I saw a lot of posts, where is implied that Apollo in God Games doesn't care about Odysseus and his situation at all. But what if it's other way around and Apollo just cares too much?
Mythologically Apollo and Hermes are friends. And looks like Hermes cares about his grandgrandson (Odysseus' grandfather is son of Hermes). Hermes was the only god who helped Odysseus even without being asked, just because Hermes wanted to help him.
I just imagine, that Hermes keeps an eye on Odysseus and constantly chatters to Apollo about him, calling him Ody. So thats why Apollo choose such a ridiculous reason as sirens, and uses "Ody" - he wants to help just because of his friendship with Hermes.
Athena in God games, basically
Same, fuck Paris! but not in that way, all of you, gods, keep away of him, don't protect him and don't... Involve intimately with him, let The Achaeans do their thing
I’m sick rn so might as well blame it on Paris of Troy
Is this hubris or sleep deprivation

"You're losing blood" no I know exactly where it is. The floor. Don't ever underestimate me.
Every time I read the Sherlock Holmes canon I’m actually stunned that people read this man as straight. It’s just so glaringly obvious to me that he’s SOME flavor of queer - how on earth could you read this man as cishet? And when my non Holmesian friend asked me to explain what textual evidence showed that he was queer, it occurred to me that besides all of the times he or Watson remarks on how he’s not into women, marriage doesn’t appeal to him, he’s never been in love, etc. (which honestly is pretty solid evidence on its own) most of the reasons I feel sure he’s gay is just his fuckin vibes.
He’s an absolute bitch, but in like a sassy gay cunt-serving way that I just can’t imagine a cishet man embodying. He’s a drama queen and knows it. He shows such disrespect towards the establishment and “polite society,” particularly the law, but shows endless kindness and respect towards all of the outcasts of society. To me, all of this paints a very clear picture of a queer person living in a deeply homophobic society.
But I can see how all of this might go completely over a cishet person’s head. They just see a quirky guy who’s sarcastic and rude and likes to befriend outcasts because they’re frequently useful to him, and because he never makes the mistake of underestimating someone just because of their position in society. But him being queer not only explains so much about him, it literally completes the picture of his character. It makes everything about him slot into place.
I think that when it comes down to it, it’s really just that seeing everyone as straight being like, the default is the only reason people see him as straight. Even though he repeatedly says that he’s not interested in women, straight people’s instinct is to interpret that as “he’s never met the right woman” instead of “he’s not interested in women and never will be.” Because there’s no absolutely undeniable textual evidence that he’s queer, that means he’s not. Which is just such an alien way to look at the world to me, you know?
Okay, so, I was (hello! Nice to meet y'all people from Tumblr) drawing Eurylochus after my math test today and he had this baby face and I was like, c'mon man, seriously? And then I said, young Eury. BUT a song popped into my mind (it was If I Were A Man) and I thought, Man you remember how Eury was the only one who didn't came inside Circe's palace? What if if this is because Eury is a trans man? (Yeah, I know, maybe not much sense by now, I just... Felt it) Like, Circe's spell was doing something with the testosterone of the men, and Eury is not on T (many years on the sea and almost dying, plus ancient greek medicine, may do that to you), so the spell didn't work on him.
That's it, that's the post, thanks for your attention.
