“Waiting… Odysseus, when you come home I'll be waiting… Even if you're the last thing I see, I'll be waiting…” ~ Anticlea in The Underworld

“And though I never thought that it would end like this just know, I'll be here… Waiting, waiting…” ~ Penelope The Challenge

“I know that you've been waiting… Waiting, for love…” ~ Odysseus in Would you fall in love with me again

Underworld Saga Memes

Polites, even in death: greet the world with open arms :)

Odysseus: thanks! I Will Not.

ODYSSEUS SCREAMING “WHO?” BUT IT'S HIM. THE HAUNTED MAN WITH A TRAIL OF BODIES STANDING BESIDES HIS WIFE IS HIM.

Something I adore about this saga is how the songs all end with such powerful and forceful singing. It almost feels like Odysseus is trying to drown out the screams he hears by being louder with his own pain and convictions

Polites died believing that the world is kind, and yet his death contributes to Odysseus deciding to become a monster. Absolutely devastating

Tiresias: I see your wife........ with a ruthless man who has killed hundreds of people

Odysseus:

Odysseus:

Odysseus: *Monster starts playing* I will ensure that this man will be me

HOLY SHIT GUYS

IM EMOTIONALLY DESTROYED

THAT WAS BEYOND WORDS

(I do want to sneak in a small, I predicted the Polities reference!! And I should have known about the mom- I’m not crying you’re crying-)

“Please marry me.”

“I will.”

“Can you wait for me?”

“Even if it takes a hundred years.”
