'The Awakened Sentinel'

Hrafnviðr, The Awakened Sentinel

The gods evolve. Once, Valkyries chose the fallen. Now, they build them anew. Deep in the chambers of forgotten war, a Valkyrie repairs what was once a man and is now something more. Runes burn into circuits, the old world merges with the new, and soon, he will awaken.

SPOILER!!

SOME NAKED MALE BOOBS AND PROBABLY EATING DISORDER AND (I BELIEVE) SEVERE WEIGHT LOSS UNDER THE CUT! STAY SAFE, FOLKS <33333

I was thinking about swap au with warrior Penelope!...

And oh gods... Calypso, I give you my permission to choke me... God, I love her design sm!

Her knife is really pretty! And I think she has something like pants underneath that skirt

And of course sad burrito Ody...

Yeah... He looks like a living skeleton due to stress... Thank gods Telemachus takes care of his dad, either way... 💀

I like how he looks... But goddamit...

Bonus:

I like drawing siren Ody, he looks pretty

I like how the siren took on the appearance of Odysseus before Penelope sailed from Ithaca: Young, loud, normal weight, cheerful king! While the real Ody is just... Well...💀

Warrior Penelope stuff cause I've been listening to too many EPIC genderbent covers, and I wanted to give my take on it (also cuz I kinda want to draw it one day)

- Ares as Penelope's patron, absolutely! But Ares didn't have a huge cult in Sparta, although he wasn't hated. So my lore take version thing is that ATHENA wanted to be Penelope's patron (she had already an eye on Ody kinda) but Ares saw his chance, got to it first and became attached to Penelope without wanting to admit it, also because she saw the good and useful in him. Athena still watches over Penelope (especially after her and Ares platonically break up, which she finds really stupid) and is the one who does her best to protect Ithaca while she's gone. She's by Ody's side while he misses his wife and is mostly the reason why the Suitors hadn't taken over yet.

- To get Ares to realize his mistake, Athena tricks him into helping Telemachus defeat Antinous in Little Wolf because free bloodshed, only to end up sensitized by Telemachus because holy shit, my friend's son is here almost dying to this ASSHOLE who thinks he's so much stronger than MY friend the queen and even me like who tf does he think he is. Athena makes Ares fucking rational for once. And maybe even Aphrodite, as well, gets some damn sense in his mind like "they love each other like you and I and my girl is doing her best to get home you're going to apologize rn"

- ctimene holds a claymore double her height with no problems

- penelope is more "cold ruthless" than Odysseus, in a way that she's still poised (until the end or when she's really brought to her knees which is disturbing) while doing merciless stuff. She's emotionless a lot more (just on the surface)

- Ares was the one to give Penelope the idea of going to war instead of Odysseus, for obvious reasons. And Pen is really a mastermind among the Greeks ofc

- Ares and Pen fought in their My Goodbye version because she "held back her power while her friends got devoured" "she didn't even fight Polyphemus, didn't even TRY to kill him" "hid behind her wits to get things done". Because when fighting Polyphemus, she knew that if she tried to kill Polyphemus while he was asleep, they'd be stuck in that cave forever (like in the real Odyssey). And knew that fighting while her friends got killed would slow them down and probably get more people dead. And when they ran away, she didn't go back to kill the Cyclops even if she could've because of yes, mercy, but also because she would've awakened all the other Cyclops and sailing away was faster, better. Ares deemed this cowardice. Crazy thing, since one of the most important things to him is courage.

- Ares overstimates Penelope's power. Like, yes, she's exceptional, but still HUMAN. With her limits. He hasn't dealt with a human personally in years so he doesn't understand this, so his expectations are ridiculously high, which ends up breaking Penelope.

- During 600 strike, Penelope can actually breathe underwater and not hold her breath for such a long time and be fine because she's half naiad (yes, they are fresh water nymphs but still). Also this may make her even stronger around water (to a certain degree, she's still very mortal)

- calypso is pansexual

this is already a lot, ill add more when i think about it lol (also if i realize any of these ideas don't make sense)(check reblogs for more)

Warrior Penelope AU

I had in mind for this that everyone is the same for the exception of Odysseus and Penelope, Eurylocus and Ctimene, and Athena and Ares.

So when Penelope goes to Circe’s island, Done For doesn’t happen because all Penelope needs to do is take off her helmet to reveal she’s not a man and Circe immediately loses her hostility, so Penelope doesn’t need to win Circe over like Odysseus did; Circe doesn’t argue with beautiful women

There Are Other Ways probably happens but not bc Circe is trying to trick Penelope or lower her defenses, she just wants to hit

Somehow I missed this - last month the University of Thessaly tested the Mycenaean Dendra armour for combat by putting it on Greek Marines in an “11-hour simulated Bronze Age combat protocol”!

Not only did it prove battle-worthy, we now have THIS IMAGE🤯
