would you date a fan?

The only fan I would date is an oscillating pedestal Lasko fan

That's the name of that Redacted character, right? Did I get the reference right?

I haven't read the Odyssey so I'm asking you. Are you telling me besides Athena, Apollo was the god who helped Odysseus and his family the most? Indirectly at least.

If that's true it's really a missed opportunity in EPIC.

No, no, the god who assists Odysseus the most after Athena is unquestionably Zeus.

Zeus genuinely has no problems with Odysseus and makes it very clear that he finds the man brilliant and would have already had him home and safe if he had his way, but he makes it clear that he's deferring to Poseidon who actually has the problem with Odysseus because, ultimately, the sea is Poseidon's domain and kingdom and Zeus doesn't intend to step on his brother's toes.

(Od. Book 1 trans. Robert Fitzgerald)

I'd definitely give third place to Apollo however. The big bug-bear about Apollo in the Odyssey is just that he's much less tangible than Athena or even Hermes who appears to Odysseus multiple times to help guide him/give him proclamations. His presence is everywhere though; like I've previously mentioned (and like he did with Jason) it's Apollo protecting Odysseus from Poseidon as he sails the sea after Odysseus blinds Polyphemus. It's also Apollo keeping Telemachus safe. His most vital role by far is when Odysseus returns to Ithaca in time for the challenge that will determine the next king. Not only is it a shooting contest whose first hurdle is to string a bow, the challenge itself takes place on a festival day for Apollo. Athena is there with Odysseus and Telemachus physically, but Apollo is looking after them in spirit, sending signs and signals to keep Telemachus especially safe.

(Od. Book 15, Telemachus warns about the state of Odysseus' house to Theoclymenus, a son of one of Apollo's prophets.)

There's also the fact that Odysseus makes sure to pray to Apollo before he attempts to string the bow:

(Od. Book 21. Beggar-Odysseus petitions to shoot his shot)

Likewise, before he slays the first suitor, Odysseus again prays for Apollo's guidance and gaze to guide his arrows:

(Od. Book 22. Odysseus commits the first of many (divinely-sanctioned) murders)

Also, as an additional thing, have Telemachus invoking Zeus, Athena and Apollo that he could see the suitors have their asses beat:

(Od. Book 18. Telemachus excitedly gushes to him mom about his cool new friend (Odysseus. Odysseus is the friend.)

There's a lot of minimisation of Apollo's role in the Odyssey because it isn't as bright and showy as his role was in the Iliad but hey, even there people tend to minimise how truly present Apollo is for the duration of the war when they're doing adaptations. Within Epic, the stage is already more than set for both Apollo and Athena to be there at the advent of Odysseus' revenge but none of that matters if that's not the creator's intention, y'know?

Calypso singing “Stay in my open arms” and then it immediately causing Odysseus to remember Polites and everyone else he’s lost

(hanahaki au below the cut)

AU where Peeta develops the hanahaki disease during Catching Fire and the only people that understand the significance of it are Mrs Everdeen and Haymitch, both of which he swears to secrecy since he's going to die in the arena anyway. Snow also recognises the symptoms (rumour has it he underwent surgery shortly after his time in D12) when Peeta is unable to hide it from the cameras during the Quell. The flowers are removed as part of the hijacking process, but whether it was successful or not is uncertain - dandelions are a stubborn weed after all, and their roots grow deep.

ctimene and odysseus being stupid troublemaking siblings (them two having fun together, without ody being pissed of at ctimene for whatever reason)

I didn't think it was possible to become gay for Zeus considering what I know about him from the myths, but DAMN 😳

I don't want Hera to get mad at me though, so I will simply admire from a distance.

You can look. But never touch~~

Squeek Squeek Sqeuuk!

besides gaming and watching jojos, do you have other hobbies?

Of course! I, Odiepusrex, have loads of hobbies and interests!

For example, I am a very creative person, and I love the arts

Here's me doing a landscape painting. It didn't turn out quite how I was hoping, but I'm still proud of it

I also love visiting famous historical landmarks around the world

Here's a pic of me (and weasel) visiting the world's largest cardboard cutout of a dog in Sorø, Denmark

And finally, I, Odiepusrex, love the sports!!

Here's me watching a game of sports

I have a lot of other hobbies too, so lmk if you want me to tell you some more!

since ur making a mutiny animatic can we see ur odysseus design?? :D

I didn't come up with a design before starting my super rough storyboards (too excited to start lol), so he slowly took shape as I drew him over and over in itty bitty thumbnail sketches, and I'm just going with one I incidentally drew that I ended up really liking :P

I haven't yet done a finished frame facing him straight on, but here's the little thumbnail one I liked and a few shots of him that I've done so far!

[quinxlt]

hey hey!!! guess what!! when telemachus says “athena” in we’ll be fine it’s the same tone and riff as odysseus’ “ATHENA” in love in paradise!!!!!! 💕💕💕
