Imagine Billdysseus during the Vengeance Saga…

[cursedartistnelari]

Part 1 (this one ) / Part 2

Ok so I wanted to do something about Penelope warrior AU cuz I FUCKING LOVE THE CONCEPT

Idk Odysseus being the prince of Itaca and Penelope being trained by Ares almost her whole life to be the best warrior ever. They met by chance in Sparta when they were young and Ody just falls for her cuz who doesn't like a badass woman who is very capable of kicking your ass if she wants to

Still working on part 2 tho

EDIT: PART 2 IT'S READY

AHHHH!!!! HOW COULD YOU REMIND ME ABOUT ARGOS!!! I'M STILL NOT OVER HIS DEATH😭😭!!! Anyway, I love these memes; they made my day! The only reason I didn’t reply sooner is because I've been dealing with some personal issues, and I also made some memes for this AU. Does this count as a spoiler? I don’t really care. Anyway, enjoy the meme! ^^

Also forgive me for any wrong grammar today, I'm still tired����

Thank you again for this meme; it really made my day! Sorry for the delay in my response. I'd love to hear your ideas and opinions for this AU!

How much aura did I lose for belting my goodbye in the hall and then turning around and seeing a cute guy behind me

[l-egionaire]

After getting into Epic The Musical, hearing the songs and seeing the Warrior Penelope AU, I can't help picturing this; Main universe Odysseus meeting a version of Warrior!Penelope.

Maybe it's just after Odysseus escapes Calypso's island. He lands on another one just for a few minutes to grab food from the trees when he hears a rustle in the woods. He withdraws his sword and a figure in a sheepskin cloak, armor, and a helmet emerges bearing a pair of twin labrys. The two prepare to clash, but then she sees his face.

"....Odysseus?"

His voice makes her freeze. She slowly removes her helmet, and his eyes fill with a mix of shock, trepidation and the slightest bit of longing.

"Penelope....?"

Both just stare at each other like ghosts. This woman looked so much like his wife yet so different. Her face had a number of scars hers never did. Her arms were strong and muscular, bearing their own marks. She was much older, though some part of him couldn't help thinking she was no less beautiful.

Quickly, he thinks this must be some kind of trick. Yet another cruel joke played by the fates. Perhaps some Siren of the land, another monster wearing his wife's face and voice.

And then, with shaking hands, she withdraws a bow. Not just any bow, HIS bow, Palontonos, looking just as pristine as the last time he'd seen it, twenty years ago.

His breathe goes heavy and his eyes start to flow with tears.

"Penelope....

"Odysseus...."

They both tightly hug each other, somehow knowing they weren't QUITE the lover they'd lost, but something close enough to soothing their fractured hearts.

Over a meal of roasted wild boar and fruit, the two talk about their lives. How they were so similar and yet so different.

The Penelope that both was and wasn't his told him of her life growing up in Sparta. Training as a warrior, learning to judge both might and wisdom and attracting the attention of Ares. How she'd taken the position as leader of the army that would march on Troy as she begged him not to go, reasoning Ithaca would need it's king there not risking dying in war and he'd allowed her to go, taking his bow along as a keepsake of home. Her voice chokes up when she speaks of having to kill the son of Hector and he hugs her again, giving them both a chance to share their guilt.

She then speaks of her own journey. How she and her crew had landed on the isle of the Cyclops. How with their help, she'd slain the monster once he'd killed some of her crew....and then went on to slay the Lotus-Eaters for putting them in such danger, unknowingly getting the attention of another god: Dionysius.

The wine god, furious with her for slaying his followers, struck her with madness. Tears fell from her eyes in a flood as she described being overcome with visions of a massive army of monsters on the beach, one by one, slaying them all...until she had come to and realized that the ones she had slayed had been her own crewmen.

She spent many despondent weeks trying to sail home, haunted now by nightmares and the screams of her fellow soldiers. Unfortunately, her troubles were far from over. As with no crew or navigator, she veered off course and sailed for days on ebd, eventually runnibg out of food. She landed on an island bursting with red cows and immediatly hunted one down, before being horrified to see the golden ichor that spilled from their veins. As she fled for her ship in fear, a bolt of thunder hit the ground. And she was once again met with the king of the gods.

The thunder god inflicted on her two punishments. The first.....she gripped the front of her chest, and he could see her throat tighten, it being too horrible to say. But she choked out that the second was to have the god of winds conjured a terrible storm that whipped her around and blew her far off course....all the way to the land of the giants.

With shaky words, she spoke of how the beasts smashed her boat to pieces with rocks and she spent more years than she could count, scrounging on their scraps like a rat, avoiding being eaten, struggling to fight and survive. Until one day, the goddess of the hunt appeared before her. The lady of the wild offered her aid, giving her a quiver of gorgeous silver arrows that never ran out, telling her to slay the monsters keeping her prisoner by becoming a monster in turn. And thus, the hunted became the huntress. She slew each and every giant she could find with her husband's bow and the huntress gods arrows. And once she was done, and had made a small craft, Artemis instructed her to follow her brother the sun and she would find her way home.

Odysseus saw the pain and fear and loss in her eyes. And without thinking his own story came out. The cyclops, his break with Athena, Aeolus, Poseidon, Circe, The Underworld, the sirens, Scylla, Zeus, Calypso (this time HIS throat tightened just as hers did talking about it and he could see the recognition of his pain on her face.), Hermes, and how was also on his own journey home.

They spent the rest of their time holding each other (that's all they would do, for they knew while they looked similar, they weren't the ones they loved) and then they both departed, Penelope after the sun and Odysseus towards the north star.

Neither quite knew why this meeting happened. A gift, cruelty of the gods, a mere freak chance, but both still took a moment to get small smiles, knowing they'd met the one other person who could understand their pain.

Suffering AU

I've been listening to Suffering on repeat, well all of Epic the Musical really, but all I can think about is a little story in my brain about a siren whose trying to seduce one Odysseus's crew but as she's singing her heart out she starts to realize...oh dang, he's kind of cute...and develops a little crush while oblivious to her sisters frustrations over Odysseus's little tale about trying to evade Poseidon. Her heart is pitter pattering like crazy while the sailor can't keep his eyes off of her...until someone smacks him in the back of the head to remember the task of catching the sea monsters. The sailor doesn't know what he's doing but he gestures to the siren to leave and she obeys, diving deep down and away from the ship, just narrowly avoiding the nets the scoop up her pod, leaving her to watch as they're massacred.

Her heart is broken as her sisters sink to into the inky depths of the ocean, each losing their lives no matter how much she tries to save them until the blood attracts other monsters, forcing her to flee...and follow the Odysseus's ship. She doesn't know why, her heart feels sick but every time she peeks above the waves she see's the sailor, often at the edge of the ship, looking at the water as if he was searching for something and the sight, that silhouette in the light makes her heart go wild as she remembers some of her sisters reciting stories of a great love that they were never destined to find.

This siren, with hope and the Gods know what else, continue to follow the ship, even braving hiding amongst the waves as she watches in horror as Zeus demands Odysseus to choose: him, or his crew?

Without thinking she cuts through the water to the side of the ship where that one sailor stands, finally their eyes locking as she gestures to him wildly.

And this is where things are up to the writer...I know what my mind would choose but... Will the sailor risk it all and dive into the water or will he be forced to face the same fate as his crew mates?

Remember this is an au that won't leave my brain, nothing that's meant to be rooted in the story. It's all for fun :)

During ‘My Goodbye’:

Athena: You’re not looking for a mentor, I’m not looking for a friend! Consider this as my goodbye!

At the Poseidon’s “wedding” with Odysseus:

Athena: JUST BECAUSE I CUT THINGS OFF WITH HIM DOESN’T MEAN HE WAS UP FOR GRABS!

Poseidon: Too bad, So sad. He’s my wife now

Odysseus: I wanna go back to my real home

Hey! Sharing is caring! Anyway I love this so much that I made the other:

Helios: IF YOU DON’T PUNISH THOSE DAMN COW KILLERS, I’LL DRAG THE SUN INTO THE UNDERWORLD MYSELF!!!

Zeus: Relax! I’ve got the perfect punishment lined up for one of them. Just, you know, keep the sun where it belongs, alright?

Helios: Fine…

Zeus: Excellent! I’ll take care of it right now!

Zeus leaves.

Helios pauses, frowning: Wait—what do you mean one of them—

Later, during the wedding:

Helios: …

Eurylochus sits in a cage, glaring.

Helios: Look… deep sigh In my defense, I just wanted to see all of you dead, all right?

Eurylochus: Was that supposed to make me feel better?

Helios: Honestly? Kind of.

Meanwhile, elsewhere…

Circe: What in Tartarus are you doing here?

Dionysus, sneaking away with pig-Elpenor in one hand and a wine goblet in the other: Uh… enjoying my wine?

Circe: 😐

Elpenor (still a pig) trying to escape: "OINK!" (Translation: HELP! I’M BEING KIDNAPPED AGAIN!!)

In another corner of Olympus:

All the gods: What do you have there?

Hades, holding both Persephone’s and Polites’s hands: My wife and my husband.

All the gods: Huh. So… you definitely have a type.

Please, I would love to hear your ideas and opinions for this AU!
