#y'all good ones

My favorite part about being a fanfic writer and fan artist is that I am under no requirement to be *that* good at this. My art skills are decent enough, but I can take as long as I want to grow bc it's not attached to my paycheck. I have zero intention of ever publishing anything, and bc of this I get to play endlessly while still finding unique ways to tell new tales about characters i love. Literally the bar is to not be a bigot, and if I can do that, I'm free to enjoy my creations as a hobby with zero pressure. I love creation, fr.

I think, perhaps one of the funniest things to come from EPIC popularising the Odyssey is that now a ton of people think Poseidon wanted to kill Odysseus.

In the Odyssey, Poseidon has no intention of killing Odysseus. In fact, part of the whole reason Zeus lets Poseidon do whatever he wants even though he thinks Odysseus is rad and should get to kiss his wife is explicitly because Poseidon had no intentions of killing Odysseus. Poseidon wanted to pay back the suffering/inconvenience blinding Polyphemus would have caused. It's a really abstract thing tbh. How do you pay back someone permanently disabling your son? Poseidon's solution was just to amputate Odysseus from his other half; i.e. Penelope. The end game was never murder, it was always an endurance race.

(Od. Book 1: Zeus reassuring Athena that he is not, in fact, a part of Odysseus Hater-Nation. Trans. Robert Fagles)

Also, for those wondering if there's any sort of in text reason for why Poseidon wasn't around in God Games - at the time in the Odyssey when Athena petitions Zeus to let Odysseus leave Calypso's island, Poseidon was -checks notes- on vacation in Ethiopia. Yep. He left to Ethiopia for a festival and thusly was very much absent for Athena's whole "please let Ody go? Please? 🥺" request.

(Od. Book 1: While Odysseus was suffering, Poseidon went to party in the east)

I am begging y'all to read the Odyssey. It's a comedy for everyone except Odysseus and Penelope who are, in fact, suffering 24/7 365.

harrow the ninth is so funny because of how absurd it is. like. harrow is being hunted for sport and no one cares so she physically alters herself to stay awake for 126 hours. god keeps offering her biscuits and she never eats them. mercymorn makes harrow's age younger and younger every time they talk. every single interaction between harrow and ianthe. like every fucking scene with ianthe (it won't taste like anything so add some salt and it will taste like salt). gideon roasting harrow and the rest of the cast through the entire book. how is this fucking book real.

If this world is wearing thin

And you're thinking of escape

I'll go anywhere with you

Just wrap me up in chains

But if you try to go alone

Don't think I'll understand

Stay with me

Its been done, he's resigned. Theres nothing else for him to do. No more missions. No more.

His eyes are sunken and his bones are heavy. He knows he'll be taken care of and thats the greatest privilege he could ever get. Never guaranteed, but with you. He knows.

For his life, his sins, would they matter more when he is in your arms? Warm and alive, no longer a cold corpse.

Revived by your care. Once a lifeless body turned into the man you love, its the only thing he could ever want. To live without want and dreams. Its the best ending.

Lost to the sea of his consciousness, theres no more use for him. His job is done and he'll be back into your arms, he'll be where he belongs. He has never been happier, even as the tears stain his mask and your clothes. He's in the only place he'd want to be. 

He's back home. Back home with you. There's no better place to be one with himself.

Back with himself.

"I'm home moya lyubov'", his voice cracks when he weeps with joy because he's alive. He's alive and he's with you. His knees fall from weakness but he doesn't care to reprimand himself. He doesn't care anymore. He's back in your arms forever. Its the only thing he wants. A life with you.

"Welcome back Nikto."

He's back. He's back.
