"Polites and Odysseus were in love,” I say into the mic.

The crowd boos. I begin to walk off in shame, when a voice speaks and commands silence from the room.

"He's right," they say. I look for the owner of the voice. There in the 2nd row stands: Jorge Rivera-Herrans.

polites 🤝 odysseus 🤝 penelope

odysseus has two hands.

i rest my case.

Headcanon: No matter what ship(PoliOdy, Odydio, etc) if it's other than OdyPen, Penelope is the first one to realize.

And no, I don't mean it in she's watching the slow burn/angst.

What I mean, is that she would realize it first.

She sees their eyes, their body language, and quirks her eyebrows when they call eachother 'friends'

(Do I want Ody/Dio/Pen or Ody/Poli/Pen? Absolutely)

time loop!au where odysseus is forced to continuously attempt to get home alive and he realizes that, no matter how hard he tries, he simply cannot save polites. it is weaved in the very fabric of his existence, his fate, and the only way that odysseus can ever get home is if polites does not come with him.

if it isn’t the cyclops, polites dies trying to protect his friends from the laestrygonians. if it isn’t the laestrygonians, he dies to poseidon’s hand as an example for odysseus’ disrespect. if it isn’t poseidon, he dies fighting circe because hermes is no longer there to help. if it isn’t circe, he dies fighting the souls of the underworld. if it isn’t the underworld, he dies falling for the siren’s song. if it isn’t the siren, he dies being struck by zeus’ lightning. if it isn’t lighting— oh, who am I kidding? it’s always the lightning.

polites will never make it— he can never make it. he falls victim to the narrative, the words of fate that dictate odysseus a hero in his own right. odysseus can only change if polites dies and he can only go home if he changes. with polites alive, he can never internalize what his morality means to him. with polites alive, he can never question his own judgment. with polites alive, odysseus remains fractured from the war and has no reason to fix it since, after all, you can still see yourself in a broken mirror.

it is no longer about choosing whose blood is on his hands, it’s about choosing which face he would rather see for the rest of his life. at least polites will only haunt his dreams.

Hello, Polites

[vicstarskiez]

I return months later to say: that shits gay

110% totally ultra SUPER gay

Literally never seen gayer shit

I was holding back all those months ago, but now I’m saying it with my full chest. Polites was so very gay for his best friend, whether his best friend wanted him back can be left up for debate; but Polites wanted that man.

I’m not explicitly saying that Your Light was a little gay BUT I don’t usually tell my friends to let me be the arms that hold them tight, maybe that’s just be though
