How do you feel knowing that in a couple more hours, we will get to hear Apollo sing in Epic the Wisdom Saga???? And we're gonna see his god design/animatic of his rap battle with Athena too!!!!

I've been waiting sooooo long to her his voice that I'm a bit shaking right now XDDDDD

Would you be ever so generous and talk about your headcanons about Menelaus & Polites' relationship with Odysseus?

*cracks knuckles*

I think I should preface this and say that I'm ace/demisexual and that affects...everything. Both of these relationships are basically very deep connections/friendships that help keep them sane. Forehead kisses, snuggles, just affectionate. (which I have Odysseus VERY strange with. He's very hot and cold. He's extremely affectionate with his family but Menelaus and Polites' are basically the only two whom Odysseus will not glare at if they put their hand on Odysseus' shoulder)

I'll do Odysseus and Polites first as they're shorter.

Mostly takes place during the Odyssey. And these two are friends. During the year at Circe's...yeah, Odysseus cries on Polites' shoulder multiple times. I have a plan for Circe's thing but that's darker and... YEAH. 🥺 Someday I will write it but yeah. Odysseus is NOT well. Nightmares...other thingsksdljf ds

I have many thoughts on the relationship that Odysseus and Menelaus have. I really love having vulnerable human moments and seeing the potential of Odysseus and Menelaus? GOLD MINE!

Can you tell me about your NOTP, random headcanon and unpopular opinion about Helen of Sparta?

Thank you so much!!!

I'll save the one that'll get me crucified last! 👍

Random headcanon: Both Odysseus and Penelope were given a "photographic memory" by Athena. When Athena had "forsaken" Odysseus it was taken away. Makes it nice because a lot of the more fucked up parts of the Odyssey are a bit more "fuzzy" for him. And he hates feeling "so out of sorts". He gets it back though.

Also Athena technically took Penelope under her "wing" like, one month before Odysseus.

Unpopular Helen Opinion: In MY FICS, (It's okay if you don't agree!) She is built like Rose Quartz from Steven Universe. She doesn't have a perfect "hourglass figure". She's got some pudge on her tummy. Girl is TALL (Demigod) and CHUBBY. One of the important components of Helen and Menelaus' relationship is that they are both strong enough to lift each other. Also she's the most beautiful woman in the world and chubby women are hot af lskdjf She also SUCKS at singing. She's good at wrestling and spear work. (Sparta. I also love athletic women. Plenty of chubby women are also athletic af. If you think otherwise, literally look up women's Olympic sports participants.)

Homies, know that my NOTP can be YOUR OTP and that's okay! We can still love each other and be friends! Ignore the rest if you just don't want to see that, but know that while it kind of will be in my fics, it's probably not in the way you want it to be.

Please don't hate me and know I don't hate you or think I'm "correct"!

It's OdyDio.

These are the reasons why so avoid them if you don't want to read that! :'D This is the only time I will ever be on the "Odysseus hate train" because he's such an asshole to Diomedes.

Get ready to get booped my fwiend >:333

uhhh have i mentioned that my zodiac sun and moon signs are contradictory? :3 Aries is my Sun sign and Capricorn is my Moon sign. apparently in the astrology world that's an odd combination since Aries and Capricorn tend to clash lmao

i actually know my natal chart, looked it up for shits and gigs a week or so ago

got it from astrologycafe in case anybody wants to give theirs a look! i was such an astronomy nerd in middle school (no joke during our family 4th of July party i talked my older cousin's ear off about astronomy. he sat there and said "I'm learning more about astronomy from my baby cousin than I do from school." he was a sophomore when i was in 6th grade haha sadly haven't seen him for quite some time rip) so OF COURSE i peeked into astrology for a bit just to see what it was lol I don't put much stake into astrology but it's pretty fun and amazing when it does get something right!

oh yeah and ofc that was the subtle gateway in greek mythology obsession. amazing how my interest, no matter how small, was always there when it came to mythology <3

graduation/my internship heh. I graduate on May 16th and my internship is likely to begin a little before that, towards the end of May, or in June. I'm still waiting for the announcement on whether or not I got the internship from the firm I had a couple interviews at. supposed to get it this week, and it's thursday, so hopefully it'll be soon!

3. Trick question: Least favorite canon thing about Penelope?

14. Assign a fashion aesthetic to Telemachus.

18. A character Odysseus has a relationship with in canon that you admire? (it's easy to say his family but surely there are other people who don't hate him??)

sjadlkf sTHANK YOU SO MUCHH!!! ❤

3.) Ohoho, you asked a question that hit a bullseye >:)

Everything about Penelope is my favorite BUT while I love Athena, I REALLY HATE THAT ATHENA'S GO TO METHOD TO HELP PENELOPE OUT IS TO JUST KNOCK HER OUT >:( I was getting mad after a while because WHY?! Yes, if she's crying or she needs to relax then sure. I mean I LOVE how Athena appears to her as her sister to calm her down... BUT WHY IS THAT YOUR SOLUTION EVERYTIME?!!! klsfj lksjfd

My interpretation is that that's just the "Narrator's POV" as I know the Odyssey keeps Penelope "mysterious" on purpose (she's that cunning 🥹). So the narrator just THINKS "She's probably sleeping" when actually she's scuttling around the palace doing shit of her own >:D. kind of secret passage style (except not. I love writing Penelope as the lovely half-naiad she is (sharp teeth, breathes underwater, slightly pointed ears, catches fish with her mouth. HOT WIFE SHIT 🤤) so it's more like there are a lot of fountains/small canals/waterways in the palace that she makes use of as Odysseus built it with that in mind, knowing how much she loved that in Sparta (he really wanted her to be at home in Ithaca since it's so different 😭)

14.) I think he'd be the type to want mostly casual clothing and I headcanon him as someone who lowkey hates the feeling of jewelry. Also, while he's basically only a QUARTER Nymph, he has SOME naiad traits (Basically he's kind of like Her but it might be hard to notice at first. his ears are not as pointed for example.) so he ALSO likes clothing he can just jump in the water in and not have too much "drag" (When Odysseus comes back with a fear of water, it's very nice to have a water wife and son who can help you through it 🥹)

Modern day? This boy has little to no fashion sense. Are you kidding me? He's all over the place. Maybe he gets his fashion act together but as a teenager? NO! Cringey boy (affectionate.) but he's pretty so he makes it work!

Can we get some headcanons Argos (Odysseus' dog)?

YEAH!!! Thank you for the ask!!!

So, I have a big pup so I base a lot of what he does on things she does. Like the "sneezing noise" dogs do when they play and how she'll often roll around on the couch with her belly up because she wants to play.

And ALSO as someone who has a lot of family members who hunt with dogs, most dogs even when they have "jobs" have time when they're "off duty" and can play! :D I plan for that to be the same for Argos and it's why Argos is one of the best pups he has had. How he's a fun dog to play with and have as a companion but still knows "when he's working". As I also plan for him to also be a "guard dog" for Telemachus. As Argos is INSANELY probably near 21 in my fics, as a puppy will NOT be hunting yet xD and with how they say he was such a GOOD hunting dog, he's had some experience with hunting!

Does this pup ever love Telemachus. You know those videos and things where there are dogs that just look at babies and follow them and are super protective? That's Argos with Telemachus. Your son? You mean OUR son.

I really hate the idea of Penelope and Telemachus just fucking ABANDONING him, as a pet owner myself, if I knew my critter got neglected that badly I don't think I could forgive the people who did that. So I plan that while Penelope and Telemachus tried really hard to take care of him, during the suitors it was hard to sneak away. Being naiad-born, they'd both try to sneak around with the canals that Odysseus had built in the castle in the first place, but it ESPECIALLY got bad when the suitors found out that she'd been lying about the shroud. And with Telemachus being away...

Dogs, especially old ones, can get bad really really quick :')

The reason he stayed alive so long was also because before Odysseus left, he left him as a "guardian" over his family. Odysseus was finally able to "release him from his duty" when he got back.

What do you think the cousin duo Telemachus and Hermione will be like?

lkdjf HELL YEAH!! (Thanks for the ask!! :D )
