Never Agreed So Much Whit A Tumblr Ship Post

that’s how the scene went, right?

A small LO painel redraw ( i'm not a LO fan)

The original painel:

I KNOW this is just delusional blabber but how good would it have been if after Whole Cake Island Sanji started to flubber & swish around Luffy the way he does with the ladies?!

It would've been SO CUTE AGH!

"Luffy-kyun! You have taken a shower, good job💕"

"Ah~ Luffy-chwan looking cute and dashing this morning as well! No stealing food though~"

And when Luffy is on the battlefield you always have a split second of Sanji in the background twirling his heart out before going about his business o(⁠〒⁠﹏⁠〒⁠)o

Persephone's Abduction

"Persephone went willingly! Just check the oldest myth." - one too many a person on tiktok this morning.

Alright, I will. I'll use the Homeric Hymn to Demeter (7th century BCE) for you.

"[..] but broad-pathed Earth gaped wide

On the Nysion plain where the lord, the Receiver of many, rushed forth

With his deathless horses, Kronos' son who has many a name.

He seized her against her will, and aboard his golden car

Carried her off, lamenting; she uttered a piercing scream"

(line 16-20)

"When the maiden shrieked in appeal to her father"

(line 27)

"While the goddess [Persephone] viewed earth and starry sky, and the strong-flowing sea

Teeming with fish, and the rays of the Sun, she still hoped to behold

Her dear mother again, and the tribes of gods eternal in race;

So long did hope soothe her mighty mind despite her grief."

(line 33-36)

"Sun, [Helios], as a god for a goddess [Demeter] show your regard for me,

If ever by word or deed your heart and spirit I pleased.

The daughter whom I bore, my sweet offshoot of glorious form,

I heard through the murmuring air giving vent to an anguished cry

As though overpowered by force, yet caught no glimpse with my eyes.

[...]

Who took her without my consent against her will by force

And vanished -"

(line 64-72)

"And the lord in his [Hades'] halls he [Hermes] discovered seated upon a couch,

And he had his revered spouse by him, though much against her will,

Since she longed for Demeter, her mother -"

(line 43-45)

"She [Persephone] quickly leaped up in delight, but secretly, glancing round,

He [Hades] gave her to eat a pomegranate's honey-sweet seed, so that there

By revered Demeter the dark-robed she would not for ever stay."

(line 73-75)

"I [Persephone] at once leaped up in delight, but Hades secretly put

A food as sweet as honey, a pomegranate's seed, in my hand

And using violence forced me to taste it against my will"

(line 412-412)

Arcturus: (crying) This year, I lost my dear prodigy Fletcher.

Fletcher: (from the Ether) Quit telling everyone I’m dead!

Arcturus: Sometimes, I can still hear his voice!

i need a fic like this on Ao3 right now

AU where Arcturus raises Fletcher after his parents are killed by the orcs. Being a close friend of Edmund and Alice, Arcturus is the only one that Sir Caulder trusts with his young lord, because he wouldn’t have known about the secret mountain passage (as he hadn’t grown up a noble) and so couldn’t have betrayed them!

He knows that he’s the only family Fletcher has left and that if he were to die, his beautiful boy would be left all on his own, so he doesn’t go after the orcs that had killed Edmund and Alice, and consequently doesn’t end up losing his right eye or getting his scar.

Arcturus takes up a permanent teaching position at Vocans, doing administrative work, and making sure Fletcher grows up knowing how much his parents had adored him and each other. He becomes the steward of the Raleigh properties and fortunes, helping manage everything until Fletcher is old enough to do it himself, and hiring countless tutors to make sure Fletcher knows all his duties and responsibilities.

And after decades of searching, Arcturus finally finds the family he’s always yearned for in the form of the son of two of the people he had loved most in the world.

Troilus design! (ft best dad Apollo) He's around 12 years old here.

Researching Troilus' story is not an easy task because unfortunately most of the ancient texts focused on him didn't survive and others only survived in fragments.

This story is brutal even for greek mythology standards so please keep that in mind if you want to continue reading this or do more research on your own.

Something that all of the versions seems to agree on is that he was a Trojan prince, son of queen Hecuba and was killed by Achilles. His father was either Apollo or Priam (Apollo fits more with the context of the story though).

Most of the versions also focus on Troilus' young age and he's often shown to be visibly shorter than Achilles on the vase paintings depicting his death.

The most popular version of the myth (which is also supported by ancient vase paintings) states that Troilus and his sister Polyxena (she's not preset in every version though) went outside of Troy on their horses and while they were at a fountain Achilles ambushed them.

Achilles then chased Troilus who tried to hide inside of Apollo's temple (possibly seeking his father's protection) but Achilles caught up to him and murdered Troilus either inside or in front of the temple and then brutally mutilated his body.

There 2 alternative reasons given for the murder:

1. There was a prophecy which said that if Troilus reached 21 years of age Troy would never fall.

2. Achilles fell in love with Troilus, tried to force himself on him and was enraged when the boy refused his advances. (This version seems to have more surviving evidence)

It could also be that the only reason that Achilles killed Troilus was the fact that he was a Trojan prince and therefore an enemy but this does not seem to fit with the brutality of the act.

Here are some vase paintings that show Troilus' death at the hands of Achilles
