As I've said before, if I'm hyperfixated on my boy Mauve, y'all are gonna have to deal with it.

This is around 3 years after Espio left in the au, I just want wholesomeness 😔😔

Original tiktok is here !!

Oh and this is how the lil guy came to be, its canon, I said so /silly

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.

So how many times do you think a drunken Athena has gone to visit the family, only to realize they're all dead?

Do you think she sits in the ruins of the Ithacan palace while drunkenly crying for her friends?

I wonder who has to bring her back to Olympus when this happens. Maybe Hermes, considering Odysseus was his family. They both just sit in the ruins while Athena tells him stories in her intoxicated state.

And Hermes listens to them all, trying to coax his sister to start going home to get some proper sleep, because he knows she hasn't had that in so long.

Just a thought.

*I don't look like I'm from this era. I'm wearing a blue T-shirt and jeans, not the "normal" clothes for a girl my age for the time. I'm looking around, clearly trying to figure out where I am. He does think I'm familiar though, with my dark hair and sea green eyes, I look a lot like Posiden. I spot him and my eyes widen slightly.*

- @thatposidengirly -

“Oh!” Astyanax toddles over, holding a bunch of flowers in his hands. At this point, he’s around nine years old, still on Calypso’s island with Odysseus. “Hi there! I’m Astyanax! Who’re you?”

I remember this one post that circulated Tumblr talking about Cassandra and Odysseus meeting each other, and Cassandra explaining her curse where everything she prophesizes comes true but nobody believes her, so Odysseus just tells her, “I’m nobody,” before asking her for a prophecy to circumvent her curse. Think you’d be able to take that concept and run with it as a writing prompt?

"Tell me."

"O-" His name cracks in her throat as Cassandra reminds herself. She cannot speak his name, otherwise he will be that person. "Nobody," she says. "You're hurting me."

His grip eases slightly, but does not pull away entirely. She cannot blame his panic or his rage, considering what the ghost of the greatest prophet said, but fear still flutters in her. Despite her attempts and the workaround, things had still gone wrong.

"Tell me," he repeats again.

Cassandra manages a nod and focuses briefly.

Red, red, red everywhere...

A lovely woman's face scrunching up to reveal a monster...

"Choose."...

"ATTACK THE PRINCE!"

"You have been changed by this," she says, the future swirling around and making her head ache. Or it may be the Styx itself, staring her down, waiting for the chance to enact Apollo's curse. "And will be changed by this. The man you were when you left for my home will not come home to the waiting woman."

But there was joy. Contentment.

He pauses as the suitors mention his son and Cassandra watches as his face scrunches up with joy. "My boy," he whispers.

"Move the bed," the woman commands and the same joy crosses his face as he realizes her trick.

The family is together again.

"You will have to do unforgivable things," she says. "But there is room in your heart for mercy."

Cassandra raises a hand and cups Odysseus's face. Not lovingly, but with hope. He has been kind to her. She hopes that it stays.

"Remember that."

TW: S3lf harm

(Status update...)

[Moly is bandaging up Athena's arms, which have fresh marks from her nails.]

{you can't do that... okay?}

"..."

{... athena.}

"Mhm..."

(... Looks like Athena is at the lowest point. She might turn to the Holy Moly again to feel less numb.)

No subtitles + cropped version + rambling👇

I finished this all today??? 😱

It's gonna be called "The Afterlife Saga" btw 😋

[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

[wukyma]

I need more poseidon x polites

[Ps may I be their child 🙏]

Took me long enough, but I'm back with more food for y'all ✨️

Hear me out: Poseidon disguised as a human, fighting alongside Greeks in the Trojan war — hope that makes sense!

I looked up if he ever participated in the fight directly and apparently not,, just showed up one time as an old dude to give a pep talk and vanished. Ppl who are more knowledgeable on this pls correct me if I'm wrong 🙏

More stuff and yapping under the cut ⬇️

Poseidon has one (1) emotion and it's annoyance. At everything that moves. XDD

I like to think that Polites saw this cool & aloof dude who didn't talk to anyone, with a strong "don't fkn touch me" aura and decided: yep. that's the one. And went on to annoy him even more

To everyone's astonishment, the mysterious guy turned out to be chill (at least around Polites), but both Odysseus and Eurylochus are concerned bcs literally NO ONE seems to know what's his deal

Comedy material, the beginning of a sad story, or both? Idk lol

As for being adopted by these two? Sure, why not! The only problem is that they share a single braincell and it's barely functional (''･ω･)

[notprometheus]

Eurylochus: umm, captain?

Odysseus: yes?

Eurylochus: since we’re not going to be killed by Poseidon, I feel like you should know this, I opened the wind bag.

Odysseus: ok.

Eurylochus: that’s it?

Odysseus: yeah. I mean if you opening up the wind bag had bigger consequences I would be PISSED! But nothing happened. So yeah just don’t do something like that again. Deal?

Eurylochus: oh, uh yeah deal. I was expecting you to be angrier, but I guess since nothing happened we have nothing to worry about! Awesome! Can’t wait to go home and see my wife.

Odysseus: as I can’t wait to see mine.

*Meanwhile at Ithaca.*

Telemachus: so, my dad blinded your son, and then made a dad joke to you?

Poseidon: a few things left out, but yeah you get the gist.

Telemachus: what does that have to do with me? I’m like 5.

Poseidon: just a heads up, when your dad comes back, I’ll give you and him like pffft, how does 5 minutes sound?

Telemachus: why kill him at all? Just leave him be?

Poseidon: BECAUSE I HAVE A FUCKING REPUTATION TO KEEP UP! Dumb fuck.

Telemachus: will anyone even care by then?

Poseidon: ugh yes! Zeus will! Like he’s such an 💅asshole💅!

“Why do you look so familiar to me…”

-@fighter-of-men

“Hm?” Astyanax tilts his head, shifting his basket of flowers in his hands. “I dunno! We do look kinda similar, I think!”

An addition to my Odysseus’ Sees Ghosts AU idea!! When the ghosts appear during Get in the Water and Six Hundred Strike, I need Odysseus eyes wide as he is falling under the waves, and the ghosts seeing and trying to help. Odysseus is so close to death himself they can practically touch him. Then when he attacks Poseidon I need the ghosts appearing for the 600 Strikes, and maybe they are invisible to Poseidon? (Or not- he is a god after all) but they help Odysseus attack Poseidon.
