Every day I think about the fact that she said these words and she . She said them. Out loud in a court of law.

Menelaus rambles a lot about not only Helen, but also Hermione. About how she used to say Olive like "Olifs". How she lost her first tooth running too fast and running into a low branch while out with Helen. How he'd sometimes wake up to Hermione leaning over him and poking his face to say, "Dad, can we go see the horses?" even though it was barely daylight. How she was much nicer waking Helen and how he thinks Hermione did that on purpose because she found "dad's face funny". How her favorite color was every color.

And Odysseus listens.

And he thinks about how his son only had a few teeth coming in when he left, teething on everything. How he could only say one syllable with his babbles. How his son needed balance to stand but Odysseus was so proud that Telemachus was very good at rolling over. How his son loved pulling at his and Penelope's hair.

How his son would be talking, walking, maybe even lost his first tooth by now. And he doesn't even know if he'll ever know his son's favorite color.

#Hi get sad with me :D #Odysseus and Menelaus are the Bros™ to me. I love them. Both simps who love their family despite being different in personalities #You cannot tell me they didn't talk about this and how this was painful for both of them :') #To make myself feel better. I like the thought of Athena kind of keeping him up to date :'D as he's her pet you know? #okay so this next bit ain't angst but imagine Hermione just coming in staring in the dark with the classic: #“Mom. Dad. I frew up🥺” #scaring the shit outta both her poor parents. Yeah I know she had nurses with her most likely but it's cute and fun!!! #I'm sorry but that's so fucking funny to me. I think every Parent has experienced that I'm pretty sure. #odysseus #menelaus #tagamemnon #greek mythology #this'll probably flop but oh well xD My homies can get sad with me >:) #odyssey #the odyssey #telemachus #hermione #AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA #helen of sparta #penelope #odypen

Watching Eddie Begins with Buddie-colored glasses on is already crazy enough, but I just caught something that I never really thought about before. Athena tells Bobby that the news crews showing up before she leaves for another call might turn the call into a nationwide story. And then Buck absolutely LOSES it when 30 feet of wet earth falls on top of Eddie. So yeah, maybe Bobby pulls Buck away to stop him from futilely digging for Eddie with his hands, but maybe he also does it because he doesn’t want his kid’s grief and fear and love for Eddie being broadcast across the country. Especially not when Bobby thinks that Eddie’s probably already dead. And not only does Bobby pull Buck away from the well, he pulls back right into his lap. This is the closest we get to Bobby cradling Buck in his arms until the lightning strike, and it’s because he doesn’t want Buck to be in pain, and he most certainly does NOT want the tragedy of Eddie’s death to be made even worse by Buck’s pain over it being broadcast to the entire country.

i am an athena cykes defender forever and ever until the day i die but god. somewhere out there there is a universe where apollo justice got actual follow through and it kills me that i am not living in it

#sorry. i am replaying apollo justice. and it has SO MUCH POTENTIAL. #kills me that we never get any real answers about kristoph obv but its not even just that #klavier as a rival was so interesting. because hes basically already at the state that you're trying to get all the other prosecutors in th #series to in terms of winning vs truth. hes really well rounded as a prosecutor in a way that you as the player arent used to #and that was an interesting departure from the formula for aa in general but then they slapped him with a whole DIFFERENT problem #with kristoph and phoenix. and then they just. do not resolve it whatsoever. #even though apollo is literally right there as a perfect little avenue for resolution. and i KNOW that they WOULD HAVE resolved it #if only they would have MADE THE SECOND GODDAMN GAME #PLUS the secondary conflict of systemic injustice within the system and phoenix's role in that. TRUCY. #god fuck ace attorney why are you so good and so bad at the same time #what we really should have gotten is an apollo justice duology and THEN an athena cykes solo game #where apollo shows up exclusively as a background character and athena actually gets to be the playable attorney in more than 2 cases. #ugh. whatever #personal

[warpedpuppeteer]

Listen, I'm ready for the next episode to have Buck and Eddie being there for each other. Checking on each other and acting as anchors for each other from any oncoming panic because water, helicopter, drowning, losing family. They're about to GO THROUGH IT and I'm seated for it

#also for hen and chim to be worried as hell for them as well #and they're all just fucking hanging on #worried about bobby and athena #they're giving each other strength #buddie #911 abc

How would you describe Hermes? Most fictional adaptations that I've read have made him bland or a class clown obsessed with jokes. I'm trying to write something balanced but I'm unsure how to do it. Do you have any advice?

Personally, I think he fits chaotic neutral alignment more than any other god. I've based my interpretation not just on his myths but also on the domains he rules. For me he's an individualist who does things on a whim. Not that doesn't care for anyone else at all - I do think he genuinely and consistently cares for some of his divine family members. He's thick as thieves with Zeus, Apollo, Pan and Dionysus if you ask me. But towards the others, he is mostly just...idk if apathetic is the right word... but whatever he does - help or harm - depends on whether he thinks it's fun or not. He would also definitely and very easily convince others that he's helping them when in reality, he's not. As long as he is entertained, he would show no remorse for doing what he did regardless of how it would affect the others. This could be fun or terrifying, depending on the situation.

Like you said, the fun side of it is what's usually shown in most of media adaptations I've come across. He is usually written off as a comedic relief who does harmless pranks for laughs. So it would be a good change to see the other, terrifying side of this attitude of his. For all the complaints I have with Rick Riordan's characterization of gods, I've grown to like Hermes' portrayal in his series. He is fun, he is helpful. But he's also negligent and that actually has a significant effect on the others in the series. There's also one instance where Apollo recalls the tale of Hemithea and Molpadia, and he adds that if it was Hermes in his place, he would have just laughed and not done anything to save the girls. So if you want to write something more balanced, you could let his apathetic side peek in between his charming, cheerful nature. You can show that the consequences of his actions are not always fun and lighthearted, but can also be cruel, capable of truly hurting someone. Good luck!

#asks #anon #Hermes #my interpretation is probably very unpopular #both in the modern adaptations and in the community too lol #but I find Hermes' charm in exactly this side of his #like sure he can help you #but if it is more fun torturing you he'll just do that #I also like how he's a scheming lil bastard in Athena complex #and tbh even in lxre olympu$ he does something fucked up #but it's brushed off as nothing because he was complacent with the MC when doing that #that plotline has much potential to make Hermes actually interesting #but oh well

Today I was thinking about how out of all the 118 men, Buck is the only one we’ve never seen punch/fight anyone despite him being the tallest and biggest out of them…

#911 fox #Evan buck Buckley #something something about him not fighting BECAUSE he is well aware of his size and strength #but something something too about other people picking fights with him or punching him because he seems like the biggest threat #yes I’m thinking this about the call that might get out of control tomorrow with the body builders #but also the angst potential of someone singling him out but buck not fighting back #but also the delicious potential of buck ACTUALLY fighting someone and it turns out he’s a fucking beast (but he hates it) #Buck fight someone to protect your family challenge #last side note but even out of all the mains only Hen & Karen haven’t fought ppl either #because Athena is well Athena and Maddie fought to the death against Dough

[vulpixhoney]

why does Rick Riordan hate the original myths so bad 💀

the Asphodel stuff?? regret? where is that coming from? you fully just made that shit up? out of his ass fr. the fields of Asphodel are specifically an area of neutrality, where the pretty much all mortals go when they die. it's for anyone who lived a normal life, who isn't a hero or a literal monster. it's specifically a neutral zone for people to exist once they die, it has nothing to do with ~your regrets in life~. it's like, a peaceful field of flowers where all your life's troubles are left behind on the surface.

the closest things to that is the fields of mourning/sorrow, but that's specifically for unrequited romantic love and also not called the fields of Asphodel (and also I'd bet money that rr doesn't know what that is) (and also only in Virgil's The Aeneid and not the Odyssey with the rest of what we know of the underworld)

#the fields of Asphodel are so so personal to me as someone who practices helpol too #like thats such a stupid and nonsensical change #just straight up fibbing for fun #and for what? a half baked poorly writted one off scene?? #like he really just hates the myths huh #this and how he depicts a lot of the gods (namely ares Aphrodite and athena) #snd HERA #GODS #i forgot about that originally he fucking SLANDERS hera #for no reason #hes is such a MAN he cannot write a well wrotted female character for the life of him goodness gracious #and Persephone too!! with how she treats nico #“he would not fucking say that” but its me to about how rr depicits the gods #and mostly the female ones too #he writes all of them terribly but its noticable how he is nice to the “misunderstood men” like Hephaestus and Hades #but then slanders the women #and what he said about Aphrodite when asked where she was in tlo!! “oh she was probably busy doing her makeup hahaha” #ill kill you. like what the fuck?? #this got horribly off topic oops oops #percy jackson #percy jackon and the olympians #pjo tv show

There's something really fascinating about how Athena treats Diomedes so differently from how treats Penelope and Odysseus (even Telemachus but that's a lil different too)

Athena has basically known Diomedes since he was born (some even say that she had a say in naming him) because of Tydeus. I don't think it's far-fetched to say that in a way, she possibly "molded" him. And Diomedes is kind of known for being the "perfect warrior king". He's respectful of the gods and most of his comrades, an incredibly skilled soldier, and has already achieved so many things despite being one of the youngest kings in the war.

I sadly think that's why Athena treats him so differently than Odysseus, Penelope, and Telemachus.

She cares for him, but it's still "distant" in a way. Or almost in an "I molded you. You will react the way I would want you to therefore I will not be surprised."

When it seems like she's known her other favored mortals for less long, she didn't get to "mold" them. They surprise and bring something "new" for her. She sees her little tricksters' scheme and plot and watches with intrigue but watching the perfect warrior is a "Yes, perfect form. That's what I'd do."

I mean even how her favored mortals pray to her tells you a lot about the relationships they have.

For example, in the Iliad, Odysseus doesn't need to really give as much reverence to her to "earn her favor" during book 10's Night Raid.

Odysseus rejoiced, and prayed to Pallas Athene: ‘Hear me, daughter of aegis-bearing Zeus, you who are with me in all my adventures, protecting me wherever I go. Show me your love, Athene, now, more than ever, and grant we return to the ships having won renown, with some brave act that will grieve the Trojans greatly.’ And Diomedes of the loud war-cry followed him in prayer: ‘Hear me also, Atrytone, daughter of Zeus. Be with me as you were with my father Tydeus in Thebes, when he went there as ambassador for the bronze-greaved Achaeans, camped there by the Asopus. A friendly offer was what he made them, but on his way back he was forced to take deadly reprisal for their ambush, and you fair goddess, readily stood by him. Stand by me now, and watch over me, and in return I will offer a broad-browed yearling heifer, unused to the yoke. I will tip her horns with gold and sacrifice her to you.’

(Book 10, A.S. Kline)

Diomedes brings up his dad and offers a young heifer (granted that could just be how Diomedes is with every immortal) while Odysseus doesn't and is basically like "Yo, help me out like you always do!". Odysseus is much more casual and personal with Athena. And with Penelope, Athena takes the form of one of her sisters to comfort her!

While Athena also most likely has known Telemachus since he was a baby, she's still closer to him than Diomedes.

Imagine that. You're basically molded by a goddess since birth, listen to her and other immortals dutifully, basically become her perfect warrior, and yet you can't seem to reach that familiarity with her. The same warmth she has for her other favored mortals.

#idk I'm eepy and this came to me and I felt bad for Diomedes. #Athena has a extreme soft spot for her tricksters. #Penelope is favored by Athena as well. I will fight you on that. (she should be favored by everyone in general but you know) #I wrote this very quick :P you get the idea #I've been working on my fic a lot so I haven't been making many analysis' so I'm sorry for that :'D #diomedes #iliad #the iliad #this probably means nothing but I wanted to talk abou tit #shot by odysseus #athena #When you're still Athena's Blorbo but not the most blorbo😞 #Mad rambles #tagamemnon #greek mythology #fuck it.

Sometimes a joke is for you and you alone

#ace attorney #miles edgeworth #phoenix wright #athena cykes #Kristoph gavin #maya fey #what matters is that i think im funny #things to note. er trying to get outfit refs from grainy still images of low buget 80 television shows in very difficult #especially when they're in all black. #i think the valeyard actually wears panta but its unclear and that seems stupid so he has proper robes here #i got half the masters outfit ref from a fucking action figure because the in show images were rough #kristoph gets to be the master over miles because the valeyard needs to be a procecutor and master x doctor is way more toxic than nmts #and i am saying that about like my two otps #krisnix has like a more similar mortal enemies but gay about it dynamic but i think theyre way more toxic #which is funny because Kristoph has done comparatively way less murder #mel was going to be ema or trucy but thinking about it athena fits her way to well. red headed fitness buff that the fans hate #also tracing Phoenix outfit to make it the 6's easy as hell. loved that. putting the pattening on? actual hell #it may be messy at points but im not cleaning it up for something with a venn diagram of interest with only me in the centre #i always get scared to tag stuff as classic who because like theres so much history and i feel like a fake fan. #posting cringe in the AA tags is so unscary to me now. its just my little encosure #6th doctor #classic who #fan art #colin baker #oh in case the joke goes over anyones heads the outfits are from the dw season thats a courtroom drama. its not well liked #also lets not think about the metaphysical consequences of miles being the valeyard. hes just the main prosecutor #and also i wanted to dress my blorbo in the stupidest outfit #this was fun thoigh. maybe ill do this for other dw characters and aa ones just without any pretense or context #just for fun

[dl6incident]

he was subjected to the opinions of ace attorney fans online

#i think these people are just being contrarian for the sake of it #because there is no way a single person on planet earth genuinely thinks that clay was the best apollo backstory #“capcom didn't know what to do with him after 4” well they very easily could have not made him the main fucking character for an additional #2 games #“by the end he was nothing but an empty shell” that is because his story was over. like phoenix's. but capcom brought them both back. #there should have only been 5 games and dd should have been athena's

[sleep-y-bones]

I'm constantly teetering between "I like dual destinies; some new characters I enjoy, I don't mind the evil apollo arc, the apollo backstory only feels a little forced (in comparison to soj), athena and simon's backstory was good imo, and I don't mind the talk of legal system corruption stuff because that was also in previous games"

and

"I hate dual destinies; the 2D to 3D models don't look very good, we don't even get a flashback scene or anything to really show apollo's connection to clay (a "telling more than showing" issue that I also have with them saying "the dark age of the law"), they barely acknowledge the previous game, the ending was extremely underwhelming, and the culprit in the bonus case is a straight up racial stereotype"

#don't even get me fucking STARTED on soj!! #no true apollo justice trilogy or sequel. no ''athena cykes ace attorney''. sad! oh well. I can just make my own canon in my brain past aa4 #bug op #ace attorney
