#Telemachus is dead.

[moonlitenvyillust]

Sooooooo i decided that this can be a good source of practice before i actually pull out a fic of my own AUs. So...

Warnings: murder, Gore, blood, Canon typical violence, temporary fourthwall break, Telemachus being a boyfailiure i love him, Odysseus being the monster rawr rawr rawr, oops Tele is dead now hehe! unreliable narrator me yada yada angst idk spelling mistakes abuse of italics English isnt my first language you know the drill

Anyways, I Will not pay for therapy and i will drink your tears as Vodka for my religion forbids me to drink actual alcohol.

Summary: Ody goes monster rawr rawr rawr and didnt know that Tele was his son and kills him accidentally mistaking him for a suitor. Idk

╰┈┈୨✦୧┈┈╯

The palace lights was off when Telemachus docked his ship.

He had suspected something happened. Athena had warned him not to dock in the usual place, telling him to sail to the more secluded side of the island. This just proved his intuition.

Athena had left a while ago in such urgency Telemachus had not seen ever since his mother needed to talk to some representatives about trade routes and stuff.

Mother...

He has to go back as fast as he could

Dissmissing the crew, Telemachus grabs his spear and ran into the palace. Athena isnt there with him, but who cares? If he dies atleast its protecting his mother.

No why is he thinking about death now? Time to focus Telemachus.

Blood... Telemachus had always hated blood.

Wherever it is that is not inside of someone's body, it always brings horrifying news.

So walking into the smell and sight of blood all over the palace Walls and bodies of the suitors laying dead on the ground, that puts Telemachus into what-the-actual-fuck-happened mode.

Slipping through the bodies of the suitors, Telemachus finds one in particular catching his eyes

"Antinous..."

The suitor well, now late suitor that is seemed to have a whole arrow stuck up his neck. Well deserved whoever killed him, Telemachus owes him his thanks. That asshole had been a pain in his arse for much too long

Huh, when did his internal monologue get so vulgar? Eh, who cares. Now who is he even talking to?! Oooh what noise is that?

•

Odysseus can almost hear a ship being docked on the shores of ithaca. Who even returns so late at night? But who is he to care right now. There's pigs running away from their pigsty and he needs to them all up.

One by one. He takes down the filth in the palace. That is, untill the door to the room he was certain he locked opened itself

A decently young... Person, comes in. Odysseus lurks in the shadows. Not making a single noise. He cant seem to guess the gender of this new intrusion. But whoever he is, if he wants to get to his wife... They will die

Not a Palace soldier, Odysseus decided. Thats not how their armour looks like. Not a maid, they wear too much expensive jewelery for that.

Odysseus grabs an Arrow. The slight noise startling the intruder

"who's there?!"

Odysseus doesnt answer. Even when he Heard the intruder's voice, he couldnt really guess their gender. But the intruder spots him. This person should be a pretty smart warrior for their age the king thought.

"who are you? What did you do?"

Odysseus doesnt put down his bow. But he so speaks "i am here to get to Penelope" hearing that, the intruder seems to tense. Holding onto their spear

╰┈┈୨✦୧┈┈╯

"i will not let you touch her..."

Odysseus doesnt answer. He just lets his Arrow fly. The intruder didnt have enough time. He dies with an Arrow to the throat.

Where the hell is Telemachus?

Thats the question on Athena's mind. Where is her little warrior of the mind? She left aburply to make sure Penelope is safe. And she returns to-

Oh no...

Oh fuck no...

@kamiko1234 here is your (this is an unfinished accidentally posted draft) of the idea you have me where in post i commented on. I tried

God that took longer than it should have. Anyways idea by and special thanks to my bestie irl who doesnt have Tumblr for giving me motivation to do this in the form of a bet

And also @Stella Luna on YouTube's ASTONISHING Odysseus animation that gave me an idea of how Telemachus' life would end. Sorry my favourite child you gotta suffer.

This part of We’ll Be Fine has a death grip on me, I love that little guy and so does Athena I think

[insomniphic]

Part 1 (Highly suggested)

Long awaited part 2!

I couldn't fit all 759 voices/circles/squiggles in the last panel :(

Geez Odysseus, if I can't fit all of them in a square box, then just how exactly loud are those screams?

[backpackingspace]

Penelope: Hey husband I need you to pretend to be dead for a little bit okay?

Odysseus: What why?

Penelope: Well there's a guy out there who wants to give me free stuff so...

Odysseus: ohhh you're scamming someone. Of course I'll pretend to be dead my love! Want me to kill him afterwards?

Pov: You, waiting 7 years for this idiot to get out of Ogygia

It's should have been a reference of my design for Poseidon, but at some point it all went wrong and now I have a bunch of sketches where Telemarket befriended Poseidon like Hiccup befriended Toothless from 'How to Train Your Dragon'

[sadnessunderthebridge]

Telemachus and Odysseus at some point

Telemachus: And then the goddess Athena appeared and helped me fight one of the suitors!

Odysseus: That's nice Telem- Wait you did what?! ATHENA!

[mythweaverarts]

Telemachus: I know we'll be fine!

Athena in the next song: fucking dies

[justvea18]

I love how different Telemachus is in the Odyssey compared to EPIC because in the Odyssey he is just

Telemachus: yeah, but what if my "father" is really dead

Athena: omfg just get on with your journey

[raointean]

A happy ending! 😊

[therainbowwillow]

I love Epic The Musical very dearly but I do wish just a little bit that we’d gotten to watch Telemachus’s antics in Pylos. His gay awakening(?) over Pesistratus? Athena disguised as an old man?? Nestor and Menelaus?! HELEN! He really has a bewildering time away from Ithaca lol

[linesofink]

This one moment from the premiere but it's my designs.

[ritnya46]

Dead!Au

De qué trata esta tonta Su? Bueno, básicamente Antinous cumple el objetivo de matar a Telemachus y luego Odysseus lo mata a él (y el resto) antes de que los pretendientes puedan entrar en la habitación de Penélope.

Pero como ninguno de los dos tuvo un entierro no tienen monedas que darle a Caronte. Así que sí... Están atrapados, juntos.

¿Cómo? Ni idea ¿Por qué? Son las únicas personas que se conocen ahí ¿Dónde estarían? Me estás pidiendo demasiado.

[flesh-eating-squeegee]

Telemachus what did the suitors do to you?!!!

[letsplaythermalnuclearwar]

ok but can we talk how in Legendary, Antinous asked a question. he’s being as rude as possible but “when’s your tramp of a mother going to chose a new husband” is a question. a question that Telemachus does not want to answer. and yeah, the immediate follow up of “why don’t you open her room so we can have fun with her” makes it seem rhetorical, but rhetorical or not, it’s definitely a question. and I’ve always wondered why Telemachus is offended by ‘tramp’ when the ‘why don’t you open her room’ thing is a million times worse. 

But what if Telemachus wasn’t offended that Antinous called Penelope a tramp? The suitors have probably been saying stuff like that for ten years, he’s used to it. What if, more than anything else, Telemachus wanted to make them forget about the question they asked? What if he was just trying to distract them?

Imagine you can't make your sister like you for a thousand years BUT she randomly calls some mortal a "friend" in front of all of Olympus.
