what's odysseus's thought on y/n

(by the way I love the interactions that we are given between the two of them oh my fucking god he is a slime)

like he's practically seen him grown up

like what does he think of him

Odysseus actually likes Y/N.

To a point.

(on mobile.)

Unlike many others, y/n is often blunt and straight to the point which is rare in Odysseus' circles. And it is nice to know that someone could tell Odysseus the simple facts.

Also while y/n can be prideful, he is not as arrogant as many warrior are. ( Think someone like theseus vs how y/n acts)

However that also work against him. Bc many ways Odysseus can't use Y/N in the political mind games that are played among the kings and therefore limits how useful y/n is to him during war.

But the way y/n acts also ends being a reason Odysseus want to take y/n with him (that and he actually felt bad for the lad bc Odysseus might be a bastard, he does believe y/n had more than proven himself)

Odysseus had no idea what he would be walking into so having the support of y/n who is loyal to a fault and can easily fight anyone would had been a huge boon for him.

Also he is a little envious that unlike his own son, y/n was old enough to join the war. Odysseus just really want to see his son and wife again and he would burn the world and everyone in it to do so.

So nothing personal when he fucked y/n over. But he really did have a good reason for why he did it.

But doesn't he always?

To Cassandra

"Cassandra" by John Maler Collier (1885), courtesy of Wikimedia Commons.

O shining, clairvoyant Cassandra, Beautiful and brilliant, Virgin daughter of Priam and Hecuba, Bearer of the bewitched chest of Bacchus, Whom Apollon accorded the divine power of augury, And powerful Pallas protected with the almighty aegis of vengeance, You who foresaw the tragic fall of Troy, tearing away Helen’s golden headdress to reveal a future shrouded in bloodshed, but went unbelieved by those you told; You who hurtled ahead, ever onwards to your doom, Helpless and bewildered, Defenseless at the feet of the Fates; Teach me to trust in the Gods and never turn away from their gifts, even if they are mysterious and frightening. Give me guile to glean Trojan Horses that enter my life, axe in hand and torch aloft. Help me to keep an open mind to those who prophesy future chaos, and see how I can change the world, in my own small way, to prevent potential destruction. O ever-sorrowful maiden, Teach me patience, Give me wisdom, Help me attain peace of mind.

🎼 𝐎𝐑𝐏𝐇𝐄𝐔𝐒 : Musician, Lover, Mythologer

Legendary Orpheus, son of a Muse and of a King or, in some versions, son of a Muse (Calliope) and the God Apollo, is one of the most talented Greek musicians of the bygone past most well-known for His katabasis in search of Eurydice.

Aside from being a great Musician able to charm Di Inferi and a Lover so devoted He descended into the silent darkness near the throne of Orcus, Orpheus is also, according to some, a cultic leader of the Orphics, followers of a mysterious religion of Ancient Thracia. He is a source of many hymns, including one to the dying God Dionysus-Zagreus or some to a furious, grieving Demeter. Beheaded by the Bacchantes, He is the definition of devotion to His arts, courage, love, and enormous charm. I’d like to venerate Him as a Hero, be He mortal or demigod.

Orpheus - to me - is one of the Patrons of solitude, grieving, sacrificial and catarthic love, devotion, spiritual influence. Honey-voiced, quick-fingered, of courageous heart.

Here are some objects and activities to venerate and remember Orpheus or invoke Him in one’s daily life. I have no right to deify Him and thus I personally feel that I can’t offer to Him. However, I want to remember His journey, His life, and His choices as He is most cherished to me out of all Ancient heroes.

𝄞 Objects related to the art of music, be it instruments, musical note sheets, players, vynil sets, or simply one’s favorite music box. 𝄞 Flowers associated with the dead and/or the Underworld such as dandelions or myrtle - and Orpheus’ flower, be it in paintings or in other ways of depiction. 𝄞 Hymns, myths, and stories of His cult written down in any form one would desire - pinned or placed where one can look at them often. 𝄞 A wreath, natural or fake, of golden leaves, be it myrtle or laurel, to signify His role as a well-known Poet and Musician - and as a child to Apollo. 𝄞 Paintings of snakes, ethically retrieved bodily parts of snakes, or any sort of imagery of the animal to remember the unfortunate departure of Eurydice.

𝄞 Learning how to play Orphic hymns on any instrument of your possession or singing them with the best of your ability to keep His words and His mythological truth close to heart and deep in mind. 𝄞 Growing flowers of the Underworld, if possible, to remember and venerate His descent. Partaking in herbal craft, whatever it might be, and learning more of the local flora of the Ancient Thracia. 𝄞 Remembering Him when the idea of devotion in love crosses your mind, venerating His all-encompassing love for His adored Eurydice that brought Him further down than many have walked.

All art is taken from public domain. This is largely a UPG.

Can someone please explain to me why people like Octavian?

What gets me is that in song of Achilles, Patroclus could have walk away so many times.

But he couldn't.

He wouldn't.

Because his love for this godborn boy, for this bright and swift and untouchable boy that could had become a divine being, decided to become his first friend.

Even after he found out what Patroclus did.

Just as Achilles' pride had doomed him and Patroclus, Patroclus' love had doomed himself and Achilles.

Soooo.... How did the hair bleaching go??? 👀👀

AAAAA!! Okay, it went fine luckily 😭 I’ve dyed and bleached my hair before but I don’t think I’ll ever get too used to it, I haven’t bleached my hair in like 3-4 years so I was a little nervous. BUT, it went fine. My cheer coach noticed and was joking around that I’m now a stereotypical cheerleader (I’m a flyer, my hair is blonde, I’m sarcastic.. Like ever villain in high school movies) But, yeah, it went fine! I almost got bleach and my eye and thought I would go blind but luckily it got on the wall instead of my eye 💪💪
