Happy belated birthday! Iām sorry I couldnāt find the time to write this yesterday! I hope you had a wonderful day, and I hope you like this little headcanon.

no matter how many times she transformed, legs were a difficult thing to get used to
they were useful, of course
but oh, seven oceans - were they an inconvenience sometimes
specially if sheās trying to sneak up on the prince
specially if sheās trying to be silent in a ship full of good-hearted pirates who are all fast asleep
wood creaked underneath her wet toes, and she hesitated before entering the captainās cabin
before her very human eyes adjusted to the darkness, Lira was pinned to the wall
but that was Elianās familiar smell
and his voice as he grunted-
āItās me,ā she whispered
Elian halted, and something dropped to the floor
a knife?
Lira smiled.Ā āHello, you.ā
āFuck,ā Elian whisper-shouted, stepping back.Ā āLira?ā
moonlight streamed in, and Lira took in his unmade bed, his shirt lying on the floor, his boots scattered somewhere
he had awoken
āIām sorry,ā she laughed softly.Ā āI wasnāt planning on frightening you-ā
he took her cheeks, looked into her eyes, and tipped her head back
next thing she knew, he was kissing her
full of love
one of his hands wrapping around her waist, bunching up the dress sheād put on after climbing out of the sea
Elian pulled back slightly, watching her with a dazed smile.Ā āI thought you were a thief planning to gut me.ā
āJust a regular thief.ā
āAh, how reassuring.ā
Lira smiled, wrapping her arms around his waist.Ā āIāve missed you, Captain. And I wanted to wish you a happy birthday.ā
she left a gentle kiss on his jawline, as Elian smiled.Ā āItās not until tomorrow.ā
āI know,ā Lira said.Ā āBut I wanted to be the first to congratulate you.ā
āBy sneaking up on me?ā
āYes, of course.ā
Elian laughed softly.Ā āMy darling seashell, I love you, but please refrain from giving me a heart attack in the middle of the night. I could have hurt you.ā
āIf Iād known youād throw a knife at me, I wouldāve been more careful,ā she teased
āIām sorry,ā he said, a little sheepish, lips touching her cheek
āHey,ā Lira said.Ā āCan we go back to you saying how much you missed me?ā
āI said no such thing.ā
āYou donāt need to, either,ā Lira said back, a little snarky.Ā āYou havenāt let me go since I came in.ā
Elian sighed softly, knowing she had a point, and there was no use teasing her when she could see right through him
he touched her cheek, kissed her lips once.Ā āAnd I donāt intend to, either.ā
For the Clingy!Tallest Au thingy, alot of people asked what would happen if the Tallest found out about Dib hhngh so here it is fff More under the cut
Keep reading
Hereās part 1. :}Ā Before anything else, I would like to say that Gaster and Papyrus are speaking in wingdings. The Gaster followers cannot speak Wingdings, but they have known Gaster long enough to recognize a fair amount of the words in that language. They know what heās saying in the lab and understand that something bad has happened with his kids. I drew the Gaster followers grey because I couldnāt find any drawings or references of what they looked like before the void. Anyway,
Hooo boy, Iām sorry this took so long to come out. Iāve been so obsessed with PokĆ©mon shield recently I just havenāt gotten around to it., But its here! Itās finally here. I would be absolutely willing to make a part three, but I want to warn you all that it might take a while. :/
And uh.. if Gasters greeting when he answers the phone is a bit confusing.. The idea is because Gaster only speaks in Wingdings, nobody ever calls him and only texts. So normally when he gets a call its from Sans, now Sans knows that Gaster is busy and shouldnāt be bothered while heās at work. So normally Sans only calls if he has an important question or some kind of update.

Acchan #68: Cinderella
I went on tiktok to just watch some silly Odysseus videos but then I mostly saw people going like "Yeah, maybe Odysseus cried on Calypso' island every day but honestly he had that coming after what he did Achilles and Patroclous/Circe!!!" and "Everything that happens in Odyssey is deserved cuz he took Patrochilles to war!!!" and "I feel so bad for Circe and Calypso and Penelope, they deserved better!!!"
For fucks sake I beg you, read anything different from Millers bs and like educate yourself- And please stop goddamn saying that rape victim. deserved it.
Circe probably didn't give a flying fuck, Calypso is a rapist and abuser and Penelope deserved everything she wanted and SHE WANTED ODYSSEUS
I think I've had enough internet for today, imma go wash my eyes with bleach. Anyways sorry for ranting here, i hope you don't mind it lmao
It's alright. I absolutely understand the vents about the whole thing. :'D No one deserves to be a victim of such a thing no matter WHAT they've done. I hope your eyes are okay after the bleach
Like Odysseus does so many fucked up things but Calypso and Circe? He is the victim. Period. It's very clear that Odysseus is in extreme distress on Ogygia. And Circe wasn't some sort of FwB situation. There's fear and numbness in the language he uses when talking about it. There's so much victim blaming and it SUCKS.
While back then it probably wouldn't be considered SA but now? It clearly is.
Even then, Odysseus' journey was kind of about "temptation" or just straight up "Die or get out of my sea." From Poseidon. "I don't want you in my waters so I'm gonna try and give you things that will keep you on land or just kill you."
Immortal goddesses wanting you would be many people's dream come true but not for Odysseus. And I think that's the point. His determination, how he clawed his way back into the arms he never wanted to leave in the first place, is incredible. Many people would've given up and just started a new life but he never would because no life he could ever create would compare to the life he had before. Even if it's different, it's what he's always wanted.
He literally tells Calypso "I'm not stopping until I'm home. I don't care if I suffer more until I do. I'm going home."
āMighty goddess, do not be angry with me over this. I myself know very well Penelope, although intelligent, is not your matchĀ Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā to look at, not in stature or in beauty. But sheās a human being and youāre a god. Youāll never die or age. But still I wish, every moment to get back to my home,Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā to see the day of my return. And so, even if out there on the wine-dark sea some god breaks me apart, I will go onā the heart here in my chest is quite prepared to bear affliction. Iāve already had so many troubles, and Iāve worked so hardĀ Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā through waves and warfare. Let whatās yet to come be added in with those.ā
(Book 5, Johnston)
Circe's a goddess and what happened is nothing like Dionysus and Ariadne and Apollo and Hyacinthus for example. Circe never gave Odysseus a crown of stars and he would never go out of his way to kill 120 people for bothering her. They did not love each other and he can't refuse as she's a goddess.
If you interpret them sleeping together the entire year,(It's only explicitly said that they had sex once so that's what I go with personally.) that doesn't mean he was happy with it! Even then, the whole situation is not what a healthy FwB should look like! I'm asexual and even I know that no one in a FwB situation should have to BEG in any way that basically says "Please let me go or kill me" with supplication!!! The fact that he leaves so quickly he forgets one of his men? The fact that during Elpenor's funeral, he doesn't greet Circe himself? He was avoiding her. Wouldn't he want to get "one last night together" during Book 12 if they were fwb? š
It's bonkers to me that people hate him for being a "cheater" when A.) having multiple lovers wasn't uncommon in Ancient Greece, and B.) the two people he is explicitly said to have "cheated" with, weren't his choice. He wasn't actively searching for pretty women either!!!
As mentioned, while it was common for men to have many lovers, Odysseus never had any listed unlike some of the other men. (not bashing any of them. I'm just making a point in comparison.) He also has no other children besides Telemachus in Homer's works. There's no evidence of him having other lovers other than speculation. (funny enough, I once read somewhere that the reason why Odysseus is so mean is because he doesn't "bond" enough with the other soldiers. š)
Does that mean he didn't have other lovers? Technically, Nope! It's just never explicitly stated either way. He has slaves but none were ever said to be concubines or that he sleeps with them. He has deep bonds with his fellow soldiers but that doesn't mean he sleeps with them. That doesn't mean people can't write or talk about him doing so even though it's not mentioned! Just like it also means that someone can write him not doing so as there's nothing that says it either way in Homer's Works! :D
It's fucked up when people say "He didn't try to leave Calypso enough" or something of the like. It just tells you how A.) they didn't read the Odyssey or have piss on the poor reading comprehension or B.) ...you should probably stay away from that person...
With Circe though??? I can understand the confusion but digging deeper and looking at the text, he wasn't having a good time. Or at the very least was walking on Eggshells the whole time. I hate bringing up that essay over and over again but like...I literally wrote everything there.
I also don't like how people take Circe's morally gray-ness away from her. Let her do something fucked up to be fucked up!!! Let her traumatize Odysseus!
Idk, I kind of hate that I'm "known" for this but I relate to this idiot asshole a lot and it means a lot to me that his story, despite what happens to him, has a happy ending :'D
Siren!Penelope: Yo, this sailor says he's afraid of the water?! How the hell am I supposed to work with that?!
Other Siren: I dunno, just roll with it!
Siren!Penelope: Sure, I guess. Also, what do you think? Boy dad or Girl dad?
Other Siren: Oh Girl dad! 99% sure!
Siren!Penelope: Let's hope it's not that 1%.
*deep breaths*
Okay Diana, restrain yourself. I know we've said it before, but we have to explain it again.
First and foremost, I just want to say that I don't hate Soleia. I even made a post defending her. I understand her, and she is one of the best villainesses for me in the Manhwa Community. But I want to settle something here.
For so long, I have seen many people compare Yerenica to (Lord, forgive me for what I am about to say) Rashta. [Scream of horror]
It pains me so much that one of my favourite characters is compared to that, that. No. Your mentality is wrong. The fact that you compared Navier to Soleia and Rashta to Yerenica is just, so wrong.
If we flip the roles, in my opinion, Soleia will be the protagonist who was hurting people, and we will get a backstory on how she is avenging her family.
People will say, "she's a gray character."
A gray character doesn't harm people who don't deserve it. Literally the first time they met, Yerenica did nothing and was just standing behind (not even close) to Euredian. Soleia saw her, a girl who knew nothing and was just kidnapped from her country, and attacked her.
Tell me then, why would a woman attack a girl out of nowhere? Because she felt threatened? What did Yerenica do other than stand there and watch them converse?
I'm not going to insert here what Yerenica is thinking, what her POV was because we're going to focus on Soleia and her POV, and why, even if we turn the switch and she's the main character, she would still be a bad person.
She wasn't.
She was clinging to Euredian, she was forcing him to choose her. It was mentioned countless times in both Manhwa and Nov how she exposed numerous scandals for the other noble girls who dared approach Euredian.
Soleia distanced the Tower from the Royal Family, making it nearly autonomous and Euredian, to ensure that the Tower remained in his grasp, was forced to marry her in the OG! Novel.
At the time, before the kidnapping and before Euredian accepted his feelings, Soleia was merely a choice that Euredian would begrudgingly accept as his fiancƩe, and the people thought the same. Everyone knew she was forcing him. The only relationship they had prior to the events we saw was a professional one, a Wizard reporting to the Emperor.
They practiced Dark Magic, something they knew was forbidden. Why did you think they hid? Why did you think they were doing it underground? Why did you think it was passed on secretly?
Because it was illegal.
Why? We're talking about experimenting on the bodies of the dead, stealing souls from returning to Yudetta and practicing mind control, the magic of taking one's freedom. Just look at Leria. Soleia killed her and possessed her body.
What gray character would do that?
What really made the situation worse was that the King at the time, Euredian's father, and the Temple, didn't give them a trial. What happened instead was the brutal massacre and purging of the Richards Family. This was something that Rosel, the man who told on the Richards, didn't expect to happen.
No, they were not.
Remember the Glückmahn Tripartite Agreement? It was the catalyst that started the original novel. This was the agreement where the three kingdoms of Azekien, Livovny, and Bellecourt would trade and have safe passage throuch the Glückmahn Road of Livovny. The most essential object that was being transported here was mana ore, which Bellecourt didn't have but Azekien did.
Another thing, the Magic Tower of Bellecourt was something the Kings of Bellecourt themselves had made. Euredian said it himself that generations of kings poured wealth over it to become the magical authority of Rhiger, defeating Azekien itself which was rich in mana.
Side note: My theory on why Bellecourt doesn't have mana ores is because Laurus comes down every ten years to cleanse the land. Not to mention, the land itself was made by him. While one can use mana all around Bellecourt, as explained by Rosel, the land Bellecourt was built upon was blessed by Laurus.
If the Royal Family were purging wizards left and right, why did they go to such lengths for talks over mana ore? Why did they make the Tower? Why didn't Euredian and his father, and the other kings purged them?
As mentioned in Manhwa and Novel, divinity and mana co-exist, they just don't feel each other but they can destroy the other. The Richards Family drew the line from using forbidden magic and, as Soleia mentioned, summoning Heidis.
To answer this, we're now adding Yerenica's POV. Seems fair since Rashta, in what I have seen in passing images, sometimes gets her own POV. If not, please correct me.
Is Rashta terminally-ill? The reason why Yerenica approached Euredian in that matter was because she needed his divinity. Remember that whenever she wasn't exposed to it, she would feel heavy as man would literally hold onto her. Why is she acting cute and why is she so clingy to Euredian?
Alright, this can be compared to Rashta, but please note that at the same time, there is also a difference.
Both Yerenica and Rashta felt unloved. Yerenica's mom died when she was young and her father was always away. I haven't read Remarried Empress yet (I'm stacking shh) but I do know from reading comments about it that Rashta went through something difficult as well.
What's the difference?
Yerenica cared for Soleia. She never had a thought of hurting her, or wanting her to die. She just wanted to block the engagement and marriage between Soleia and Euredian because it would end with the death of Euredian (which Soleia has planned. Please note, Euredian was a child back then. What did he do to contribute to the Richards Family death?).
Rashta, if I recall, smiled when Navier was finally divorced from... What's his name? Sovieshu? Dang what a name. Based on my understanding from some comments and passing spoilers, she just wanted to have the life Navier had (which of course, she can't.)
Please, please correct me if I am wrong because I have not read the spoilers, Manhwa, and Novel fully. I'm stacking.
Because that's not who she is. That's not Seo Eun-seo and Yerenica's personality. She's a fun-loving person who came from our world, who is terminally-ill, and funny. Honestly, the reason why I love Yerenica so much as a character is because I can relate to her.
She's not physically strong, doesn't have a monstrous amount of strength, she didn't have to go through something traumatizing as traumatizing as other female leads do, she died before she knew it. She's not a genius, but she's smart. She's not talented, but she's kind. She's not bad-ass, but she cares and is willing to sacrifice herself for someone else.
I really don't understand why you can hate a person just because you say "She's not strong or bad-ass."
Does every female lead have to lie to get what they want? Deceive others? Do they have to fight in a battle or belittle the villain?
Yerenica, throughout the novel, never belittled Soleia. She respected her, and in the end, befriended her. Soleia smiled at Yerenica and even approved of her marriage with Euredian, thinking they were a good match. Yerenica never saw her as a villain, she had thought she was scary and crazy at times, but never mistreated or fought with her.
Even Soleia knew what she was doing was terrible and in the end, once she realized the consequences of her actions, helped Yerenica and Euredian.
Tell me, if your main character kills people, disturbs the body of the dead, hurts someone innocent, summons the absolute evil of the world and encouraged their son to kill his father, all in the name of justice for a family who were killed for sorcery and killing as well, would you support them still?
A reminder that Wilbur Soot has been trying to go by his legal name of Will Gold in some parts of the music industry. His full name is William Patrick Gold. If you see that name, that's him. Do not let this bitch ever get the chance to even try and rebuild his reputation.
Had a dream last night that Satoru and Daifuku's cure designs had been revealed in some sort of trailer for the second half of the season. Everyone freaking LOVED Daifuku's design, but we're slandering Satoru's, and there was just so much discourse about it. Let's hope I'm not prophetic lol, I barely care what they look like, as long as they're magic
