“Help I realized I’m in love with my best friend!” says the person who sees their friend as their matching half, genuinely not understanding how they got through life without the other person and who would spend every moment with them given the chance
Do you think about me when I think about you?
There’s something terribly poetic in the inevitability of events in EPIC. The choices Odysseus is given lead to no win situations. They aren’t really choices at all.
Kill a foe’s child or witness the death of your own. Sacrifice six men or sacrifice them all. Allow your crew to starve or watch as they slaughter sacred cattle.
Sacrifice your friends, your brothers, or give up your last chance at reaching home.
In the end, the result is always the same. He destroys himself

I love them so much😭💕
Being friends — not just colleagues — with Bruce Wayne, as a reporter, must be a fucking nightmare. Everything Clark knows about him is off the record. Clark has unique insight into world events, WE business, and Gotham politics, and he can’t use ANY of it.
Lois asks him casually about [large unfolding global event/Gotham kidnapping/etc] and Clark’s jaw snaps shut so quickly, it jolts everything in the apartment. They have a code phrase, and eventually a code look, for I know this but I can’t tell you how and please don’t ask me about it ever again.
She makes the mistake, one day, of asking him about Jason Todd’s death. Clark’s eyes spark red before he closes them, jaw clenched tight enough to form diamonds. And Lois’ job is to try, very very hard, not to follow down the burgeoning mental connection between Jason Todd and I can’t tell you about this.
only you
He was as tall as he was tall, and his eyes were the color they were. To describe his hair one would say that he had some. His face had all the features you'd expect, and none of the ones you wouldn't. "There he is," people would often say of him, but only when he was there. And they were right.
me when a character suffers at the hands of a system, so they become a teacher and parental figure in order to protect the next generation from experiencing the same horrors, but ultimately are unable to protect their kids from the inherent suffering of their chosen path
ok but the way Odysseus falls into each of the main Olympian’s domains?
Zeus (God King): King of Ithaca
Hera (Goddess of Marriage): c’mon, Odysseus is THE Wife Guy
Athena: Warriors of the Mind/her chosen champion
Ares: courage and valor needed for success in war; additionally after his transition into The Monster, he becomes brutal and arguably lost in bloodlust when dealing with the sirens/suitors/POSEIDON
Apollo/Artemis: Archery
Aphrodite: man is motivated only by love
Hephaestus: Odysseus built his own damn raft to leave Ogygia/built his palace
Demeter (who also has domain over marriage): see Hera
Poseidon (Sea God): Sailor/Captain (also ruthlessness, eventually)
Hades: "600 men who died under your command"; sailed through the Underworld
Hestia (Goddess of the Hearth): Man who wants nothing more than to get home
Hermes (God of Travelers): man’s been traveling for 10 years; also Odysseus is his great grandson
not to mention their actual interactions
I'm just saying
