Maybe the balanced gameplay was the friends we made along the way.

“When I run over the frightful catalogue of my sins, I cannot believe that I am the same creature whose thoughts were once filled with sublime and transcendent visions of the beauty and the majesty of goodness. But it is even so; the fallen angel becomes a malignant devil. Yet even that enemy of God and man had friends and associates in his desolation; I am alone.”

This is basically the AU right?

(Silly little thing based on @trekkerac 's FrankenghostAU. I remembered this vine one morning and knew what I had to do.)

honestly my mother was a huge champ about her eight-year-old asking to be bought an unabridged edition of the Odyssey for a birthday present, and then she was an equally huge champ about reading her eight-year-old the unabridged Odyssey as a bedtime story and pausing every four lines to define something for me, and let me just say that I have fucking TREASURED the opportunity to reverse that old tradition by more or less forcing her to sit on my couch and listen to Epic and pause it every four lines for my dissertation

Zuko looked up and locked eyes with his cousin, who was struck speechless. Then, ever so slowly, Lu Ten's lips twitched upwards. And then he smiled. And then he beamed. And then he nodded proudly once, just once, and vanished.

Lu Ten comes back in For the Spirits Chapter VII: Take Me South, only to leave Zuko with more questions than answers. Just how much is he truly aware of? When will he return? What is Zuko going to do now?

(What will the South bring?)

Sephiroth was denied his humanity so consistently that the moment he saw a sliver of a possibility to justify his separation from it in a way that put him above humanity instead of below, he took it, and decided to become humanity's victimizer instead of it's victim

Heartache

(my piece for NovaMali's "Classics but Make it Gay 3" ! Inspired by illuminated Bibles Moralisées from the 1200s/1300s and their depictions of same-sex love - couples enlacing under the watchful eye of protective demons. A highly emotional piece for me...

If you're interested in learning more about it, you can snatch the zine over on NovaMali's shop !! I highly recommend it, it's an absolutely gorgeous book ! : https://www.novaandmali.com/shop)

Musical details in the Ithaca Saga that shattered me:

Penelope's song includes a "hanging rhyme," or a rhyme which is never completed, lyrically showing how she is waiting for something. The line that is always left hanging is "Though I never thought it would come to this..." and she continues, "Just know that I'll be here--" to which the obvious completion of the rhyme is "Odysseus." But he hasn't returned...so she's left waiting for her missing piece.

Penelope also can't use Odysseus's name because of the threat posed by the suitors, as we see in the next song! Antinous is particularly musically threatening: when he sings "Where in the hell is our pride and our rage?!" he uses the very same melody Odysseus does in Mutiny on "I am not letting you get in my way!!"

This one's obvious, but Odysseus's name in his boss battle song is sung in the Danger motif, hearkening back to the prophecy in No Longer You (in which the same chant of his name appears)!

Towards the end of Would You Fall In Love With Me Again, when Penelope sings, "I've been waiting, waiting, for..." she sings "for" with the lead to Odysseus's old motif. This appears whenever the crew sings "Odysseus," (holding the "O"), and also as the guitar intro to Monster. This lead is full of expectation, and musically implies that her next word should be "Odysseus"--finally completing the hanging line from earlier! But no.

Instead, Penelope sings a simple, unadorned, "you."

In this, she is telling Odysseus that no matter who he used to be, or who he is now, the man in front of her is the one she's been waiting for. She has no expectations of what he should do or become. Even his name is unimportant. It's just him--the man she has always loved.

And he's finally home.
