Thought Of The Day: Eurylochus, Polites And Odysseus As Soldier, Poet, King

The idea of her unstringing the bow in the first place is such a beautiful idea. I always imagined it as already being unstrung and maybe left somewhere since it was out of use. This adds so much more power to "The Challenge" because we see just how little respect she has for the suitors. She doesn't just ask them to do something for her. She is demanding they FIX something SHE BROKE. It just really makes the whole thing more of a mockery, how dare they even ATTEMPT to win her love. She's taken motherfuckers

Finally working on my next epic animatic! And yes, I totally ignored the poll I made a couple of weeks ago on youtybe. The winning vote was Odysseus, but I realized I wanted to do The Challenge first.

Can you create drawings of stingrays someday? I really love stingrays and would be soooo happy to see someone actually creating art about stingrays❤️

I did make a lepidoptera themed stingray series a couple years ago! I have plans for more stingrays. I want to get better at drawing them.

They're the same image your honour

God I love Penelope. Your husband comes home after 20 years and the first thing you do is tell him to rip your wedding bed out of the ground. Then you call him an idiot. That single handedly cures his identity crisis and he hugs you for ten million years. Penelope of Sparta the woman that you are

An imagining I did of "Penelope's Axe"

(the weapon I picture her wielding)

A pair of solid gold earrings, modelled as galleons, with gold wire masts & rigging, enamel decoration and pearls, 1600s

Friend and I are making our way slowly through the sagas and badly managing stardew addictions.

Here are Circe and Tiresais :)

I love how good the ithaca saga characterizes Penelope. And I'm not talking about her being super smart and disgusting loyal, I'm talking about her being so clearly SPARTAN.

Like this saga was so wild and Penelope the whole time was just like, "Oh.. anyways-". I genuinely never seen a character so unbothered by pure insanity in every song they are in (which was only two😭)

Penelope in the challenge: "A supernatural storm just appeared dangerously close to our kingdom in an instant and left just as fast.... My husband must be here!"

Odysseus in the final song: "I treated people as subhuman and murdered hundreds."

Penelope: "Can you pick up our wedding bed?"

Odysseus: "... did you not hea-"

Penelope: "No, I heard. Now pick up the bed."

Odysseus: "No! I worked so hard on that bed!"

Penelope: "Perfect! I still love you."

Odysseus: "I'm a mass murdere-"

Penelope: "And I breathe air. Who cares?"

(Bonus: Penelope was in her room listening to the dying screams of the suitors and was probably like, "Sounds like the boys are having fun😊.")
