The Line "Everything Changed Since Polites" Makes Me Think Polites Was Not Just Odysseus' Best Friend,

The line "Everything changed since Polites" makes me think Polites was not just Odysseus' best friend, but the heart of the crew.

Polites was the one who asked anyone who looked down how they were feeling. He was the one to give his portion of food and wine if it was scarce. He was the one to stick by the sick, the wounded and the dying during the war. He was the one everyone could vent to and receive complete understanding. He was the one who mourned every death, even if he didn't know the person very well.

Odysseus was not the only one to mourn him and his loss made a big difference.

some human au fluff

I love Poseidon's voice in Epic. He sounds furious and ecstatic at the same time. He sounds feral, which fits so much his whole character in mythology. Poseidon was the creator of horses, the storm bringer, the earth shaker. He was meant to represent the wild, dangerous side of the ocean and nature. This is the god that gets innocent men killed at sea four times a week minimum. So him sounding wild makes a lot of sense.

Also with how he says "Odysseus of Ithaca!" he sounds like a sports commenter. 10/10.

--"Replaced Miracle AU"--🐆✨🕯️

An Encanto au where Antonio is now the protagonist without a gift, Mirabel is the outcast who left casita at the age of 15, and after Alma's death, Pepa was the new matriarch, but things didn't go well after that.

Something something the first two sagas ending with Athena and then Odysseus gets into an argument with Athena so this saga ends with Posiedon, one of Athena's most well-known enemies

as much as the concept of Jesus being a fairly normal lad has its charms, im personally very intrigued by the idea of him being just… extremely weird. not even in a mystical sense, just…….staggeringly BIZZARRE. 

you go to the well to get some water, and here’s Miriam’s boy, staring at the sky, completely still. his expression is unreadable. you hazard a hello and ask how he’s doing, and he slowly, unblinkingly, lowers his gaze on you (he’s 8 and is missing his frontal teeth, not that this is making you any less uncomfortable) and says “I cannot speak of the state of my being, Nathan son of Saul, my brother, but rejoice for the water you shall take today will be as pure as the soul of the children of Heaven”

…you start sweating
