M1ds3ven11 - God Let's Me Live Another Day

Y’all. You guys. I’m sobbing over this lyric from I can’t help but wonder

“Used to say I’d capture wind and sky for you”

Because like. HE LITERALLY DID! HE CAPTURED A STORM & HARNESSED THE WINDS THEMSELVES TO GET BACK HOME! I AM FUCKING ILL

was looking at "The Challenge" from the Ithaca Saga again in the living room when my mom comes up at the line "I'd rather die than go home without the best of you" and is like:

"what if it's not the best of him that comes home?"

and that got me thinking. because like. it's not the best of ody that comes home. it's a version of him that has killed and sacrificed and chosen to be ruthless and is a self-proclaimed monster. he beats up gods and gives up the life of his brother-in-law. he admits it himself; he's not sure penelope will accept him because he knows it's not him that's coming back. he's begging her to fall in love with him again.

and yet she looks under all of what he's done and sees who he really is. he's still the person she met, the man she fell in love with. she doesn't even deny that he's done what he's said he'd done, she's saying she'll love him anyways because at the core of all of that he's still him. he's still hers. she believes everything he's done is out of love for her and their son and that's the best version of him that she knows. he is someone who is absolutely devoted to his family and the people he loves, and she has such confidence in that thought that she hates to hear him ask if she'll fall in love with him again.

because why would she need to when the best of him is standing in front of her eyes?

Eurylochus: Are you really going to trade the lives of your own crew just to MAYBE see your wife again?

Odysseus: … You’re really going to ask me that?

Eurylochus: (remembering that his captain is the biggest wife guy) No you’re right, that was a stupid question.

I was playing animal crossing w my boyfriend and he pointed out how that game also had a sort of father figure with twins under his care so uh

The one who waits (extremely chill version)

Ive seen a tiktok of this, and i wiiish

How about the "I heard today is telemachus birthday" Au

The suitors are actually nice, and just help penelope around with Telemachus and the kingdom

Odysseus is red with anger just to com home and everyone is helping penelope plan a birthday party to his son and helping her with ithaca while he is gone.

No bloodshed

And he gets to see penelope again and they have their emotional meeting.

The suitors are like

"SO THE KING IS ALIVE"

"I told you we should have belived the queen"

"Telemachus will be so happy to see you here"

"HEY, it became a legend that only you could string that old bow, since then everyohe tried but no one could do, can you show us?"

"Hey, let the king have a moment with his wife, they havent seen eachother in 20 years"

"Hey you two can have your moment alone, we will warn when we see your son boat on the horizon"

And then on their room

"What was that?"

"Oh yeah, telemachus' friends,they are pretty nice, they helped us around the palace."

And odysseus is like: ":0"
