Thinking about trans masculine Telemachus
Thinking about little Telemachus hating the feminine world but staying because he doesn't want to cause more problems for his mother. Thinking about him thinking he's more attracted to the masculine world because he wants to feel closer to his father. Thinking about him taking a while to accept himself as trans because he doesn't want to be like the suitors. Thinking about Penelope saying they'll never be half the man Telemachus is about to become. Thinking about Penelope suggesting the name Telemachus so he'll always remember his father is fighting for him but is secretly a praying that the fight never reaches him. Thinking about Penelope fixing him hair when he tried to cut it himself.
Thinking about Telemachus, who was never seen as a man by the suitors and who was afraid his father wouldn't see him or accept him either. Thinking about him standing around the corpses of the suitors looking at his father, afraid he won't recognize him, only for the first word he says to him to be:
Son.
