for this year could there be a different color paletter for the promts, rules ect? (or maybe muted down version?)
I really wanted to partake last year but the colors of the rules and promts would make my eyes burn so i couldn't read themđ (i didn't want to be rude and ask at the time bc you'd already made it and everything, but i thought i'd ask this year)
no worries if not tho! đđđđđđđđ
Oh apologies! We'll have a dimmed down palette to accomodate you better! Please do feel free to hit us up and ask if you have any issues with the upcoming prompts!
Last year's Penelope Week was held from the end of July to the first days of August. With the month of July quickly approaching, we just want a little interest check for those interested in Penelope Week this year?

Hi!! I don't mean to look demanding or anything so I apologize if I do, but considering Penelope week is almost over, could we perhaps have a sort of do-over week?? For those who are chronically late like I am?? (đ„Čđ„Č) I believe something something similar was done with Diomedes' week!!
That's a really interesting idea! Would love to look into it truth be told.
Would the people be interested in have a couple of days designated as Extra Penelope Week Days for late submissions for our Penelope Week prompts? đ
We plan on having 3 additional do-over days for Penelope in October - so everyone who couldn't post their fics, art and other creations for Penelope Week can do so!
Do vote below on which days you'd find best and most comfortable!!

Another late entry for @weekofpenelope! I think it probably fits best under the 'mental health' prompt, though I already wrote a fic for that as well (which was partially inspired by this song). You could consider them companion pieces, in that sense. I hope you all enjoy it!
Song used: The Tower - Vienna Teng
These are the very talented artists whose animatics I used for the edit: Ximena Natzel, MarComie, Stella Luna, Duvetbox, Neal Illustrator, Gwendy | NS2D Studios, Gigi, and AnniFlamma. Please support their amazing work!
If you enjoyed this, you might also like my more odypen focused edit.
Thank you for watching, and continuing to celebrate Penelope week with me even after it's ended. <3

The second half of my @weekofpenelope fic is now out! It is for the prompt 'healing', while the first half was for 'mental health'.
Read it here! I hope you enjoy it.
Penelopeâs eyes slowly opened.Â
For several moments she simply stared at the hazy shapes above, as her gaze adjusted to the low morning light and the world coalesced into recognizable forms around her. She was looking at the canopy of their bed, more familiar to her than the lines on her hands. She blinked, and shifted a little beneath the blanket, and with the movement noticed warm and familiar weight at her right hand. She glanced over, and saw two huddled figures hunched near her side.Â
They were both sleeping: Telemachus leaning back against his chair, clothing rumpled, his hair wild and unkempt. Odysseus was the one holding her, and was half folded over onto the bed, grip secure and unyielding, his head tucked near her hip and their clasped hands. His face was so different from how she had last seen it in sleep, finally relaxed and at peace. His brow was drawn tight, and he twitched, gripping her harder as he pressed his forehead against their entwined hands. His lips moved, and among mumbles she couldnât catch she heard her name.Â
Gods, how could she have let this happen? How could she have let such weakness overwhelm her? Her eyes stung, and she exhaled shakily, trying to stay quiet so as to not wake them. They looked so tired. So worried. All because she hadnât been able to survive some hours alone? Because sheâd let her mind twist into knots until she couldnât tell reality from her fears? While they had been working so hard for Ithaca, she had been clawing at her own face and sobbing simply because they were late for sharing a meal with her.
All those years with vipers slithering in the halls, trying to corner her, baring their fangs at Telemachus, but now when her husband was home and their son was safe she couldnât endure mere solitude?Â
She breathed deeply, trying to keep as still as possible, but as she had feared even that was enough: Odysseus twitched again, and this time his eyes opened. He didnât seem to realize she was awake at first, his thumb tracing lightly along her knuckle, and he rose slowly, as if beneath some invisible weight. The moment his gaze met hers, however, whatever heaviness was upon him seemed to vanish.
âPenelope,â he breathed, leaning closer and bringing her hand to his chest, while his free hand reached for her face. She leaned into the touch as his fingers brushed her cheek, tucking the wilder curls behind her ear.Â
âHow are you feeling?â he asked gently, kissing her knuckles. âYou should have some water, if you are able.â

The second half of my @weekofpenelope fic will probably be out tomorrow (apologies for the lateness), but enjoy this little preview in the meantime! Despite what this may indicate it will fit that âhealingâ prompt, l swear.
If you missed it, I posted the first half yesterday, and you can read it here.

The nightmare always began the same way.
Not as a dream at all, but an extended memory of the moment Penelope drifted to sleep. When the warm and precious sensation of Odysseus was in bed beside her, something she had not stopped reveling in, though it had been over six months since his return. Every second of it was a gift, yet cloaked in a fierce ache at the same time.Â
She stared at him in the dark, watching the rise and fall of his shoulders, smiling even as tears burned in her eyes. Sometimes she did it for hours, until he began to tremble and whimper, caught in awful memories and tormenting dreams. Then, she would comfort and wake him as best as she could; some nights it went well, and it felt as if she said all the right things, that she truly soothed the lingering wounds that clung to his mind. Other nights she only seemed to make everything worse, at least until he eventually calmed. He always sought her out then, regardless of how poorly her comfort had been provided: he still wanted it. Wanted her.Â
And, Gods, no matter how much her heart tore at his pain, how her failure to help him wrecked her very soul, she clung greedily at his want, his need for her as if it were air and her lungs could never have their fill. Though he was no different: he clutched to her as if by holding hard enough their bodies would meld together, ribs and heart and lungs one in the same, as it so often seemed their minds were.
Penelope never wanted to let him go. Could hardly bear it. Even just turning her back to him as they slept was too much: she had to see him, to feel him nearby, know that he was there and the years of fear and enduring were over. Without that, without the tangible proof of him in her hands or at her side, she could forget. Slip back into those years as easily as a chiton fell along her shoulders. That his return and protection of their home was simply another dream borne of her longing heart, a desperate wish slowly worn down by terror and waiting and waiting and waiting â
Odysseus is here, she reminded herself, as she watched him breathe, and her own body slowly lost its fight against sleep. He is home. Telemachus is safe. The suitors are dead. It is over. It is over.
It is overâŠ
Written for @weekofpenelope, for the prompt "Mental Health". The second half of the story, for the prompt "Healing" will be up tomorrow or the day after.
A lot of this fic was inspired by the desire to show Penelope's struggles, as well as her being the one to receive comfort and support, rather than always being the one that offers it instead. Title comes from this song, which I find to be very fitting for Penelope overall, and I plan to make an edit dedicated to her using it as well.
Thank you for reading! I hope you enjoy it. Let's all continue to show love for our Queen Penelope <3333
