Blog rules + info!

Hello, Mod Yuu here! Welcome to my epic the musical (AU) rp blog! These are the rules and some general info!!!

Basic DNI criteria!!! Queerphobes, racists, ableists, proshippers, etc WILL BE BLOCKED!!!

Please no nsfw!!! It makes the mod uncomfortable! Also, THE MUSE IS A CHILD!!!!!!!!

NO SHIPPING ANYONE WITH THE CHILD PLEASE

This is an AU!! Not everything will be canon!

Astyanax's text will be in orange! (When Peony the Winion appears, her text will be in small pink!)

This blog contains spoilers for Epic the Musical!!

If a question makes me uncomfortable, I WILL NOT ANSWER!

More rules TBA if needed!

Info on this AU:

In this AU, Odysseus chose to spare baby Astyanax! Because of this, certain events are altered in order to ensure Astyanax's survival (for example, Odysseus and Astyanax are directly transported to Calypso's island instead of washing up). Astyanax is currently 10 years old!

Astyanax’s birthday is March 7th!

Please feel free to ask any questions!

*pinches his cheeks* Awww such a sweet babyyy, *his cheeks turn red from all the pinching causing whimpers*

*Odysseus is sharpening his sword*

ah—um— what are you doing? This kinda hurts…

[hesjust-a-boy]

it’s fun scary. Do you like fun scary?

i think so, yeah! As long as there’s no serious threat. Sometimes when I play with Tele, he hides behind pillars and scares me! It’s fun and we laugh about it! That kind of stuff is ok :3

huh—?

[hesjust-a-boy]

do you like scary things?

depends on the scary! is it fun scary or scary scary? :<

[hesjust-a-boy]

There, I see it…

Astyanax returns home after a long time at sea.

Astyanax doesn’t know exactly how long he’s been at sea. He doesn’t really remember WHY he was gone, anyway. Something about diplomacy?

Either way, he’s home.

Stepping onto the wood of the dock, he looks around at the surroundings he’s missed for so long. He brought some foreign flowers home, planning on planting in the palace’s gardens…he can’t wait to go back there.

Now that he’s finally home, he can relax…

[hesjust-a-boy]

Hector of Troy on Tumblr? Sounds like a good idea huh?

That is what you are probably thinking so let me introduce myself 😁

I am Hector Priamides, son of Hecuba and Priam and crown prince of Troy

I like:

kisses from my wife

most of my siblings

cuddles with Polydamas

tea

horses

my bathing chambers

dancing

sleeping

I dont like:

fighting in a war

Achilles

actually most of the Acheans

Paris (most of the time)

bird signs

silver jewelry

Now let us clear up a few myths shall we? I have dealt with enough drama to handle whatever you have got for me. So please do not be shy and ask your favourite trojan prince (please just say yes to that) every question you have.

*An odd flash of green and white light erupts outside of Ithaca's palace, and once it fades, there stands a person.*

*It was difficult to tell if they were male or female, and if they were actually mortal or divine...*

*They looked around briefly, not that it seemed to matter, due to the cloth over their eyes. It seemed to just be instinct to do so. Then, they slowly began walking, staff in hand, and lightly tapping on the ground.*

--- @prophet-with-the-answers

“Ah-?” Astyanax is surprised by the sudden new presence, awkwardly stepping out of the way as to not get hit. He tilts his head as he follows this person a few steps before deciding to speak up.

“Hello?”

[prophet-with-the-answers]

*They paused, and turned themselves around carefully. As if being able to see the child, they looked down,*

"Hello there, young one."

*They had a breezy tone to their voice, and was haunting. But, it was oddly calming, as well.*

[hesjust-a-boy]

“I recognize you…not sure how, though!” Astyanax shrugs. “You seem cool!”

*One afternoon, Rio was on the beach again. She has recently dyed her hair streaks a more vibrant blue, always trying to match the color of the sea. As usual when time traveling to this era, her bag is filled with flowers, just in case she runs into her friend who loves them.*

Astyanax trots over, stumbling a bit from his excitement.

“You’re back!”

[hesjust-a-boy]

I’m not supposed to be alive.

I’ve known that for a long time. Deep down, I’ve kind of always known.

But I refuse to die now.

Not when people I love need me. Not when they’re the reason I keep going.

Am I supposed to be here?

No.

But am I going to die now?

No.

Because for once, I want to live.

[andromache-princess-of-troy]

Hello, I am andromache of troy, exprincess of troy, my dead husband is Hector of troy.

I am now a slave of Neoptolemus of skyros, and have four kids with him, the one who is on here is my son, molossus. My owner has a wife named Hermione of Sparta.

This is my son - @molossus-of-skyros

This is my owner- @neoptolemus-son-of-achilles

And this is his wife @hermione-of-sparta

Ooc: Rules and stuff

So nothing too sexual but you can allude to it

My andromache is a victim of SA(because neo is a bitch), so those topics may be discussed there will also be slavery and abuse mentioned

My andromache is still in deep deep mourning of her husband and is still in a bit of denial of it so yeah

Don't be a biggot

She's sad and suicidal, so warning

[hesjust-a-boy]

Hm? Oh hello….Child?
