Reblog To Give Your Mutuals A BLÅHAJ

thinking about how percy was SEETHING with anger as soon as ares mentioned his mom. and later luke was INSTANTLY angry and attacked percy when he mentioned his dad. both are angry when their parents are mentioned but for such different reasons… and how that is the crux of their characters… percy fights because of his loved ones, in defense of them, to protect them. he lets his anger fuel him to do good, to try and make the world a better place. luke fights because of his anger and resentment towards the gods, even if his choices will hurt his loved ones. he lets his anger fuel him to go down the wrong path, lets it take over and leave rational thinking behind. yeah

I cannot understate how clever and beautiful Penelope's response to wyfilwma is. In the original myth, Penelope literally isn't sure if the man before her is truly her husband, so she asks him to move a bed that is impossible to move. A fact about their relationship that only he could know. When he gets absolutely flabbergasted over this request, it's proof that it IS him.

In Epic there is only one change. Instead of Penelope being unsure, Odysseus is unsure of himself and feels like he would be unrecognizable to his wife. He keeps telling her over and over again, I am not the man you knew, and it's almost as though he's trying to convince himself, too. Like since he crossed every line he's killed all the gentleness in him, and he has to force himself to accept it. Penelope knows better, Penelope knows him. Instead of using their wedding bed as a way to prove it to herself, she proves it to him instead.

"See that wedding bed? Could you carry it over?

Lift it high on your shoulders and take it far away from here"

Shes talking about their bed but she is also talking about their love, their history, everything that makes up their marriage. Its like shes asking him, if you truly are someone else- here's everything that we used to be, everything that we built together, throw it out. You're not the same, right? Then surely you can detach yourself from it all.

But he cant. he cant he cant he cant and she knows that. The shock and the outrage and the pain of being asked to do such a thing hits him with a full force and he talks of how he made the bed, what its meant to them, why he couldnt possibly move it away.

"Do you realize what you have asked me?

The only way to move it is to cut it from its roots"

To cut it from the roots would be to sever their love entirely, it cant exist without what came before and what came before was the two of them. He fears thats what she wants, a completely uproot of their life together. But the fact that he fears it, truly deeply cares like a sentimental bastard, the fact that he could never not be the man who loves her is what she's been trying to show him all along.

"Only my husband knew that

So I guess that makes him you"

like my GOD. THIS LINE. He cannot be anything but her love because he is the only man who knows what they are to each other. She says it and that is final. Moving it is impossible because seperating the man he used to be from the man he is is impossible too. They are one in the same.

"I will fall in love with you over and over again

I don't care how, where, or when

No matter how long it's been, you're mine

Don't tell me you're not the same person

You're always my husband and I've been waiting, waiting"

She is not loving him by ignoring the trail of bodies in his wake and her love does not change the carnage-- in fact she is the reason for it, she knows this and she doesnt care. This is her husband now and always. And as long as bloodied hands will still hold her weaving ones he is the same exact man she's been waiting for.

It is such a beautiful message to leave your audience with. It is so perfect for Penelope as a character and the emotional weight this song has elevated my understanding of the odyssey and their relationship. Twenty years is so long, everything has changed, we have done unforgivable things to get home to each other-- because our home is each other. You are sharp and cruel and I am cunning and so so angry and we are both so tired but guess fucking what, I love you. No matter how long its been, youre mine.

reblog if the first musical you listened to was not Hamilton

reblog this if you're okay with booping spams please !!

Reblog if you think a woman can be complete without children

Y’ALL HAVE TIME TO REBLOG THIS. IT TAKES LESS THAN FIVE SECONDS.

WHERE? trend with chb

“she uses you as bait in capture the flag!” percy: WHERE?!

“he’s emo!” will: WHERE?!

“they’re mean to you!” / “they have light hair!” leo: WHERE?!

“she—” piper: WHERE?!

“he went insane in the labyrinth!” / “she betrayed camp!” clarisse: WHERE?!

seen a lot of these with your favorites, but reblog with the CURRENT book you are reading, show you are streaming, the last movie you watched, and any game/puzzle/crafts you’re working on 

Also I'm seeing a lot of "oooooo dark choco is gonna sacrifice himself for dark cacao or get hurt"

Consider:

Dark Cacao sacrificing himself for Dark Choco, because he's realised that resolution doesn't die with him. Dark Choco taking up the grapejam chocoblade in his father's stead, and cacao gets that whole "awakened form" (it better be a magical girl moment I swear) by learning the true meaning of resolution and its role against apathy.

Literally giving enchantix.

portia is a stretch because they're all gay but what can you do. the rest is fitting...........
