So since @aaronofithaca05 had asked me about my new tattoo that started one of my favorite headcannons of Odysseus getting a tattoo at war here it is! Done during a small trip I had by the talented artist:

It is symbol of my homeland, Greece and a promise of me going back there one day one way or another (since I currently live in Sweden). It was inspired by frescoes found in Greece especially in Crete and Santorini

Dolphin: The national animal of Greece and always mentioned as a protective talisman for sailors to a country surrounded by sea. The dolphin comes from the ancient Greek word that means "womb" and was meant to show how Greeks believed that they are mammals. The word Dolphin also sounds similar to the word that means "brother" "sister" or "sibling" in Greek.

The dolphin was an animal linked to many gods and goddesses of Greek mythology with some of the major ones being Poseidon (the dolphin revealed to him the hiding place of his future wife Amphitrite and often seen pulling his chariot), Dionysus (Dionysus transformed the drowning pirates to dolphins) and of course Apollo (linked to the myth of Delphi -giving the name to it- and the rescue of the musician and poet Arion)

Dolphins have been a symbol of freedom, intelligence, playfulness and sexuality by many researchers. It is an animal known to protect the sailors in the long voyages at sea. Their social behavior has also linked them with humans (thus the name "dolphin" also linked to the word "sibling")

To me it is a symbol of greece and my culture in general linked to my language, my land and my family.

Swallow: A little bird linked a lot with spring in Greece for they come to Greece after winter to make their nests and have their babies before flying back to Africa for the winter. A swallow is a beloved bird in Greece and symbol of Greek presidency.

In mythology the swallow was also linked to some gods and goddesses particularly Aphrodite but also Athena (Athena transforms into a swallow and flies away from Telemachus in the Odyssey). Also in the Odyssey it is mentioned that the chord of Odysseus's bow "sang like a swallow" when he used it to kill the suitors symbolizing his homecoming.

Swallow have always been linked to journeys specially to homecoming since they always come back during their migration trips. Their speed and ability when they fly is also linked to their capability of achieving such a dangerous trip despite their size.

To me it is a promise of returning home to my land one way or another and is also linked to my favorite books Iliad and Odyssey that make me feel proud that literature from my land has reached so far in people's hearts 💕

They are also moving in a never ending circle with each other hahaha also unconsciously a symbol of Poseidon vs Athena?! 🤣 dunno maybe hehehehe

It's so good and also works quite well in the context, make a parent a divinity or minor one and you have everything unfoulding naturally, the bad thing is divine power was thought to dilute over time, read Plato's Atlantis and you'll know why. Overall I enjoy every second of this fic and I too also becoming obssesed with baby seal Menelaus!.

Babe, listen

Your fic isn’t a flop, it’s a cult classic. Only the coolest freaks like it, don’t worry about it, it’s great.

Okay, this is beautiful @iroissleepdeprived !!

Desk lamp light flickers, a bitter scent of coffee is all over the room.

Person looks at the time in the right bottom corner of the computer, it's past midnight. They sip the last bit of coffee left in the mug and decide to turn off the device, feeling uneasy for having written so little that night.

Shortly after, Person's face lights up when they get hit with a gorgeous idea to write, yet their hopes die when they turn around and see nothing but a blueish screen with white letters that read "powering off".

They fall flat onto the bed mattress; it has happened again.

@dootznbootz wife is an absolute banger! It' so cool!!!!

Babe, listen

Your fic isn’t a flop, it’s a cult classic. Only the coolest freaks like it, don’t worry about it, it’s great.

A little game idea

I always liked those tag games on Tumblr, so I decided to do my own !

The rules

Think of your OTP, or one of them.

Post two out of context images that give a hint on who they are

Tag at least one account

And the next player does the same. They can also try to guess which couple the previous one showed. But it's not a requirement.

Anyone can play, even if they're not tagged :)

The game is naturally easier for mutuals and followers, but I think it can be fun.

The OTP can be any couple, from any source (just precise if they're real or fictional) and any sexuality is of course welcome.

I'll go first :

(fictional)
