If I may ask, how is Ody doing in the Warrior! Penelope AU? Is he doing alright? How's he fending off the suitors swarming the palace for a shot at earning the heart of the King?(Even if we all know there's only one person with that claim) And how about Telemachus, is he doing okay?

In all seriousness, I am genuinely curious about your take on Odysseus and Telemachus in this AU, plus a little about the suitors.

(Also, your art is amazing!!)

pff Ody is never doing alright, what are you talking about

he's spending 20 years pretending to string his old bow to buy time over the suitresses (is that a word?) (woman suitors.). Then the challenge is whoever gets to finish his wife's old shroud gets to be the new queen, and this beggar old woman somehow finishes it perfectly

and telemachus is honestly the exact same thing

I made this previous post about my version of Warrior!Penelope and the main universe Odysseus meeting and her telling him about how Dionysius temporarily cursed her with madness and hallucinations to make her kill her crew after massacring the Lotus Eaters for getting their men killed by the cyclops and while I do mean for that to be a serious, deep moment....I can't help thinking of this.

Warrior!Penelope: I killed over 500 men with my own two hands.

Main!Odysseus:.....*He blushes* Damn...

SPOILER!!

SOME NAKED MALE BOOBS AND PROBABLY EATING DISORDER AND (I BELIEVE) SEVERE WEIGHT LOSS UNDER THE CUT! STAY SAFE, FOLKS <33333

I was thinking about swap au with warrior Penelope!...

And oh gods... Calypso, I give you my permission to choke me... God, I love her design sm!

Her knife is really pretty! And I think she has something like pants underneath that skirt

And of course sad burrito Ody...

Yeah... He looks like a living skeleton due to stress... Thank gods Telemachus takes care of his dad, either way... 💀

I like how he looks... But goddamit...

Bonus:

I like drawing siren Ody, he looks pretty

I like how the siren took on the appearance of Odysseus before Penelope sailed from Ithaca: Young, loud, normal weight, cheerful king! While the real Ody is just... Well...💀

Tips On How to Write Characters with Wings (For both fanfic writers and original content writers)

So I’ve been reading a lot of fics lately where people are either

A) Putting wings onto canon characters

B) Making OCs with wings

So I decided that, with the influx of people who are writing winged characters (and therefore the influx of errors that come with writing winged characters), I’d make a little thing to help you slap a pair of wings onto anyone!

This is also a bit personal, too, because the MC in my upcoming novel has wings!

1. Know that there are a lot of types of wings to choose from

Part of being a writer is the desire to take something (whether it be a pre-existing work or an idea in your head) and make it into your own. So, instead of just going with the classic bird wings, why not spice it up a bit? If your character is an angel, you certainly don’t have to stick to the classic depictions of angel wings. Why not give them butterfly wings or dragonfly wings?

Here’s a small list of different types of wings to choose from:

Bat wings

Beetle wings

Bird wings

Butterfly/Moth wings

Dragonfly wings

Note that these wings are for animals who can fly. There are also animals who can “fly” that actually glide, such as sugar gliders and flying squirrels.

Yeah, so the options are pretty limited, but feel free to make up your own kinds of wings that aren’t necessarily based on a pre-existing creature’s wings!

2. Be familiar with the anatomy of your character’s wings and their limits

If your wings are completely unique, draw them out. A diagram or picture is key when it comes to things like description. I’m not gonna tell you what everything does and give you Animal Wing Anatomy 101, that’s for you to research. Know that there are different types of wings and that they have different uses, strengths, and weaknesses.

3. Never use the full extent of your research! 

Surprise, surprise!

“But wait, Maddy!” you cry, writing utensil in hand and poised to stab me. “I thought we were supposed to were supposed to show our research!”

Well, you are. Technically that’s not wrong. But, readers don’t want to know ALL of it. Over-described wings are sometimes worse than under-described wings; what sucks more than not knowing what a character’s wings look like is having to look up wing anatomy in the middle of the chapter!

Only use the most basic of vocabulary when it comes to describing the parts of the wing. Most of the time, you just have to say “bat wing” or “feathery wing” and the readers get the basic idea. (Like seriously, do you think the readers know what a dactylopatagium brevis is????? It’s a part of skin on a bat’s wing btw)

4. Don’t bring your character’s wings up only when they’re needed!!!!

Unless your character’s wings can fade away when they’re not needed, wings are a 100% real, 24/7 thing! It’s bothersome when writers mention the wings in one chapter and then only bring them up when there’s a daring escape that needs to be performed! Most of the time, I forget that the characters even have wings at all!

There is also the fact that wings aren’t all pros and no cons. If they’re functional, they’re probably big, and if they’re muscular, they’re probably bulky. If your character is clumsy, they’ll probably knock things over constantly, and if they’re not clumsy, they’ll still knock things over constantly.

Your wings are two (or four, or five, or six quintillion) extra appendages; they’re a part of your character! You don’t have to spend every second reminding the readers that they’re there, but don’t go long stretches of time without even mentioning them.

5. Your character’s wings can be a good way to indicate their mood or to provide for that little bit of description that you think you make be lacking

Why wouldn’t you want to describe the wings? I mean, you don’t want to describe every minute detail over and over again, but it’ll boost your word count a lot more than you think. They can also be used to convey your character’s feelings without explicitly telling the reader! It’s like a new set of facial expressions!

See? You can tell he’s wary and ready to fight from the movement of his wings! Also he’s crouching next to a dead body but that’s not relevant right now

Here’s a list of wing language (?) that you can incorporate into your story that will not only increase your word count, but will also add to the sustenance of your story!

Nervous

Twitch

Flutter

Ripple

Fold tightly

Fidget

Flap

Angry

Flare

Bristle

Fluff up

Ripple

Beat

Raise up

Snap open

Happy

Flutter

Curl up

Ripple

Wave

Flap

During Battle

Bludgeon

Smack

Clout

Whack

Kick someone’s legs out from under them

Snap someones neck (only for muscular wings like bat and bird wings)

Problems that may come with having wings

Poke out from under blankets and let all of the cold air in

Stepped on

Get pins and needles from being folded for too long

Squashed on chairs/ in beds/ in crowded hallways

Vulnerable in battle

Molting (for bird wings)

Hope this helped!!!

Au with Marinette as Percy Jackson twin sister and she has sea green eyes like him how would she react to kawamis and how she deal with being the air with akumas and also deal with lila

Demigod Marinette!

Okay, so her name in this is Maris (which means of the sea) because Sally is amazing at naming children and she is just overall amazing tbh

She is much more subdued than her twin brother, which turns out to be a good thing, since it allows her to apply to a scholarship in Paris for a design school, which she is accepted for. Her mother insist she go by boat instead of plane and while Mari is surprised, she agrees because she preferred it anyway.

Percy is sad to see his sister go but understands that it will be better for her in Paris instead of in New York with Smelly Gabe.

When the whole Demigod, monster thing happens and Percy is all over the news with Sally reported as missing, Mari has a breakdown in class because her only family is missing, probably dead and she doesn’t know what to do,

at that point, she already has the Kwami and has become the guardian early because of Master Fu’s untimely passing. The Kwami try to comfort this girl and when the news of Percy and Sally being okay reaches Mari she weeps of joy and goes home immediately, damn the consequences! She needs to be with her family right now. 

By the time she gets back, Sally is waiting for her and takes her to camp halfblood where she is immediately claimed because she is Percy’s twin, she could only be the daughter of Poseidon as well. She does not care one bit, grabbing hold of her brother and berating him for worrying her all the while babbling about how much she missed and loved him. 

Almost everyone else is staring because “Uh, who is she?” “My twin sister”

When the Kwami come out, everyone is freaked out. the Kwami are pissed at the Greeks and have half a mind to charge up to Olympus and demand justice for these children and both surprisingly and unsurprisingly, it is Tikki leading them. Mari has to talk them down, which the other campers find both entertaining and horrifying because those are tiny, powerful GODS!!!!!!

Maris doesn’t understand what the big deal is because they are all sort of the weird extended family she never had in her eyes. 

So, you know all the different interpretations in how people draw (epic) Odysseus ?

Examples:

(Gigi, duvetbox, aniflamma, Ximena Natzel, and Wolfythewitch respectively)

What version of Odysseus (including but not limited to these examples) would win against the others in a fight?

Comment / reblog with the Odysseus drawings you want to see, and who you think would win. Polls start soon

Suitor calypso...

I like this

The siren took one look at Odysseus and said ‘girl dad’ and no matter how wrong she was, I respect it.

Random thoughts that keep CC up at night no. 230394: Warrior!Penelope edition

So I haven't seen a lot for Odysseus in this AU (which, fair, it isn't about him) but I had a few thoughts

- of course after a while, suitors for Odysseus start showing up, but ofc it's women instead of men

- because of this, the castle isn't as trashed as it is in the original Odyssey, but a lot of the Ithica family's money and food is being used up by the suitors

- instead of intimidation like the male suitors use on Penelope, the suitors for Odysseus try to seduce him

- a lot of the women are seen with provocative clothing and lots of jewelry to make them look expensive

- all of them fawning to get Ody's attention meanwhile all he's thinking is "I miss my wife D,: "

- idk names for Antonius' counterpart, but she would be just as aggressive

- maybe as Telemachus starts getting older, a few start going after him as well

- instead of Odysseus making a funeral shroud for Penelope's father, he gets his childhood nurse, Eurycleia to make it (who does indeed unthread it every night like Penelope)

- for the challenge that Odysseus sets up, it's a challenge of skill like the one Penelope does, but a different kind

- the challenge? Outsmart him.

- which may seem simple at a glance compared to the challenge Penelope sets up, but this is Odysseus we're talking about, chosen by Athena for his smarts

- even if in this AU he isn't chosen by a god (which, idk if that's true) he's still sly as hell, and the only person to ever outwit him is his own wife

- the suitors get frustrated that no matter what they say, what angle they got at, they just can't outwit him

- the suitors plans near the end are a lot different, planning to have Telemachus' ship wrecked somewhere with the help of a few well placed bribes, and getting Odysseus drunk and one of them seducing him (I don't know about Greek times, but I do know in older times if a man were to get a woman pregnant, he had to marry her, so that's what I'm going off of)

- but ofc Penelope is here before they can even begin to bribe the crew on Telemachus' ship, and she kills them all :]

- Would you Fall in Love with Me is the same but Odysseus is more pathetic and saying how he's always been hers, and that's never changed no matter what she's done
