You can tell how much Odysseus wants to go back and be a father to Telemachus when he tells the cyclops “I’m so glad we see eye to eye.”

Like dude’s been practicing his dad jokes he is READY-

also people seem to be interpreting this as will reading the trials of apollo, i didn't mean that, but damn that's also funny

Odysseus: But the prophet said the man before would no longer be me.

Penelope: I mean you're older, went through a war, Euryolous the asshole caused you to be stuck for an extra few years and you've been through a lot.

Odysseus: Damn, prophets are always vague. But Penelope... Euryolous was my brother in law, you don't miss him?

Penelope (crossing her arms): He betrayed you over returning to his own wife.

Odysseus: I- Yeah. Even though I'm a changed man you still want me?

Penelope: Mm-hm.

Odysseus: Oh... And we'd have babies and be happily married?

Penelope: I'm physically restraining myself to not have sex now, but yes.

Odysseus: I'm so glad I married a Spartan. I'm going to lay down this is a lot to take in.

Penelope: Oh yes, I saved the spot for you. Kept the pillows fluffed and all that.

Odysseus (sniffling): If I cry, just know it's from happiness.

Penelope shrugged with a playful smile.

Penelope: I'm happy you're back too.

People who criticize others for disliking the changes of Greek mythology when gods are twisted to look like some sort or final villain boss fight video game I honestly wanna see how the reactions would be if someone created a biblical musical where the Pharaoh of Egypt takes revenge against God of Israelites for killing the first born of Egypt by smiting him with his own sword or justice and claim he does it for his people while God begs for mercy.

Food for thought

Is Polites actually my favourite character in EPIC the musical or do I just desperately need someone to tell me that it’s okay for me to relax?

[miyetko]

changed the words a little—mostly because I just wanted to write Aristos Achaion somewhere

Wikipedia tells me one of the meanings of the name Andromache is "man-battler".

Andromache is named such that she fights against men. All the men in her family get killed. Her father, her brothers, her husband and even her son. IIRC, in contrast, her mother lives and dies naturally at her father's house. With the exception of Astynax, all the men are killed by Achilles.

I'M TEARING MY HAIR OUT!!!

Homer. Homer I'm shaking you by the shoulders. WHY DOES ANDROMACHE NOT KILL ANYONE WHYYYY??? SUCH HARDSHIP FOR MY GIRL AND SHE CAN'T EVEN KILL PEOPLE IN A WAR??? SHE SHOULD'VE BEEN ALLOWED TO STRANGLE ACHILLES!!!

We’re in one of the oldest fandoms where the canon itself is long lost and the source materials for us to draw inspiration from are those of the earliest fanfics themselves—two of which being commonly accepted as beta canon due to their top quality. Sometimes these fanfics contradict each other due to all sorts of OOCs and inconsistencies which is forcing us to choose our own sources to rely on to draw fanart and write fanfics. Each generation of fanfic writers are introducing more headcanons in their works and sometimes their fanfics of fanfics become so popular that they are prompting new sub-fandoms to emerge, inspiring more people to draw fanart and write fanfics for these fanfics of fanfics. It’s almost as if there is a family tree of fanfics and we’re now reaching the third generation and beyond
