So how exactly do god pregnancies work? And how different is they're aging process compared to humans when they're born? For someone like Penelope who was human before then turned into a goddess I imagine this might be quite confusing for her.
It mostly depends on god and what form they have when "trying for the baby". That's why Helen was born from an egg.
If they take the shape of the person it means it will be a normal human pregnancy. (For example what happened to Hermes and Dionysus).
Things get complicated when it's between gods/titans/inhuman creatures. Then the pregnancy can be something as abstract as a child simply appearing as a representation of their love (for example Anteros) or a child might skip the entire pregnancy or process of baby making when it embodies some emotions or past grudges (Hephaestus, Athena, Erechtheus, Ovids' Pegasus). Sometimes it might even be something very abstract (Erechtheus once again), very simple or a little confusing.
Penelope should not be too worried. Ody isn't too freaky so the weirdest thing that might happen is Penelope laying an egg.
When the child is born it mostly depends on if it's going to inherit the godhood. It doesn't always happen, even with children of two gods. If the child inherits the godhood it will quicker grow from newborn to child (around twice as fast usually - Hermes is exemption , not a rule)
Gods that are born normally are usually just kids that grow up without anything too weird. Their strength isn't usually the problem since if their parents are gods it shouldn't bring them trouble.
She's still getting used to being an aunt
So, how exactly does death work for demigods? Cuz one half of Hercules went to the underworld, and one half went to Olympus. Do you think they're still connected to that other half?
I don't think his soul was split in half. It's more likely that as a demigod it takes less effort to burn away his mortality. It is something that gods were doing to people to grant them a longer lifespan but it seems that Heracles didn't need to do it for a long time.
I read this passage and I can only imagine one thing
Diomedes:
Hector on the outside:
Hector on the inside…:
Bonus with Hector's reaction anytime there's a male specimen near Ody
Giggles
Hahahahahaha!!!!🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🫶🫶🫶🫶
You are absolutely right hahahaha
Diomedes was just happy to be included while Hector was secretly beefing with a kid hahahaha
It makes me wonder how everything would be once Ody would be pregnant.
How it would affect everyone.
Also how would the Trojan war change.
Let's say that pact somehow still exists and Agamemnon is the one to take everyone into the battlefield.
Would the brothers argue over taking Odysseus or not? Agamemnon might be prideful but he knows that he needs her as the tactitian
What would happen if Agamemnon found out that Odysseus is female Omega during the courting of Helen?
Would he want to blackmail her/court her/ or maybe demand that she marries Menelaus since he wants to ensure a throne for his brother (not being sure if Helen would pick any of them)
There are a few different scenarios that could happen. But he wouldn't attack her. That just wouldn't happen. Because a. Thats a bad look for him to attack an omega (especially an omega woman) who's the guest of his host and b. He had braincells prior to the war so he wasn't a complete fool
1. He gets her to reveal herself to everyone else and now she is getting hounded by everyone else along with Helen. (He would make a fool of her in front of everyone when he outs her too)
2. He attempts to blackmail her into getting Helen to pick him and would demand she marry his brother so he has a throne. And this Would also include getting her to reveal herself and humiliating her. The hardest part is convincing his brother to go along with it because Menelaus isn't the type to marry someone doing it out of distress. (But he would also be the safest option for Ody to marry)
3. He courts her himself. Because hey Ithaca would be a nice edition to his kingdom and forces her to marry him. This is the worst case scenario but also least likely to happen. He has seen Odysseus fight. And I don't think he would want to go through the pain of trying to "tame" her.
4. He doesn't tell anyone and blackmails her without a demand she marry his brother but would blackmail her into marrying one of the other suitors to put her back in her place. And most likely that suitor is the one who reveals she's a woman.
So aside from making people calm, what other abilities does Titan Odysseus have? Who is Odysseus's least favorite family member and most favorite family member? ( I'm talking about those of both Titans and other Olympian gods?)
How did Odysseus manage to convince Penelope of letting him date Diomedes?
Also, what do Penelope and Diomedes do to bond with each other?
1) He can remove strong emotions, remove specific sounds, he can ensure that created by him sanctuaries won't be found and in addition to that most of the basic god powers like shape shifting. His powers are more about affecting someone's mind, emotions and senses, he can slightly affect the surroundings but he isn't too good at it.
2) His least favourite are probably Zeus, Chronos and . Meanwhile his favourites are Artemis, Helios, Pan and Athena.
3) It wasn't that difficult to convince her. She was already very happy to see Ody ask for permission to court someone. Ody just showed her Dio and after spending some time she would make it clear if she approves or not.
4) It's a magical power of two introverts to get along even when not doing anything special. They like to just talk, enjoy their hobbies or go on a hunt.
Helloooo! I came again to comment on another passage
I might be obsessed…
I just imagined Ody singing that part of The Challenge
"Just know, I'll be here, buying you time!"
Unfortunately, weaving an infinite shroud doesn't seem to be helping much now
*cries*
Hello 👋
It's good to see you again 🫶
Well...you are right about the weaving...but I have some other plans to recreate the vibe🤫🫣🤭
What if god Odysseus was the son of Poseidon? How much would that would change in Ody's life?
A LOT would change. Poseidon would be a helicopter parent to his son. Ody as a god of safety would focus on assisting sailors and shipwrecked people, but Poseidon would punish any man who tries to take advantage of his innocent son.
Ody would live on a hard to reach island and any nymph/god/siren/etc that would potentially inhabit it would have to be approved by Poseidon.
The reason why is because Ody is due to living near the sea he always helped people lost there but sadly some sailors out of desperation would want to do unspeakable to the beautiful young looking man with wings.
Odysseus would have wings similar to a seagull or albatross. He is also more sheltered so he relies on stories shared by people to know more about the world.
It is almost like a currency to him. You can ask him a favour and he will accept if you in exchange tell his an interesting story that he didn't hear before.
Odysseus would meet Penelope when she was sailing with her family and she accidentally fell overboard during a storm. He helped her and took her to his island because she had no idea how to explain the Ody location of Sparta. So they would spend a few days together and at night Ody was flying and trying to locate her home.
Once he did it he took her to safety. They fell in love and Ody promised to visit her but also he warned her to not try to seek him or Poseidon might punish her.
He was visiting her once a week but her cousins started to suggest that he just has another lover on his island. She didn't believe them but once her father wanted to marry her off she decided to risk everything and swim to Odysseus.
Poseidon was about to strike her with his trident but Ody shielded her with his wings. Penelope seeing it started to worry and tried to help Ody despite being in danger. Poseidon was impressed and allowed her to be with his son but she wasn't allowed to invite her family over. (There would be an additional "myth" about that). She became a goddess once she reached her twenties so she would be in a similar "age" as Odysseus.
There would be a story where Jason and Argonauts accidentally landed on Ody's island where the young god helped them and told them that they can take any food but they can't steal any treasures or stay for longer than two nights. They at first agreed but one of them got fascinated by pearl jewelry and stole a necklace. Also Jason forgot that they were there already for a day when Ody explained the rules and because of it they stayed for a day too long. Because of it they stumbled upon angry Poseidon who assumed that they wanted to hurt his son. They promised that they didn't touch him but Poseidon told them that he will only believe them if the thief who stole the necklace reveals himself and experiences a proper punishment. At first they wanted to blame Heracles since he would most likely survive it but then even started claiming to be the thief. Impressed Poseidon allowed them to go but as a punishment he moved their boat so their journey would take longer than needed.
I agree that Athena would fight Apollo. The only problem was when the heats started because now Ody didn't yearn for any alpha but for one specific.
Because of it for a year during heats Apollo was allowed to join Odysseus for those few days to ease the situation.
Apollo of course went over the top. He would bring the best foods, play music and take Ody to some beautiful private spots (anything to make Ody fall for him).
Ody was asked to join the courting of Helen so he would find another Alpha for himself so he would not be dependent on the sun god.
Also because of all the times Apollo tried to slip in nectar and ambrosia, now Ody has a huge distrust of anyone who wants to feed him.
Once he marries Penelope she helps him regain some trust and helps him feel comfortable again with telling what he wants (since he used to be too scared to tell Apollo "no")
How about Omega Odysseus who was secretly courted by Apollo (not eldritch one). When he was a teen (before Penelope) he used to train archery in the favourite spot in the forest. There one day Ody witnessed a beautiful hunter similar age as him who would ask to join in and even help Odysseus improve his techniques.
Athena sensed that something was wrong and she flew to her champion but it was too late. She witnessed a magically created field of flowers whose smell made the young omega overwhelmed and in the middle of it was Apollo who took the form of the alpha so she could bite the omega he fancied.
A year later during the courting of Helen, Odysseus kept his neck hidden. He didn't do it to be more presentable to Helen or Penelope but because he still felt uncomfortable when trying to explain how he got it.
Interesting 👀 go on
My take on this is that Athena is gonna fist fight her brother
And that Apollo 100% going to try to make Odysseus immortal after claiming him
Or maybe Ares is the one who wants to pair them up!?
He would one day run to Penelope in the middle of her training and shout in excitement "You won't believe this, but I think I found a perfect boyfriend for you!"
And Ares would try to describe Ody in the best way possible while Penelope doesn't like the idea of being with god because on her head, the god would probably want s*x and nothing more.
I have an idea for an au, basically the entire plot of God Odysseus, but instead of Penelope, it is now the daughter of Ares because you know Spartan heritage. How would that work out compared to Odysseus?
I think the only change is Ares would be protective of his daughter. But he also helped train and raise Ody so he knows he would be a good match for Penelope.
Probably the main reason why he stopped for some time was because he wanted his baby to be close to him and it wasn't the best way to seduce people hahaha
Hermes: Hi beautiful, looking for some fun?
Baby Ody: Dad? Are you "Zeusing" again?
Hermes:...How about we go for some nice (Pg12) Ice cream instead?
Does Hermes change after the entire Ody situation or does he still sleep regularly with mortals?
He stops for like a few years but then 100% starts up again
