Christopher Judge is the funniest mofo on the planet 😭😭😭🙏🙏🙏

For those who don't understand, Christopher Judge is the Actor of Kratos. He's known in the Game Awards for giving long-as-hell speeches cuz he thanks literally everyone. He got memed in social media for it, and he fully embraced it 🤣

So lately I’ve been seeing a lot of posts asking people to stop trying to make Odysseus look nice in their works cuz he’s a “messed-up person in the mythology”. Your opinion is valid however I have but one thing to point out:

You want to know who started all this? Who started to “make Odysseus look nice” in the first place?

It’s Homer. It’s nobody else but Homer himself.

A non-Homeric Odysseus would try to murder people out of his own interests. He’d murder Palamedes without remorse (and we’d be cheering over this but it’s a murder after all), he’d attempt to murder Diomedes just to get the Palladium himself, he’d volunteer to kill Astyanax…meanwhile you wouldn’t find any mention of either Palamedes or Nauplius in Homer’s poems, neither did he mention anything abt the Palladium heist (and Diomedes necessity did not happen until Conon’s version), the death of Astyanax, the distribution of war prizes, etc. And all the details in the Odyssey seemed to deny the existence of Nauplius’s vengeance at all, so Odysseus would not take any of the blame.

A non-Homeric Odysseus would be depicted as “cruel, treacherous”, meanwhile in book 10 of the Iliad Odysseus was not mentioned to have killed anyone during the marauding, neither did he promise Dolan anything at all. The negative interpretations are denied by these details subtly put by Homer.

A non-Homeric Odysseus would be widely known as a “coward” for only shooting arrows from afar. But Homer gave him a spear and had him absolutely slaying in both the Iliad and the Odyssey. That part of Ajax’s speech was invalid already.

Most importantly—a non-Homeric Odysseus would be having kids everywhere else, and the loyalty to his own wife as seen in the Odyssey is no where to be found. Meanwhile his lineage was a single-son line made by Zeus in the Odyssey, and his love for Penelope was one of his main drives, especially seen in book 5 of the Odyssey. He loved his family as a loving parent—something you don’t get to see in most of the non-Homeric writings—for most of the time they followed a different tradition indeed, in which Odysseus wasn’t half as nice as in the Odyssey.

TL;DR: in case you haven’t noticed, the characterization of the Homeric Odysseus was quite different from a non-Homeric version of Odysseus. It’s not that Homer didn’t know of the existence of other versions—he knew them too well, which is why in his version of the story, you don’t get to see any mention of them.

Aphrodite Soap x Ares Ghost. Let me indulge you.

Something about Soap being the god of beauty and life but also being filled with spite and war. And something about Ghost being the least liked god of war. Something about God Ghost being smitten with God Soap.

Modern AU: When your boomer parents don’t know how to work a smartphone to find you when your step brother’s dad didn’t pick you up and take you for pizza. 🍕

AU where Kratos and Freya are in a relationship, Faye passed away and Freya is divorced but co-parents with Odin.

See, I hate modern media making Ares the big bad not bc he’s actually a sweet guy compared to the other gods or anything like that but bc bro is just not all that, he is simply not a credible threat in Greek mythology. Every time he steps out of line or does something bad Athena (or another god or mortal hero) would beat the crap out of him and that would be the end of it.

I know that we love to joke about how Chopper’s a murder-happy war criminal (and he is!), but he’s not just that. At the beginning of Season 2 Episode 12, right after Ezra learned about his parents’ deaths, we see him, out in the field, sitting with Ezra.

He’s not antagonizing him or saying anything for once, he’s just being with him while Ezra goes through something incredibly difficult. It’s such a small, quiet character moment, but it gives Chopper a lot of depth. For all he’s a little menace to everyone, he’s very much a member of the family.

Fayetos shippers, I have found more treasure! Usually, I don't interest in reading coffee shop/bakery AU fanfics. So this is the first time I reading this kind of fanfic and it's actually fun! :D

(A little spoilers, I thought this would be just a wholesome slice of life fic but....HOLY SHIT the story is getting more and more interesting what the hell)
