au where levi weston and kira ford collab on a song but they have to hide their ranger identities from eachother throughout the whole thing because they both believe the other to be a Normal Civilian With No Powers so they just come up with increasingly elaborate excuses for why they need to leave all the time
Athena with odysseus: surprise attacking odysseus and bodily slamming him to palace walls (for awareness training). Randomly kidnapping him from the palace to drop him in the woods (or the ocean or on two memorable occasions on a completely different island) (survival training), using her full strength in sparing matches (odysseus has many broken bones) dragging him up by his wrist so they're face to face. Not being careful with how often she uses quick thought or any of her other powers (what? He seems fine. She's sure odysseus has always been a freak it's definitely not brain damage it's/fine/hes /fine)
Athena with telemachus, after she accidentally knocked him out once: right right odysseus and penelope taught me how to do this when they had me babysit you. Gotta be gentle so so gentle. Gotta support the head gotta craddle humans not yank them up by the wrist (she knew odysseus was a freak why didn't he say anything??) Can't just funnel her full power into the kid gotta be so gentle.
no genuinely i think the fastest way to a Max Jägerman Redemption Arc(TM) is putting him in the drama club. it would help him get over his toxic masculinity AND let him be a dramatic bitch without being a bully about it. High School Musical his ass
Odysseus is stronger than me bc the moment a cyclops killed my best friend I would've dropped his "greet the world with opens arms" philosophy real quick
what if i said “okay the guy may have died by falling off a roof while drunk but what if i made it a bit angsty by emphasizing the fact that he wanted to be at the very least remembered, and not forgotten and abandoned like he originally believed he was when he died”
One of my favorite subtle details in Epic is how, at the start of Wouldn't You Like, you would expect Odysseus to be on his absolute highest guard after all the unexpected hardships throughout the trip and the conversation he just had with Eury. And yet when a mysterious voice from the trees says "I must say, what a brilliant speech you gave," you can practically HEAR the smirk in Odysseus's voice as he asks "who goes there?"
