This Post Is An Outlier From The Usual Mythos Tangents

Learning how to draw Odysseus is a very small but wild ride, as I get overly excited when I actually figure out a part of his design such as his beard or his eyes. Something clicks in my brain where it’s like “I DREW AN EYE. HES APPEARING.”

And it’s just a small dopamine rush but it’s nice.

When I can easily draw this man I will become an unstoppable force of nature. Good evening.

Tomorrow, Odysseus will be home.

Late night post: does anyone actually have recommendations on how to draw men? They seem to elude me which is kind of awful. It doesn’t help that I also want to draw Odysseus more.

FR I was so scared that Jorge was only going to include Scylla, so I was so happy when he revealed his reference gadget for Charybdis. We love our chittering, whale calling, whirlpool with teeth and her song SLAPS.

Not seeing enough appreciation for Charybdis as a song actually

Am I going crazy or does thw beginning of Odysseus’ part in 600 strike sound a bit like the beginning of Athena’s verse in Little Wolf?

Like… “I don’t think you seem to get it” sounds similar to “I’ve no respect for bullies”…

Who knows I guess.

Mates, Luke is troubleshooting on Twitch, and apparently Teagan is on TikTok. It’s most definitely an internet issue since Luke is crunchy and frozen as I’m watching. Everyone please play nice, ever so kindly.

In ZA, I need us to fight alongside emmet to get Ingo back and grant a wish, but it’s a race against time against Volo who wants to hard reset the world or meet god. How is he in future France? Idk he mentioned how he’d spend centuries trying to find arceus so I’m gonna go with that. I can dream.

The Iliad is a wonderful epic filled with super cool fight scenes, stealth missions, and gut wrenching sadness, but there’s this one moment that lives in my head rent free for absolutely no reason aside from slight amusement.

Not sure which book(chapter) it is, but there is a scene in which Achilles has completed his mourning over Patroclus, and if I’m not mistaken, Achilles was there for twelve days and did not eat or drink anything. Trust me this is important.

Achilles goes and he tells his mates (Ody, Menelaus, etc) that he’s gonna go out and absolutely rip Hector a new one.

Before he goes out though, Odysseus stops him and I kid you not, for at minimum half a page, our boy Odysseus goes on a whole MONOLOGUE about how important breakfast is, and how Achilles needs to at least have some meat and wine before he tears through the Trojan army and turns Hector into his personal ragdoll.

And if I’m not mistaken, Odysseus actually gets Achilles to eat before he leaves. What a guy, getting Achilles to listen to him.

Now go eat breakfast like Homer intended, dear readers. If the great, swift footed Achilles needs to eat breakfast, so do you.

CLEARING MY SCHEDULE FOR DECEMBER 6TH
