Wait a minuteā¦papa Tom doesnāt seem too hostile towards Nathalie. Or at least she doesnāt seem nervous/blackmailed. Does Tom not know her past allegiances orā¦is there an alliance in play?
Viceroy employs many in his arsenal, and as far as Nathalie is concerned, Tom is a coworker. :)
#100% the line āsome rots are sweet some rots yield wineā is from user ragewrites who made a shitpost poem abt two slugs eating rot#and it has STUCK in my head ever since#dad villain au#my art#nathalie sancoeur#Nathalie is playing both sides#she's not giving Viceroy all the details but enough to make a deal with him#and she's not hiding Gabriel's bullshit from Viceroy but is still working directly under him bc she's still in love with him and Emelie

people be wondering why there's no appearance from hades in any of the sagas, especially the underworld saga (even if he wasn't in the odyssey itself) i have a theory!
spoilers for vengeance saga and future ithaca saga!
do you not understand how busy that poor guy/god is during odysseus' terrible, horrible, no good, bad journey homeā¢
first he has 7 freshly made pancakes men (14 if you count the club smash noises in survive, but we'll go with 7 for this) sent by chef polyphemus, appearing one after the other.
not long after that, you have 550 very soaked (drowned) men pop through in the blink of an eye, no thanks to his younger brother, mr ruthlessness himself, poseidon.
then while he's still counting/organising the paperwork for them, a young man appears, who happens to be very drunk (talking about pig men?)
not long after that, somehow a warship filled with mortal men breaks into the underworld, ALL ALIVE, and the (king? leader? captain? he's not too sure at this point) starts singing outside his front door about becoming a monster????? but before he can sic cerberus on them, they leave on their own
finally he thinks he has a break when 6 men holding torches (are some missing limbs?!?) have now joined the party down under (granted they're all in no mood to party, they weren't expecting to become snacks for a sea monster)
and just as quick as they'd arrived, in a flash (just like the snap of lightning that took them out) 36 crispy/fried men (gods damn it zeus) appear, weapons drawn like they were about to attack someone (how does that one guy at the front swing such a big sword?)
at this point hades is wondering what the fuck is happening upstairs, because ain't no way these 600 men are all from the same fleet/island under one guy's command (turns out the captain's name is odysseus)
he thinks his prayers are answered because he has had peace for 7 years, just the normal flow of souls into the underworld- (wait whats that chanting)
suddenly those previous 600 souls are flying their way outta the underworld (he didn't know they could do that) while singing "six hundred men! (six hundred)" on repeat
they return though (thank the gods, he didn't need to go soul hunting) and once again he thinks everything will be calm
(he also found out from zeus, that their brother got his godly-ass handed to him by that MORTAL odysseus! WHO USED HIS OWN WEAPON AGAINST HIM (something to help make him laugh over spring & summer and while he waits for his beautiful persephone to return home))
he finally thinks his time with odysseus and the souls that come from him/being around him is over. when in minutes of each other, the souls of 108 men appear, all killed in gruesome ways. then they tell him that they were killed by beggar who then revealed himself as king odysseus, from trying to marry his wife and take over his kingdom (ok very understandable murder then)
at this point hades doesn't know whether he's excited for, or dreading the day he actually meets odysseus in the distant future (yes distant, i don't care about/ don't accept the telegony. let the poor man enjoy the rest of his life with his son and wife!!!)
but yeah, understandable why you don't hear from him throughout the sagas
#hades: i'm hard working & organised#hades: i love and spoil my wife for the six months she's here and then love and miss her dearly for the six she's not#hades: so WHY am i being punished with all this extra work because of ONE MORTAL#hades: *looking at all the souls that keep appearing*#hades: CAN YOU ALL STOP MOVING AROUND?! ITS SO FRUSTRATING WHILE IM TRYING TO COUNT!!#can gods get grey hair? because i feel like this has caused hades some#epic the musical#epic the vengeance saga#hades#hades epic#? i guess#odysseus epic#epic the musical spoilers#epic the vengeance saga spoilers#epic ithaca saga#epic ithaca saga spoilers#can you spoil something when your pulling/using the info from an ancient poem?#*shrugs*

One sunny day when I was in high school I was walking home alone. The sun was shining, gentle wind rustled the treetops. I was just starting to be able to see that beauty again. I had been depressed for a long time, but that mundane walk home felt magical to me.
On the sidewalk I saw something unusual. I was in love with life in that moment and fascinated to know more. I crouched down to observe and saw the most enchanting bug. Iād never seen anything like it. To this day I canāt remember what it looked like, only that it was as beautiful as the sun shining on the green world below.
My attention was rapt on this tiny magical creature living in such a massive and wondrous world, wondering what it was and marveling that Iād never seen anything like it.
I didnāt hear the girls come up behind me on the sidewalk. But suddenly there was a leg beside me. I wasnāt embarrassed to be caught looking at a bug. I was glad someone else might come observe this tiny wonder with me.
Her foot shot up and stomped down abruptly, crushing the object of my interest. I looked up at her.
I didnāt know either of the girls standing above me. They had seen a stranger and decided to punish her for behaving in a way they considered unacceptable. I looked up at the face of the girl who had killed my bug, trying to understand her thoughtless malice.
I think she had expected me to be upset or visibly shaken by her destruction. When I stared unblinkingly up at her she seemed to feel a brief moment of shame, shifting uneasily.
Then she and her friend turned and walked away without a word spoken.
#ramblies#sometimes I want to make a comic about this moment but I can never do it justice#it was just a random act of cruelty#but I think when I didnāt react how she expected she did realize what sheād done#writing#itās not a poem but is it? I dunno#story

The idea that uni protesters are "elitist ivy-league rich kids larping as revolutionaries" on Twitter and Reddit and even here is so fucking funny to me if you actually know anything about the student bodies at these unis. Take it from someone who's going to one of the biggest private unis in the US, 80% of the peers I know are either from the suburbs or an apartment somewhere in America, children of immigrants, or here on a student visa. I've heard about one-percenter students, but I've never met one in person. Like, don't get me wrong, the institution as a whole is still very privileged and white. I've talked with friends and classmates about feeling weird or dissonant being here and coming from such a different background. But in my art program, I see BIPOC, disabled, queer, lower-income students and faculty trying to deconstruct and tear that down and make space every day. So to take a cursory glance at a crowd of student protesters in coalitions that are led by BIPOC & 1st/2nd-gen immigrant students and HQ'd in ethnic housings and student organizations and say, "ah. children of the elite." Get real.
#also idk how to tell you this but even if it were true. wealthy children potentially sacrificing their educational careers to protest is#a good thing actually. idk how to tell you that caring about people from other nations is good#personal#āthis war has nothing to do with most students cuz nobody's getting draftedā idk how to explain to you that we should be angry#that our tuitions of 10s of thousands of dollars that we pay every year for an education is being used to fund a genocidal campaign#also the implication that if you go to a uni institution you are automatically privileged by participation no matter your bg#i didn't /want/ to go to this school. i was supposed to go to a school with an art/animation program. but i realized my immigrant#parents have been working their whole lives to get me here. and turning the opportunity down would be a disservice to their sacrifice#this is getting into convos of āwhat 2nd gen kids owe their parentsā which is different for everyone but. yeah#i just get pissed off at seeing people misrepresenting student bodies as āwealthyā and āprivilegedā and āeliteā when it's such a blatant li#i remember a year ago a friend told me they can't fly home to hong kong for winter break because the plane tickets are too expensive#so they have to find temporary housing around the area#last quarter for a film doc class my film partner made a doc on a small group of marxist grad students from india discussing praxis#during a rally a few months ago in response to police presence the coalition invited palestinian students to speak about their experiences#and lead songs and read poems they wrote. these are STUDENTS. are they elitist too?#this is not to disregard my own personal privilege either.#this whole narrative's just to rationalize a lack of empathy to me. seeing a 19yo student get shot by a rubber bullet and your first#reaction is āHAW! HAW! bet richy rich didn't see THAT coming when she put on her terrorist hood!ā#newsflash. these big uni campuses are HAUNTED by the violence of past protests and revolutions and police brutality. we know.#why do you think these coalitions have been making reinforced barricades at record speed

if you say you're not a woman,
then the dress code's always pants,
you're allowed to ditch the makeup,
and start working with your hands.
if you say you're not a woman,
beauty standards don't apply,
you can cut your hair however,
and post shirtless pics online.
if you say you're not a woman,
you're no longer gay, you're straight!
now your parents will accept you,
and you can assimilate.
look at all the things we'll give you,
if you play our little game.
we'll remove your breasts completely!
we can help you change your name!
if no women say they're women,
then no women can unite.
if we convince you you're not women -
you'll stop seeking women's rights.

If I see one more person say Odysseus cheated on Penelope I'm gonna rip out your ligaments like Typhon did to Zeus that one time
#epic the musical#the odyssey#odysseus#penelope epic the musical#āHe slept with Calypso every night for 7 yearsā yeah bc she forced herself on him every night#and he had to sleep with Circe to save his crew#Not like bro could just refuse Calypso#she's a literal goddess who'd likely do who knows what to him for saying no. And as for Circe? Consent under duress is not consent#end of.#You forget the part in the poem where every morning he sits on the beach and cries bc he misses home and feels like he betrayed his wife???#Or how in the musical it's implied Calypso's abuse gets so bad it's one of the things that almost drives him to kill himself???#Or how in certain tellings of the Odyssey Ody straight up has a break down when telling his wife what they did to him#both bc of how badly it traumatized him and fear that she'll blame him for what happened and leave him?!?!!#Calypso and Circe when I catch you two when I catch you

the subway rats poem is teruhashi coded
#saiki k#saiki k fanart#art tag#teruhashi kokomi#you guys thought i was joking But I WASNT. I WAS SERIOUS.#āiām not the type to have friendsā āiāve received more compliments on my appearance than greetingsā ok girl#go to therapy#anyway the poem reminded me of someone rejecting the companionship of people they view as below them#even if secretly they want it#because they feel too far off#which is what teruhashi does especially initially#rejecting friendship because she feels like sheās only valued as an object of desire#and is better than all these average people trying to befriend her#This poem also applies to saiki for that exact reason
