconned and/or abandoned if the game decides they're inconvenient to how it wants to develop a character going forward (see: rubber bullets, axel's CoM murder spree being quietly forgotten from 3D on)

if you took a tally of the number of fights between current or ex-best friends/found family members, i genuinely don't know which series would have more

in conclusion: yakuza is just kingdom hearts if all the characters were middle-aged japanese men
