I'm Obsessed With Tall Penelope And Short Odysseus, I Fully Believe She Looked Down When Ody Got Back.

What is your take on an eldritch gods au?

I always imagined the gods like Nyx, Tartarus, Gaya, Uranos etc as eldritch gods. Meanwhile their descendants are becoming more and more human-like.

When it comes to other gods as eldritch I rarely thought about it until I found this artist on Instagram. I love their ideas when it comes to eldritch gods. https://www.instagram.com/the.angel.incarnate?igsh=MWpwYmJjY2dobzVlNw==

I have some ideas for how the relationship between Ody and Athena would change and for some interactions between gods and mortals but most of it is not polished.

All I can say for now is that Athena would obsessively insert herself into Ody's life. At first it would be thought that she does it out of parental love but then it becomes clear that it's something more and it's not good. She envies any connection that Odysseus has to others and she demands to have it too. It would come from the fact that it's the first time she takes interest in a human since his young age. Kids don't understand how they are supposed to worship gods so kid Ody would treat her with warmth which confuses the goddess but then she becomes obsessed with it.

I'd love to know what you think of Anticlea and Ctimene!!!

Menelaus would probably be a good husband who would care for her and give her tons of gifts but at the same time he would absolutely be overprotective!!!

Imagine him complaining that a basic greek armour is too short and is exposing her too much hahaha

Ody probably has her rebellious moments where she pretends to go to meet with some princesses only to cause chaos in disguise hahaha

And I bet Dio would be stubborn as hell. He would look for any way to get closer to Ody but ever since he welcomed her by kissing her hand, Menelaus was ready to draw some blood. Meanwhile Sthenelus and Euryalus would do their best to stop their brother from potentially starting a war over the omega hahaha

Ody would have Menelaus wrapped around her little finger with only exceptions being situations that could possibly put Ody in danger.

What would happen if Agamemnon found out that Odysseus is female Omega during the courting of Helen?

Would he want to blackmail her/court her/ or maybe demand that she marries Menelaus since he wants to ensure a throne for his brother (not being sure if Helen would pick any of them)

There are a few different scenarios that could happen. But he wouldn't attack her. That just wouldn't happen. Because a. Thats a bad look for him to attack an omega (especially an omega woman) who's the guest of his host and b. He had braincells prior to the war so he wasn't a complete fool

1. He gets her to reveal herself to everyone else and now she is getting hounded by everyone else along with Helen. (He would make a fool of her in front of everyone when he outs her too)

2. He attempts to blackmail her into getting Helen to pick him and would demand she marry his brother so he has a throne. And this Would also include getting her to reveal herself and humiliating her. The hardest part is convincing his brother to go along with it because Menelaus isn't the type to marry someone doing it out of distress. (But he would also be the safest option for Ody to marry)

3. He courts her himself. Because hey Ithaca would be a nice edition to his kingdom and forces her to marry him. This is the worst case scenario but also least likely to happen. He has seen Odysseus fight. And I don't think he would want to go through the pain of trying to "tame" her.

4. He doesn't tell anyone and blackmails her without a demand she marry his brother but would blackmail her into marrying one of the other suitors to put her back in her place. And most likely that suitor is the one who reveals she's a woman.

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 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.

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

i love book 11

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.

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.

Poseidon just being a jealous little pretty fish God, owww, you want kisses too cutie thing? *Smooch smooch in forehead and cheeks*

—🌺🦊

Yeah no, you got the wrong Poseidon to smooch and even got him angry, you mistook my friend's one with mine😭

But yeah he does get jealous and rightfully mad if you worship others and you mistake him for others

Working on the second chapter of "Sing, O Muse, of Agony". New characters are introduced adding to building drama 🤭🫣
