Turns out, Odysseus thinks hysterically, being on a magic island with a Titan’s child for seven years has… affects.

What the fuck, he thinks. Calypso and Hermes looks just as confused as he feels. (Which rules out that this might be one of Calypso’s schemes. She can’t truly act for the life of her; It’s always in her eyes and she can’t do a long act).

There are scales on his arms. And legs. And neck. And basically everywhere, actually. They come in patches and in different concentrations; The biggest batch is the one already consuming his abdomen, and meeting with the ones growing on his thighs and just generally his legs The other highest concentration is on his elbows, and they spread faster down towards his hands.

They’re a mix of sea-green-blue and gray; Some of the pale-soot colored scales bounce off a warm hazel or sunset-orange in the dappled sunlight that leaks through the trees. The gray - and especially the warm-gray - patches have some dusky gray and sepia feathers peaking out, in between the scales. The most of them are around his neck or from his elbows through his forearms. His hands have grown into aqua tipped webbed claws as well.

What the fuck what the fuck what the fuck what the fuck, he thinks on a loop. As he huffs a hysterical laugh, he can feel his teeth having sharpened into needle point snake-like fangs and on that point - his tongue has thinned into something rough and forked. A snake’s tongue as well. The panic increases. (There are whispers in the wind now, feeling of his dead crew).

His ears twitch as he looks at his reflection in a nearby stream, peacefully running like everything in Ogygia, and - holy mother of Zeus what the fuuuuck

His… ears (can he even call them that? His hearing still seems the same…) have transformed into… fins? They remind him of the sirens’ ears, actually, though a bit wider and thinner. They’re mainly the same sea-green-blue color that the scales decorating mainly his lower half are, only fading into a cool blue gray as they near his head. …Are those more feathers behind his fin-ears??? (Scratchy ghost hands reach out of the water, like they did the River Styx. Not real, not real, he automatically tells himself, ignores them).

He turns back to the two gods, who are still staring at him; He feels his fin-ears(???) dip down in panic.

Hermes at least seems like he’s thinking - and worried - even if Odyseeus can’t see his eyes. He doesn’t want to look at Calypso much for anything, but the quick glance he gives seems to spell a similar expression, if not with a bit of… anger. Or disgust. (He hopes it’s the latter; He still feels a spike of fear at the anger. Nothing good ever came of her, much less of her anger).

(Odysseus doesn’t notice in his hysteria, but as his breathing picks up, his legs fuse together, into a snake tail. Hermes catches the moment).

Hermes seems to have thought of something, as his shoulders drop just the slightest and he slowly floats towards Odysseus, as if he was an unbroken horse (or monster, Odysseus thinks. He did say he’d become the monster but this- this is-), holding his hands in front of him in a placating gesture.

“Calm,” Hermes breathes in soft voice. Odysseus tries to follow the god’s orders. “Calm,” Hermes whispers again.

He’s done this before, he thinks, as he turns his gaze on the grass floor, unfocusing. Despite whatever in his gods forsaken travels or the war. Shut it all off. (turn off your heart, a ghost Athena murmurs behind him. Not real, he knows. Follows anyway. Why didn’t he listen to her all those years ago.)

Odysseus can’t do it as.. cleanly as usually could with the whole… well. But he tampers it down a bit. Evidently at least Hermes is willing to help. (He ignores his thoughts on how Penelope might react). They’ll… figure something out.

He tries to think about it calmer; He can feel his panicked tangled thoughts flow into a familiar, calmer weaving feeling, like whenever he makes a good plan and all it’s variables. Is it a curse from Poseidon? The fins and sea-green make him think that, if not for the feathers that are definitely not part of the Earthshaker’s realm. The feathers actually make him think of Athena but- but she didn’t answer him earlier- or did she? Hermes seemed uncomfortable and oddly tightlipped about… something; Something happening in Olympus, Odysseus can guess that much. Regardless, the most of… this seems to a snake. Snakes are either of Athena, Hermes, or Ares.

“d...eus,”

Odysseus has never even met Ares, that goes to Diomedes, he absentmindedly thinks - only Hermes and Athena, and the silver & sienna scales and feathers are very in their domain, however, Hermes obviously doesn’t know much about it, so he can really only think it’s Athena - the myth of Medusa flashes in his mind - except again, he points out against himself, the fins. They’re so clearly Poseidon, and he knows the both of them - Athena better - enough that he knows they’d rather impossibly die that work together for something as so small as a curse.

“Ood...seuusss,”

But if Poseidon can hold a grudge and he knows Athena well enough to know that she does to, as much as she denies, but still then, why would it be years after - is it cause he called to her?

“Odysseus!” Hermes half yells. The mortal in questions jumps, standing again. …When did he stop standing in the first place …wait a minute was he higher than usual earlier? Think about that later, Odysseus tells himself, shaking off the familiar feeling of fading into his thoughts.

Odysseus looks up towards Hermes, who looks a bit worried, but not as panicked as he did earlier. Odysseus looks back down at himself. There are still some scales and feathers, but considerably less. His hands have dulled down - they’re still sharper than usual, but they’re not claws, and the webbing between them is similarly less.

He feels around his mouth. His tongue is still… forked, but that’s all - still a human tongue otherwise; his fangs are still sharp, though.

“Yesss?” It’s harder to speak with a forked tongue and fangs. There’s a slight hiss and lisp at the end of the word.

Hermes doesn't respond, glancing at Calypso, then Odysseus, then Calypso again before partially turning to her, lips pressed, adopting a colder expression, like he did when he was addressing Calypso earlier, to tell them Odysseus was finally free. Hermes nods his head towards the general direction of Calypso’s ‘home’. Calypso opens her mouth, indignant, but the pressure in the air increases as Hermes’ wings stretch up and out, spreading the feathers in an act Odysseus can somehow instinctively tell is meant to intimidate. Calypso closes her mouth, still looking upset but cowed, and she runs off.

Hermes turns back to him, the wings furling back into resting near the god's ears, pressure in the air lifting. He stares for another moment, before sighing and giving Odysseus a small smile, infinitely softer than his usual mischievous ones.

He floats towards Odysseus (careful and gentle and so much unlike Calypso-) and tucks some of his curls behind his slightly-webbed ears, careful around the scales; he lightly ruffles his head like he used to when Odysseus was so, so much younger.

"Should be fine, my friend," Hermes whispers. "Rises with your emotions, no?" Hermes watches the wheels turn in Odysseus' head. Yeah, Odysseus thinks, mind blank in a good way that it hasn't been in a long while. Okay. He nods. "Smart, kid," Hermes whispers.

One of Hermes' ear-wings twitch, and his head minutely tilts towards Calypso's 'home' before tilting back to Odysseus. Hermes softly runs his hand behind Odysseus' head and leads him towards the beachside. There's a raft bobbing back and forth with the waves.

They're really letting me go, Odysseus walks towards the raft, water splashing against his legs. He turns back to Hermes who- is gone- wait no; Hermes flits back from somewhere, wings fluttering and a moderately large basket full of food, water, and clothing in his hands that he pushes into Odysseus' hands.

The god gently hurries Odysseus onto the ship, and after setting down the basket helps him push the raft into the open sea. With Hermes' help, Odysseus is far enough out to barely see the shape of Calypso, once she made to the coastline; Odysseus turns his head away from her. From Ogygia.

Hermes stays with him for a while, until Ogygia's silhouette is shrouded in fog, fading into sky. Hermes watches it fade away, as Odysseus keeps his eyes trained to the open sea (Captain-).

The messenger god turns back to Odysseus, and hovers in front of him. He lightly ruffles his hair again, and his hand cups the side of his head as Hermes ducks his head down and presses a kiss to his great-grandson's forehead.

"Call my name, and I shall be there," Hermes murmurs with a fond smile. With that, Hermes dissipates in a quiet flutter and feathers.

-

ok. so. this developed into great-grandfather hermes. uhm. yeah. anyway. so, in procrastinating on this I now have a full tag for monster-ody-au, it's called Ithacan Naga AU.

*ody has been dissociating his entire stay on Calypso’s island, besides maybe the first year, where he hadn’t spent enough time to be affected. His heightened emotions at leaving cause the actual affects to show, btw.

So! There's absolutely a ref post with a verrry long conversation in the replies that talks about it but to formally do it/add onto it: > Ody's scales are mainly/usually sea-blue-green to gray/purple, but changes colors based on lighting! > Ogygia isn't meant to be inhabited by normal people (or smth), so after seven years + Calypso's inherent magic (as a titan's daughter) it changes Odysseus into basically what Ithacans/Ody would be if he was greek monster, which is why he doesn't notice it & why it's overall very natural. -> Ithacans would really just be sea-snake nagas with some feathers. Ody is special cause he's a descendent of Hermes (and maybe Zeus) & Athena blessed, so he gets wings. > He's venomous! > He can "unhinge" his jaw (Snakes have an extra[?] bone called a quadratic bone that connects the top half of their skull & their jaw, which lets them extend it more. The jaw is also in two parts & has a stretchy ligament to let it stretch). > Full length naga, Ody is like... 27-33 ft? > He has three pairs of wings, one of the small of his back, near his waist, and the other two on the side of his snake half. > He gets gills! Three near his human ribs, a few several spaced out throughout his snake half.

Small headcannons that make a cameo in this: > Hermes used to hang out with little Odysseus (and Ctimene) before Athena (and Ares) came along and chose Ody (and Mene) > Ody has schizophrenia (and PTSD, by now).

...my battery is about to die & I can't remember anything else so that's all for now

[autumnfangirler]

have some epic gods in no particular order

[direwolfrules]

Me playing Hades: Ugh, this build sucks, RNGesus screwed me over, I shouldn’t have taken the Chaos boon with that curse where I couldn’t see chamber rewards. This run is doomed.

Me, that same run: *Melts bosses with blade rifts, doesn’t use a single death defiance, and gets new best time*

[spartanexperience]

[gaymars97]

He is. Watching the Tee Vee

[girlinthetardis04]

Hera joins the roster!

I had a lot of fun designing her, to be honest. I tried looking up what Greek royalty wore but have up halfway and just took some liberties. Purple is for royalty, obviously, and also for the peacocks. Streaking of which, the feather earrings and golden pin (yes, it's supposed to be a peacock). The teal was also a reference to the colour of peacock feathers, plus it works nicely with the purple. I tried to make her features slightly birdlike, hence the nose, and the dots under her eyes just looked pretty to me, but you can interpret them as another reference to the peacock's pattern. No real reason for the red hair, I just feel it suits her character. I wanted her to look as royal as possible, and I think I got it pretty well. She looks so beautiful.

[get-rammed]

Hi I just found most of your au's and I have a question

Do you have a yandere Monty au?

And also which ones from all your au's do what type of yandere's would each Monty be

From a yandere Monty smip Aron

I had a brief idea that never really left the sketch phase. Butttt

-

Glamrock Monty - If we're going full violent yandere, he's the guy.

They tuned his anger a little too much, and he learned to be possessive over you or you wouldn't prioritize him.

Suddenly every bot he spots you talking to gets injured, and they won't, or can't, report who did it. Cameras seem to glitch and their footage is corrupted, so nobody knows who's doing it.

But you do. You see the evidence in his claws. The lubricant and oil. The signs of metal damage to his hands.

You try to brush it off. But suddenly people start getting hurt. They're too frightened to report Montgomery, and they're suddenly scared of you.

Then bodies and parts of bodies start turning up. Yet Montgomery is always clean. Save for the claws.

You try to access him through the old AR/VR system to try and try to diagnose him that way. But all you succeed in doing is getting him in your head. You can quit, but he's there. Always with you. Making certain that nobody gets too close to you.

Using your own hands to ensure it.

Soon he knows you'll come back to the Pizzaplex so he can have you all to himself.

-

Golf Monty - Very gas lighty. "Come on sweets, I'd never hurt ya! I just need you to stay tonight, okay? Just stay with me. I can't let you go, I can't be away from you, you understand, right? You literally repair me. I need you. I break when you leave."

He wouldn't hurt anyone, let alone you. So that's not a danger. But he will absolutely do everything in his power to keep you with him and near him. Manipulation and gas lighting his way to ensure you're with him.

Going so far as to fake a request to the higher ups that you wish to stay nights. It surprises you when they offer. It comes with a pay raise, so who can say no?

You're with him all the time now, and he's happy. Always somehwere within 50 feet of you. Dragging recharge pods over to wherever you're sleeping so he can recharge nearby.

Getting uppity if you're too far from him.

Starts to struggle to do his job because he wants you there. No. Needs you there.

He just becomes your life, and he didn't have to do a whole lot to get it.

-

Were Monty - Isn't even aware he's being terrible and off. Just figures he likes you, and doesn't like other people trying to get with you. He knows he's got a jealousy issue, but doesn't think it's that bad.

Fighting anyone who glances your way, occasionally getting a little too rough to ensure you remember who you're with. Always seems to show up wherever you are, but with his celebrity status, nobody seems to notice that. They're so focused on him. And with that attention on him, he knows nobody is looking at you.

Occasionally will make a show of "Eyyyy, here's my partner I love so much. They're all mine 💕" flash his toothy grin and the cameras eat it up.

Will mark you up visibly, so everyone knows you're his. Strategic bite and hickey marks to the neck just above the T-shirt so you can't quite hide them.

He'd never kill anyone, but he just needs to scare them, and you, enough to keep everyone in line.

-

And because I've always said this. Relationships like this irl are toxic as all fuck and shouldn't be something you want. Unhinged jealousy isn't cute or fun irl. But it sure is in fiction 😎

[itsprobablydean]

Oh fuck, the Apollo kids have found me.

YOU GUYS BETTER LEAVE ME ALONE ABOUT THE ARCHERY THING!!

[pens-and-coins]

Do you know stories on Arceus?

Ah, Arceus! I’m assuming you mean the supreme creator, and not the hypothetical “secretaries” to them?

I know quite a lot about them! Sinnoh is my home region, after all.

They are described as an amorphous, nameless, faceless being, who oversees the multi-verse from their higher plane. If you were to attribute modern labels to them, I suppose agender and aro-ace are fitting?

The most fascinating thing about them is how they’re depicted, named, and assigned personality and gender differently depending on the region.

For instance, many Kantonians, Johtonians, and Hoennians knew Arceus as Amaterasu! They attributed them as being more feminine and having a ninetales-like appearance.

This is in stark contrast with a region like Galar, who called Arceus Odin. They assigned Arceus more masculine traits, and described them as missing an eye and being similar in appearance to a midday lycanroc.

That is of course all in history, though. Not many people still believe separately, but it is recorded that Arceus will appear in the respective form to the region as that’s what they’re most comfortable with.

Now to quickly tell a story, as I feel I’ve already spoken quite a lot!

This comes from a region where they attributed Arceus as Zeus, and being tauros-like. There was an ancient being who emerged from the earth, a colossal threat to all the people and pokemon. They ravaged the earth, leaving nothing but fire and ash in their wake. All the legends cowered, fleeing the region. All except Arceus. They attempted to fight the being alone and while they held their own for a while, the being eventually overpowered them and landed a blow that crippled them. Arceus thought all hope was lost, until two legends returned to help. First was Hermes, or Latios. Second was Vertumnus, a minor god under Xerneas, who appears as a sawsbuck. Together, the trio was able to outwit the being and save the world. Arceus also supposedly buried the being under Mount Coronet, but that is neither here nor there.

I do hope this suffices. If you would like another story about them, I’d be happy to provide.
