Okay so I've been thinking about @nonbinarylocalcryptid Astyanax lived/daddy odysseus au. Which is some good shit in general. Yall should check it out. But specifically I'm think about what it would be like for this child to grow up on calypso's island. He would have been what ? 3-10 there??

#The odyssey #Odysseus #Astyanax #daddy odysseus au #@nonbinarylocalcryptid's au #Obvious this kid has nothing but trauma all day every day #It is the odyssey #And the whole adopted dad killed my whole family sacked my city thing #And his only role model is odysseus and various monsters #So I imagine he's a very bitter sassy child who hates the gods #But I also think it would be a very hard way to grow up #Watching your only contention to the world even if he did kill everyone else being dragged away from you every night #Finding him every morning sobbing on the beach #Idk man I'm just having a lot of feelings about Astyanax feeling bitter and helpless #And for years not knowing what was going on #Maybe calypso even used him in the early years made him apart of her schemes #And then having a realization of what's going on when he's around 9/10 #I'm imagining he and odysseus had a convo about his orgins when he was 7/8 #So basically everybody's having a bad time
