Athena: Odysseus are you okay?

Odysseus rested his head on the table, exhausted, partially dehydrated, and blushing. He let out a loud yawn as the two gods invited themselves into his kitchen for a visit.

Odysseus: Penelope and I have been... Reclaiming the missed twenty years together and although I've been wanting this day since trying to return... I am out of energy.

Athena: I'm kind of confused what could you two be doing that is leaving you this drained?

Hermes (exasperated): Athena... they're Hades and Persophone when she returns from her required mom vacations.

Athena (blushing): Oh... Oh! Odysseus you poor human soul!

Odysseus: I'm not complaining, it's just she keeps asking for it and I can't say no to her. Not that I would. I... Love her so much... And how gentle she can be. Usually she's rough, but I don't want to wake our sweet son. You know?

Hermes: Yeah... I remember a summer with so many nymphs... Oh and my kid was sweet to spend time with.

Odysseus: Is it odd I enjoy when she gets on top of me and takes charge?

Hermes: My word, you're going to get a long so well with Hera.

Athena blushed pointing at the sky to stop her father from eavesdropping further.

Athena: I feel like a woman dying of thirst watching another man drown.

Hermes (eating toast): You're a maiden, dear.

Athena: A goddess gets bored and half of the demigods are my siblings.

Odysseus: When has that stopped... Any of you?

Hermes: That's my grandson.

I HATE YOU

I HATE YOU BECAUSE YOUR AU IS STUCK IN MY HEAD >:(

I CAN'T GET OVER YOUR INCREDIBLE CONCEPT OF SWAPPING GODS WITH MORTALS

I'M SO ANGRY AT YOU FOR MAKING SMTH SO GOOD >:(

(/affectionately ofc)

(thank you ❤️) *blinks innocently* actually this was so random, but since you guys liked it, have some more

For now there are only the main 6, I didn't really plan to include their children because it's too much thinking and we don't do that in this household (⁠・⁠∀⁠・⁠)" As for the others, have a look :3 ⬇️

So, they all escaped from Cronos and destroyed his home, stealing a middle sized boat to sail away... with zero knowledge on navigation. Absolutely genius. The only thing that saved them was was god!Odysseus' favor, who directed the boat to land

Ah also they fled too fast to know whether Cronos actually died in the fire or not, so they're kinda in a haste to get as far away as possible

Now we have a group of lads and gals, who hardly ever lived in the outside world, trying to survive. What could go wrong? Everything. Buddies don't even know how to hunt. Heck they don't even know how to communicate properly (remember Telemachus' stabbing incident)

AND YEAH POLYPHEMUS ⬇️

I kinda thought if this is reverse, then it has to be reverse for everyone... So Polyphemus here is just a bit of an unfortunate child who eventually grows into a total MENACE (c'mon Poseidon raised him)

✨ Ody and Penelope just looking at the 6 bring chaos wherever they go and considering what to do with them

If you have any questions feel free to ask!! Me always forgets details

Does cloudysseus even still like Zeus after he was going to get rid of him?

Cloudy loves his papa, even when his papa doesn't seems to care of him. But he cares, in his way. He's just his being Zeusy.

[theblindgoddess]

(emerges from the bushes with a megaphone)

CONSIDER THIS

SO YOU KNOW HOW IN PJO, ATHENA'S KIDS ARE ALL JUST THE LIVING EMBODIMENT OF HER APPRECIATION AND ADMIRATION OF SOME MORTALS INTELLIGENCE AND/OR CREATIVITY?

IF WE APPLY THIS MECHANIC TO EPIC THE MUSICAL, WE COULD GET AN AU IN WHICH AT SOME POINT DURING THE TEN YEARS IT TAKES ODYSSEUS TO GET HOME, ATHENA SHOWS UP ON ITHACA WITH A BABY ALL LIKE "I was moping about the last conversation i had with your husband and accidentally made this, here you go." AND THEN HAND SAID BABY TO PENELOPE BEFORE DISAPPEARED JUST AS FAST AS SHE APPEARED.

(throws the megaphone as a distraction and retreats into the bushes again)

[telemy]

I just realised i forgot to post this 😭🙏

Me when i don't want to kill some random mortal kid bc he seems cool and silly asf

[v10l3tz-thmblr]

And hello once again!! Its nearly February 15 here for me but!! Here's a little valentines art piece I was able to finish!

Awwwe look at them! 🥹 So happy and cute, I hope one of them doesnt go to war for 10 years and takes another 10 just to get home!!!

Neo design revamp, might still change idk yapping below (plus extra doodles of him)

This isn't him at 13 it's about 23 ish. I've been writing an au about him and Telemachus. Basically the idea is after the Trojan war instead of Neo getting his shit rocked he keeps his head low and lives abandoning his name and reputation as Achilles son, tired of living in Achilles shadow and becomes a little street rat til he ends up in Ithaca, meeting Telemachus, lying about his heritage and becoming Telemachus' personal guard

Other little outfit concepts. Him normal, him disheveled and tired and him fancy. Cause I was bored.

Made his hair redder and curlier then I usually draw him. I really like the idea his hair is super unruly, it was mostly straight when he was young but as hes gotten older it's gotten darker and curlier.

Design details w him, he's nearly identical to my Achilles design face shape wise especially his eyes. Except while Achilles has no scars he has A LOT. His hair is curlier and more unkempt, redder. He has a pendant from thetis that he rarely wears because, y'know, hiding his identity. And wears under eye makeup and sometimes eyeshadow, not understanding why people think it's feminine.

This is 99% epic the musical based and the other 1 percent is the Illiad and TSOA. Idk if I'm ever gonna post the fic? It means a lot to me but idk if I'll finish it.

Open Starter!

Ten years.

Astyanax had spent all ten years of his life on a ship, heading to a place he knew next to nothing about. His dad, Odysseus, told him stories of his family on those foreign shores…Penelope and Telemachus.

Ten years seemed to drag by slowly, but regardless, they were home.

Home wasn’t exactly what he thought it’d be, though. He watched his dad end the lives of over a hundred men with morbid curiosity.

Even when all the suitors were gone, people still looked at him funny. Was it his eyes? The color of his skin? Did he do something wrong?

A lot of people didn’t seem to like him…but that was okay, he figured. Not everyone would.

So here he sits, on a stone by the sea, weaving his fifth flower crown of the day. He looks back on his life, wondering. Was he…really supposed to be here…?

[wukyma]

Me: oh, I have a little bit of free time, what shall I do?

30+ unanswered asks:

Unfinished stories:

Me: yeah perfect time for another AU

Anyway meet Reversed!EPIC where gods are humans and vice versa.

Short lore: gods are Chronos' (maybe an important king of some sort?) escaped children, really just a chaotic bunch who stole a ship and are trying to survive with like 0 (zero) knowledge about the world and 0 (zero) skills

Don't worry about Telemachus btw, they just threw a spear at him randomly (miscommunication core) and it somehow managed to land (he's immortal he's fine)

I THINK they would get high like in the first 20 seconds of being on the lotus eaters' island. (pls appreciate Zeus having a crisis) (and that's Hestia btw)

Aaand of course this was an excuse to draw more posepoli. HEAR ME OUT. Polites as Calypso. HEAR ME ✋ With Odysseus it was like "stay with me, be my man, never go back to your wife" and with human!Poseidon it would be like "stay with me (respectful), be my man (respectful) and for the love of gods, please stop trying to murder everything you think even remotely hostile towards you"

Sure enough Polites will have some tragic backstory :'D

Part 1 | Part 2

[jugganautism]

anyone remember my good ol' Circe!Polites AU? yeah, well, i'm bringing it back. quick lore rundown: polites dies and is revived by apollo then placed on the island where he takes on circe's role in epic esentially. however, he also loses pretty much all his memory

[notprometheus]

Penelope: Listen-

Ares: MOTHERFUCKER I TELL YOU TO BE YOURSELF AND YOU PROPOSE?

Penelope: Look, he’s actually kinda hot.

Ares: *Rubbing his eyes* Father give me strength. WHAT. THE. FUCK. WERE. YOU. THINKING?

Penelope: Well I kinda wasn’t.

Ares: ….Tell me your joking.

Penelope: No I’m not. I’m not saying it was a good idea but I think it’ll end well.

Ares: YOU DON’T KNOW THAT! THIS GUY COULD BE A TOTAL CREEP!

Penelope: But Odysseus isn’t!

Ares: BUT HE-…… his name is Odysseus?

Penelope: yeah? Why?

Ares: HAHAHAHAHAHAHA! Never mind, he’s fine.
