I've seen some people talk about "what if Polites lived and Odysseus died" scenarios so I'm joining in.

Silly little AU in which Odysseus dies at the Cyclops and Polites is the only one to make it home. And between Circe and the Underworld he too has his monster arc except instead of "I'll do anything to get home" it's "I'll do anything to get *them* home" in which he fucks himself over at every turn just to try and help the rest of the crew. That is until Zeus comes and is like "nuh uh buddy" of course.

#because despite loving the crew Odysseus' biggest love and motivation to get home is and will always be his family #but Polites' family is the crew (at least in my vision I don't know if he's actually married)#and I feel like he would do anything for them #even die #also Eurylochus is the captain in this I think I should mention that #epic the musical #odysseus #polites

I'll bury myself with your suffering, if that's what it takes

#girls when they love someone so much yet are all to aware that they unwittingly cause them suffering #and would do anything to ease it for them #even die #i think about how she makes SEVERAL comments on how she wishes she was dead so thancred wouldnt suffer so much #when she suggests fusing with minfilia proper shes literally like. i dont care what happens to me anymore i want to do whatever i can #even if it means dying/disappearing in the process #she genuinely thinks this is the only way her existance is justified #as a vessel and stepping stone for minfilia #bc shes not strong enough not fast enough she doesnt have minfilias powers #and (as far as she knows) she doesnt even have thancreds love. the person she loves the most doesnt actually care about her (in her mind)#all her life shes been a source of suffering for everyone around her #her existance was a threat to vauthry and a source of grief for ran'jit #and grief and hope and hate and love and everything all at once for thancred #like he did love her. but he also hated that it wasnt minfilia. and he grieved having to lose one but also hope for whoever would surivive.#all she wanted was for him to love her for HER and when she couldnt have that she sought his love the only way she know how #by becoming the person he wished her to be instead #ryne waters #final fantasy #final fantasy 14 #final fantasy xiv #ff14 #ffxiv #art #my art #xanders art #digital art #fan art #xander being insane about ryne #tw blood #cw blood

It would do her nothing good.

#ask #over exaggerating much #holy cow #even die #who would be capable of killing a country that she could date?#a human wouldn't be able to do that #and I don't think many countries would want her dead #she seems pretty... liked #aph switzerland #hetalia switzerland #also partly #aph liechtenstein #hetalia liechtenstein #cosplayswitzerlandaskblog

Im surprised I love that Neptune and Mars arrow scene as a nightmare drabble but hate it in canonical context

tldr mars being a character who does questionable/mean things for the greater good is already established as being her thing and a reason to tolerate her being kind of a dick sometimes, why does this need to be proven to someone we saw who couldn't make sacrifices either (which was in fact framed as a good thing) and framed as a ~life lesson~. Basically why use the most inappropriate senshi for that scene, its not like makoto got paired up

But in the Nightmare I think it plays on a fear of Michiru and the Outers in general have. Whatever flavor of canon, they always try to make peace about working for the greater good, but one interesting snag is they always manage to keep agency about it. Whether to choose to be ‘mean’ or choose to throw themselves at an enemy and be a meatshield, its a choice. I think the idea they’d be ordered/cajoled into cannon fodder and have no real choice in the matter and maybe not even know they’re expected to do it until it drops on them scares the shit out of them
