Odysseus, Penelope, and their divine boyfriend
Ody has to stand on a chair to reach them
(29.01.2025)
Art for my PosOdyPen fic <3
I like them a lot actually idk if you could tell (I have never written a fic this long)
I lost the Sword Fight against Hermes. But worry not, I started a new story and completed it today (unfortunately, Hermes decided that he still wanted a cameo, so now that guy is going on my list - I don’t know what that list is but it exists now with Hermes right at the top).
Also, here some more memes I made while I struggled against Hermes. Memes be upon thee.
(Btw, I’ve been treating the crew like Blender!Odysseus has been, they don’t exist unless they want to be inconvenient. I don’t want to write about them but they’re always there 😭. I just want to bowl them over like pins.) Like before this story will also go on the blog. Though any other snippets I do make will just go straight there now, Tumblr is fighting me tooth and nail against my paragraphs.
~ Odysseus
Odysseus was being followed. It was not one of the divine, looking for vengeance or entertainment. Nor was it a monster, protecting its home or hunting for food.
No, it was something familiar. Something worse.
“Captain, help!” Something naughty.
Yelps and shouts erupted from the crew as something blurred around them, tripping them over and giggling. Odysseus only sighed, this was quickly becoming a familiar occurrence. They had landed on a random island, one Odysseus knew was safe from previous loops, to find more food. Just like those times before, there was nothing of worth on this island, but it was safe.
Safe for rest and sleep, safe from storms and divine rage. And safe - “Captain, move!” - for meeting little rascals with a taste for trouble.
Odysseus, having done this little reunion multiple times, crouched down; arms open to welcome the little blurr. A joyful squeak echoed in his ear when little arms clung to Odysseus’ neck. Hair blocked the looper’s vision when his cargo nuzzled into him. A moment of peace passed between them, Odysseus relieved knowing that the child was alright.
He knew that the crew was watching, unable to recall the child as always, and they would have questions and suspicions. But Odyssues had stopped caring for such things - couldn’t care for them. They would never remember, not like her. The last loop had ended with Odysseus being killed on a random island; an unfortunate incident between his crew and the locals. And as always, the little girl was stuck on the island as time rewound. Left to find her own way back to Odysseus. An exhausting journey.
The child never seemed hurt. But Odysseus wanted her to be safe.
A hand patted Odysseus’ cheek, a shy call for his attention. Before he could pull away to look at her, the child pushed something into his hand. A happy squeak and hopeful smile was all the encouragement Odysseus needed to look at his newest gift.
A screw shell. It was smooth and whole, Odysseus ran his fingers over it and felt no bumps or serrated edges. It was still wet too, making the lovely pink and red pattern shine in the sun. It was such a small thing, the shell was shorter than his middle finger and thin enough to seem fragile. One may leave it and try to find a bigger shell at a beach or just pass by. It was one shell amongst hundreds of others.
And it was the same one Poseidon had given him last loop.
Hanging in the middle of a simple necklace made by the child.
Resting on his chest as he lay on the wedding bed with the Sea God and Penelope.
Waiting.
Odysseus drew the child into a hug, shaking. The child stilled slightly, her hands patting him like he was cracking glass; warbled squeaks asking a familiar question. He only gave a tighter hug, hand rubbing the child’s head gently when Odysseus felt her pull away.
“I’m fine.” Odysseus promised, his voice thick and eyes watery. The child made another warbly squeak, clearly not believing him, but moved to return his hug. Odysseus stood up, lifting the child up and letting her cling to him like a barnacle; uncaring of his crew’s questions and needs. They would get into no trouble here, they haven’t been able to before.
In the island there is a forest, easy to traverse in and enough light peeking through the canopy to see. On this island, there are only a few small birds that can’t bring a satisfying meal to a single man. The same could be said for the schools of tiny fish that frequent the island’s shores or the scattering of wild berries growing in tiny clusters. If a starving man came to this island for salvation, he would find Hermes coming to collect his soul. However, there is something good on this island.
Further inland, perhaps in the middle, there is a clearing. One with a pond holding clear water, safe to drink, and soft grass cradling patches of wildflowers. The sun’s rays shone upon this clearing, warming stones large enough to lay on. A pleasant place to rest.
One Odysseus had shared with two Gods in pasts that no longer exist.
Now, Odysseus shares this clearing with a little joy. One who splashes into the pond to hunt for weeds and creatures. Climbs up trees to hang around haphazardly, jumping off to find a new climb to conquer. Sneaking in grasses too short to try and catch a tired man off guard. Someone who brings trouble with terrorised frogs dropped on nosy men’s heads. Someone who brings peace with the small leaves, flowers, and a shell gently woven into feathers pushing for space on his skin. A menace who giggles the day away.
Odysseus smiles, knowing he shares one of his favourite places to the little menace who will remember everything. The one currently nodding off in his lap while he braids flowers into her hair while they watch the darkening sky. He holds her in his lap, stroking her head as she curls into him. Arms wrapped around one another to ensure the other won’t leave.
They leaned against a tree, firm against Odysseus’ back; its branches and leaves providing a steady cover against the elements. The gentle winds rustled the leaves, bringing cool air to swirl around the pair after their day. The pond’s water rippled as the wind moved around and the tree gifted leaves, making a soft sound as it lapped up on the grass. Eventually, these things were rewarded by small, drowsy breaths.
Odysseus smiles. Even as his cheeks ache, he doesn’t stop smiling. He knows he has something good to find in every loop. Knows that with all the suffering and the waiting, he is not alone.
Odysseus smiles, even as sleep starts to call for him.
“Sleep well, my precious menace.”
WHUDHSHFHSHHHHH— HIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII
HUHJH- as expected w/ Hermes 😔/j
he just can’t mind his own business, nosey little guy/affectionate-
LMAO- yeaaaaahh The Crew (along with The Suitors) r mostly here just to be demonstrations of how bad Odysseus gets, minus sometimes Eurylochus. He def has character moments of guilt over Ody’s’ changed personality (bc everytime it’s obvs smthings up, he assumes it’s his fault bc he opened The Windbag oof), horror over said Captain’s steady decline in sanity + the ruthlessness / emotionless he now displays, and in general: being a outside Mortal P.O.V of Odysseus slowing succumbing to The Urgestm.
srs tho, I do feel a bit bad 4 The Crew whenever I imagine scenarios 4 Ody’ crashing out :’)
haha :D
Anyway, more memes be upon us :3 :
1st meme: AHGHFGG as I said before, accurate representation of EPIC! Hermes. He’s so powerful that the urge to add him in infects everyone’s writing 😔😔😔 (I pray 4 u man/gn /j)
2nd meme: THTHGGG THE REALISATION PGGGGG- oops- lmao Zeus was so caught up with the Babi that he didn’t stop to consider the oddness of. This is not a bastard of his. But. They look like him 4 some reason. Huh????? I imagine it’s either Hera, Athena, Poseidon or all three saying the first part to him
3rd + 4th meme: PERFECT SUMMARY OF THIS WHOLE BULLSHITEREY MANIC LAUGHTER DVFFFFFDFFDVGGFG
Kronos but actually Little Menace strikes again ✨✨
5th: omg nooooooo- don’t fall 4 the temptation man/gn gO TO SLEEP‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️ GET UR REST‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️ SHAKES U VIOLENTLY/j‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️

oh this bit is perfection just:
“Now, Odysseus shares this clearing with a little joy. One who splashes into the pond to hunt for weeds and creatures.

yeah I have no words but oh my gods this is perfect 😭🫶🫶🫶🫶
THE FINAL KICK- Odysseus smiling so much it hurts & letting Menace snuggle up on his lap as he silently rejoices on the fact that Little Menace will remember. This pint sized troublemaker will know about what’s happened just now. And will cherish it forevermore, cherish their moments together. Will. Just REMEMBER THEM…
the sheer depressing love radiating from that thought is so incredibly powerful, I love them so much Anon. You’ve made me attached Anon ☹️,,,
Fuck it. PosOdyPen fic. Enjoy
