#Penelope

[creativeconjurations]

It is incredible that a goofy guy like Mr. Jalapeno inflicted this trauma on all of us.

“Would fall in love with me again if you knew all I’ve done?”

WHO SAID THAT

🎶 Deep down I would trade the world to see my son and wife🎶

Kind of obsessed your honor 😑

[raven-at-the-writing-desk]

This is kinda silly but any ideas on why Idia’s last name is Shroud? I only have one idea that connects to the Greek mythology aspect, and it’s that it is a reference to the Odyssey and how Penelope weaves a shroud to stall the suitors, but I would love to hear your thoughts on it!

The shroud Penelope wears is an interesting theory considering Idia’s own social anxiety 🤔 He has trouble in face-to-face communication and appears remotely via his tablet. Idia also cannot speak comfortably in-person without obscuring his face with a helmet or mask (in the case of his Halloween and Masquerade costumes), sometimes even opting to use his own inventions just to get out of public speaking. For example, he has to give a presentation on his research in book 5, but ends up making a device that allows him to simulate his speaking voice by typing in what he wants to say.

"Shroud" may also refer to the cloth that cover the face of the deceased in ancient Greek funeral rites. This helps to prepare the body and the spirit to pass into the Underworld, which is, of course, ruled over by the God of the Dead, Hades--the same character that Idia is twisted from.

Someone else proposed that the Shroud surname is potentially a reference to The Shroud, a fairy tale by the Brothers Grimm. In some versions, the title is The Burial Shirt or The Little Shroud, the latter of which is exactly how Malleus refers to Ortho.

The Shroud tells the tale of a mother who loses her 7-year old child (an age which is close to when Ortho died). She is so taken by her grief that she weeps every day. Then one day the ghost of her deceased child visits her and asks her to please stop crying, for her tears weigh down his shroud and prevents him from sleeping peacefully. Only when the mother dries her tears does the story come to its conclusion. The Shroud reads like an extended metaphor for coming to accept the passing of a loved one, which has obvious parallels with Idia coming to terms with his own family member’s death.

Telemachus and the Plow

[Ulysses [Odysseus] yoked an ox and a horse or an ass to the plough and sowed salt. While he was busy fertilizing the fields in this fashion, the Greek envoys arrived, and Palamedes, seeing through the deception, laid the infant son of Ulysses in front of the plough whereupon the father at once checked the plough and betrayed his sanity.]

This is cannon you can't convince me otherwise

So there’s this cursed Odypen I did when Ithaca saga just came out. I think it was too cursed to post so I didn’t. But today I realized there is nothing too cursed for this platform apparently.

[thhouseofblack]

the problem with odysseus as a character is that he has chemistry with every other character that exists:

Diomedes, Menelaus, Agamemnon? Yes.

Eurylochus, Polites, Poseidon? Also, yes.

Penelope, Circe, Helen? ALSO YES.

you're just forced to write him as this guy that everyone wants to fuck.

@someones-here-for-sure @justalunaticfangirl

Odypen yuri.

Closeups

[tired0artist]

Once a year, Penelope orders for a painter to come and make a painting of Telemachus.

So when Odysseus finally returns, there’s a gallery of 20 paintings, showing how year after year, Telemachus grew into the young man he was now.

In some of them, Telemachus is dressed properly as a prince of Ithaca. In others, he is doing some of his daily activities (reading, playing with Argos, writing, playing the lyre), as the painter came around so often that the prince stopped caring to pose for an entire day in an uncomfortable attire.

There is one, that Odysseus finds himself staring at the longest.

It’s the twelfth painting. Where Telemachus is accompanied by his mother.

The young boy sits at her side, as she carefully teaches him to weave. It was painted in their room, as a part of the olive tree that is their bed, is also captured in the back.

Odysseus sobs, and thanks his wife for bringing the lost years in such a beautiful form to him.

Even years after his return, the King often is found in the small gallery, watching his son slowly grow with each step.

(I love this family your honour)

This is how men who love their wife want to be treated and I'm here for it 👍🏽

wdym this isn’t how “would you fall in love with me again” went????

[emmikay]

Odysseus: My darling wife, I’ve been away for so long- But I got you a present!

Penelope: A present? For me?

Penelope, shaking the box: Oh, I hope it’s the suitor’s heads. Oh, please, please be the suitor’s heads.

(heads spill onto the floor)

Penelope: How did you know!?

[toxictoad]

Okay okay okay

Silly High School AU where Odypen are childhood sweethearts who become teachers at the same school. Odysseus teaches government and Penelope teaches home ec. Agamemnon is the principal. Achilles is a student teacher who keeps getting in fights with the him but somehow he's not fired. Diomedes is the hot computer tech and Odypen get into a competition over who can get him to come to class more because of "computer problems" (They just keep unplugging things and acting like confused old people). Telemachus is a student and is constantly embarrassed by his parents

[myassuter]

I gonna redesign Penelope someday.
