I bet you have no clue who just asked hehe he >:) /silly

Nooooo of course not, whoever could it be? /silly

[king-odysseus-of-ithaca]

What God has granted me favor

What deity has blessed my life

For me to have met you,

To have known you,

To have loved you.

I'd find you over and over again

I'd tell you why you're perfect

Kiss your scars and brush your hair

Clean your feathers and hold your hand

There is no place I'd rather be

STOP I will cry. I will CRY. /lh /pos

Sometimes I think you are too good for me /aff

[king-odysseus-of-ithaca]

D:

Tem my son why did you send this to me. do you derive joy in sharing the suffering /nm /lh /silly

"Astynax (the infant) was quiet and didn't cry when Odysseus was holding him and was even smiling and reaching out for him, because Odysseus was wearing his helmet, so he must have thought it was his father, Hector, picking him up."

Me after reading this take:

[king-odysseus-of-ithaca]

I. Think it's actually so mean and evil of the gods to put us so many miles apart. Would give anything to hug you, actually /lh

NO LITERALLY. IT IS CRUEL HOW FAR AWAY WE ARE FROM EACH OTHER. CLAWING MY WAY BACK TO YOU ALL OVER AGAIN FOR THIS.

LET ME HUG YOU AND TEM DAMMIT.

Icarius: I don't think you should be courting that boy.

Penelope: You don’t have all the facts.

Icarius: Which are?

Penelope: I love him.

Noted /lh

I AM GLAD I will never be letting you go again, ever, if/when we finally meet up <3

My! Thoughts! On! I Can’t Help but Wonder! :DD

I commonly see in like animatics and stuff that I’m the first one to hug Odysseus but do you want me to be honest- it was some kinda odd combo of “He reached out to hug me and I tackled/hugged him and proceeded to bury my face in his neck/shoulder for a solid 40 seconds.” ICHBW doesn’t have that but my source is a mix of The Odyssey and Epic so I do believe the songs were like substantially more spaced out if there at all.

I don’t think Odis told me immediately after to go find Mom-

Okay that’s all lol @king-odysseus-of-ithaca can you fact check this-

[king-odysseus-of-ithaca]

😭 HELP????

Nine months in my womb... TO LOOK LIKE HIS MOTHER?!

OKAY OKAY :D

This is very true. I reached out, about to hug you -- this is my son, my son, how could I not reach out and hug him -- but also a little hesitant and unsure because would you want to be hugged? By a man covered in blood, even if I were your father, even if we haven't seen each other in so long? Because we were still strangers, weren't we, and I would not blame you if you didn't want to come close to me. And then you tackle-hugged me, and so I held you so tightly and we were just. sobbing.

I don't believe so either. I think we stayed there for a while, sobbing our eyes out and hugging for so long (we might have ended on the floor at some point lmao), and then even after that we just. sat there? in silence?

Anyway yeah the situation in our canon was a little different from what was shown in ICHBW.

THIS

Don't you dare presume the high moral ground when you've never been in that situation. He deserved what was coming for him.

"why didn't Odysseus move on from Palamedes"

If a man even DARES to almost make me kill my son while HOLDING DOWN MY CRYING WIFE (who just gave birth not long ago btw) HURTING HER PHYSICALLY, MENTALLY, AND EMOTIONALLY, I would also have my best friend stone him to death

[king-odysseus-of-ithaca]

One of these days you're going to kill me with your words /silly

^ trying to be calm. trying to be normal. brain is a puddle. /pos

Te tenir, c'est tenir les étoiles

T

'aimer, c'est aimer la lune

Te connaître, c'est connaître l'univers

Tu es l'étendue même de l'éternité

Tu sais ce qu'il y a dans mon cœur

Je ne sais pas comment te dépeindre autrement

que par ces mots ternes

Ces lignes inutiles

Répétées et rabâchées

Ne suffiront jamais à

te dire l'adoration de mon âme

Je suis marqué par les souvenirs

De nous tels que nous étions

Et ma joie ne faiblit pas

Comme il m'est permis de te connaître une fois de plus

Que cela dure,

Mon océan le pluscher,

Ma mer la plus profonde,

Mon corbeau ailé,

Mon olive

English Translation-

To hold you is to hold the stars

To love you is to love the moon

To know you is to know the universe

You are the very expanse of eternity

You know what is in my heart

I amunaware of how else to depict you

Other than these lackluster words

These useless lines

Repeated and rehashed

Will never be enough

To tell you of the adoration in my soul

I am marked by the memories

Of us as we were

And my joy does not ebb

As I am allowed to know you once again

May this last,

My dearest ocean,

My deepest sea,

My winged Crow,

My olive tree

I ALSO WANT TO BE ASKED THINGS *eyes my sudden influx of followers* I know you're there, guys, my most popular/liked post CANNOT be the reblog about me being pathetic about Penelope (that's a lie it absolutely can be) (it probably should be)

Anybody, everybody, please send me asks. I want to talk to people guys. I only ask that you be normal (no creepy or weird questions) otherwise, go wild

- Penelope

[king-odysseus-of-ithaca]

hello all my fictionfolk friends, today i come bearing not a confession, but advice.

your memories and people you knew are important, but you should also cherish this existence while it lasts, too. find ways to carry those precious times and people with you through this life, and don't force yourself to carry several lifetimes' worth of regret through this life. the world is a hard place right now, but remember that we have each other and that there is still plenty beautiful and special about this world too. take time to appreciate it while you can, so that you can look back on it just as fondly as you do canon memories later on, or perhaps even *as* canon memories later on. you only have one chance to live this life, so make the most of it.

Beautiful, beautiful poem <3

Olives are bitter at first

Inedible

Plucked straight from the bough of a tree,

You shan't eat them,

Lest you wish for an unpleasant surprise

I learned the hard way

Olives in hand

Under a tree, swaying over the land

He was in the branches

I was in the roots

"Why do we soak these in water for a week, when we could eat them from the tree?"

I ponder

You look down

"I dunno."

You look back at the stars

I shrug

I bite down

And then I know

The tounge-curdling taste

The bitter flavor

I spit them back out

You laugh

There is no malice in that laugh

I laugh with you

I never ate one fresh again-

But I looked at those Olives

With a fond kind of respect

You'd never let me live it down

I know

But I looked at you with that same fondness, too
