#odypen my beloved

[maplebitts]

Idk guys I’m pretty sure this happened at some point

[australet789]

Me when song 40 is mentioned

[ij16]

OdyPen

I tried

[staying--whelmed]

BREATHES

what slays me about the song Appetite and how we didnt get it is that removing it adds to the narrative that Odysseus cannot and will not look at another woman

he couldve, i mean tricking her wouldve been so easy for him, she is so down bad for 7 years that one look, one inkling of reciprocation from Odysseus and she would do anything for him, like stay in the bedroom while Ody told her to just wait there, or hell he really couldve attempted to stab her like how he would do to Poseidon in 600 Strikes

but he didnt do anything, he just avoided her, wouldnt even touch her

he would not even FLIRT with her to save his life, he didnt even try, he would rather d*e than to flirt with someone who is Not His Wife

AND THAT KILLS ME because it just shows his loyalty, his devotion, his one true love that he couldnt betray her even when he had nothing

had he reciprocated, even if it wasnt true, even if it was to trick Calypso, would WE as an audience feel as cathartic as we do in WYFILWMA?

idk, maybe?

but personally i wouldnt be this broken and as in love with WYFILWMA if we had the song Appetite

would still love it but the added knowledge that Odysseus just cant with anyone other than Penelope is what really strikes me

Okay so after 1 day processing (lies i processed nothing) and listening to " will you fall in love with me again " on repeat

I have thoughts A LOT OF THEM

I loveeee how Penelope's RAGE is showcased in the song and especially in the livestream ( @gigizetz you absolutely GOAT ) , because it's her husband in front of her after 20 goddamn years and he has the GAL to say if you knew the things (i absolutely love the background showing all the animatics of the things he has done and how he has changed ) I have done (not blaming ody here he has a totally vaild perspective) , could she bring herself to love him again, and SHE IS PISSED , but she knows he husband very well so instead of shouting, she asks him for a simple favour, to move the wedding bed (and i love how it's adapted from the Odyssey, Penelope instead of proving herself that's her husband, proves ody that he's still her husband) , and ody is pissed( bro brings out the electric guitar and all 💀) and is like how could you ask me to do that , it's a symbol of everlasting love , and PENELOPE is like WELL ONLY MY HUSBAND KNEW THAT SO I GET THAT MAKES HIM YOU (you can hear the rage in her voice, ask stupid questions get stupid answers ), and ody is shooketh , his falabers are gasted , and then we get "I will fall in love with you , Over and over again, I don’t care how, where, or when, No matter how long it’s been

You’re mine ( how dare you insinuate that you AREN'T MINE , YOU ARE MY HUSBAND AND I WILL ALWAYS LOVE YOU , ALL THE VERSION OF YOU AND NOTHING IS GOING TO CHANGE THAT )

Don’t tell me you’re not the same person, You’re always my husband, And I’ve been waiting, waiting , Waiting, waiting , Waiting, waiting,Waiting, oh!, For you..." ( and then we get the montage of how hard the 20 years have been for her too and how she has changed too, and it's in her voice ahahaha)

AND THEN THE INSTRUMENTALS OF "JUST A MAN " (I'm just a man who's fighting for his life, Deep down, I would trade the world to see my son and wife) START PLAYING AND JUST KILL ME AT THIS POINT , it would hurt less (he's finally HOME GUYSSS , OUR BOY IS HOME )

And ending it with "I love u's " was the best decision EVER

So basically I guess what i wanted to say was OdyPen are the standard and we should expect nothing less , no other will ever come close to them and i WILL MISS THEM IMMENSELY

[unch4rtedwxters]

I see you’re handling the Ithaca saga well

“well” is a word for it, it’s just not the one i would use to describe it

[blue-tnt]

"Picked me, picked me. He picked me..." Lyric taken from the song "Pick Me," a cut song from EPIC :D

Odypen I love you <3 Younger Penelope here :3 I need to get better at drawing hands- My first attempt at drawing blush btw- Also I need to work on my artist signature-

[elvictolol]

Hearing entire Epic again always makes me crying like a baby

[introvertedpebble]

just so you know, the only reason I'm not posting my reactions to the Ithaca saga here like a madman is because it shattered me and left me scattered around in pieces

[deadbaguette]

Odysseus has two hands <3

[n0ahs-ark]

im robbing from you a odypen doodle with baby tele

oh they're so doomed by the narrative oh god

[pansyfilia]

"i would rather share one lifetime with you than face all the ages of this world alone."

Penelope: cupping odysseus's face: I would gut us both and entangled our intentions. I will stitch our skins together and tie us into knots you will never be able to unravel

Odysseus: peppering kisses across her face tearing up: that's the sweetest thing anybody has ever said to me

The rest of court watching them: uM

[zizigia]

Odysseus: Who the fuck-

Penelope: Language!

Odysseus: Whom the fuck-

Penelope: No.

[darcydoescosplay]

This is me after this except imagine tears

,,Think of your wives,, in ,,The Horse and the Infant,, hits for me a lot header when you remember that, (according to the Odyssey) just hours befor Helene went around the wooden horse imitating the of there wives voices. Just hours ago Odysseus heard Penelope's voice agine for the first time in 10 years, and it wasn't even the real one.
