I have this interesting idea Siren Odysseus mixed with Warrior Au Penelope. The catch— Penelope is an Amazonian. How do you think that would work?
I don't think that would change too much for Penelope. Amazons are daughters of Ares and trained warriors.
Siren Ody on the other hand sounds interesting. I'm not sure if you mean Siren Ody as a siren encountered in the song "suffering" or Penelope who married a siren.
If you mean the song then nothing really would change. They still need information so Penelope would have to play along to lure sirens in.
If Penelope married a siren that could create an interesting conflict where Penelope respects direct honourable battle while Ody in his nature has avoiding it and using trickery instead.
It could also create a conflict where people expect Penelope to help them hunt down sirens but she can't force herself to do it.
Working on the second chapter of "Sing, O Muse, of Agony". New characters are introduced adding to building drama 🤭🫣
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
In addition to that Menelaus broke down crying when seeing Telemachus for how much he looked like Odysseus.
I find the "Telemachus in 'Odysseus' realising his father doesn't know what he looks like as an adult" jokes hilarious, but also, this is what Athena said when she met Telemachus for the first time:
how i imagine poseidon (who i believe can feel when people invoke not only his name but the ocean as well) reacted to hearing antinous plotting to kill telemachus and dump his body (parts) in the ocean
*up on olympus in apollo's infirmary*
poseidon: *recovering and enjoying peace after athena had left a day ago*
poseidon: *to himself* ahh finally some peac-
poseidon: *feels someone invoking the ocean*
poseidon: *focusing on who's saying it* who on gaia is...is that coming from ithaca...
poseidon: wait- ITHACA?!?
poseidon: *fully focuses now*
antinous: *in the ithacan palace*
antinous: cut him down into tiny pieces...
poseidon: *listening in full now* cut wh-
antinous: ...when the crown wonders where the prince is-
poseidon: the prince? yoU MEAN ODYSSEUS' SON?
antinous: only the ocean and i will know!
poseidon: *in full panic mode* OCEAN?!
poseidon: *now attempting to get out of bed in panic* HADES NO, I AM NOT INVOLVED WITH THIS I-
apollo: *coming to check on his uncle after hearing him shout*
apollo: uncle wh- *sees poseidon attempting to get out of bed*
apollo: *hurrying over to get him back in bed*
apollo: uncle calm down! you're gonna rip your stitches!
I can imagine Zeus giving cloud doggy to baby Ody because he wanted to prove to other gods that he's the best grandpa hahaha
Argos is best, Boi. Do you think Odysseus would still have him in this universe, or if he did, how did that come to be, and what's his role?
I don't know which one you are talking about???
In the eldritch au he has Argos as a companion and was a gift from Poseidon. (Odysseus is LONELY in this au. because of like reasons. *hids*)
in the god au. He has Argos who is a cloud doggie (gift from Zeus)
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.
WOMEN! QUEENS! BEAUTIES!!!!
FINALLY! I came up with a vague concept of the women of Sparta, my favourite one is Clytemnestra, I kind of like how she turned out and how she is different from her cousin and sister, I wanted her to be Extravagant, different,more and less traditional at the same time, just like my Hera( I always say that Agamemnon and Clytemnestra are just the earthly equivalent of Zeus and Hera, change my mind)
Especially when in my mind each of them are associated with goddesses that started the whole war
Penelope-Athena
Helen-Aphrodite
Clytemnestra -Hera
bonus some fancy hairstyles for Hera that she will interchange because she can (and I can't decide)
What is your favorite Creepypasta?
What's your take on how Ody would teach the campers at Camp half blood?
My favourite creepypasta is probably Candle Cove. I also really like the series of "Abandoned by Disney"
I think Ody would be the type of teacher who guides students to the solution but he won't straight up explain it (especially in things revolving tactics). He is more precise when it comes to physical training.
I listened to a lot of creepypastas as a teen. I know only the basics about scp and some of those creatures. (I also played "SCP: The Endurance" which is a fun mix of fnaf and scp)
I'm not sure about the Murphy law thing. I think in the only scenario it would work would be if Eris was causing it when people refused to tell her where Ody escaped or where he's hiding. Because of it she would cause some minor mischief/bad luck out of pettiness
Penelope always takes care of her adorable husband and he always makes happy noises or is grooming her hair (also decorating it with his feathers)
Hedgehogs are just cute little guys who want to be left alone and Ody relates to that.
If you think about it epic could easily be turned analog horror series.
So, as for god Odysseus do you have any fun facts about it or at least more of how their cults work?
I'm not well versed with analog horrors (I'm a bigger fan of creepy pasta/books/movies) so I can't say much about the first part.
And for god Odysseus:
- He invented wind chimes (as a source of comfort and also a simple alarm), people attach it to the window of the rooms that they want Odysseus to protect the most (like a child's bedroom), it also works as a basic alarm since trying to break in would make a noise (the wind chimes that are made as a sign for Odysseus have a hawk feather attached to it)
- His first temple was built in Ithaca by Ctimene.
- When he met Diomedes for the first time he pretended to be human to not startle the teen but he didn't realise that the young soldier was attracted to him. (Ody is super oblivious to courting until someone says bluntly what they want/feel)
- Eris is obsessed with Odysseus. She is in love with him and at first she tries to arrange the marriage between them by getting blessings from Hermes and Zeus. Hermes instantly refused and Zeus only refused because Hermes demanded it. She always chases after him and he escapes. It would be a symbol of how you don't feel safe in places full of discord and vice versa.
- Also there would be more than one myth mentioning Eris trying to be with Odysseus (In a similar way we have more than one myth about Apollo's bad luck with lovers)
- Ody chirps and makes bird noises when happy/sad/startled
- Because he was working too much (and because Ares got mad that many conflicts were stopped) Hypnos was ordered by Zeus to make Ody narcoleptic. Now Ody takes a few naps during the day.
- he gave the hedgehog its spikes. The small animal was often bullied by other creatures which made Ody sad, especially since the little being was always playing with it. Hedgehog originally had a very soft fur, it also explained how it was too scared to bite someone. And so when a satyr was using a hedgehog as a pillow to take a nap, Ody turned the fur on the back into spikes, harming satyr and scaring him away.
- bow is his special tool that he uses for his domain. The arrows when hit by someone will send a jolt/shiver that is a silent warning from upcoming danger (explaining idea of "sixth sense"/"sensing danger(having a bad feeling about something)")
Poseidon just being a jealous little pretty fish God, owww, you want kisses too cutie thing? *Smooch smooch in forehead and cheeks*
—🌺🦊
Yeah no, you got the wrong Poseidon to smooch and even got him angry, you mistook my friend's one with mine😭
But yeah he does get jealous and rightfully mad if you worship others and you mistake him for others
