Helloooo! I came again to comment on another passage

I might be obsessed…

I just imagined Ody singing that part of The Challenge

"Just know, I'll be here, buying you time!"

Unfortunately, weaving an infinite shroud doesn't seem to be helping much now

*cries*

Hello 👋

It's good to see you again 🫶

Well...you are right about the weaving...but I have some other plans to recreate the vibe🤫🫣🤭

What do you think god marriages are like?

Depends on the couple.

Hades and Persephone have a classic one. Zeus and Hera were supposed to also have a marriage like that but we know how it ended. Most gods have open marriages.

A new chapter of "Sing, O Muse, of Agony" is out. Let's enjoy different flavours of fluff and angst. 🫣

I have this interesting idea Siren Odysseus mixed with Warrior Au Penelope. The catch— Penelope is an Amazonian. How do you think that would work?

I don't think that would change too much for Penelope. Amazons are daughters of Ares and trained warriors.

Siren Ody on the other hand sounds interesting. I'm not sure if you mean Siren Ody as a siren encountered in the song "suffering" or Penelope who married a siren.

If you mean the song then nothing really would change. They still need information so Penelope would have to play along to lure sirens in.

If Penelope married a siren that could create an interesting conflict where Penelope respects direct honourable battle while Ody in his nature has avoiding it and using trickery instead.

It could also create a conflict where people expect Penelope to help them hunt down sirens but she can't force herself to do it.

I read this passage and I can only imagine one thing

Diomedes:

Hector on the outside:

Hector on the inside…:

Bonus with Hector's reaction anytime there's a male specimen near Ody

Giggles

Hahahahahaha!!!!🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🫶🫶🫶🫶

You are absolutely right hahahaha

Diomedes was just happy to be included while Hector was secretly beefing with a kid hahahaha

How do any of Telemachus' parents handle the affections that other deities or mythical creatures might give to their son? I mean, considering Titan Ody's experiences with affection (that one goddes that cursed him) before he met Penelope and Diomedes .I'd imagine he'd be a little weary. How does Telemachus handle it himself?

What are their favorite foods? (godly food or otherwise)

Telemachus is rather blunt and unlike his father he doesn't mind openly rejecting someone. Ody also might create shelters for his baby and Diomedes and Penelope don't mind beating up annoying gods.

For the original God Odysseus what's your version of his backstory?

I have few ideas but I'm not sure which one would be treated as the main one for the story until I have the entire plot and timeline planned.

1) Similar to the one with Poseidon where Laertes while sailing with Argonauts makes a deal that ends up with Anticlea's pregnancy.

2) God takes interest in young Odysseus' and gives him ambrosia so they could be together but Ody never wanted it.

3) Hermes has baby Ody and to make sure he isn't noticed too early by Zeus he has him raised by Laertes and Anticlea

There are a few more but those are the most planned ones.

Although deities are technically nothing like humans, do you think hypothetically they can get something like, for example, their own version of an allergy? For instance, a curse that prevents them from touching certain metals or else it burns them. If so, what would Titan Odysseus be? If he had to think of one?

Also, assuming that Odysseus or one of the other female goddesses taught Penelope how to use her abilities, what was the hardest ability for her to learn? Same with Diomedes?

If there was some godly allergy I think that could be something like ashes from ceremonial fires. That's because godly senses are pretty fragile for it to know if new sacrifices were made or if a proper funeral was organised etc. So it is easy to imagine that ashes from those ceremonies would be a little too intense for the fragile nose. (Almost like walking through perfume samples hahaha)

And with the abilities?... For Penelope it was probably the hardest to learn how to transform/mutilate her surroundings and other people/creatures. She is a person who prefers adapting HERSELF to changes instead of changing others. Also Ody isn't the biggest fan of it as well so it wasn't for him the easiest lesson for him to give.

And for Diomedes it was absolutely shape shifting. He is usually too straightforward and not too good of a liar and because of it he had a hard time doing a convincing transformation and to keep it for long enough to fool anyone.

Why is God Odysseus so shy around people?

He is an over-thinker hahaha

Ikr also a blend of "people are so delicate! I need to be careful!" and "I don't want to be too pushy like other gods so how am I gonna do it?"

So how exactly do god pregnancies work? And how different is they're aging process compared to humans when they're born? For someone like Penelope who was human before then turned into a goddess I imagine this might be quite confusing for her.

It mostly depends on god and what form they have when "trying for the baby". That's why Helen was born from an egg.

If they take the shape of the person it means it will be a normal human pregnancy. (For example what happened to Hermes and Dionysus).

Things get complicated when it's between gods/titans/inhuman creatures. Then the pregnancy can be something as abstract as a child simply appearing as a representation of their love (for example Anteros) or a child might skip the entire pregnancy or process of baby making when it embodies some emotions or past grudges (Hephaestus, Athena, Erechtheus, Ovids' Pegasus). Sometimes it might even be something very abstract (Erechtheus once again), very simple or a little confusing.

Penelope should not be too worried. Ody isn't too freaky so the weirdest thing that might happen is Penelope laying an egg.

When the child is born it mostly depends on if it's going to inherit the godhood. It doesn't always happen, even with children of two gods. If the child inherits the godhood it will quicker grow from newborn to child (around twice as fast usually - Hermes is exemption , not a rule)

Gods that are born normally are usually just kids that grow up without anything too weird. Their strength isn't usually the problem since if their parents are gods it shouldn't bring them trouble.

How did Titan Odysseus meet any of his friends?

He met his more "ancient" friends by the fact that many titans wanted to meet one another. They were always fascinated when a new one would be born since it would usually bring some interesting changes to their routines. (Especially when their existence alone was usually more than enough to affect their surroundings)

Gods usually introduce themselves to titans they encounter out of respect. Because Ody doesn't really care about the hierarchy he doesn't mind just inviting anyone interested for some wine and gossip.

With people he usually pretends to be one when walking among them. He isn't the biggest fan of people acting as his followers. That way he can see their true selves and so he becomes friends with them more naturally.

He met Diomedes by pretending to be one of the soldiers while the army was travelling. He was curious and he enjoyed how soldiers would sing songs and dance when taking breaks.

Titan Penelope? Ever thought about idea?

Not really. I'm more fascinated by the idea of titan falling in love with a human who would later become a god so they could be immortal together.

At least for me Penelope feels more special with her origin as a Spartan princess who fell in love with a titan.

So, has god odysseus (Poseidon son) met any of Poseidon's other children?

Most likely. He is probably aware of most but he only meets those he sees as not too aggressive. For that reason he isn't interested in meeting younger Cyclops. He met Bellerophon and they were rather chill together.

Ody doesn't really seek them but if he stumbles upon them he will always spend an hour or two talking or playing games.

Titan Odysseus you said that he could create sanctuaries that couldn't be easily accessed by others. How often did he use those and what was the reason he used them for?

He uses them mostly to make sure people won't be accidentally affected by his presence. He also makes them to protect people that he witnessed being chased by gods, satyrs etc.

He also used to make those when having a date with a lover so they would not be spotted together by some strangers.

He doesn't use them too often. Just when he feels it's needed.

How far do you think one can go down the rabbit hole of what ifs? Are there any two outlandish to consider in the world of Epic the musical?

It all depends on imagination and some boundaries. For example if the "what if" has literally NOTHING to do with characters and story you are basically writing something completely different.

Some of my favourite fics are a simple "what if" that is followed by a long chain of consequences. They are a lot of fun and it's nice to see authors considering a domino effect this big. (My Illiad fanfic started as a simple question that snowballed into something bigger)

For the same reason I'm not the biggest fan of stories that are just a copy and paste of the lyrics of Epic songs.

Kind of a Funny idea God Odysseus decides to save Helen but shape shifts to disguise himself as her so neither Paris or Aphrodite suspects anything. How do you think that would go?

Ody would either troll them seeing how long it takes for them to get tired of "Helen", or he would be preparing some special revenge on Aphrodite for trying to break a lovely marriage.

In the shadows of war and duty, quiet bonds are hidden from prying eyes—some tender, some painful, and some worth breaking the rules for. This is the story of a forbidden love between Prince Hector of Troy and Queen Odysseus of Ithaca, how it all started and what the war will force them to do.

So that question's got me thinking of some horrifying possibilities. Like, the severance dual soul theory. You know the movie Severance, right? Where you separate into a clone, where a clone keeps memories of your work half, and the you that's outside all day keeps memories of just being you, and that clone just makes money and stuff for you. Yeah, that. Is that what's happening to a demigod soul, when the divine half goes up to enjoy Olympus, and the mortal soul just goes to either be tortured in Tartarus, or just living their lives, just wandering forever, whatever might be the case? And what's even more horrifying? Do they know? Like, are their minds still connected? Or does the mortal half just, like, cease to exist? If so, does some memories go along with it? Or does the memories of the mortal half and the divine half just fuse together?

Once again I don't think that's the idea behind the "mortal half" that demigods have. It's more like genes.

Greek mythology has a myth about having souls split in half but it is a story explaining soulmates. What it was was that people used to look differently. They looked like a mix of two people at once, but one day they got split in half. Now people are always searching for the other half.

It might also answer your question. In this case a split soul is simply like a different person who enjoys their own life.

When demigods die they are usually just dead (as a proof we have Achilles in the Odyssey)

So, how exactly does death work for demigods? Cuz one half of Hercules went to the underworld, and one half went to Olympus. Do you think they're still connected to that other half?

I don't think his soul was split in half. It's more likely that as a demigod it takes less effort to burn away his mortality. It is something that gods were doing to people to grant them a longer lifespan but it seems that Heracles didn't need to do it for a long time.

What is your favorite Creepypasta?

What's your take on how Ody would teach the campers at Camp half blood?

My favourite creepypasta is probably Candle Cove. I also really like the series of "Abandoned by Disney"

I think Ody would be the type of teacher who guides students to the solution but he won't straight up explain it (especially in things revolving tactics). He is more precise when it comes to physical training.

So aside from making people calm, what other abilities does Titan Odysseus have? Who is Odysseus's least favorite family member and most favorite family member? ( I'm talking about those of both Titans and other Olympian gods?)

How did Odysseus manage to convince Penelope of letting him date Diomedes?

Also, what do Penelope and Diomedes do to bond with each other?

1) He can remove strong emotions, remove specific sounds, he can ensure that created by him sanctuaries won't be found and in addition to that most of the basic god powers like shape shifting. His powers are more about affecting someone's mind, emotions and senses, he can slightly affect the surroundings but he isn't too good at it.

2) His least favourite are probably Zeus, Chronos and . Meanwhile his favourites are Artemis, Helios, Pan and Athena.

3) It wasn't that difficult to convince her. She was already very happy to see Ody ask for permission to court someone. Ody just showed her Dio and after spending some time she would make it clear if she approves or not.

4) It's a magical power of two introverts to get along even when not doing anything special. They like to just talk, enjoy their hobbies or go on a hunt.

Going back to that one au where Penelope is Scylla, how exactly did Ody's crew end up meeting Penelope? Also, how did Ody's family take the news that their son married a monster ?

Is Telemachus anything like his mom? How was he born?

Since he was a kid Ody loved traveling and adventures. He would sail to the furthest regions just to experience something exciting.

When he was 17 he sailed alone and ended up on an island without any city. There he met a beautiful lady near the shores. Ody offered her most of the meal he was making for himself which made her blush. They talked for some time and when Ody woke up in the morning he noticed a basket full of fish.

He stayed on the island for around a week and every day he met with Penelope. He asked her for the name of the island so he could find her again but she hesitated saying that he would not like to see a true side of her. He jokingly asked if she's a siren and she said that it would be easier if that was the case.

A month later Ody was sailing in hopes of finding her again. He didn't hesitate to risk his own health to do so.

What he didn't expect tho was meeting a bunch of pirates who wanted to capture the beautiful prince. It was then when a monster with six heads appeared and devoured the pirates.

Odysseus was shocked at first but then he recognised those beautiful violet eyes and without any hesitation he called her "Penelope?"

It turns out that it is her true form. The human one is usually used to lure people in (she still needs to have contact with seawater) but she fell for the mysterious prince who offered her food despite risking being hungry.

It was more than obvious that those two fell in love at the first sight and with that they arrived together in Ithaca where they got married. Odysseus built for her a palace that had streams of ocean water on the floor that allowed her to move comfortably.

Laertes and Anticlea were more than confused but seeing how happy their son is they couldn't do much about it.

Telemachus could be easily mistaken with ocean nymph due to the shape of his ears. He also has sharp teeth and lightly glowing eyes.

And how he was made...well...when two people like each other very very much...

So, how exactly did God Odysseus (Poseidon's kid) come to be?

Well...it was originally inspired by your ask hahaha

But in the myth it would be that Laertes and the Argonauts were in a big danger while sailing and they promised to give Poseidon anything to save them. Poseidon agrees and the same night he slept with Anticlea.

For the first few years Odysseus was raised among his human family but his obvious godly heritage attracted plenty of dangerous people who wouldn't mind having a demigod as a partner.

Poseidon seeing his son being in danger (situation similar to Theseus and Helen) decides to take him and raise him as a god. He gives Ody ambrosia and offers him a beautiful island where he would not meet any harm.( Odysseus still visits his family and their descendants regularly.)

Ody as a titan would be a titan of peace (as calmness) and if he was a god he would most likely be a god of safety (as son of Poseidon he would probably be more connected to sailing)

Do you have any myths about Diomedes after he gets turned into a god?

What was Titan Odysseus's childhood like?

1. not yet

2. A childhood of a titan is a vague timeframe. Odysseus remembers the time where people weren't created yet. He remembers the time without worship and different meanings of pleasure. There was a time when he just like the other ancient generation didn't possess sentimentality over acts of love making.

It used to be something as simple as drinking water from the river when you are thirsty and eating fruits when you are hungry. Odysseus still remembers the names of titans, nymphs and satyrs that used to share with him pleasure. He isn't sure if he sires any children from that time since children made between titans or ancient gods like Nyx or Gaya were growing up so fast they barely needed parents and they quickly understood the meaning of domains that they embodied. After all he barely remembers Gaya or Eros (in Hesiod's Theogony Eros as spiritual embodiment of love was made by Khaos instead of being son of Aphrodite) ever nurturing him or teaching him about his domain. He WAS the peace. He was what calmed those in distress and what allowed others to enjoy a quiet existence of nature.

But then the people arrived. Those creatures made out of clay were fascinated to the titan who despite living for centuries was maybe in his teen years.

They lived for such a short time that they saw importance in the smallest of things. Odysseus loved seeing how people would put a lot of care in creating tasty food, building homes or nurturing their youth.

He then also witnessed the true meaning of marriage and family. People who lived for such a short time would find another half to share life with. They would do everything together and even refused to share the nights with anyone else just to prove their devotion.

While Odysseus never found interest in the idea of being worshipped by the people, ha absolutely fell in love with the marriages. Now he couldn't imagine having an affair with anyone that wasn't this special for him. And so he waited until he found himself someone so special he would like to share his life with.

Relationship between campers, teachers and Ody is like:

Campers: We need an adult!

Campers: *run towards Odysseus*

***

Teachers: We need an adult!

Teachers: Wait...WE are the adults...

Teachers: WE NEED ADULTIER ADULT!!!

Teachers: *run towards Odysseus*

god au:What would those at Camp Half Blood do if someone pranked them into believing that Odysseus was retiring?

Crash out

What did Titan Odysseus, Penelope, and Diomedes do as a couple? Considering Ody's abilities made it hard for them to be around him for a short period of time before they became deities, how did that work?

When Penelope and Diomedes were mortals they would have a very active first day with Ody and then calm second. Ody would then leave for a few hours and the cycle could repeat.

For example with Penelope they would play around trees, dance etc in the first day and in the second they would have a peaceful day during which Penelope would weave and Ody would carve in wood. Or they would both play instruments together.

With Diomedes they used to spar and play a lot of "tavern" games and later do something like fishing.

Also it's not like they could stay for too long with him before they got married and became gods. Penelope was a princess and she was expected to be home regularly and Diomedes met Odysseus when he was a soldier and a king. Ody usually had to be the one to remind them about their duties.

Short "myth" about Titan of Peace Odysseus.

After many days Dionysus finally found a perfect spot for his cult to celebrate. It was a small island full of fruits, flowers and other breathtaking sights.

He let his people and satyrs alone for a day while he would gather the wine needed. What surprised him was that once he was back, his people were asleep. Even when they woke up they would act too calm to enjoy a party.

Dionysus tried again and again to make them active. In the act of desperation he called out Apollo to help him.

The god of music at first laughed at the god of wine, claiming that he's so boring that even his followers mellowed down.

But suddenly the same thing happened to Apollo's followers as well. His musicians would only play lullabies and his dancers only moved slowly in embrace.

Buty gods tried to find the source of it all and it was then where they found Titan Odysseus sleeping in the nearby field of flowers.

Narcoleptic titan probably planned only to nap for a short while but black or loud wildlife on this island created a situation where nothing would wake him up naturally and now everyone was experiencing an effect of his domain.

Both gods tried everything to wake him up but nothing was helping. The river was too shallow, warm and calm to wake up titan and most animals were unwilling to help.

Finally out of desperation Dionysus lured in the loudest goat on the island and Apollo used its horn to turn it into an instrument noisy enough to awaken their friend.

They blew at it with the full power of their lungs. It was heard by a nearby island as well and even Helios would almost trip from his chariot, being startled by the instrument.

But it worked! Odysseus woke up. With slow movement he stretched his limbs. Seeing tired looking Apollo and Dionysus (they are tired since they tried to wake him up for days) he asks if he can help them with anything. The two gods explained the situation which made Odysseus embarrassed. He apologised and promised to leave the island, but Dionysus invited Ody to come back in three days. He would be able to enjoy some fun and music and he would be a huge help in calming down drunk followers of his.

The gods and titan enjoyed their time with mortals and the world was introduced to new instruments. The horn 📯

What if god Odysseus was the son of Poseidon? How much would that would change in Ody's life?

A LOT would change. Poseidon would be a helicopter parent to his son. Ody as a god of safety would focus on assisting sailors and shipwrecked people, but Poseidon would punish any man who tries to take advantage of his innocent son.

Ody would live on a hard to reach island and any nymph/god/siren/etc that would potentially inhabit it would have to be approved by Poseidon.

The reason why is because Ody is due to living near the sea he always helped people lost there but sadly some sailors out of desperation would want to do unspeakable to the beautiful young looking man with wings.

Odysseus would have wings similar to a seagull or albatross. He is also more sheltered so he relies on stories shared by people to know more about the world.

It is almost like a currency to him. You can ask him a favour and he will accept if you in exchange tell his an interesting story that he didn't hear before.

Odysseus would meet Penelope when she was sailing with her family and she accidentally fell overboard during a storm. He helped her and took her to his island because she had no idea how to explain the Ody location of Sparta. So they would spend a few days together and at night Ody was flying and trying to locate her home.

Once he did it he took her to safety. They fell in love and Ody promised to visit her but also he warned her to not try to seek him or Poseidon might punish her.

He was visiting her once a week but her cousins started to suggest that he just has another lover on his island. She didn't believe them but once her father wanted to marry her off she decided to risk everything and swim to Odysseus.

Poseidon was about to strike her with his trident but Ody shielded her with his wings. Penelope seeing it started to worry and tried to help Ody despite being in danger. Poseidon was impressed and allowed her to be with his son but she wasn't allowed to invite her family over. (There would be an additional "myth" about that). She became a goddess once she reached her twenties so she would be in a similar "age" as Odysseus.

There would be a story where Jason and Argonauts accidentally landed on Ody's island where the young god helped them and told them that they can take any food but they can't steal any treasures or stay for longer than two nights. They at first agreed but one of them got fascinated by pearl jewelry and stole a necklace. Also Jason forgot that they were there already for a day when Ody explained the rules and because of it they stayed for a day too long. Because of it they stumbled upon angry Poseidon who assumed that they wanted to hurt his son. They promised that they didn't touch him but Poseidon told them that he will only believe them if the thief who stole the necklace reveals himself and experiences a proper punishment. At first they wanted to blame Heracles since he would most likely survive it but then even started claiming to be the thief. Impressed Poseidon allowed them to go but as a punishment he moved their boat so their journey would take longer than needed.

Will you ever make a full fic of your deity!ody au?

Also I love your work! Thanks to you I am now obsessed with hector/odysseus!!

I might once I have a bigger idea for the entire story, because for now I just have an idea for a few smaller stories.

Thank you so much 😊 I'm happy you like my crack ship. In around a week or two a new chapter will be posted.
