Thinking about how Telemachus has heard "You are just like your father" by so many people for most of his life. How different yet refreshing it is to hear said father tell him warmly "You're so much like your mother".

#Idk something about how he's just as much Penelope's son as he is Odysseus'. And how people just focus on his missing father #And Odysseus. the dad he's often compared to. says something entirely differnt.#Mad rambles #shot by odysseus #my headcanons #penelope of ithaca #telemachus #odysseus #idk I'm fightin a fever right now :') I'm very sure this isn't even grammatically correct but yahoo!#epic the musical #odyssey #the odyssey #tagamemnon #I don't plan to write Penelope comparing him much to his dad often. She only does so when Tele wants/needs to hear it.#She realizes “okay. you're trying too hard to be in your dad's shadow. you're Telemachus first. you're our legacy second.”#he's still affected by others' talk though ;~; (grandparents used to call him the wrong name and such
