At least I warned you about the dragons. Hagrid warned me about the dragons.
does mary even REALIZE what she does to people I mean
I'm reading kakegurui twin and,,, she's so charming. she's haughty and difficult to approach (the mandatory tsundere) so at first glance it's hard to tell that she's actually a prince, really. like a knight in shining armor, mary's brave and loyal to her morals, she puts honor first. and most importantly, she is her own person, she's strong and independent. people are drawn to that.
tsuzura admired mary when they were young because even then she could see mary was especial. mary is special, in a simple way: she never lets anyone tell her what to do, she knows who she is and after seeing how unfair the world is she said "fuck that, I can work hard".
she can't fix the world, but she has learned how to survive in it. she's solid, determined and strong. she also can't stand to see people not being themselves. she can't leave them alone, especially when she likes them or feels they're a good person. she wants to encourage them to be strong and reclaim who they are. like with tsuzura and ririka, who I like to believe are her weak points.
mary has a long story with the whole house pets system. from hating it at first sight to (idk I haven't read that far yet) suddenly being The Mary Who Has Control Over A Lot Of House Pets in beginning of the story.
(damn, what a contrast from how she used to be in Kakegurui Twin, she somehow ended up as the type of person she hated most - I guess she thought that was the only way to survive).
then she became a house pet and soso
I think she realized who she became, and how far that was from person she used to be.
she regained her wish to be at the top, to be president.
and that's so damn attractive, you naturally want to follow her.
I feel like other people can tell she's special. tsuzura did, yumeko did, idk why kirari invited her to the be part of the student council but she must have seen it too. ririka definitely wasn't ready and I'm pretty sure she's smitten now, mary literally tore the mask from her.
I just have so many feelings!! mary is so special!!!
I was thinking about that Odysseus gray hair headcanon of yours (which i btw love and painfully sob about) and consider:
Penelope seeing him cry in bed, having the realization that when he's lying on his back while crying his tears follow the exact patch of his gray hair. Penelope being out for blood because of that.
Actually, he hates lying on his back after everything... It's something he cannot do anymore. He lies on his side most of the time. Or lies on top of Penelope. (His "favorite bed is made of bone." 😂 As the Water Wife is smaller so when he rests his head on her chest, he's basically right on her sternum. She's fairly flat. She gets SOME squish as she gets older and after pregnancy ofc 😌)
Having a weight on top of him is very upsetting. He usually flips them over or moves. He can no longer be the little spoon either. Penelope cannot lie on his chest. It's just something that has...changed :')
One thing she notices, is that he has 4 little cresent moon shaped scars on his triceps. (some faded ones on his palms too). Then she sees him crossing his arms and realizes they're from him digging his fingernails into himself. Something he used to do while crying on the beaches. The ones on his palms are from the times he was on his back in the cave.
Something that will eventually kind of come into play, is that for Helen, Paris and Deiphobus are dead. She can always be reassured they won't come to get her. For Odysseus, they're GODDESSES...Immortal and can't be 'punished' (nor should they considering they're immortals). Odysseus kind of lives with this fear deep down that they'll somehow come back into his life. They don't. Because THEY DON'T. But he can't shake that fear.
It reassures him that Penelope looks and feels so different. Penelope's smaller, she's fairly cold to the touch, he knows her birthmarks and scars, etc. Calypso was an Oceanaid while Penelope is a Naiad. He hates saltwater for many reasons. Circe felt too hot and felt like burning despite taking Penelope's appearance. Penelope's so cold. etc. Penelope is RIGHT.
Unedited Unfinished snippet of a random wip. Context: He had a bad nightmare.
Shaking with a blank, tear-stained face, Odysseus sat looking away from her. His nails dug into his biceps, the four crescent moon scars proving how often he did this while away. On his palms as well. The tapestry that he tore off the wall (the rod being what broke. Not her own craftsmanship, of course) wrapped around his waist and back. Protecting himself…
Penelope is soooo protective of him though. For example, once while talking with Penelope and Telemachus, Telemachus brings up Calypso (he knows from Menelaus) and asks his dad how he escaped her and how 'dangerous' she was. Was she like Scylla? Odysseus freezes. He doesn't want his son to know of such things. Stuff like that.
Penelope swoops in with distractions and a way for him to sneak away if he needs or to just shove his face under her neck to hide it for a bit. Water Wife is able to get rid of any tears shed so he can look "fine" and keep up appearances.
Odysseus hid his face in her throat, his hands clutching her waist close to him on their shared throne. Another tear spilled out from where it rested upon his lid only to be immediately pulled away. Penelope casually flicked it to the side. Cold hands cupped his face as she pressed a soft kiss to his forehead. "We can sneak out if you need-" "No." He pulled her closer. He swallowed and steadied his breathing. Vision too blurred to look at the dancers anyway. He had a prettier sight beside him. "I already made a scene." Penelope started to say something before stopping and took a deep breath. "Whatever you need, my Joy." "You," he rasped. "Just you."
I wrote this very quickly just to kind of give the vibes I guess. I also have a headcanon that after Odysseus made their bed, he made a throne bench because these two freaks were constantly squirming and were leaning over so much that it got annoying. It also felt very empty for 20 years :') )
People talk about him. About his episodes of PTSD and his lashing out. And she shuts them down. "He's not mad. He's been through all pains. I'd like to see you do well after going through what he's gone through."
She's out for blood on people who question or mock him. Don't talk about her Joy that way. You don't know anything.
Huuuuuuuuuuuuuuu!!!
