Percy: Hey dad?

Poseidon: Yes Percy?

Percy: I was just wondering, you used to be pretty ruthless—what changed? What made you wanna turn over a new leaf?

Poseidon: *Gets violent phantom pains in the scars he received after pushing a man with really sexy thighs way too far*

Percy: Dad?

Poseidon: *Swallows* Well son, you get older, you mature, you realize some actions were definitely out of proportion, and some lessons don't need to be relearned...

Have you seen this man?? Local woman and son on search for wanted-criminal husband.

Aka, Penelope and Telemachus get fed up and go on their own quest to find Odysseus, and have a completely normal time

... I mean, Adachi Rei is a real robot but I wanted to include her. Was also debating on Spamton's inclusion but fuck it he's a spambot he gets a pass

100% sure it's been made multiple times but I wanted to make my own version

I love arcs like these give me more tortured characters

hi yes if ruereguard are the patrochilles parallel then percabeth are the Odysseus and Penelope parallel BUT (and I cannot stress this enough) annabeth is Odysseus

here's why:

Odysseus is a character who is the epitome of hubris. he's the smartest person in every room he walks into, he was the main strategist for the entire Greek army, everyone was looking to him for guidance and approval. he's Athena's champion (and pet liar) but eventually loses favour with her because pride comes before the fall. the overarching story of the odyssey is that he's trying to go home to his wife and will do whatever it takes with his cunning and wits to get there over the course of 10 years.

sounds awfully familiar to Annabeth Chase, favoured daughter of Athena, general and main strategist of CHB, smartest person in the room, prideful, strong and the person everyone looks to for approval. Athena holds annabeth in high regards but will put her aside the moment she "embarrasses her". and not only did Annabeth spend months trying to get Percy back, but its approx. 10 years from her arrival at CHB and the end of HoO, in which her overarching goal is to create something permanent - and she achieves that, though changed in unimaginable ways.

Percy and Penelope may be a bit of a stretch until you look at the main thing the two of them have in common - their unending and unconditional loyalty. Penelope sat and weaved day in and day out for maybe 20 years as men ate her out of house and home, because she would not abandon her husband and the hope that he would return home. by all accounts, it could have been easier for her to simply accept whatever offer suited her most as queen of Ithaca but she didn't. and we know that loyalty is our boy Percy's fatal flaw, and that one of the only things he could remember was annabeth.

so do we think that sally jackson told poseidon at one point that she was going to name percy odysseus instead as a joke?? cause in my head she did and it was HILARIOUS (to her)

can you imagine if in the next movie/show wade and logan meet loki, and as he observes their behavior around each other, he randomly spits out, grinning:

“i can see the future, gentlemen, and i sure indeed see two hearts becoming one in it”.

then leaves wade and logan clueless with no further explanation??

To follow up on this post, it would be so freaking funny if when Annabeth is telling Percy about Odysseus/the Odyssey, the screen cuts to an actual depiction of the narration, and Jay Herrans as Ody is like standing at the bow of the ship and pointing ahead and stuff and they're singing Full Speed Ahead. Cut back to Percabeth, and Percy's like, "...why are they singing?" I would p e r i s h

loved this particular idea from my Odyssey dump for @silenzahra, so I remade it as a cute little desktop wallpaper in light of all the brotherliness in the air as of late 😌

here's what it looks like in my own desktop hehe
