shipping telemachus with any of the generals from the trojan war is hilarious because it immediately becomes the scene from 22 jump street with the captain's daughter. you cannot tell me that if somehow achilles banged telemachus that diomedes wouldn't be absolutely dying with laughter running around like "SAY HELLO TO THE STRONGEST OF THE GREEKS BECAUSE ACHILLES IS FUCKED."
it would be even worse if the roles were reversed because you just know that Odysseus would have given diomedes advice. The others would raise themselves from the dead to give diomedes shit.
What is your favorite Creepypasta?
What's your take on how Ody would teach the campers at Camp half blood?
My favourite creepypasta is probably Candle Cove. I also really like the series of "Abandoned by Disney"
I think Ody would be the type of teacher who guides students to the solution but he won't straight up explain it (especially in things revolving tactics). He is more precise when it comes to physical training.
Do you have any myths about Diomedes after he gets turned into a god?
What was Titan Odysseus's childhood like?
1. not yet
2. A childhood of a titan is a vague timeframe. Odysseus remembers the time where people weren't created yet. He remembers the time without worship and different meanings of pleasure. There was a time when he just like the other ancient generation didn't possess sentimentality over acts of love making.
It used to be something as simple as drinking water from the river when you are thirsty and eating fruits when you are hungry. Odysseus still remembers the names of titans, nymphs and satyrs that used to share with him pleasure. He isn't sure if he sires any children from that time since children made between titans or ancient gods like Nyx or Gaya were growing up so fast they barely needed parents and they quickly understood the meaning of domains that they embodied. After all he barely remembers Gaya or Eros (in Hesiod's Theogony Eros as spiritual embodiment of love was made by Khaos instead of being son of Aphrodite) ever nurturing him or teaching him about his domain. He WAS the peace. He was what calmed those in distress and what allowed others to enjoy a quiet existence of nature.
But then the people arrived. Those creatures made out of clay were fascinated to the titan who despite living for centuries was maybe in his teen years.
They lived for such a short time that they saw importance in the smallest of things. Odysseus loved seeing how people would put a lot of care in creating tasty food, building homes or nurturing their youth.
He then also witnessed the true meaning of marriage and family. People who lived for such a short time would find another half to share life with. They would do everything together and even refused to share the nights with anyone else just to prove their devotion.
While Odysseus never found interest in the idea of being worshipped by the people, ha absolutely fell in love with the marriages. Now he couldn't imagine having an affair with anyone that wasn't this special for him. And so he waited until he found himself someone so special he would like to share his life with.
So that question's got me thinking of some horrifying possibilities. Like, the severance dual soul theory. You know the movie Severance, right? Where you separate into a clone, where a clone keeps memories of your work half, and the you that's outside all day keeps memories of just being you, and that clone just makes money and stuff for you. Yeah, that. Is that what's happening to a demigod soul, when the divine half goes up to enjoy Olympus, and the mortal soul just goes to either be tortured in Tartarus, or just living their lives, just wandering forever, whatever might be the case? And what's even more horrifying? Do they know? Like, are their minds still connected? Or does the mortal half just, like, cease to exist? If so, does some memories go along with it? Or does the memories of the mortal half and the divine half just fuse together?
Once again I don't think that's the idea behind the "mortal half" that demigods have. It's more like genes.
Greek mythology has a myth about having souls split in half but it is a story explaining soulmates. What it was was that people used to look differently. They looked like a mix of two people at once, but one day they got split in half. Now people are always searching for the other half.
It might also answer your question. In this case a split soul is simply like a different person who enjoys their own life.
When demigods die they are usually just dead (as a proof we have Achilles in the Odyssey)
Do you think Titan Odysseus looks any different from God Odysseus? Are there personalities any different?
How exactly do Diomedes, Penelope, and Odysseus go about discipline/raising Telemachus ?
Any fun facts about them as deities (Telemachus and Penelope)?
What are the reactions of those from the kingdom of Argos (if he somehow managed to convince them of dating a Titan and a goddess)?
Okay so I have a headcanon about titans that they are much more of an embodiment of the domain they represent. It basically goes
Chaos > ancient gods (Gaya, Nyx, Tartarus) > Titans > Gods embodying elements (Limos) > "Olympian gods" > minor gods > nymphs/spirits > demigods
The further it goes the more human they are. For example Limos as goddess of hunger embodied her element to the point where even Demeter couldn't get close to her, or how Helios is sometimes described as the sun itself which never happened to Apollo.
Odysseus as a titan of peace would cause his surroundings to become calm. He sometimes visits cities that were victims of a panic to calm them down. He also helps by visiting places that are meant to be sanctuaries like temples. If he would stay too long he could risk people acting like lotus eaters and not being willing to work so he makes sure to not stay in one place for more than a month.
Titan Ody looks more like a harpy than a human (he has harpy legs and his body is mostly covered in feathers with exception being his chest, neck, arms and face) he has a pair of wings on his back and on his head.
God Odysseus looks mostly like a man in his twenties with wings on his lower back and head.
Raising Telemachus is different depending if it's god Odysseus or titan one. If he's a god, he, Penelope and Dio would stay in Argos at first and make sure if Telemachus is a god or not (since gods do not always give birth to other gods). Telemachus would be raised among people of Argos until he develops his domain.
If Odysseus is a titan they would raise Telemachus in the fields that are seen as Ody's main domain. Diomedes would make sure to take Telemachus regularly to some cities to make sure that he would know more about people. (Since God Ody is easily startled by people and titan one can't stay with them too long without affecting them)
In both Odysseus would share stories with his baby and show him many places while Penelope would introduce Telemachus to many books, arts and crafts.
Ody is more relaxed about raising Telemachus. He is a little bit overprotective but at the same time he wants his baby to enjoy what the world has to offer. Penelope is a kind but stern parent. She is the one who established things like bedtime or will give him timeout for misbehaving. Diomedes is at first confused as hell because he knows nothing about raising kids but he gets better with time. He also was only recently granted godhood or he is about to so he is still figuring out all the god stuff while trying to raise a baby that can easily lift him.
With the people of Argos it's a funny story.
At first they obviously didn't believe him when he said he's a lover of a titan. But once Sthenelus realised that Dio isn't lying he's PANICKING! Everyone knows that Odysseus has been married for over a century. They are scared that his wife will punish Dio and the entire Argos for this situation. They want to build a temple for Penelope to beg her for forgiveness only to turn out that Penelope doesn't mind sharing her husband (especially since the first thing Ody did was to ask for his wife's permission to have a date with a pretty human.) Dio decides to stay human until he finds someone to replace him on the throne and Sthenelus is always sweating bullets when he feels the presence of the titan and the goddess.
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.
How do any of Telemachus' parents handle the affections that other deities or mythical creatures might give to their son? I mean, considering Titan Ody's experiences with affection (that one goddes that cursed him) before he met Penelope and Diomedes .I'd imagine he'd be a little weary. How does Telemachus handle it himself?
What are their favorite foods? (godly food or otherwise)
Telemachus is rather blunt and unlike his father he doesn't mind openly rejecting someone. Ody also might create shelters for his baby and Diomedes and Penelope don't mind beating up annoying gods.
Apollo would be banned by Athena from getting close to Odysseus once he has a different mate than a sun god.
Apollo while being with Ody he didn't understand that he was a bad guy in this scenario. He has a rather shallow understanding of mortals so in his eyes he was a perfect partner and mate to Ody.
Telemachus isn't honestly as weird as some other greek characters. Especially since it wouldn't be common knowledge what happened between Apollo and Odysseus.
How about Omega Odysseus who was secretly courted by Apollo (not eldritch one). When he was a teen (before Penelope) he used to train archery in the favourite spot in the forest. There one day Ody witnessed a beautiful hunter similar age as him who would ask to join in and even help Odysseus improve his techniques.
Athena sensed that something was wrong and she flew to her champion but it was too late. She witnessed a magically created field of flowers whose smell made the young omega overwhelmed and in the middle of it was Apollo who took the form of the alpha so she could bite the omega he fancied.
A year later during the courting of Helen, Odysseus kept his neck hidden. He didn't do it to be more presentable to Helen or Penelope but because he still felt uncomfortable when trying to explain how he got it.
Interesting π go on
My take on this is that Athena is gonna fist fight her brother
And that Apollo 100% going to try to make Odysseus immortal after claiming him
Kind of a Funny idea God Odysseus decides to save Helen but shape shifts to disguise himself as her so neither Paris or Aphrodite suspects anything. How do you think that would go?
Ody would either troll them seeing how long it takes for them to get tired of "Helen", or he would be preparing some special revenge on Aphrodite for trying to break a lovely marriage.
I can imagine Zeus giving cloud doggy to baby Ody because he wanted to prove to other gods that he's the best grandpa hahaha
Argos is best, Boi. Do you think Odysseus would still have him in this universe, or if he did, how did that come to be, and what's his role?
I don't know which one you are talking about???
In the eldritch au he has Argos as a companion and was a gift from Poseidon. (Odysseus is LONELY in this au. because of like reasons. *hids*)
in the god au. He has Argos who is a cloud doggie (gift from Zeus)
Poseidon just being a jealous little pretty fish God, owww, you want kisses too cutie thing? *Smooch smooch in forehead and cheeks*
βπΊπ¦
Yeah no, you got the wrong Poseidon to smooch and even got him angry, you mistook my friend's one with mineπ
But yeah he does get jealous and rightfully mad if you worship others and you mistake him for others
