Odysseus (talking to Athena): Thanks, Mom Athena: Polites: Hermes: Eurylochus: Penelope: Odysseus: Why is everyone staring at me? Polites: You just called Athena mom Eurylochus: You said;thanks mom Odysseus: What? No, I didn't. I said;thanks, Athena Athena: Do you see me as a mother figure, Odysseus? Odysseus: No. If anything, I see you as a abandonment figure, cause you abandoned me Penelope: Hey! Show your mother some respect! Odysseus: I didn't call her mom! Athena: No, no, no, no, Odysseus, I take it as a compliment Zeus: It's really not a big deal. I called Hera Mom once, and she's my wife Odysseus: Guys, jump on that! Zeus has psycho-s3xual issues! Hermes: Old news. But you calling Athena mommy Odysseus: Hey, mommy is not on the table here Posideon: Well, you did call her mom, dude Odysseus: You shut up. You've done nothing but lie since you got here Posideon: Okay, I was lying about the hold-up, but the mom thing, that happened Odysseus: Ah-ha. He admitted the alibi was a lie. All part of my crazy, devious plan. Athena: I believed you- Odysseus: Thank you Athena: -son. You want to talk about it later over a sparring match? Odysseus: Odysseus, whispering: I'd like that

One of my favourite things about the epic fandom is the little phases it goes through. The time after the release of the thunder saga where everyone was feeling bad about the siren and her special interests. The popularity of the trope where astynax survives before the cyclops and ocean sagas came out. The obsession with elpenor and perimedes. The winion Polites smuggles onboard the ship. Ctimene and Eurylochus. Hell, the manwhore au. The warrior penelope. One of the best fandoms I have been in, hands down. Everybody is so sweet. I absolutely adore how close the fandom and jay and the cast are. About how artists like wolfy and gigi are closely tied to the cast and people within the fandom. The fanfiction authors, ranging from people just beginning their writing journey to proper established authors. The artists. Basically its late and im slightly sleep deprived and overcome with emotions while listening to the entire saga.
