Okay listen odysseus is ha! I was lying to you wasn't that funny rat bastard and penelope is no no I was telling the truth it's not my fault that you didn't catch the deliberate misinformation rat bastard

#the odyssey #epic the musical #odysseus #penelope #odypen #Odypen being 🥰🤝 rats bastards in love #Generally I am a if odysseus would do this so would penelope person #But also penelope does deserve to be her own person so I'm exploring her character more deeply #Odysseus: will lie to you about everything and to everyone #He does find it funny but #In the odyssey at least there's almost a boyish quality to it where five minutes later he bursts out laughing and has to brag about it #Verse penelope who isn't really lying #But she is spreading misinformation on purpose and leaving things out to make a trap #(Mostly for her and her families safety but I imagine she does it for fun too)#Odysseus is short term con penelope is long term #Telemachus is just enjoying having both parents home and being free from the suitors #He's a shy boy who has not yet grown into his rat bastardness but I imagine he will one day

Odysseus with his head in his wife's lap, happily not paying attention to anything, humming one of athenas song and carving something

Some random guy: your majesty----

Odysseus: not bothering to sit up: whatever my wife decided is fine.

#the odyssey #epic the musical #Odysseus #Penelope #Odypen #Post-canon my beloved #Odysseus tried to hold court exactly one time before he 1. Realized he's very out of date with everything and #2. Remembered that these meetings sucked so much #Odysseus then quickly climbed into his wife's lap and was like penelopes been ruling for 20 years she's got this #The first time someone tried to insist that it wasn't acceptable for penelope to answer ody nearly killed the guy #Nobody tried to force the issue after that #The only time odysseus sits up to contribute is to be like 'no no we can take that route now I killed the monster that lived there years ag #This is not to say he isn't listening and paying attention! He is! He's just scoping everybody's out #Noticing who's more pushy when they're trying to deal with penelope than they are with him #He's got twenty years of politics to catch up on! And he's going to be sneaky about it #Odysseus post return gaining a reputation for being uninvolved and uncaring only to pull the rug out from underneither the other person #Penelope is a okay with this for many many reasons #First off her system is one of beauty and the fact that her husband didn't spend all her hard work to take back over the second he came bac #Is rare and penelope is grateful everyday for who she married #Second she gets to show off look at how well she did odysseus look at how clever she is ody ody watch as I scam these people isn't that hot #(It is and yes of course odysseus was watching)#Penelope enjoying how odysseus lays out over her like a lazy lion #It scratches her possessive side to show him off like this and she gets to play with his hair #Telemachus attending some of these meetings to learn (tm) and spending the whole time deeply embarrassed #Odypen being 🥰🤝 rat bastards in love

Of course post-canon odysseus and penelope love each other (they are a little bit insane about the other. Neither is allowed to leave the others side for months after odysseus gets back. They cycle between sobbing on one and another and aggressively making out. ) but it's true that they have both changed. It's been twenty hard years after all. So

Odypen courting each other again just for the fun of it. Odypen deciding to act like teenagers again and make elaborate plans pretending to sneak into the others room.

Odysseus sending penelopes 90 year old dad a letter challenging him to a race for penelopes hand in marriage. (This does not go over well but penelope though it was hilarious)

Odysseus begging Athena to help him win penelopes heart/hand again. (Athena: What no why you're already married I don't understand you ) (she helps anyways)

Penelope weaving all of odysseus's clothes. Penelope hauling out every tapestry she made of telemachus's childhood (she made one for every year. To gift odysseus on his birthday when he returned.)

Odypen leaving telemachus incharge while they go off on dates (to harssass, cause problems, and badger other people into giving them things). It should be fine Athena has been sticking close to the house lately. And it's only for an afternoon anyways (at first. Headcanon that penelope came with odysseus when he had to go plant the oar and call it a windmill quest.)

#The odyssey #Post-canon my beloved #An important part of the heros journey is that even though you've changed irrevocably the home still loves you #Odysseus #Penelope #Telemachus #Athena #Odypen #Odysseus and penelope being 🥰🤝 rat bastards in love #Odypen mutually obsessed and possessive and insane about the other #Odypen age 50 deciding to act like teenagers for fun #Yes penelopes father did show up to the challenge odysseus set and then promptly beat his ass in a foot race #Yes this did cause a major diplomatic incident when he demanded penelope come back with him #(Hes never ever warmed up to odysseus and every day he mutters about his sweet penelope could have been athenas priestess instead)#(It took telemachus weeping at his grandpa about how he just got both parents for him to change his mind)#Odysseus: athenaaaa I've met the girl of my dreams and I need her to be mineeee #Athena: having flashbacks to odysseus at 17 and the complete distracted mess he was: what the fuck is happening #Athena: like obviously I'm going to help but I am also going to lay on telemachus's floor #And mutter about how this is just like last time? How could it be just like last time when they're already married #Not quite falling back in love but something close to it #Relearning perhaps #As always I'm having post odypen reunion thoughts #Odypen showing of diomedes doorstep in Italy and he just closes the door immediately he's not dealing with two odysseus not today

More of penelope and odysseus being rat bastards in love please. I know for a fact that these two were menaces to any neighboring kingdoms. They were pulling scams, they committed crimes, I know these two are just the most obnoxious people at a party.

#Odypen #odysseus x penelope #odysseus #penelope #Odysseus penelope being 🥰🤝 rat bastards in love #Banging pots and pans together they are mences straight up gremlins #I know for a fact that telemachus spends parties going I'm so sorry for them #No it's not my dad's trauma Athena says he's always been like that #Odypen dedicating everything they win/steal/scam to Athena so she finds this behavior funny #Not my phone correcting rat to rational 😭

Okay yes odysseus absolutely fumbled first meeting with penelope. He was an absolute goof. Tripping over himself, blushing, loosing games because penelope waved at him, getting caught mid lie ect ect

But have we considered penelope was equally a mess?

#Odypen #Odysseus #Penelope #the odyssey #epic the musical #Pre-canon shenanigans my beloved #Odypen being 🥰🤝 rat bastards in love #It's so important to me that odysseus and penelope remain equal on every level #Odysseus pulling off the poor bumpkin island king breaking into the private rooms of the Spartan family and getting caught #Penelope shrieking and chucking vase at odysseus's head #Odysseus: What do you want from the market I'll buy you anything #Penelope: how tf are you going to get me courting gifts aren't you broke?? You brought 3 gifts for Helen's hand #Odysseus: tripping and nearly falling on his sword bc penelope waved at him #Penelope tripping into her room and getting tangled inthe strings because she saw ody from her widow #Meet ugly my beloved #Listen listen I see so many things about odysseus being obsessed with penelope and penelope being the calm cool collected one #And that is not the case #They are the same person #Also I feel like teenagers in their first relationship are never graceful they are all goofs and that's how it should be #Let them be silly!!!#Odysseus: I need her to be mineeee Athena: fuck I need a break from this nonsense goes to see what penelope is doing #Penelope: weaving odysseus's face into a wedding dress athena: I don't know why I bother #Odysseus: going to pull a prank running into penelope trying to pull the same one

Odysseus: rolling on the floor doing an impeccable oh woe woe woe scene

Penelope: get up. I've changed my mind I didn't fucking miss you you heathen the floors still covered in blood

Odysseus: you're just mad that I beat you to the theater scene. You are aren't you

Penelope: grinding her teeth about to cry lying badly: NO

#The odyssey #Penelope #Odysseus #Odypen #odysseus x penelope #Odysseus penelope 🤝🥰 being rat bastards together #To be clear that is exactly why Penelope is upset #Everyday she and odysseus individual sat down a wrote a dramatic reconnect scene for 20 years #And odysseus beat her to it??? The one from last week would have been prefect OF COURSE that's why she's upset #Also side note love that fact that everybody in this family crys so easily love that for them what a good binding activity
