Hey there Sôteira, you doing well?

*Pallas enters wearing a sparkling, purple dress*

@the-goddess-pallas

*Athena was in her human form with a red dress, and is trying to hide the mountain of presents, even if it was a bad attempted*

Doing better now that your here, what about you?

[lethia-not-athena]

hello there, ath- um. lethia, is it?

would you like to hear a song?

–@apollo-god-of--like--everything

"Oh! Well, if it's not a huge bother... I guess I wouldn't mind. Thank you for offering, sir."

I'm solely making Athena call all her brother's Sir so that when she gets her memories back the teasing will be AWFUL

Homer!Odysseus and Epic!Odysseus would try to kill each other if they ever met

I now desperately await your Athena reveal so I can properly imagine them pointing and laughing at epel biting the shit out of vargas' ankles

Here the update 😌

Sooo Ody, how did that scar on your eyebrow happen again?

Odysseus of Troy AU

Inspired by the Warrior!Penelope AU, @maggie44paint's Malewife Menelaus AU & @theblindgoddess + DaughterOfDungeonBat's Penelope of Troy AU.

So instead of Helen, Paris chooses Odysseus, thinking he's the safer option because he's just the king of small, barren Ithaca & super smart. Baby Telemachus is also spirited away as extra leverage.

Paris thinks he's being cunning, hoping this choice can somewhat ease Athena's wrath as well.

At first, Athena is furious....but then she gives the go-ahead for 3 reasons.

Odysseus will give Paris hell.

Hera will give Paris hell.

This one is important: Penelope will give Paris hell.

Paris tells himself he's doing Penelope a favour! Now she can find another, more powerful husband & have another kid with him. Plus, she's a woman with a tiny kingdom, it's not like she'll come knocking on Troy's walls.

Newsflash: a furious Penelope comes pounding on Troy's walls with a vengeance.

(Bonus if she isn't even being backed by Ares here. Oh no, all that unstoppable rage is 100% pure Penelope.)

In Olympus, Hera & Athena are cackling and high-fiving over a bucket of popcorn. In Troy, Ody is going full Mission Impossible, being a monster (rawr rawr rawr) to Paris, mapping out servant passages, calculating how much cloth it'll take to make a long enough rope & hoarding tiny paper scraps and crumbs for bird feeding.

He goes all: Yes, I need more clothes. It's not my fault my clothes keep ripping. *wink wink*. Oh, I'm not supposed to be here? Silly me, I'm hopeless without Athena's wisdom now! Look at the cute birdie, little wolf! *slips a message onto them while his son's buried under feathers*

Athena is very proud of her master liar.

Bonus:

Hector & Ody ironically become good friends because they're both dads and loving husbands. Hector tells himself he will NOT get attached to the man who's singlehandedly screwed him, his family & Troy over......only to pat the guy's back as he sobs for the nth time over missing his wife. It's hard not to empathize with him & feel a little sorry for the kid who doesn't even remember his mom.

And maybe when Hector senses that the end is coming, he & Andromache ask Ody to take Astyanax with him. He won't have a future in Troy, but it's better than no future, period.

Thus, Penelope returns to Ithaca with her family one member bigger than before.

Hello. I love your Poseidon design! I wanted to ask, how tall is Poseidon? Since he’s the tallest according to you. Love your work💙

Hi, and thank you!

I don't think there's an easy answer. Basically, my gods don't have a definitive height to them; they can change as they please, but, just like their overall appearance, they choose what feels most comfortable and natural to them (which slightly varies each time, so i can't tell you specific numbers).

[That said, for example Zeus could be bigger if he wanted to, but chooses not to, since being smaller feels right to him; Poseidon himself doesn't like getting any smaller in humanoid form because he gets naseous when he tries to, and he's used to being the tallest his whole life.]

This applies no matter if they're massive or more human-like.

I have no artwork, but i made a silly sketch to demonstrate some of this idea better:

I hope this answers your question!

*Knock knock*

@the-goddess-pallas (Nooooooo I didn't forget about this blog)

Hi love

(I kinda just forgots)

[lethia-not-athena]

ooooh i love this auuuu :333

TYSM!!!

How is this dumb idea getting any traction!? All I did was come up with a dumb Idea I liked and now I've gotten a bunch of people invested. I totally have to make my own small list of things about my AU, probably a side thing outside of my RP's

[wyrmswears]

I know I just got you to draw athena cykes like 2-3 weeks ago on accident but hear me out. what if. you drew athena cykes

of course<3 have some tired thenas

i know shes often characterised as avoiding work and rather carefree when it comes to her responsibilities but like. this is the kid that is a licensed lawyer and qualified psychologist at 18 years old. shes a workaholic. get her a nap. stat.

[rakiah]

OMG I LOVE LOVE HOW YOU INCORPORATES PARTS OF GENERAL LILIA’s design, like the green thorned axe and the long ponytail in the helmet

HES SO PRETTY

some random guesses: is Silver Diomedes? I thought he might be Achilles at first because of “blessing in infancy” common trait but i remembered Achilles was too young. THEN recalled that Diomedes was also favored by Athena

My hypothetical money is on Sebek or Crowley for Zeus lmao i tried to come up with guesses for God Games but there were too many permutations and combinations 😵‍💫

Thank you!! o(≧▽≦)o It is a very fun challenge to mix the original design of the twst characters with the usual symbols of their assigned god. Like, it’s not quite visible here on Lilia, but there is an olive branch pattern on his thin tinted top!

And well done! Silver is Diomedes! :D

At least, Athena!Lilia has one of his canon sons as protégé lol

New here so idk if you've discussed this before but what do you think about the judo flip scene.. because I've seen some who consider to be a bit toxic some who adore it so what's you pov on it?

Love ya

I’ve always loved that scene; it’s actually one of my favorites. And here’s the thing: I agree that Annabeth’s reaction was overly aggressive. It was not a normal or healthy way to react. But I do not, in any way, believe it indicates that she is abusive.

Annabeth wasn’t trying to hurt Percy, and she didn’t hurt him. Demigods are much more durable than regular humans and have a much higher pain tolerance. And she knows exactly what that limit is for him, since they’ve fought and sparred together for so many years. Additionally, Annabeth thought that Percy was still invulnerable at the time and couldn’t physically get hurt. And if you’re still skeptical, look at Percy’s response. He didn’t show any signs of pain, fear, or upset. He wasn’t angry or confused either. He laughed. With affection. In no way did he feel actually threatened by her. Percy understood that her actions came from her being overwhelmed by her emotions. After all, Annabeth hadn’t seen her boyfriend for eight months. Percy is the only constant in her life, the one person who makes her feel safe and loved. Annabeth had spent months worrying and not sleeping, only to find Percy completely fine, even better than fine. Although she logically knew it wasn’t his fault, her emotions took over. Initially she reacted as a girlfriend by kissing him. But then, as her adrenaline surged, she instinctively responded like his sparring partner, a role she slips into when she’s pit against him for practice. Her feelings made her flip out a little, but this emotional reaction was a one-time thing, not a pattern of behavior. Percy was perfectly fine, and the scene reflects a moment of emotional release, not abuse.

So let me restate this so I can be very clear. No, judo flipping percy was not a normal way to react. It was overly aggressive. However, it doesn’t indicate that Annabeth is abusive. She was overwhelmed by her emotions and her fight-or-flight response kicked in, which really shouldn’t surprise people. She’s a demigod with PTSD who’s been raised as a child solider. (An extremely traumatized 16 year old child who’s been heartbroken and under emotional distress for 8 months straight didn’t handle her emotions well??Wow! What a shocker! Let’s all go call her toxic and abusive!)

Percy didn’t get hurt or have any negative emotions towards the event. He was fine, she was fine, and it never happened again. They consistently make each other feel very safe and loved.

Can people go try and pick apart a different relationship? Maybe one that actually is toxic?
