im rewatching starstruck odyssey and this narration really stuck out to me…… big comedy season but the themes of isolation vs. connection are sooooo special and beautiful <3

#i!! love!!!! dimension 20!!!!! #i love brennans imagery. i love his worldbuilding #i love when he says something funny and the whole table laughs and then he makes the exact same joke to make them laugh again. #it’s so heartwarming ☹️☹️ #ttrpgs are literally just stories the players write together. not a profound statement but its so sweet & human when u really think about i #i also love the sci-fi element of stody. everyone watch it neowwww ‼️‼️ #starstruck odyssey #dimension 20 #d20 #ok plus the fact that the original comic was made by his mom ☹️☹️☹️. #and the music. sooo fucking good

Penelope: We didn't even have a proper wedding. We just went down to the courthouse on a Tuesday. Odysseus: The judge sentenced me to life with no chance of parole. Penelope: You begged me to marry you. Odysseus: It's true. I did.

(Source: Modern Family)

#then he kisses her cheek or something #Obviously they had a lovely big wedding but it was the VIBES #Ody talking about a life sentence? #plus the whole “You begged me to marry you” with “It's true. I did.” Is so them. You cannot tell me he wasn't smitten with her from beginni #And he's absolutely fine admitting that #They're telling Telemachus. and then it becomes that thing where they can't agree on how it went down. #odysseus #penelope #odypen #tagamemnon #odyssey #Mad rambles #I'm back to memes now. #shot by odysseus

(OOC: I randomly had the idea of "what if I tried to give Scythe an Arcane Odyssey name with options from the first name and last name lists" and then proceeded to find out that "Target" is an existing surname)

Don’t have any cool fanart for totk so here‘s a sprite edit instead! It was the next best thing I’ve got ^^ (and a transparent version)

The og sprite‘s from Etrian Odyssey 5. The wolf just gave too much wolf link vibes to not make this edit (and it’s also why the eye pattern‘s green here. It looks very fitting tho imo :3) Tried to keep the shading style as accurate as possible, though I‘m not sure how successful that attempt was .w.

The original and a low jpeg version of the sheikah slate are under the cut:

#ToastShark doodles #sprite edit #do I tag both games? #legend of Zelda #loz botw #etrian odyssey #etrian odyssey 5 #the answer is yes. #…ibisPaint‘s speedpaint feature calculates time weirdly but apparently this took. 25h. …Ouch. #really tho #look at that wolf and tell me it’s not fitting #could’ve made the clouds the chain but it would’ve been the wrong side #…plus I tried and it didn’t look good ^^

I swear you pull off Mario and Luigi's bond perfectly in this AU! (And not just in this AU but in your other art as well!)

I can imagine the adventures your versions of Mario and Luigi go on!

For some reason, Super Mario Odyssey is coming to mind. I wonder how this version of Bowser and Peach would go in that, since Bowser is much more cruel in your verse. I also remember Luigi's Balloon World, where Luigi's so supportive to Mario. I can imagine your version of Mario being so happy to chat with his brother, venting his fears and pains as well as receiving love and comfort and telling happy memories to Luigi too. All while Luigi comforts Mario and laughs with Mario during happy times.

Also, poor Luigi in the Snow Kingdom forgetting his coat, he looked so cold in his overalls. I can imagine Mario instantly dragging his shivering brother to the Odyssey for soup and blankets.

Sorry for the rambling. My point is, your version of Mario and Luigi and Peach and Bowser is soo cool and I love them and it makes me think of what the games would be like in your verse (we need more vulnerable Mario). I just needed to let it all out. Keep up the good work and thank you!

Thank you! 🥹 I'm sure glad you like my portrayal of the bros! I just love them so much. 💞

Also these are all wonderful examples!! While I haven't thought of full adventures for them yet per say, I've often pictured them in a wide variety of very specific scenarios; picturing how each would react to this or that situation, how their interactions would go, what the primary mood would be, etc. 😊 Be it in a context where they're younger, where one of them is feeling down, where there are romantic shenanigans involved or where the setting is cozy and domestic, I find their relationship simply delightful to explore!

And omg YES, more vulnerable Mario ftw!! 😩💯 Some could say that mine is arguably perhaps even a bit too vulnerable, but that's just how I like to present him. 🥺💖 Emotional depth and openness is one of my absolute favorite traits to illustrate, and in my personal opinion, it's one that suits Mario quite well. ☺️

#thanks again!! ❤️💚 #I love hearing about hypothetical scenarios that are partially inspired/taken from the source material #it always makes for really fun references 😁 #plus some of these ideas cab lead to great concepts as well 👀 #My whole body swap tangent WAS directly inspired from a scene in Odyssey after all 😏🤭 #that's what makes these elements so great #they're easily adaptable 🤓✨️ #asks #mario #luigi #good bros 💗 #brotherhood talk #headcanons and ideas #personal portrayal #characterization

I am very tempted to write a canon divergence fic in which Odysseus takes in Astyanax as his own child and travels around with Odysseus. Eventually we will realize that the prophecy about what would happen if he stayed alive was true, but not in the way everyone interpreted.

If I wasn't drowning in school work, I'd be doing it right now.

#epic the musical #epic the troy saga #this is my astyanax lives au #plus telemachus would get a baby brother #also the idea of odysseus lightening up after becoming responsible for another child is fun #does he deserve it in the original book? #no #not until later on #but in the musical hes pretty chill #(if this is what gets me to actually read the odyssey for class i will be happy) #(annoyed that i had to use fanficton to get me to read it) #(but happy)

Are you enjoying Emily Wilson's Iliad translation (from what you've read so far)? Both her Odyssey and Iliad translations are on my TBR list for this year :)

I very much am! her translation is in iambic pentameter so it flows really well - her justification is that the Homeric Epics were meant to be performed orally (the original greek text was in hexameter, which made it conversational and easy for performers to riff off) and iambic pentameter is the closest to that in the English language. It’s poetic but not overly flowery so it’s easy to follow. I’m really enjoying the audiobook for that reason (the narrator’s great). I’ve skimmed through her Odyssey because I had to write an essay on it and liked it a lot - the part where Odysseus and Penelope talk is especially touching. The other version I read was Samuel Butler’s prose translation and i do prefer Emily Wilson’s. I’ve heard good things about Robert Fagles’ as well but haven’t gotten around to it.

I’ve also seen things about Wilson’s perspective being fresher in regards to the handling of women in both Epics (especially in the Odyssey regarding the slaves). Hope this was helpful and I’d love to hear your thoughts when you get around to them :)

#I can’t quite recall if she’s the first to do the iambic pentameter thing but it’s definitely a plus over the prose versions imo #if only because it’s closer to how the Greeks actually *experienced* the epic rather than it being a direct ‘accurate’ translation #thanks for the ask! #answered #jp rambles #books #mythology #the Iliad #the odyssey

I went on tiktok to just watch some silly Odysseus videos but then I mostly saw people going like "Yeah, maybe Odysseus cried on Calypso' island every day but honestly he had that coming after what he did Achilles and Patroclous/Circe!!!" and "Everything that happens in Odyssey is deserved cuz he took Patrochilles to war!!!" and "I feel so bad for Circe and Calypso and Penelope, they deserved better!!!"

For fucks sake I beg you, read anything different from Millers bs and like educate yourself- And please stop goddamn saying that rape victim. deserved it.

Circe probably didn't give a flying fuck, Calypso is a rapist and abuser and Penelope deserved everything she wanted and SHE WANTED ODYSSEUS

I think I've had enough internet for today, imma go wash my eyes with bleach. Anyways sorry for ranting here, i hope you don't mind it lmao

It's alright. I absolutely understand the vents about the whole thing. :'D No one deserves to be a victim of such a thing no matter WHAT they've done. I hope your eyes are okay after the bleach

Like Odysseus does so many fucked up things but Calypso and Circe? He is the victim. Period. It's very clear that Odysseus is in extreme distress on Ogygia. And Circe wasn't some sort of FwB situation. There's fear and numbness in the language he uses when talking about it. There's so much victim blaming and it SUCKS.

While back then it probably wouldn't be considered SA but now? It clearly is.

Even then, Odysseus' journey was kind of about "temptation" or just straight up "Die or get out of my sea." From Poseidon. "I don't want you in my waters so I'm gonna try and give you things that will keep you on land or just kill you."

Immortal goddesses wanting you would be many people's dream come true but not for Odysseus. And I think that's the point. His determination, how he clawed his way back into the arms he never wanted to leave in the first place, is incredible. Many people would've given up and just started a new life but he never would because no life he could ever create would compare to the life he had before. Even if it's different, it's what he's always wanted.

He literally tells Calypso "I'm not stopping until I'm home. I don't care if I suffer more until I do. I'm going home."

“Mighty goddess, do not be angry with me over this. I myself know very well Penelope, although intelligent, is not your match                                          to look at, not in stature or in beauty. But she’s a human being and you’re a god. You’ll never die or age. But still I wish, every moment to get back to my home,                                                       to see the day of my return. And so, even if out there on the wine-dark sea some god breaks me apart, I will go on— the heart here in my chest is quite prepared to bear affliction. I’ve already had so many troubles, and I’ve worked so hard                                  through waves and warfare. Let what’s yet to come be added in with those.”

(Book 5, Johnston)

Circe's a goddess and what happened is nothing like Dionysus and Ariadne and Apollo and Hyacinthus for example. Circe never gave Odysseus a crown of stars and he would never go out of his way to kill 120 people for bothering her. They did not love each other and he can't refuse as she's a goddess.

If you interpret them sleeping together the entire year,(It's only explicitly said that they had sex once so that's what I go with personally.) that doesn't mean he was happy with it! Even then, the whole situation is not what a healthy FwB should look like! I'm asexual and even I know that no one in a FwB situation should have to BEG in any way that basically says "Please let me go or kill me" with supplication!!! The fact that he leaves so quickly he forgets one of his men? The fact that during Elpenor's funeral, he doesn't greet Circe himself? He was avoiding her. Wouldn't he want to get "one last night together" during Book 12 if they were fwb? 🙄

It's bonkers to me that people hate him for being a "cheater" when A.) having multiple lovers wasn't uncommon in Ancient Greece, and B.) the two people he is explicitly said to have "cheated" with, weren't his choice. He wasn't actively searching for pretty women either!!!

As mentioned, while it was common for men to have many lovers, Odysseus never had any listed unlike some of the other men. (not bashing any of them. I'm just making a point in comparison.) He also has no other children besides Telemachus in Homer's works. There's no evidence of him having other lovers other than speculation. (funny enough, I once read somewhere that the reason why Odysseus is so mean is because he doesn't "bond" enough with the other soldiers. 😂)

Does that mean he didn't have other lovers? Technically, Nope! It's just never explicitly stated either way. He has slaves but none were ever said to be concubines or that he sleeps with them. He has deep bonds with his fellow soldiers but that doesn't mean he sleeps with them. That doesn't mean people can't write or talk about him doing so even though it's not mentioned! Just like it also means that someone can write him not doing so as there's nothing that says it either way in Homer's Works! :D

It's fucked up when people say "He didn't try to leave Calypso enough" or something of the like. It just tells you how A.) they didn't read the Odyssey or have piss on the poor reading comprehension or B.) ...you should probably stay away from that person...

With Circe though??? I can understand the confusion but digging deeper and looking at the text, he wasn't having a good time. Or at the very least was walking on Eggshells the whole time. I hate bringing up that essay over and over again but like...I literally wrote everything there.

I also don't like how people take Circe's morally gray-ness away from her. Let her do something fucked up to be fucked up!!! Let her traumatize Odysseus!

Idk, I kind of hate that I'm "known" for this but I relate to this idiot asshole a lot and it means a lot to me that his story, despite what happens to him, has a happy ending :'D

#Thank goodness I don't have tiktok >:) #I wish there was a way to like. have anonymous posts? because I made that PTSD post to show how him refusing to be bathed #by Nausica's maids and him choking Euryclea and was giving reference to make a point but I wish I wasn't like. Known for this??? #but like... I HAVE something to say. Having specific knowledge of some things just...really makes it clear in what happened that I don't #think others have considered. #And I was afraid if I was “vague” then people would say “You're just saying that to get sympathy points” and I didn't want to deal with #that :'D plus like in his outbursts I saw myself you know? #I just kept thinking “oh shit. I KNOW what you're doing because I did it too aAAAAAHHHHHHHHh” #I relate to Helen too but in a way. The Odyssey shows her “HEALED” (which fuck yeah!!! YESSS!!!😭) it doesn't show the #PTSD in the same way as she's had many years to recover. Watching it happen in “real time” for Odysseus was...really nice. #i said it before but the Odyssey feels REAL compared to the “girlboss queen slay” shit. Him tryiing to force himself into normalcy #only to act out is...yeah. #save me morally gray circe #ask #anon #Mad rambles #tw sa #tw ptsd #tw sex assault #anti madeline miller #anti circe #essay

playing ac odyssey and being done with the main story and most of the dlc content I must say it is a whole special sort of grief to return to old places with kassandra. returning to her home from the dlc? pain. returning to her house on kephallonia or markos vineyard? agonizing. returning to sparta? tormenting. the adresteia is truly the only true home kassandra has.

#i don‘t think i am mentally okay with playing new game plus #cause #i saw phoibe and i could not #kassandra in the same armor she just wore in my game in atlantis and then phoibe scene from the start. #I AM IN PAINNNNNNN #ac odyssey #assassins creed #kassandra the eagle bearer
