Its so sad when you see the covey's girls colours dissapearing. Lucy Gray was a whole rainbow, her skirt was colorful. Lenore Dove already a monochromatic dress, but with a colorful accesory in her hair. Katniss is already reduced to black, greys and darker colours. Whatever happend to the covey girls tradition of colors?
My take on our 4 favourite tributes <3 Lots of little mistakes, but they're so precious to me.
Close up on Maysilee's dress details because I love to imagine a cute little embroidery.
when lenore dove comes to me now, she’s not angry or dying (…). she’s grown older with me, her face etched with fine lines, her hair touched with gray. like she’s been living her life beside me as the years passed, instead of lying in her grave. still so rare and radiant.
prints + merch + commission info pinned to profile :)
Do you guys think Haymitch added Lou Lou and Woodbine Chance to Katniss' tribute memory book? Right next to Louella, Wyatt, Maysilee and himself.
As a theater kid, I can't help but love Plutarch 😭 He's like my stressed director of a play whose actors keep messing up lines 1 week before the 1st show.
Whenever someone reminds me of the "Hamlet got Ophelia pregnant" theory, an angel looses its wings.
It's the way Polonius might have been a horrible father, but Ophelia still went mad when he was killed. And Laertes still fought for his unjust death.
His body is just a bit weird, and I got lazy doing the HP logo....
I LOVE THIS WHAAAAT !!!!!!! TOTALLY WORTH THE WAIT. And after the Ithaca saga too? Way to break my heart (in the best way possible) Your writting and idea are both amazing, I loved this so much. Hope you had an amazing christmas! ^^
@that-greek-mythology-girl so sorry this took so long!!! I've been trying to write it for the past few days now but I could not for the life of me string words together. I hope you like it!!!<3
Penelopes’ POV
There are times over the years where Telemachus keeps to himself. It began when the first suitors arrived, Telemachus was only 10 at the time, and it was so strange to see her lively son go quiet at the sight of the suitors.
Of course Penelope had taken the young boy aside to ask if the suitors had done anything. However Telemachus was insistent that they had done no harm.
Even still, Penelope began having Telemachus keep near her during the day, and slowly he turned back into his old self. Every once in a while, Telemachus would go quiet once more, Penelope never knew the reasons, anytime she tried to bring it up Telemachus would change the subject immediately.
Penelope now thinks she should have been more forceful in the topic.
It was during her evening walk around the garden when she found her son watching the ocean from the balcony. Penelope stopped, about to call out to him when she noticed tears streaming down his face. Her heart leapt to her throat, why was he crying?
In a panic, Penelope ran inside, passing the confused and worried servants as she did, ignoring them as they called out to her.
Once she reached the balcony, Penelope took a breath, Telemachus had made no move to acknowledge her presence. “Are you okay?” She called out, the young man jumped, quickly wiping the tears from his eyes, he turned to her and gave a quick smile and a choked laugh.
“I didn’t see you there…” his voice tapered off at the end, knowing that it was time to tell what has been going through his mind.
Penelope sighed, stepping forward until she stood next to him. The mother son said nothing as they watched the sun set over the horizon, shrinking beneath the waves as another day passes by.
“You know…in those first few years I would come out to this balcony, and watch the sea every night.” Penelope closed her eyes, tears welling up in them, “I would stare for hours, sometimes all night, waiting for his ship to come home.” Penelope felt Telemachus’ hand find its’ way to her shoulder, leaving it there as they missed the man in their minds.
“What was he like?” Telemachus’ question caught her off guard.
In her entire life, Telemachus has been the only person to ask her that question. Penelope ached to her very bones because of it.
“Your father is a whirlwind of a man…” her breath came out shaky, her palms began to sweat. “He would enter a room, and you could do nothing but give him your attention. He did not command respect, but he was given it all the same.”
“He is as brave as he is kind…” Penelopes’ voice began to quiver at that. Telemachus wrapped his arms around her, the tears he so desperately tried to hide from her now falling free.
The two stood that way for a while, long enough for the sky to finish in its darkening. Penelope took in a deep breath, willing herself to be put together, enough at least for her son. Yet no matter how much she tried, the thought of her husband sent Penelope into a wave of tears.
Penelope moved away from Telemachus, enough for her to look him in the eyes. Gently, she reached up and rested her hand against his cheek, the young man leaned into his mothers touch.
“Oh Telemachus… you look more like him everyday.”
IN HONOR OF THE ITHACA SAGA!! (Which I cried heavily to) The family is in height order, as per usual
Got the idea from a random ahh Targtower fanart I saw on a similar concept
MY LITTLE EPIC SECRET SANTA GIFT FOR @elderitchblayst!
ITS BARBIE ODYPEN
I really just got that idea from your pfp and some very old tumblr posts, BUT I THINK MY IDEA CAME TRUE QUITE NICELY.
I see and I know its a bit basic and low quality, but I've been quite sick this past week and Im scared it gets worse and then I just cant do it later, so better to hand it to you now.
As a sorry, I also drew Alan Polites:
AS A BONUS
MERRY CHRISTMAS, GET LOADS OF PRESENT AND A HAPPY NEW YEAR! (And a happy Ithaca Saga huh)
SIMPLY LOVELY! Wasn't it?
THE REDBULL LEGACY IS UNMATCHED.
Inspired by my life, and @verstqpen's post
Im that one meme that goes "4 times WDC Max Verstapprn save me....4 times WDC Max Verstappen..... save me 4 timed WDC Max verstappen" (I'LL EDIT THAT THE SECOND I GET HOME)
only max verstappen four-time world champion could save me
For anyone that cares, I'm fucking obsessed with Formula one as well, specially the Red Bull Legacy
Your honor, literal legends and pookies.
Some people are being assholes about 600 strike about the fact Ody only tries now to stab Poseidon
I want to mention the fact this is based off of games. Poseidon is that one boss you fight the first time and its a guaranteed death/cutscene. You fight him later on in the game and you body his ass when you get close and he's wasted his moves.
Not sure why you're telling me this,I FEEL HONOURED!!, WELL YEAH Jorge never said he was making a direct musical about the Odyssey itself, he has always been saying his big inspo is anime and video games, I dont know why only now people are surprised.
I mean, we've seen God Games, we've seen Little Wolf, so why now are people being such nerds. (Coming from a person who literally stopped watching Bridgerton when they ruined Francesca's book story).
If from the beggining Jorge made his intentions clear, and hasn't been loyal to the Odyssey from the start, why is it only now a problem?
ITS WHAT TENESSE WILLIAM WOULD HAVE WANTED!!
The challanges I had to face for these........ on the first two hours I acidentl fell asleep on the school bench (comically I have a photo) and then when I was doing this in english class the professor found out and took my phone with the references 😭
But yk, SCHOOL IS TEMPORARY, EURYMENE IS FOREVER!!!!!
Ask and you shall receive. EURYMENE AS FROGS
+When your second in command randomly turns into a frog.......
And yes I was the anon earlier ^^
*SCREAMS*
MY EYES HAVE BEEN BLESSED
I'm so glad I said frogs, never knew I needed to see Eurymene as frogs. You are a legend

*Odysseus after brutally stabbing a God 600 times.* Now did everyone see that? Because I will not be doing it again.
Do you ever think the reason the ghosts that haunt Odysseus only do so because, as per greek tradition, he didn't burn them so they could pass over to the next side, he never got the chance to offer each men a coin for Charon. His mother (in some myths) drowned in the sea, nobody could have burned her or given her the coin.
Maybe that's why the voice of the trojans he killed dont come back, those trojans were burned and buried by peers, maybe not all, but certainly most. Like Astyanax, after the burning someone might have given the privilege for him to be burned (Like it is the case in the book "The Silence of the girls")
So, the ghosts of the crew and his mother will haunt him forever, given he can never actually help his crewmen or mother pass for the underworld.
What if the Ithaca Saga, the end of "Would you fall in love with me" ended with Odysseus exhaling "I can relax, my friend" in the same note Polites ended open arms?
What would y'all do THEN?
(Changed a bit of the idea from mrs_superwholock92's tiktok video about the same concept :D)
*taps the mic* Greatsword Lore *leaves*
Based on something Jorge dropped in a stream once
Odysseus "You were abusive to me, you forced me to do things with you and kept me captive even though you knew I had a wife I longed for very much." Calypso:
Not Sorry For Loving You begins playing.
In 600 strikes, Odysseus sings "For every comrade Every one of my friends Almost all of whom were slaughtered by your hand"
In the melody of "Legendary"
"Somebody help me Come and give me the strength Can I do whatever it take to keep my mom safe?"
Something about that makes me...........sad.
I can't wait for the full pieces of art the fandom will produce in under a minute, because somehow we manage to be faster than Jorge in that aspect.
Mark my words
TOMOROW I'll see an animatic
What a sudden burst of adrenaline at 5am after a saga and many opinions does to a blog:
Help I am going insane, I cant fall asleep.
My live reaction to "Not Sorry for Loving you":
The whole ending of 600 strikes???
