She's still getting used to being an aunt

bring back homeric epithets. call people brave-hearted, swift-footed, laughter loving and loud thundering. view the world with its rosy fingered and saffron robed dawns, its wine dark seas. make your own, walk across kiln fired earth and moss soft as sea sponges. be dew-eyed and soft-cheeked and silver-souled, deft-fingered and bright-tongued. gaze up at the many-storied stars and feel the warmth of the ancient sun, father of gods and men, as it beats down on the shimmering world, soft spun like caterpillar silk

Penelope, Diomedes, and Odysseus design sketches but you can tell I have a favourite (Penelope)

Just getting something down so I can have a good reference for the future when I draw them together again

Modern AU! in which Dante overworks himself in a publish company until he gets an special work assignment that allows him to work with his favourite author. While admiration turns into something he cannot describe, Dante starts to realise how he had given up on everything he had ever longed for.

(I promise this is more serious than this sumary, I’m terrible at them)

I haven’t posted anything in this account for so long my mutuals from years ago are going to be so confused. But obsessing over the divine comedy wasn’t originally on my 2024 summer bingo card, and this came out of nowhere.

Just wanted to say that I’m writing a Dante x Virgil modernAU! fic with lots of feels and homosexuality, so check it out if it sounds like your cup of tea!!

And I want to honour the divine comedy fandom I’m been secretly observing this last months, I love you guys, you seem to cool, can I join.

snivels pathetically... i miss when spotify like song button was a heart.....

I've got 100 problems and 99 of them would be solved if javier milei wasn't the president of my country

tbh my favourite quality about Odysseus towards the end of the Odyssey is that he'll swear to be honest and immediately spit out two pages of nothing but lies about who he is and where he comes from and whose son he is and how he's suffered terribly to get where he is now

compare that to him giving polyphemus his full name, his postal address, his social security number, and his birth certificate in earlier chapters

that's what we call ✨personal growth✨

if i accidentally ran across Deliver Us on spotify and then subjected myself to listening to the soundtrack on repeat for five hours, i think it is only fair that you do too.

the particular grief of losing a piece of graffiti that was part of your everyday routes through the city. congratulations "anti-vandalism initiatives" you painted over my dear friend and neighbor

the way that storytelling in the odyssey loops in on itself… everyone in the odyssey wants to know the odyssey. telemachus leaves for sparta in order to hear it. odysseus sits with the phaeacians deep into the night telling it. and he withholds it from people he doesn’t trust, only to reveal himself and tell it again. the sirens and demodocus sing to him about the iliad. penelope tells ithaca's bard phemius to stop singing because he has no songs about odysseus returning; if he can’t sing the odyssey, he shouldn't sing at all

Please remember he can and likely will bite

It’s weird how everyone hating you when you’re nine years old still affects your self esteem when you’re 26 like yeah nobody came to my birthday party but that was like 17 years ago why is it stopping me from going to a gay bar

ahhhh so the guilt is NOT supposed to be neverending and haunting and constant and persisting beyond a doubt over even the most menial of things that i would not be upset at someone else for. i understand now.

The open plains can get lonely and the cold nights by the fire with your “partner” may just be the best company you’ve had in years… and maybe you lean in real close just to see what the whiskey you’ve been sipping tastes like off of their lips…

A message for Penelope’s suitors

gay people can't flirt normally it's always gotta be some shit like this

i just hope dykes like me. thats what its all about really

"average greek pisses off 3 gods and demigods a year" factoid is actually just statistical error. average greek pisses off 0 gods and demigods per year. Odysseus of Ithaca, who is just going home & making a mortal enemy of yet another olympian each day, is an outlier and should not have been counted

Odysseus said he was gonna become the monster to "everyone but us" but neglected to inform his crew that "us" had three members and the other two are in Ithica.

yeah she "pegged me", and by "pegged" haha well. let's just say...,sword through my chest
