Notte of the Odyssey

Former RP blog by Samwise for Mount Olympus High RPG

[oakley-odysseus]

Hi there.

I'm kind of rushing to type this, having left it in the last minute because I still can't quite accept that I'm actually doing it, you know what I mean? But it's already March, and I've been thinking about this since the beginning of the year. Already I think I've asked for too much time.

To put it simply, I'm dropping Oakley. No big deal, really, other than the fact that I'm extra emotional about it because I really, really, do love him. I honestly wouldn't still be here if it weren't for him.

My reasons aren't very special either. I just don't have enough time to play two characters. I've actually known this despite applying for Holden but I wanted to try. At the back of my mind I knew I might have to end up dropping one, but who knew it would be Oakley, eh? I'm surprised myself.

But it's possible I've just written enough of him too, as well as that it's only fair that I give Holden the same amount of focus and attention. Also possibly I'm just hopeless at keeping more than one character in any RP idk man.

Anyway, I've decided I'm only taking my precious Nicholas Hoult FC with me even if I have also thought of asking for his bio to be retired. But I thought it would be too much to ask, and so I'll just keep the face. He's very pretty, so you guys can't have him if I don't play him, sorry. :p

Idk. I'm all numb right now. With grief and all that. I've closed all the threads in my drafts since December just so I won't be haunted by them all. But hopefully after this I can come back with all my energies on playing Holden and being your ever-shady mod at the same time.

I'd like to thank everyone who has interacted with Oakley so far, and especially the ones who has expressed to me how much they enjoyed reading him. Your praises are very encouraging and has kept my muse going for him for over a year of playing, and the myth of Odysseus will always be in my heart.

And thank you, Cole, for giving me so much time to weep deep down in my cold dark heart for this muse of mine. I'm finally letting go (and reapplying a year after lbr lol lmao I'm a dork).

basically any post that makes use of the word bro several times becomes a million times funnier if you imagine it being said by diomedes and odysseus.

achilles: yo, what's diomedes deal?

odysseus: his wife is kray kray as hell. now, my wife--

diomedes: i swear i fucking dare you to finish that sentence

[oakley-odysseus]

I’m totally funny, right?? 

ANYWAYS, hello Samwise!!! I hope you had a wonderful Christmas or just an absolutely awesome holiday in general! I really wanted to do Christmas icons because they’re cheesy and what’s a better way to get into the holiday spirit??, but I’m off a few days… SO LET’S LAUGH AT WHAT COULD’VE BEEN. 

Here’s Oakley. Isn’t he handsome?

I don’t know if it’s obvious or not, but I’m a big fan of Holden/Hades. I couldn’t help myself.

Also, I made a few regular ones. Not quite sure what you’re into coloring-wise, so tell me if these don’t work for you! <3

P.S. I’ve got something else for you. It’s taking a bit longer than I thought though. :D 

xoxo,

Most gorgeous lines you've ever read?

Outside of Shakespeare, from which I couldn’t possibly choose, it’s probably this:

" (Penelope was) longed for

as the sunwarmed earth is longed for by a swimmer

spent in rough water where his ship went down

under Poseiden’s blows, gale winds and tons of sea.

Few men can keep alive through a big surf

to crawl, clotted with brine on kindly beaches

in joy, in joy, knowing the abyss behind

and so she too rejoiced, her gaze upon her husband

her white arms round him pressed as though forever”

- Homer, The Odyssey, Book XXIII. 263-270 (Fitzgerald Translation)

Hello! How's your day been? I hope you're as excited as I am for Christmas! - Secret Santa xo

(ooc: I saw this late but I want to post it because my Secret Santa is nice and sweet. Unlike me.)

Okay, I was just guessing because I think I’ve seen people annoyed with him because he pulls lots of pranks? I might have the wrong guy though. 

Ummmmm, I can’t think of anyone. This is a hard game. And I don’t want to have a lot of wrong guesses because I feel like that would insult people.

[oakley-odysseus]

People can never quite hate him, it's a bit of a rare gift.

All right, I'll tell you. He's got a name like a rapper, Zane McCain, that is. Do you know him? Do you see what I mean? Then again you know, I don't think I would be surprised if you tell me he's an okay sort of dude to you.

[messagin-imogen-blog]

Uh, i-it’s Imogen.  Imogen Rosa.  Nice to meetcha.

[oakley-odysseus]

Likewise, Imogen.

Well then, I really better get a move on. [He gives a small parting wave before heading back towards the center of the field.]

Just here to give you a warm welcome to a hopefully fantastic day! - Secret Santa xo

Aw, thank you, Secret Santa~

You find a festive looking card in your locker. It reads "You jingle everyone's bells! Happy holidays!"

Oakley takes one look at the message before bursting into laughter. He tries to maintain his composure but the senior is overcome with good humour and reads the card again, making himself laugh even more.

"Oh, boy," he gasps, wiping tears from his eyes and ignoring the looks that students from nearby lockers were giving him.

"And I promised myself I wouldn't cry," he says to the card in a tremulous voice, before laughing one last time and putting the card back into his locker.

[phillip-emerson-blog]

I said it was a bit early for Christmas stuff but

[phillip-emerson-blog]

[Phillip snickers] Oh yeah, a hot bowl of Santa right here.

[oakley-odysseus]

Perfect cure for a cold, yeah?

But really, what's with the costume?

[messagin-imogen-blog]

Yeah, definitely…see you, um…yeah.

Oh, wait wait wait-!  I didn’t get your name!

[oakley-odysseus]

Oh, right, of course. It's Oakley.

What do I call you?

[eliot-loren]

Sure, if it’s as needed as you say it is. Why don’t you go up to him if you know then?

Well, if we’re talking about romantic love then you might be right. As for sexual, I’m not really active there. Either way, all types of love are the same in the end. It’s all about experiencing something new and fun.

[oakley-odysseus]

I already did. Wasn't part of the plan, but it happened. You know his answer? He offered me tips.

'New and fun' does sound like the kind of love I'd prefer, but I dunno... There exists the 'old and difficult', too.
