meditations on the odyssey
Guys.
Y’all.
I…
I just. I just… i have discovered something. And I have laughed too much. I have laughed every time I have tried to explain it to someone. I cannot get through this.
Look. Okay.
There are two things you need to know, here.
First: There’s a style of Greek pottery that was popular during the Hellenic period, for which most of the surviving examples are from southern Italy. We call them ‘fish plates’ because, well, they’re plates, and they’re decorated with fish (and other marine life).
Like this one, currently in the Met:
Or this one, currently in the Cleveland Museum of Art:
They’re very cool. We’re not 100% sure what they were for, because most of the surviving ones were found as grave goods, but that’s a different post.
The second thing you need to know is that when we (Classics/archaeology/whatever as a discipline) have a collection of artefacts, like vases, sculptures, paintings, etc. and we do not know the name of the artist, but we’re pretty sure one artist made X, Y and Z artefacts, we come up with a name for that artist. There are a whole bunch of things that could be the source for the name, e.g. where we found most of their work (The Dipylon Master) or the potter with whom they worked (the Amasis Painter), a favourite theme (The Athena Painter), the Museum that ended up with the most famous thing they did (The Berlin Painter) or a notable aspect of their style. Like, say, The Eyebrow Painter.
Guess what kind of pottery the Eyebrow Painter made?
Nothing will dispell the "the curtains were just blue" myth faster than writing something yourself, because the amount of pretentious symbolism i am putting in my silly little fanfics is ridiculous. I mean SO much with these words, literally every single one of them. This fic has twenty five typos and zero correct uses of punctuation but if there's curtains you bet your ass I put thought into what colour they were.

Comments/Q&A on Degrees of Lewdity version 0.5.2.8
Hi! I decided to take some screenshots of the questions that caught my attention and share them here, but since it breaks the picture limit I put the text only. I might add more were I check the comment section again but you can add screenshots in the replies if I don't <3
1) What emojis does Lis like to use?
2) If PC doesn't want to take a bath, what will Lis(+Wren and Bailey) do and what will they say?
Vrelnir
1) Robin just uses hearts and happy faces. Whitney uses a lot of whatever fashionably represents genitals.
2) Robin and Kylar would be okay with it. Alex and Whitney would make fun of them. Eden would carry them to the spring and drop them in. Avery Would get angry. Bailey wouldn't care. Wren would find it odd.
Thank you very much, I was already thinking that it wasn't going to come out yet. I doubt it's possible, but will you ever add a way to "kidnap" NPCs like they do to us? I know it probably goes against what you want to do so take it as a question.
Vrelnir
You're welcome. A way to kidnap NPCs isn't planned, but I'll consider it when I get around vigilantism.
1. Would Eden use the cage punishment on the pc in front of their children?
2. How would the High love Lis handle their child with the PC inheriting PC's attractiveness. Let's say their child is being pursued by someone just like them? IE. Eden's kid being pursued by someone who wants to lock them away and is very violent both sexually and physically, Robin's kid being with someone who is extremely codependent to their kid's detriment, Whitney's kid being pursued by a bully who treats them like a sexual object to be passed around, Avery's kid being pursued by Someone much older than them who is very abusive, and Kylar's kid having a creepy obsessive stalker who can be very dangerous.
2a. What about Alex, Corrupted Sydney, Black Wolf, and Great Hawk?
2b. Would this cause the Lis to reflect on how they treated the PC?
3. Though there is no death in DOL what would (High Love) Eden, Avery, Whitney, or Kylar do if they caused the PC to die from physical trauma?
3a How would Bailey react?
4. Are there plans to make Alex darker to be more in line with the other Lis?
Vrelnir
1. Aye.
2. Eden wouldn't connect the dots, and would see the aggressor as very different from themselves. Whitney wouldn't either, but would be more receptive were it pointed out, and would feel terrible. Robin would get on well with them. Avery would intervene. Kylar would commit a crime.
2a. Alex would see themselves in them, and feel embarrassed. Corrupted Sydney is likely to encounter this very issue, and might be okay with it, though cautious. The black wolf would want to fight them. The great hawk would think them a good match.
2b. Aye, except Eden.
3. Eden would retreat deeper into the forest, where not even Bailey could find them. Avery would Continue as normal, for a time at least. Whitney wouldn't recover. Kylar would burn half the town, then vanish.
3a. With anger.
4. No hard plans, though that was the original intention.
I don't know if this has been noted before but, I think it was in one of the confessionary events, someone mentions the Christian faith. So far | thought the world of DoL had its own faith going on, so | found it weird to see a mention of that. Is it a mistake in the writing or?
Vrelnir
I think Winter mentions Christianity in connection with one of the antiques, but I don't recall explicit mention outside that. l'd need to take a look. Christianity does exist in the world of DoL.
1. What's Niki's favorite dish?
2. Does Niki has a favorite animal or pet? And if they do - how would they react to a PC with that animal's transformation?
3. When Niki mentions being glad about PCs safety during the photoshoot event post-underground farm it got me curious; were they thinking about PCs safety during that time before they found out PC managed to leave?
4. Are there any other future plans for Niki? Nothing too big or revealing but maybe tiny hints?
5. Any fun fact - or maybe not so fun fact about our photographer?
6. Does Niki get along with anyone at all from town? Not work wise but as friends?
7. Not a Niki related question! (Surprisingly) Did you eat well today? I hope so!
* Lilian Dimveil
I'm sorry, not Vrelnir, but I could answer 4! and 5? >W<
4. Vrelnir said, there's lewdity planned for Niki.
5. I don't know if you've seen it.but | remember Vrelnir saying that Niki isn't particularly romantic - is that a funny thing?
Vrelnir
It's no problem! I hope you enjoy the new scenes. You're not being a bother!
1. Chicken Tikka Masala.
2. They don't have a pet, but they like swans.
3. Aye, occasionaly.
4. Aye. There's more to come for their photo studio. There's also lewdity planned like Lilian Dimveil says.
5. They're not native to the town. Thanks for the response Lilian Dimveil.
6. Not in particular.
7. I ate well yesterday thank you! I had a pasty and Some veg for tea.
1. Who from the Lls would cry on their wedding with the PC? 1.2 The other Lls who won't cry, how would they feel?
2. I always imagine Whitney with my PC when | listen "Umbrella" from Rihanna, so if the PC declares that song to them, what would Whitney think/feel? (that one song that is like "Ella, ella, eh, eh, eh, under my umbrella, ella, ella, eh, eh, eh' such an amazing love song!)
3. If a PC who has a long beautiful hair and loves it, gets attacked by some delinquents from school (not Whitney's friends) and cut the PC's hair into a neck length, and Whitney comes just in the moment when this happens, besides from attacking them back, what would they do/say at the crying and depressed PC? (anime cliché, sorry)
3.1 Just for some revenge, how would Whitney attack those delinquents? Imao
4. At the raining day at the park, when Whitney meets the PC again after the PC went missing, why did they leave after the hug? I tought they would like to spend more time since they missed them
5. When the PC is missing on town, how are Whitney's days? 6. When Whitney finds out the PC is missing, how did they take it?
7. How many times did Whitney cried on those days?
8. Did they became more violent at that time or just silent and don't giving a fuck about anything?
9. After meeting the PC again at the hug moment on the park, when Whitney is leaving what would they do if the PC takes their arm and ask to stay with them a little longer?
10. Realistically, what would Whitney change on their way to treat the PC after they came back?
Vrelnir
1. Robin and Kylar.
1.2. Like they could cry.
2. Whitney would call the PC a slut, but they wouldn't be unhappy.
3. They'd say the PC looks just as slutty with short hair, as an attempt to reassure them.
3.1. It's hard to say. It would depend on their whim.
4. They don't like how emotionally vulnerable they feel.
5. Anxious.
6. Badly.
7. Never.
8. The become more surly, and quick to commit violence.
9. They'd shake the PC off.
10. They might not change anything.
1. You've said before that the orphans are both at awe and disbelief at PC taking Robin's debt, but what do they think about PC after completing the Loft, adding the pond and greenhouse in the back, and buying everyone Christmas presents on top of shouldering Robin's debt? Do the other orphans ever get jealous that we don't shoulder their debt too? 2. Out of all the Ll's, who texts PC the most to just chat? Is there a scale of who texts the most to the least?
Vrelnir
No problem!
1. Not jealous, though this might be explored in the future
2. Whitney would text the most, and Eden would barely text at all.
1. If Wren, Remy and Zephyr are in the same car, who will be the driver and what will Zephyr do in the car?
2. What's the impression of "villains" on Harper, a young and terrible person?
3. We know Zephyr likes Wren quite a lot. What's his opinion of Wren? Does he love Wren as a younger brother?
4. Are Charlie and Jordan classmates? I remember you said that Jordan once learned to dance from Charlie. What was Charlie's first impression of Jordan?
5. Is Niki in her twenties, too? Are he and Wren classmates, too?
6. Is there any personality difference between Jordan in high school and Jordan now?
7. If the PC went to the cabin to play cards with Wren, and Wren happened not to be there, what would other colleagues say to the PC? What will colleagues say to Wren when he comes back?
8. Will Harper fall into a coma because of the pressure of work? Or does he have a good plan for his working hours?
9. To what extent did the temple people overprotect Jordan?
Vrelnir
1. Zephyr would insist on driving, though they don't have a license.
2. The ones who know who they really are feel somewhat frightened.
3. They like Wren, but don't view them as a sibling.
4. Aye. Charlie liked Jordan, but was too shy to approach them for a while.
5. Aye, and aye.
6. Their personality has become more extreme.
7. If they were familiar with the PC, they'd let them know where Wren was. Otherwise, they might assault the PC.
8. Their plan is to take more stimulants.
9. Considerably.
1. Can you add a tiara/headpiece to go with the belly dancer and ball gowns?
2. Could you add a Little Red Riding Hood costume outfit with a handheld basket?
3. Maybe when you get to a certain level in the housekeeping skill, you could repair/make your own clothing?
Thank you for reading this, and I hope you consider incorporating these suggestions in the future!
Vrelnir
I'm glad you like it!
1. A tiara/headpiece for the belly dancer and ball gowns would be very appropriate.
2. This sounds cute.
3. This would fit.
If it's a coincidence that Pc looks very like Kylar's parents, does Kylar have some sort of paternal or maternal predisposition that makes Kylar close to PC?
Vrelnir
Nope.
1) Can you name a single redeeming quality for each villain (+Avery)?
2) Is Avery capable of genuine, romantic love towards the PC or would they still see them as an object even at max affection?
3) If in a scenario where the PC has escaped Eden and he's desperate to get them back, and asks Bailey where they are, but they've already sent the PC to a place like the UF/UB as punishment, would he be honest about it or lie? 4) Why does Kylar want kids so badly?
4a) Did they already want kids before meeting the PC?
5) Is Kylar deranged enough to take the PC being raped as them being cheated on at high/max jealousy?
*Lilian Dimveil
Hey, sorry it's not Vrelnir. but I think I can answer a little bit. Avery is actually one of the villains! Although they are LI, they are also villain.
2) In those past Q&A's of Vrelnir (some of which were Q&A's that he and other players privately messaged in Subscribestar) - it's very unlikely that Avery would be able to generate the kind of genuine, romantic love that you're talking about. Or, if they do have love for the PCs, it's almost impossible to detect.
Vrelnir
No problem! I'm keeping well thank you. I hope you are too.
1) They're all industrious! Briar has a good sense of style. Harper is smart. Remy has good taste. Eden is self-sufficient. Bailey is consistent.
2) Thanks for the response Lilian Dimveil.
3) They'd be honest, but maybe not blunt.
4) They want to be less lonely.
4a) Aye, but not with such intensity.
5) Aye.
Seducing Bailey felt so "taboo" that it was very hot. I don't like the removal of that mechanic... hope it's going to be re-introduced with even more depth in the future.
Vrelnir
I'm glad you liked the scene, and I hope you'll like what Bailey has in store for the future.
Hi! I have some questions:
1. In a scenario where PC was middle aged and their and Eden's kid was 18 like canon PC...If Eden's kid had a sexual/romantic relationship with Kylar, Whitney, Great Hawk, Gwylan, Mason or Doren, how would they react? In a scale from "tolerating" to "| hate you so much" where would the npc be according to Eden's View sexual/romantic companion for their kid?
2. Could you list who is the horniest and less horny out with the current love interests?
3. Were PC to go one day to town to never return until almost two decades later, what would Eden (at High Love) do? Would he keep looking for them or lose all hope and think they're dead? Would he try to get a new companion? How Would it be their reaction when PC returned to them, discovering it wasn't intentional their disappearance? (Either by being kidnapped or loss of memory that prevent them to remember where they lived and who was their beloved)
3.B. Similar to the previous ask, what would it be Eden's reaction to losing their kid, only to find them years later and discover they were living as an orphan at the orphanage? (In the hypothetical scenario where Bailey was unaware that baby was Eden's and the kid had 0 memories of their family) Would they blame or get mad at Bailey? Would they try to make their kid live with them in the cabin or would they accept if their kid preferred to keep living there?
4. Charles/Charlene will be a character capable of being found by PC in the future or are they dead/disappeared forever? Will we know more about presumed spouse/person Morgan's whos Charles/Charlene other parent?
5. Do you think Robin and Kylar could have common interests (such as animes or games they both like)? In case they do could you provide the genre they're both interested in?
6. Whitney is an only child? Do they live with both parents or do they have only one?
7. Was Avery born in a rich family or did he became a rich man?
8. How old do you imagine Morgan and Avery? In their 30s or above?
*Lilian Dimveil
Hi! I'm sorry, not Vrelnir, but I think | could help answer a few questions.
4. It may be explored in the future. And Morgan's content is being tweaked.
7. Rich family. Their family is old money.
8. 40s.
Vrelnir
1. Eden wouldn't allow their child to go to town.
2. It's hard to say! Eden might be the horniest, and Robin the least.
3. Eden would keep looking for them, and wouldn't find another companion. If the PC returned in the future, they wouldn't let the PC escape again. Especially if they'd been abducted.
3B. They wouldn't be angry with Bailey, but they would insist their child move to the forest.
4. It might be explored in the future, like Lilian Dimveil says.
5. They both enjoy games, though usually different ones. There might be some overlap at the edges of their interests.
6. It might be explored in the future.
7. 8. Thanks for the response Lilian Dimveil.
No problem. You're not bothering me. I hope you have a nice day as well!
+ I can't find the screenshot I made with the questions but here's Vrelnir answers (pretty self-explanatory what the questions are):
1. Bailey isn't planned to become a love interest, but they should have their stats in the cheat menu, ideally.
2. There's a plantperson love interest planned for the future, like Lilian Dimveil says.
controversial opinion but ive suffered enough and should get everything i want for forever from now on and also im pretty cute
crying, throwing up, sliding down my the wall dramatically, banging my head on the wall, ripping my hair out, screaming, punching air, rolling in dirt and eating sand angrily because holy damn you haven't seen my man
May I get an angsty but also very very sweet V x Reader oneshot? Like both of them love each other so much but always acknowledging it wouldn't last cause V is literally a serial killer? 👉👈
Ah, a beautiful angst vortex that could swallow us while. Shall we…? ~ DP
V swore he’d never love such a beautiful bird as yourself.
You swore it wouldn’t last, no matter the situation.
Both souls are tethered to the forgotten foundations…
CW / TW :
- Spoilers for V’s Route ( Killer Chat )
- Murder ( mentioned )
- Gore ( mentioned )
- Dead Bodies / Death ( mentioned )
You have been warned… now sit back and relax.
Enjoy.
Oh Gracious Bird.
You stared at V as he came in. His coat, covered in blood and viscera you didn’t need to see OR smell. Copper hung heavy in the air as he slipped the coat off and looked over to greet you.
“Hello Birdie, I hope I wasn’t too long in my endeavors.”
V; ever the kind one, only smiled as he put his coat away and folded his coat to slip into the laundry later ( after a rinse and wash of it ). He immediately sensed you’re uncomfortable aura and frowned slightly as he slid into his spot right next to you.
You shifted a bit away from him, only worrying him even more in the process. Even when you were skittish, you never truly inched away. Possibly even when you needed time alone.
“Are… you alright my dear?”
You jump a bit at his words, looking away with a quiet nod and your arms wrapped around yourself to bring some semblance of comfort… even if it was very little. After all, this was important.
“… You reek of blood.”
“I apologize, I knew I should have gotten changed before I came. I can shower if you’d like…?”
You can feel his gaze on you but you dared not to look back. Only grunting slightly in agreement as you sighed with a shaky breath.
“Why do you do this?”
It reminded V of when you both had made your first call. Those rather tacky responses and his serious questions were amusing to the vigilante’s ears and heart. It made you shake slightly as you faced him properly to search for an answer, something in his eyes.
“Well, you are my partner. I suppose it is only-“
“Why are you still with me? Why do you still keep me knowing that this-“
You pointed to yourself and him in rapid motions, tears pooling I’m your eyes. V was undoubtedly worried now with his deep gaze that shed his full emotional state. Was he… crying?
“This won’t last V. You kill people for fucks sake! I’m just some person who happened to get lost in the crossfire.”
V shifted in his spot, wiping his eyes ( with an odd elegance ) as he looked away to not even face you. He was hurt was all, never mind that he wouldn’t ever show it but… this time was different, wasn’t it?
“I love you. I do, but this is my act alone my dear Bird.”
He looked over at you, his eyes stared deep into yours. It prompted your own tears to fall as well; you did love him, that’s a given. But you didn’t want to get caught in V’s own misdeeds ( even if he deems them justified )… it hurt. Stung. The morbid reality of the situation weighed on his shoulders as he quietly nodded.
“Yet I won’t hurt you. You know this… please, let’s us-“
“Me? What about everyone else? They might be bad people, they might have made mistakes. But I can’t live with the fact knowing that you feed them to animals as if they’re red meat.” You inhale shakily. “I love you too, I really goddamn fucking do. But this has gone too far my sweet…”
“…” V stays silent for a bit, his eyes glossed over as he heard the words leave your mouth…
“I can’t trust that you won’t hurt me.”

Reading mha last chapter again only to find everyone looking straight and Todoroki looking at Deku 😭
When Adam bit the apple he did it because he trusted Eve. Because he loved her. Adam bit into the apple because the woman he loved told him to, no matter what God said. No matter the rules of heaven. What’s heaven to a woman’s love anyway? What’s God to your wife? The first sins of humanity, were trusting others. Eve trusted a snake, Adam trusted Eve, and I trust you. Maybe that’s a sin, just like the first couple. Maybe everyone’s right about us and we’re sinners and we offend God. But like I said, what’s God to a woman’s love anyway? What has heaven got that I can’t find sitting next to you on a cool autumn morning?

The old school lack of transparency on tumblr is amazing because you assume the people you follow must all be equivalent to you and then you see someone write “I brought my youngest to college today” and someone else write “my mom wouldn’t let me listen to Ariana Grande when I was a kid” and then your head explodes
