Me feeling like I'm just being lazy and wasting my time:
Sitting all day.
Listening to music at every waking hour.
Getting high.
Watching videos.
Talking online.
Eating copious amounts of pasta.
Drinking sugary beverages. Taking an ungodly amount of baths.
Not bothering to get dressed afterward and sleeping in my towel.
Sleeping for several hours longer than I 'should'. "I need to stop"
Hermes taking care of me/us/the body:
Resting (sitting).
Listening to music.
Getting high.
Watching funny videos.
Talking to friends.
Eating available food (pasta).
Drinking happy drinks (honey and coffee).
Taking even more baths.
Staying in bed even longer than we're asleep so we can love our cat. "It's okay, darling, live in the moment! Enjoy yourself! We have all the time in the world, be at rest"
need people to stop "uwu baby boy"-ing Polites
that man killed people
fictive culture is "am i Headcanoning things or are these Memories?"

Epic if Odysseus had kept the braincell he had in the trojan war
Old art
! not tsoa, hades game, or anything other than Homer's Iliad and my imagination.
If I see one more person say "sirens aren't like that in the Greek mythology" I'm going to explode.
POLITES DIDN'T DIE IN THE CYCLOPS CAVE
ZEUS DIDN'T GAVE ODYSSEUS A CHOICE AS TO WHETHER HE OR HIS CREW DIED.
ODYSSEUS DID NOT LEAVE CIRCE'S ISLAND ALIVE BY CRYING ABOUT HIS WIFE AND HOW MUCH HE MISSES HER.
POSEIDON WAS NOT AFRAID OF SCYLLA.
AND ODYSSEUS DID NOT READ THE LIPS OF THE SIREN.
Epic is not 100% faithful to The Odyssey, there are events that even happen out of order and Jay has said so. So don't come to me with "that's not how it is in the book" for a detail, it's like they heard that piece of information somewhere and didn't release it
(I'm angry with those who criticize the animators)
"come play with me and our daughter---!" "DAUGHTER???? i mean... thats cool i just didnt know, you know?"
This is about Thersites by the way.
Everyone else mentioned in the pre-story character list had their rank and important relations listed, but Thersites was none so lucky.
Agamemnon, son of Atreus; king of Argos and Mycenae; leader of the host.
β¦
Achilles, son of Peleus and the sea nymph Thetis, grandson of Aeacus, son of Zeus; chief of the Myrmidons from Phthia and Hellas.
β¦
Odysseus (Ulysses), son of Laertes and husband of Penelope; king of Ithaca and leader of the Cephallenians.
β¦
Diomedes, son of Tydeus and grandson of Oeneus; king of Middle Argos, Tiryns and Aegina.
β¦
Patroclus, son of Menoetius; comrade and squire of Achilles.
β¦
Thersites, ugliest of the Greek soldiers; an endless talker.
My guy. My man. Sirs. He's just a guy. He's poor, he has scoliosis and he speaks out against Agamemnon, why must you be so cruel?
Has he no family? For all we know he was born of a rotting broken bone, who is this man's father? Why is he even mentioned here if all you can tell us is that he talks a lot and isn't pretty?
He doesn't even talk that much! He talks a pretty normal amount for the always very long speeches that every single soldier gives. It's wordy, but everyone is wordy, he isn't special. He isn't rambling, he's just speaking 'out of place'.
Not to mention that once you get to him in the actual story, Odysseus beats and belittles him publicly. What the fuck, man, he's just a guy! A little guy! Be nice to him!
Intuspluric culture is constantly lovingly bullying your partner. I love him but I will also call him a coward because he's a coward <3

gray, fighting:
the person he's fighting: is he... in love with me? he must be... we are soulmates??? .......
imagine having 108 men living in your house, abusing your son, and making horribly gross comments to and about you
I truly believe the most romantic possible thing would be for your husband to kill them all
i saw this and felt the young prickcest energy
Funny idea I'm just going to jot down here for future musing.
What if, after having been a god for awhile, Diomedes decides he wants to be mortal again so he can die and join his friends in the underworld. He's granted this request and lives on earth as a mortal for a little while before dying a natural death. Upon which he immediately finds himself not in the underworld like he expected, but instead finds himself in a weird unknown place on fire next to a bewildered Odysseus.
Riordanverse fictive culture is, there's a Hermes^ in this system... he's from a different Greek mythology modern adaptation, he's not my dad, but I am definitely going to have very complicated feelings about him...
Also though why do we look and act so similar. I mean appearance wise he looks like a pretty commonly accepted idea (blond hair, blue eyes) and it's the idea that I look like, although he's more often depicted as a brunet (which is just confusing to us).
But behaviour? He formed before we read my source. He never got to read my source. He's the one who decided to read it but he was gone before we were able to get our hands on the series. And his source is... very different. He's canon-divergent yet he became a lot like me. Less evil but still very similar.
That isn't going to help things.

Source divergent fictive culture is having a really weird relationship with your source... I never stole anything. I never started a war. I have trauma but everything that isn't typical for demigods stopped when I was 15. I was saved. I mean, I was hurt. But then I was saved.
It's really weird feeling still a little guilty for things that I never did. People I never hurt. Pain I never caused. And it's really weird feeling bad for the guy who went through trauma I never did when he's technically me.
