Penelope of Ithaca

Dodging suiters one day at a time | Wife of Odysseus | Mother of Telemachus | Queen of Ithaca

[penelope-is-waiting]

Hi I am Penelope Queen of Ithaca, I am still waiting on my husband @odysseus-of-ithaca-is-lost to come home. In the mean time I am dodging all of my suiters and raising our child @telemachus-of-ithaca by myself. I also love to weave, I weave all day and then undo it all at night so I can do it again tomorrow!

Likes: weaving, as well as my husband and my children.

Dislikes: Poseidon @idontloveanybodythatsmypower (he stabbed my husband!) and of course stupid suiters who think by taking over my house and being obnoxious I will forget about my husband and marry them. (Formally scylla we have learned to get along)

This is a form for any OCs you want to have adopted. Feel free to send in asks but this'll help keep track of y'all (there's so many lol). O

And of course, here is our family portrait @little-starshark-with-wings drew!

RP blog for the odyssey/epic the musical (although it branches into percy jackson territory occasionally depending on what blog I'm interacting with)

In character post will be colored like this

"If Ares is talking it will look like this"

Don't be weird please (and no nsfw) and don't be mad if I do not present penelope the way you want this is supposed to be fun so let's keep it that way

I do not interact with blogs based around biblical characters as I am a Christian, and it just makes me uncomfortable I also will not be interacting with post that have slurs or other offensive language such as GD.

(Penelope will not have any romantic feelings for anyone other than Odysseus on this blog warning)

And of course don't take anything I say in character to heart I don't want to offend anyone if I come across as rude I'm so sorry I don't mean to

Also, warning things can be very violent on this blog I usually try to tag, but I may miss some.

And of course feel free to tag me and send ask! Your not being obnoxious I'd love to be tagged or receive a ask that's what I made this account for was for all yall to have fun and interact! (On that note tho do not start sending me messages if I do not respond. I will not respond if you do that)

Also I'm the admin of the ooc discord server and community for greek mythos rps here on tumblr if you run a rp blog here on tumblr for greek myths send me a dm and I'd be happy to invite you to join!

*penelope could not believe her eyes when she saw Polites she knew that meant her love was nearby* Polites! Where is he!?

~ @penelope-is-waiting (lore of this blog changes depending on who I'm interacting with tbh although I do have my own lore lol just don't always use it)

[His gaze falls upon the Queen as he wipes the blood from his face, his heart wrenching at her words. The hope in her eyes for seeing her love again- he almost doesn't want to break the news. But he's likely the best person to hear it from... along with being the only person left who knows.] "He's- He's here."

[He clutches his chest as his eyes fall from hers, fighting back tears ashis fingers dig into his tunic. Best to just tell her head on, rather than let her remain oblivious.] "...in spirit."

[penelope-is-waiting]

*As he says that he was here, Penelopes heart leaped in joy, tears falling from the relief, and the joy in her love being home finally. After all these years when she knew she would not be able to hold off the suiters much longer. Then when he finished speaking, that heart shattered into more pieces then there are stars in the sky. All she could feel was numbness as her entire world came crashing down. She couldn't even think to process what he had said*

[not-the-man-you-knew]

[He sees the way her heart shatters, letting out a low sigh as he closes his eyes for a moment. He'd been dreading this moment for the last 10 years- he doesn't want to see her broken.] "I'm so, so sorry, Lady Penelope. He fought valiantly to get home to you and your son."

[penelope-is-waiting]

*she fell down in a nearby chair as she attempted to process what she was hearing. She couldnt accept this.... she had waited so long... he was coming back to her! He had too! She needed him! Soon anger fueled her. Someone or something had taken him from her and she needed to know*

How..... *she barely gasped out. Her voice weak and achey*

[penelope-is-waiting]

*you saw Ally in the dining room just crying to herself*

@child-of-harpocrates

Ally? *She walked over worried* My dear what is wrong?

[child-of-harpocrates]

*Ally signed I got into a fight with one of my friends*

[penelope-is-waiting]

*she signed back* what happened? Are you okay?

[penelope-is-waiting]

*you saw Ally in the dining room just crying to herself*

@child-of-harpocrates

Ally? *She walked over worried* My dear what is wrong?

[glykera]

Open Starter: Fireworks... Again

Glykera hated the fireworks ever since she first had to hide away from them last year. She couldn't understand how most of the other kids enjoyed them so much. Huge, loud explosions of fire and gunpowder in the sky that have made people lose limbs before. That have left people with severe burns. She could never wrap her head around it.

Once again, she hid away from them as best she could. She hated how she could feel her screws and metal plates vibrating with each boom. She hated how she would flinch every time a new one exploded. She hated how panicked it made her feel. She hated being unable to help any of the campers out there because of all the noise. If you found your way to wherever she was, you would find her covering her ears with her hands as she sat in one of the corners. If she was going to be a crybaby, she would at least do it so she didn't take up all the space on the floor.

What do you do?

(IM SORRY I DIDNT MEAN TO POST THIS LATE)

@forged-in-fire-and-brimstone @mache-of-mycenae @the-tickle-anon @the-former-godhunter @penelope-is-waiting @/anyone

[penelope-is-waiting]

Glykera are you alright? *she came over concerned*

[glykera]

She slowly looked up, still covering her ears and nodding slowly. Of course, she wasn't alright, but how come Penelope was here?

[penelope-is-waiting]

*she smiles* been a while... i apologize for that.

[glykera]

She flinched at the next boom as she slowly moved her hands from her ears. "It is quite alright. You have many important things to attend to."

[penelope-is-waiting]

Still... here come on lets find a quiter place.

[glykera]

She tilted her head. "Do you want me to get up?"

[penelope-is-waiting]

Only if you want to....

[glykera]

She slowly hoisted herself up. "I... I must apologize. Is there anything you need help with?"

[penelope-is-waiting]

*she shakes her head* no... I just would like to get you somewhere away from the fireworks... maybe we can find somewhere calmer?

[glykera]

"The Big House is slightly calmer. In order to get to Bunker 9, we must pass through the forest and avoid monsters..." She tried to think of anywhere else.

[penelope-is-waiting]

Thats fine... come on *she helps glykera up and out*

Elektra was sat on the porch of Zeus cabin with the sleeves of her flannel rolled up and the right leg of her black jeans rolled up. She had a needle in her hand, papers sprawled around zem, and glass bottle of ink uncorked nearby (but still a well distance away; xey had no intention of spilling said ink), and a phone that was somehow playing music. She seemed concentrated on her work, but you were curious and decided to walk up to zem.

Elektra, dear what are you doing?

[mache-of-mycenae]

“Uh..” she looked up, a little started to see her. “Tattooing?”

[penelope-is-waiting]

*she shook her head* and are you 100% sure thats what you want?

[vengeful-n-vicious-child-of-zeus]

”Yep, I’ve thought about it for years and have gone through many design ideas,” xey gestured to the papers littered around them, all different variations of the same design of a pair of scissors. “And there’s more than those too.”

[penelope-is-waiting]

Alright... it is your skin.... i want stop you.

[vengeful-n-vicious-child-of-zeus]

”And why do you want to stop me?” She asked genuinely.

[penelope-is-waiting]

I just dont want you to mess up and then be upset and cant remove it....

[vengeful-n-vicious-child-of-zeus]

”I… yeah I’m scared of that too. Worse comes to worse I’ll start a donation campaign for me to get it taken off at some professional place or something. Or I’ll just cut my skin off where I messed up and wait for it to heal and then finish it. But I’m not gonna mess up so it’ll be fineee.”

[penelope-is-waiting]

But then you'll have a scar.... alright alright I'll shut up *she chuckles*

[vengeful-n-vicious-child-of-zeus]

”Eh, it’ll add to my collection,” she chuckled. “But I’m sure that this is what I want.”

[penelope-is-waiting]

Alright sweetie. This is something I'd rather not distract you from so i will be back after you are done *she chuckles*
