Telemachus has got twenty years of "daddy, I had a nightmare, can I sleep with you and mommy?" to catch up on and Odysseus is very happy to just let him have them

I wonder if even after Odysseus returns, Telemachus still wakes up in a cold sweat some nights and goes to pace in front of his mother’s door. There’s light and loud talking and laughing and Telemachus grips his sword tightly, tense as he knows he can’t let anyone near.

The door opens and Telemachus jolts, turning to see a man standing in the doorway behind him. He lunges forward, but the man grabs his wrist and shoulder, disarming him and bringing him to the ground. He closes his eyes, bracing himself and feeling a burn in his throat. He failed. He can’t protect her. He-

Suddenly there are gentle hands on his face. A soothing voice replacing the cacophony that the prince realizes had never existed. He looks into his father’s eyes with shame, blinking back tears as the king gently takes him into his arms. Odysseus promises his son that he’s safe, brings him back to rest beside him and Penelope, and lets him have just a few hours of peace before it happens again.

Just thoughts.

what if we were both SCIENTISTS and saved each other from SUICIDE and worked in close quarters for a DECADE but our project turned out to be EVIL and one of us got involved in POLITICS while the other got involved in DRUGS because he is DYING and one of us got EXPLODED and then RESURRECTED but left to become JESUS while the other was transported to another DIMENSION and had to endure narrative PARALLELS before vowing to KILL his friend because he came back WRONG and what if we ended up ASTRAL PROJECTING and finally ACCEPTING OURSELVES all while saving the world as PARTNERS??? WHAT THEN??

The “Jason died to teach Apollo empathy” take reallllly bothers me, because… no..? That’s not what happened..??

Ignoring the fact that Apollo was willing to take his own life minutes before in an attempt to save Meg, Piper, and Jason - he’s been putting his life on the line for others since THO.

You can make the argument that the only reason he went after Kayla and Austin was because they were his kids if you want, but even throughout The Dark Prophecy he was willing to die if it meant saving someone else. He went out of his way to save Lityerses despite the fact he was his enemy, he straight up admitted to Trophonius that he was willing to die for Meg even though she betrayed him for Nero in the prior book, and then he went back to fight for the Waystation with a broken arm because they went through so much effort in supporting him through his trials. It’s actually baffling just how easy it is for him to fall in love with humanity, it’s not something he had to learn!

Jason had stuck his neck out for Apollo in BOO because he saw injustice. He knew Zeus was looking for a scapegoat and he used what little power he had against the king of the gods to try to spare his half-brother. Jason knew that even though he had been nothing but loyal to the gods and had saved the world twice over (cough cough fighting a titan bare handed and defeating Gaea alongside the seven cough cough), he was still just a cog in the system. He was only mortal. The most change he could make to the status-quo was ensuring that the other minor gods were represented in Camp Jupiter, but then he was issued a death sentence months later, so what power did he have really?

But you know who could make a difference?

Apollo. Apollo could.

The thing is, as much as Apollo complained about being a mortal, I honestly believe he would have rejected godhood had Jason not died. He had almost died several times over and the only one who offered him any Olympian assistance was his sister. He resented the Olympians for having all the power in the world and choosing to use none of it to help him or his friends. Apollo's biggest fear - one that overruled dying in my opinion - was becoming a god again, once again a puppet of his father, and falling back into his old ways out of fear and self-preservation.

I can't even count the amount of times where he was on the brink of death and felt relief and satisfaction at the thought of everything being over. He didn't want to die, but it was an escape from having to one day stand up against his father, his abuser. It was the easier alternative even if it was ultimately the worse one.

But Jason made him promise to keep going. To remember.

He had to get back to Olympus, remember all that has been sacrificed in order to return him to godhood so that he could make a better future. He has to live forever to ensure that generation after generation of demigods have someone supporting them indefinitely. So that they would not be as fearful and powerless as he was. He has to be immortal again so that he can use his power for good, as much as that scares him.

He had to become a god so he can look Zeus in the eyes and say "No, this is never happening again."

That's what Apollo learned.

This isn't wrong, but also if you believe poor people from ~the imperial core~ oppress anybody at all you're a tankie idiot and I'm going to ignore any of your opinions.

I don't want to talk about my current place of residence bc I'm slightly paranoid, but I've known lots of those poor people from the global south, I've been the poor person from the global south, and I can tell you none of us was ever oppressed by Mike the Houseless Guy trying not to freeze his ass in the New York streets.

You could argue it's still easier to be poor in New York or Berlin or wherever as opposed to, like, war-torn Sudan (not that tankies give a shit about Sudan beyond occassional lip service) but that's really all it means. So the bridge Mike sleeps under was built with funds plundered from the global south? Wow, I bet it really helps him when it snows. You might as well admit you believe in trickle-down economics.

Now, if you want to talk about people from ~the imperial core~ that make the lives of poor people in other countries actively worse, we can talk about how tankies pushed to get Trump elected, something literally nobody wanted. But tankies are allergic to accountability, so that won't happen.

Much like tankies are never the ones sleeping under bridges, almost all of them are from the USA or UK and want to pretend they're Not Like The Other Citizens of the Imperial Core. The only exceptions are quislings like txttletale, who moved from Venezuela to UK and defends Maduro bc he's not causing her any harm so who gives a shit anyway. These are the people lecturing others about privilege!

i honestly think that anyone who earnestly compares transandrophobia/anti transmasculinity/tme/a discourse to racism/global imperialism needs to shut the fuck up forever. no, tme/tma discourse is not "like poor people from the imperial core refusing to accept that they are more privileged than poor people from the global south." do you understand how stupid you sound? you're doing "trans women are the black people of the trans community" and acting like that's not widely understood to be obscenely offensive.

trans men do not hold any real, tangible, material privilege over trans women the way people from western imperialist countries have power over the countries they COLONIZED FOR CENTURIES. YOU SOUND FUCKING STUPID!!

[evan-buck]

#this is such an odd situation bc buck is so loved but he's hardly anyone's fave and yet everyone still fights over him?? mad.#feels like it's just me and a few trusted mutuals out here 😔 A forever mood! Buck fans who want the best for him and everyone else is making us be like...okay we'll just hang onto him until you all can play nice.

100%! i mean we all lost tommy in this and i knew there'd be a big reaction if it ever happened, but like. buck is still here. and he's had his heart broken. and he was the lens through which we perceived this whole relationship in the first place. can we feel big emotions about that too please and stop blaming him for it?? so glad i have a safe little bubble on the dash who gets it 🫶 that'll teach me for looking in tags lmao

Rewatching Atlantis Squarepantis (for the songs) and WHY DOES HE LOOK SO NERVOUS HERE?!! Everyone else is happy, you would think he would be the most excited.

WHO HURT YOU?!!!

[sillykillerbots]

Her visor is somewhat obscured by the smoke flowing through it, but it's obvious she's processing the interaction.

Right after processing, steam blows from her head and her hair strand instantly curls up to look like a heart and begins to shake, trying to simulate heartbeat, as she flops on Tera like a cat in a comfortable position, panting... Wait what?

"pleeeeaaaseee~" Tera may have caused Six to be Moody.

Yeah you guyd really should tell Kiara, she has like baby fever- so it can't go bad right?

"You're right... Hey Kiara?" She calls out to the blonde drone beauty smelling of fresh linen.

Let's hope this doesn't go downhill...
