Usually, in a story where a villain get set up along with their ideology, part of the main character defeating them is also defeating the villain’s ideology. Depending on the story, defeating the ideology can be more important than physically defeating the villain themselves.
But this doesn’t happen in Epic.
Poseidon is defeated, yes. But only because Odysseus fully embraces Poseidon’s ruthlessness mentality.
So while the physical victory might be satisfying (“Next to my wife” was a mic drop moment if there ever was one) , Thematically/ideologically, it is a hollow victory. In fact, I would say that it is not a victory, but a defeat.
Are you truly defeating the monster if in the process you become the monster that made you?
Cause the monster’s still there. It’s just you now.
#tbh i think a more thematically... interesting story i guess#is the one where he decides to become a monster to get home#but the reason he's going home (his wife and son) see that he's a monster and don't let him back in their lives#leaving odysseus with both the weight of everything he's done#and the weight of realizing the deaths and sacrifices weren't even worth it#because he became a monster to get back to the people he loves. and they don't even recognize him#very tragic very intriguing character wise#but i recognize this is based on the odyssey and this wouldn't be more accurate to the story#i just think that's a more interesting theme to explore personally#HOWEVER i do love the more modern interpretation of hubris imo#bc hubris is such a big theme in the original odyssey (iirc i haven't read it since high school lol)#where instead of the hubris being odysseus' flaw daring to go against someone more powerful#the flaw of hubris is in poseidon (and the other gods/monsters generally)#where he believes that he can mess with odysseus as much as he wants without odysseus ever pushing back#and it's also in him teaching odysseus to be this way#and Poseidon being so confident in his power and immortality#that he doesn't realize he could be victim of the exact same philosophy that he's encouraging in odysseus#so my view is that it's not really odysseus' lesson in that moment. it's poseidon's#i would also say the line “look what you turned me into/look what we've become” is laced w/ regret & sadness#poseidon hasn't shown that. Odysseus still keeps some semblance of humanity despite everything#which is the difference between the two monsters & why i think his family still recognizes him#& personally. the story of the hubris of the powerful getting what's coming to them#is deeply important to me rn considering the Everything In The World#even though i think other paths may be more interesting to explore. this one is still important to me

I may have gone a tad bit self indulgent with his colors for his redesign..... Help
Before anyone comes up to me and goes;
"YeLlOw AnD rEd ArEnT pOsEiDoNs CoLoRs"
OR
"HeS a GoD oF tHe SeA hE sHoUlD bE aLl BlUe"
His color pallet and skin patterns are based off of three sea creatures
Blue Ringed Octopus

Sneak Peak for the Spicy Chapter of my Poseidon Fic
I ended up with a fever and have been down for the count the past few days so progress on chapter 3 of Hook, Line, & Sinker has been a little slow, but wanted to share a preview that I was pretty happy with hehe:
There, on the cave’s ledge, stood the most gorgeous man you had ever seen. He wore a beautiful set of short-sleeved robes that flowed down his tan, muscular body like a waterfall, complete with the cool tones of the ocean blue. His arms were crossed and one of them was a bright, translucent teal that glistened in the low light as if it were wet. In front of his arms hung two braids and the rest of his long, silky hair fell behind him like the dark of the night giving way to the faintest hint of dawn. Upon his head, he wore a golden laurel that matched the eye-shaped pendant around his neck and contrasted the silver of his gorget and arm bands. He was observing you intently and those deep blue eyes—just as striking as the rest of his sharp, sculpted features—sent fear and arousal coursing through every nerve in your body. Despite your blatant gawking, you still had sense enough to recognize the danger of your current situation. You had no idea how long he had been watching you for, but as soon as you had registered you were not alone, you screamed and propelled yourself backward, away from the ledge. In your panic, you kicked up a large wave of water toward the stranger and, coincidentally, your clothes. Instead of shielding himself, the stranger bent down with such swiftness that the only evidence you had of him moving at all were the discarded garments now in his left hand. “Careful,” the man smirked. “You���ll get your clothes wet, little siren.” You froze in place, nearly sinking as your legs stopped kicking underneath you. It was him. The gorgeous stranger was Lord Poseidon in the flesh. Oh gods, you were going to faint.
Might make a few more tweaks because I want to make sure I properly convey how stunning Poseidon is, but can't wait to get this one written! If you enjoyed, perhaps consider catching up on the rest of the saga? Fic one, "The Shell and The Siren", is up and completed and chapter 2 of "Hook, Line, & Sinker" is available to read here :)

ruthlessness is mercy upon ourselves
yes his hair is bioluminescent
nothing better than a good ol musical to get u to draw again. i got kinda lazy with him, but then again, im just doodling for the sake of doodling, not for the sake of pumping out content :3
ps: i will be making a parallel drawing to this one but as Get In the Water :D
also been thinking of making a ref sheet, an odysseus drawing, and a zeus one.

Poseidon should’ve smooched him just so Odysseus could’ve died very confused and a little into it

Lord of the Sea gets a new set of pearls.
There's this absolutely delightful fic by treatster on AO3 called "Obsession", and let me tell you... there is a backstory to those pearls. Quoting the fic tags here but "Enemies to Enemies with a dash of Homoeroticism" — Poseidon rage-pining, because that is a guilty pleasure of mine. No spoilers, it is short and sweet and beautiful, you can read it yourself. 💙
And because he's utterly Diva, here you go: Pearlseidon cosplaying Edward Teach.
