Hermes: I mean, small animals are way more vicious. It's because their anger has less space to be bottled up in Eurylochus: That's ridiculous. Give me one example of this Polites: Wasps Athena: Spiders Penelope: Terriers Posideon: Odysseus

Tw for blood, explicit mention of some things and graphic scenes described, as well suicide mentions
-----
During the attack of Narinder to all of his silibings, he did serious injures, but, two three things,
1. I'm implying that their crowns were too tired to do the job they do in the original game (Leshy uses it as eye, Heket uses it as voice, Kallamar uses it as ears, Shamura uses it as part of their brain)
2. I'm also implying that the crowns couldn't do that job that day,
3. This is based to match on my AU's story plot, being slightly different to make it, angstier and darker
So, steel yourself.
What hurts the most is that;
- Leshy was basically a "godling", recently becoming a Bishop, and probably the most hurtful is that he never got to see if his silibings were more hurt than him, that until he saw it across the Crown, but for the days the crown rested, he was basically stumbling and tripping, with no one to help other than his 4 disciples (the witness & bosses of Darkwood)
- Heket's a frog / toad essentially, so she has gills, she can breathe with only sinking in a little water, but she was basically drowning in her blood, now being able to scream or plead for help, all being heard was a bubbling sound and gags and gaspy breaths (to rub salt only, she knew sign language, but no one else knew it, so she was basically doing senseless signs to them)
- Kallamar never heard the rest's screams, sobs and pleads, only seeing them talk, but nothing else, his heart pounding on his bleeding ears, everything quiet, but his body was loud. He most likely covered himself, trying to evade the horrid sight. Not even bothering on trying to reach to his silibings
- Shamura was the one who knew recipes and medicines, but with part of their brain gone with their skull, they couldn't remember them, leaving more pain and not meeting the expectatives of their poor younger silibings, mostly of Leshy, who baselessly clamed that they were being selfish for not helping anyone.
- Narinder was also hurt, realizing too late he'd done a mistake, seeing the blood filling his hands as he stared around, no one daring to look into his eyes. How coukd a young child do such atrocity? He fell deep into a hole, trying to unalive himself at the moment, but the crown, tired too, didn't let him. After that day, tension rised, but no one mentioned it openly until trapping him.
- While being trapped, the cat pleaded, screamed, sobbed and unconsciously swinged his claws to the air, trying to grasp at something.
"I know I was bad! Please! Don't leave me alone! I am your silibing! Sorry! Forgive me— Shamura, will you say something?!"
- Shamura didn't.
- While the punishment continued, Shamura felt more and more guilt despite them being the mastermind, so, they brought Aym and Baal to Narinder and spoke to them in the Purgatory, that until Narinder snapped at them, and tried to jump to attack them.
- Narinder tried several times to unalive himself with constant pleadings to the Red Crown, it didn't heard. After some time, Narinder's mind snaps and shatters into the twisted, "stronger" self: The One Who Waits, this name being taken from a phrase told to Narinder while Shamura left
"You'll always be waiting. Waiting a forgiveness no one will give you. Waiting for someone to hear you like I tried to do. Once you become the one who waits to a miracle to save you it's not fun, hm?"
- In fact, Aym and Baal pretended they didn't, but they heard Narinder sometimes sob and plead to what's somewhat of a hallucination of Shamura that he meant no harm, he was just too scared
Negative 5 is a often mood
we usually think of mood as a scale from 1-5, but there's actually a negative scale too, where the frown turns back into a smile, but just a little insane !
Pretty much yeah
odysseus: whaT DO YOU MEAN MOVE THE BED????
penelope: oh sorry i thought we were playing the ask stupid questions game
samies
Got that dog in me 🐶
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?
THESES ARE SO CUTEE
