OK, This Is Literally Who I Imagined Octavian

OK, this is literally who I imagined Octavian

my favorite dumb thing that I know is that the term dog-face in the Iliad/Odyssey doesn't mean bitch. what it actually means is closer to slut

[dog-face is not an inherently sexual term, but it can be, Helen uses it that way. it just means someone who lets their base appetites control them, e.g. hunger, greed, lust, etc]

which means, in the opening pages of the Iliad, by the prompting of the goddess Athena, Achilles calls his commanding officer a slut not only to his face but in front of Everyone Else in the council of kings

IM NOT CRYING YOU ARE😭😭😭

i have this headcanon that percy constantly says annabeth look! any time he wants to show her something. be it a funny-looking sea shell, him balancing a spoon on his nose, or him doing a handstand. and annabeth finds it's so adorable when he shows her something so silly. so she thinks nothing of it when she hears annabeth look! from behind her on their date night. only to tear up when she turns and sees him kneeling on one knee, holding out a ring.

I hate myself for this
