Penelope Warrior Au Arts Bc I’ve Grown To Really Like It :]

Calypso, gesturing to herself and the rest of the suitors: Now, which of us will be the object of your attraction?

Odysseus, very obviously uninterested in any of them: Hm, wow, what great options. This is going to be so hard.

[Penelope walks in, hair disheveled and clothes ripped up. She is also covered in blood]

Penelope: Oh, sisters. I’m back from war.

Odysseus, with hearts in his eyes as he shoves every single woman out of the way: Hello, sailor!

dere you go

Penelope warrior au but Odysseus is asking his suitors to weave a specific pattern only Penelope knows

🌟 Please read for context!

Idk how many people will actually see this but i decided to post it anyway

So recently Mark did a members livestream, where he just chatted a bit with us, and he said something that kinda struck me unexpectedly. Someone said they felt bad about themselves when Mark talked about how he kept himself motivated, working out and keeping himself busy with projects and such. So he started talking about how he used to not spend his days the best way when he was younger, and that its okay to not do so. I couldnt include everything thing he said word for word in the comic, so to just sum it up he talked about how its okay to not always work and be productive, its totally fine. He encouraged us to think about trying to spend our time the best way we could, but he also made sure to make it clear he wasnt shaming anyone for not spending their days "wisely" when he talked about staying in shape and working etc.

For me, who's been struggling quite alot the last years with what I want to do etc, the last few months have been pretty shitty, and these last days have been horrible, and I feel like im wasting my life away but im not sure how to do anything about it. So suddenly hearing Mark say that its okay to "waste" days and you dont always have to create and do your best with every day really hit me in the stomach. I kinda started sobbing, hearing those words really felt like some weight was taken off my shoulders. Idk. I wanted to do a lil comic about it. Hopefully it can remind you guys too that its okay to feel like youre wasting your time. Eventually you'll find what you want to do and you'll thrive doing it too. You have time, don't stress. Its gonna be okay !!

Saw some Epic warrior!Penelope aus where our favorite girl ends up at war in Odys place and had to throw my own au in there

When the ships of Ithaca are called to war, Odysseus by some horrible coincidence (or perhaps something more?) falls terribly sick. Physicians are certain he’ll pull through, he’s young, he’s healthy, he’s blessed by gods, they say, he has a newborn son to raise, and kingdom to protect, he has so much to live for. They say he will be better, but they cannot say when.

It has been weeks, and Agamemnon demands his presence. They don’t want to leave without the clever, Athena blessed king of Ithaca.

Penelope, still weak from childbirth, grieving for a husband she hasn’t yet lost, dresses in her loves clothes and sails off to war with 600 men. Eurylochus and Polites, Odysseus’s best friend and brother in law, are the only ones to notice.

Penelope had long trained with Odysseus, he believed she needed to be able to fight as well as he could, if not better, to assure she was safe. “I’ll always protect you” he always said “but if that terrible time comes that I am unable, I need you to be able to protect yourself as I would.” She had laughed and said she would kill any who dare attack her or her love.

Now she put those skills to use, ten years of war, pretending to be Odysseus.

Of course, her own crew realized soon enough. Her disguise did not hold up in such close quarters. With the support of her closest allies, they eventually (though some reluctantly) turned to her aid. Ensuring that, for all the years they fought Troy, she was never found out.

Athena guided her hand, she would joke to her crew after every battle she won, but the owl at the edge of her vision was no illusion.

Now, after her Trojan Horse succeeded, she sails towards home, dreading what she will find despite her joy at the idea of seeing her love again

Back in Ithaca, Penelope has no need to worry for her husbands loyalty.

Raising his son in a kingdom missing all its best soldiers, oddyseus worries constantly for his wife. Every day, hundreds of men and women invade his castle, and he cannot get them to leave. The last dregs of illness still haunt his body, and he cannot fight them all.

They ask him to marry them, to marry their daughters (most of which are far, far too young. Many no older than Telemachus)

He wants only to sail off, build a ship of whatever materials they have left and run away with his son to find his mother. He cannot, his kingdom still needs a ruler.

He misses Penelope, Polites, Eurylochus, Elopenor, Perimedes. Even Athena seems to have disappeared.

that scene from HTTYD 2 but it’s Odypen because it fits them so well

og scene under cut:

Wow, haven’t been on Tumblr for over 2 years now xD~ I’ve no idea if people are still following me here; migrated to other social medias by now like me xD;;.  I didn’t really just want to leave it like this though.

I was recently diagnosed with stage 4 fibrosis sarcoma cancer, and the doc thinks I got about 1-1.5 years left. I guess I’m really here to kinda….leave my mark? These are just some of my work from the past few years I haven’t been uploading here :3

I’m more active on Twitter, Instagram and Patreon. Every bit of support helps <3. I’m not sure if I’m ever posting back here, but thank you guys so much for reading.

So far, I think we Epic fans have mutually agreed on 3 things:

1) Penelope is taller than Odysseus

2) Polites was holding the infant when he appeared in the Underworld saga

3) Odysseus tucked his hair behind his ear when he sang “Penelope why, you know I’m too shy”
