(Epic the musical universe)

Epic!Penelope: Okay, you have been beating yourself up over all your choices during your journey home. How about you tell me every choice you did and I will tell you if it was dumb or not.

Epic!Odysseus: Sounds fair. Alright, let’s start with… (explains events of Troy Saga)

Epic!Penelope: Well I don’t really see any mistakes there. The gods told you to do it and even explained how there were no alternatives. The only real mistake was not asking more about the cave. What else?

Epic!Odysseus: (explains the Cyclops saga)

Epic!Penelope: Okay, (thinking) so I don’t think you not killing the cyclops was dumb. It was blinded sure, but it killed several of your guys already. You would have risked more men to do it. You said it yourself, there were more cyclopses. Your first mistake was saying your real name. Your second was yelling at Athena.

Epic!Odysseus: That’s fair. (Storm Saga)

Epic!Penelope: And you didn’t know it was Eurylochus who opened it? I’d say that you didn’t make any mistakes. This was your crew being treasonous.

Epic!Odysseus: (explains Circe Saga)

Epic!Penelope: Aside from the risk of fighting Circe. You resisted her wiles. That’s bonus points for you if anything.

Epic!odysseus: (Explains Underworld saga)

Epic!Penelope: Yea that prophet was cryptic as the underworld itself. You should have made him clarify if possible.

Epic!Odysseus: (Explains Thunder Saga)

Epic!Penelope: Okay so sacrificing some men to Scylla sounds bad… but your mistake wasn’t ensuring Eurylochus was holding a torch. You could have avoided all of that if he wasn’t around. They also caused a mutiny. Your choice was justified.

Epic!Odysseus: It was still awful though… but that does make me feel a bit better. (Explains VENGEANCE Saga)

Epic!Penelope: No errors there. If anything. That’s bonus points. I want details on that last part later.

Epic!Odysseus: And you already know about the suitors. No regrets there. I just wish they suffered more.

Epic!Penelope: Well to be honest out of everything based on what you said. You really only made two mistakes. I would say the only other mistake was not letting Eurylochus tell you the truth earlier. But that’s more his fault.

Epic!Odysseus: It still haunts me

Epic!Penelope: Well, you won’t be haunted alone. (Holds his hand)

Based on the fanart I drew months ago

[sysiheart]

Odysseus playing a guitar ANGRILY at his wife

Penelope playing a violin EVEN MORE ANGRILY at her husband

[padfoot-lupin77]

Odysseus: and what did we learn today, class?

Crew: ruthlessness is mercy upon ourselves.

Odysseus: that’s right

Crew: You killed some of our comrades and you’re a danger to us too. So we must be ruthless and kill you to protect ourselves

Odysseus: no NOT like that WAIT no!!

[haley-harrison]

the girlies when overthinking the implications of Love in Paradise

and Ody's traumas in general

[desos-records]

just now realizing that in Warrior of the Mind when Odysseus and Athena are asking for each other's names, Odysseus correctly identifies her as Athena and says all this complementary stuff, but never actually tells her his name. oh, my man of many turns, you were right: selfish and prideful and vain, vain above all

[howmuchishayworth]

We gotta talk about how when Penelope sees Odysseus she says his eyes look TIRED. Keep in mind, his eyes are now red, the eyes he got once he became the monster, but Penelope doesn’t see that, instead she says that his eyes look tired, bc that’s what she sees.

Me: trying to live my life

My brain: 🎶 Penelope ~why~? you know I’m too ~shy~ 🎶🥰😘🥰🥺🥹

[roseofithaca]

Headcanon that post-Epic Odysseus has to get used to saying his wife's name in a normal voice once he's back home.

Odysseus: 🎶 Penelopeeeeeee.... 🎶

Odysseus: I'm just going down to the market, do we need anything?

[tazabel]

Draco Malfoy: "Wait until my father hears about this!" Draco Malfoy: is a spoiled little brat

Polyphemus: tells his father Polyphemus: his father tells the guy who blinded him he should have killed him

Telemachus: "Is my father dead or can't he just get home?" Telemachus: wait until his father hears about this

[gale-gentlepenguin]

Epic!Odysseus: My journey home was long and arduous because I was not willing to be ruthless and the weight of my sins clouded my mind until I became a monster.

Homer!Odysseus: My journey was long and arduous because my men were f***ing idiots.

Epic!odysseus: Actually that was also part of that reason. Did Poseidon have it out for you? Cause he killed most of my crew.

Homer!Odysseus: He did send a storm near the end of my journey when I was heading to Ithaca, but that wasn’t that much of an issue. but aside from that he really wasn’t that much involved. It was actually Zeus that had it in for us, but mostly cause what I said before, my men were idiots!

Epic!Odysseus: Wow, you had to fight Zeus?! I had to one v one Poseidon and stab him with his own trident to get him to finally f*** off. How did you get Zeus off your back?

Homer!Odysseus: YOU DID WHAT TO POSEIDON!?!?

I’m Not Sorry For Loving You (wip!)

[sysiheart]

Epic au where penelope leaves to look for ody and Suffering is just them testing if the other is a siren

[ditoob]

Luck Runs Out but ANIMATED! It's finally doneeee

Here's the link to the full video:

Hilarious that in God Games, when Apollo mentions the sirens, Athena's like "Now they'll thread with caution first, to live another day and sing another verse."

Um. Bestie.... They're dead.

Pretty sure they won't do that (or anything else, lmao).
