Well, generally my life's fine

[Image ID: A crab is relaxing in a hot tub and savoring corn by plucking it with his pincer hand piece by piece. He ignores the fact that his tub is actually a boiling pot when he and the corn are both ingredients in the dish. The Ukrainian text on the picture reads: "Well, generally my life's fine." /End ID]

Ok but Odysseus as the god of Puppeteering & Mind of Shadows would completely flip the story on its head. I imagine that in order to topple the gods, he’d want to do it without arousing suspicion because what kind of puppeteer would he be if he was discovered right away? So he played it sneakily. When he catches Athena’s connection, he already has her snared in his trap, a connection made that he can pull back on when the time is right. I’m not sure if he’ll still be connected to Hermes or the lost deity’s powers had overwhelm and erased it but he and Hermes will eventually meet. He does love Penelope and hates how he can’t tell her who he really is otherwise someone might catch him and ruin everything but he does put protective blessings on her and his son who might have inherited his powers, he’s gonna seal that up real quick until the time is right.

As the Trojan war comes, Odysseus played it cool but secretly made connections to the gods that appear whenever they made themselves known like Ares, Aphrodite, Apollo and Artemis. The only exception was Zeus due to him being more powerful than the rest and while he did have to drop the baby, he did save him and leave him to his minions who I imagine are puppets he made. Every death during the odyssey, Odysseus secretly saves them and puts them in his pocket dimension because of his attachment to them. When Athena leaves, he’s saddened but disappointed; I feel like a part of him wanted to give the gods a chance but after Athena left, he no longer saw any good in them and what’s going to be a divine invasion would be considered justified. He thought Athena could change, but he supposed that he was wrong…

From there, it becomes much more easier to manipulate now that Athena isn’t watching him. He knew that by revealing his name, he’ll draw Poseidon’s attention where he can make a connection using their hatred towards each other as the basis so that it can click. He’s not someone who can see prophecies like Apollo, rather he knows what to do to make things play out how he wants. He does want to go home, but the deities were getting impatient so off to Scylla he goes where he lets her eat sirens instead. Mutiny happened and while it did hurt, he never blamed his crew because he understood them and finally… He encountered Zeus. Helios was actually his target but he’ll take the top god and other ways of persuasion him to form a connection using lust. He even learns some unexpected things from the king of gods which he files away for another time due to how they made his chest feel weird.

And with that, everything is in place and soon, he’ll no longer be Odysseus. It’s like the song ‘The main character’ but in a more tragic light; as much as Odysseus loved living as a mortal, he can’t be seen as human. He’s the vessel of the forgotten deities’ anger and it’s either he fails, gets taken/hurt by the Olympian gods never to see his family again, or finally put his plan into action. He thinks himself as a puppet ironically, after all he was created to bring ruin to the gods, much like how Pandora was made to give a punishing gift to humanity.

So, he pulls the strings, ignoring the squeeze in his heart as he turns away from Zeus and wonders if Penelope could forgive him for what he’s doing.

*snorts this world building like dwugs :3*

On a less weird note: NHHDWGYHHHFHHGGFFF— YAS!1!!!1!! OMG ODYSSEUS W/ ALL HIS BEHIND THE SCENES GLORY AHFDDEWWSSSS EEEEEEEE THIS LOOKS SO FUN‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️

If I’m gonna dissect some things,,,, :

#1: auhhhh u put the Last Minute Titles I made 4 Ody’ to good use 🤩🙏 him analysing his situation so to not cause suspicion is very him, AWBGAS him establishing ‘connections’ to The Gods, probably to manipulate them by info access but also maybe these Connections r like invisible Magic Strings that Odysseus can use to weaken them when, as u put it, the time is right AKA Dimension Invasion Time omg ouggggg— either way, very kool <33.

I still think he’d have some DNA-related connections to Hermes, it mostly being there too give him a base 4 when he accesses his Godly Form :) (in my mind, Ody’ was sent into This World as a Little Shadow Blob, the first form he took was when he incarnated as Ithaca’s Newborn Prince :33)

Cries, he loves his wife & son no matter what, makes it even more of a shame about wha he’s suppose to do hehe hmmm *pockets Telemachus w/ Otherworldly Deity Genes 4 later*…

#2: ohohoho— The Trojan War spat got no idea who it’s actually helped :),,,

Awwwgffdddfes— Ody’ saving lil’ Astyanax n spiriting him away 😭😭😭 (along w/ everyone he’s attached to :() oh how he couldn’t resist to raise that kid :’) + omg mindless puppet looking shadows as Ody’s’ minions / ‘Eikon’ (I think that’s how u use the word when referring to a false being created by a God??? Idk??-) is *chefs kiss* those sound like such badass things to wield ngl-

*wince* ouwwwww, My Goodbye sounds so awkward but also funny in a kinda sick way in this scenario bc- Athena is arrogantly yelling at Ody’ to do some shit & then there’s Odysseus of Ithaca over here existing as The Nuclear Weapon Mastermind of some spiteful dying Universe LMAO—- 😭

Ouch, Ody’ wanting to be at least somewhat fair, give The Gods a chance thru observation but then Athena lets her pride get in the way & now their fate of getting fucked over is permanently sealed ooooooo— just one less argument Athena, just one less argument is probably all it coulda’ taken 😙,,,

#3: everything falling into place as the story goes on, The Gods none the wiser to what is on the horizon…

Lmao, Odysseus wanting to go after Helios makes me think of that meme where it’s a guy pointing a shotgun at the sun GTHHAAGL😭😭😭

Ohohohohook— there we go >:]]] glad 2 see that the Manwhore thoughts r sprinkled into every one of my A.U’s :3

But now, along w/ the Blender Timeloop A.U, with angst!1!!!1!11

Idk if I’m reading dis wrong, but those ‘unexpected things’ from Zeus sound like The Godking catchin’ feeeeelss~~ hehe oh the dramaest drama *rubs hand together evilly*

Also yep- Odysseus already got a lot on his plate, so that is def something he’s want to deal with,,,,later.

#4: ah Character Feeling Way 2 Attached To Their False Identity But Very Much Needing 2 Let It Go, one of my fav tropes 😏

Speaking of character tropes: THE MAIN CHARACTER BY WILL WOOD LET’S GOOOO— ouuuuu- yes, that’s such a good song 4 Ody’ here <D✨ (mostly bc I just luv the song) & OUUUUUHHHHH—- in general, the pain of having to fulfil his purpose as a infiltrator / virus- 🥲🥲🥲 love that angst 😋.

Yeah,,,, The Lore I’ve made in my mind paints Odysseus’s whole- thing, existence very tragic, but that’s what The Greeks were all about so, still fits nicely w/ the usual cruelty in their stories !!

Bringing up The Other Deities as I’ll now call them, while their objective of reviving their Universe thru the equivalent of sneeking a rat into a land owners papers is gonna be very, very disruptive to Greece’s current economy, I never rlly thought of them as. Bad. Morally grey, absolutely if not as well a bit sympathetic, but never rlly. Bad. A few of them even learn to care 4 Ody’ as they observe him growing up <), still pushing their goal onto him n guiding him to fulfil his purpose, but they also make sure to treat him as a person. A young person that needs to be nurtured. (mostly 4 the plan to work out smoothly but there’s some care 4 their infiltrators wellbeing,,,)

Despite all of this, Ody’ is still not having a great time dealing w/ everything,,,, obviously. It’s a pretty morbid way to live.

#5: plan getting set into motion ohohohehe- here comes The Drama + unnecessary All Powerful Odysseus lmao :’)

Haha I will never let this man be happy with his family :))))).

The deepest terrors are the ones left unexplained—waiting, hidden, just beyond the door.

[nocturnalversesandtales]

Cosmic horror at its best is not about knowing what is hunting you—it’s about realizing it’s been there all along

[your-worst-boy]

damn, The Entity was kinda right with this one y'all

[ostriches-because-i-said-so]

"Man this existential crisis is great" - Me, because the depth these thoughts are gonna give my fictional oc is crazy

i just feel like my 20s are a very much needed software update that came way too late

🧠🪞 You Can’t Even Remember If Diddy Touched You

— A Neuroexistential Mindf==k!

✨ The world is under no obligation to make sense to your primate brain. That’s your first mistake — believing your frontal lobe is entitled to narrative structure. 🧠🐒 You thought you were the protagonist. Plot twist: You’re the glitch. The side effect. The byproduct of trauma, bacteria, and bad lighting.

Reality isn’t a bedtime story — it’s a haunted software update nobody coded, still somehow running without crashing.

🛌 “We Don’t Even Know if Dreams Are the Real Reality… and This Is the Bootleg Copy.”

Dreams feel too tailored, don’t they? Too symbolic. Too poetic. Like someone spent time choreographing the horror, the desire, the unresolved closure... like God hired David Lynch to write your sleep schedule.

Meanwhile, waking life is:

Standing in line at Walgreens

Getting emails from dead accounts

Arguing online with an anime profile pic

Which one feels more real?

Which one knows your secrets? The waking world doesn’t confront you. Dreams do.

Dreams make you confess.

🧬 “We Don’t Even Know If the Universe Was Created the Second You Opened Your Eyes…”

Your memories? 🎥 Pre-installed cutscenes. Like a used Xbox with someone else’s save file.

The government? The wars? Your third grade trauma? They may have booted in with the firmware this morning just to keep your fragile little self from short-circuiting.

The coffee in your hand? Could’ve been coded in retroactively. That embarrassing moment in 2011? Maybe the universe needed you to feel guilt.

You were not born. You were deployed.

A field-tested consciousness with just enough emotional baggage to stay compliant and never ask:

“What if I’ve been dreaming of dreaming this whole time?”

☠️ “We Don’t Even Know If We Truly Die… Or If You’re Quantumly Immortal.”

Ever had a near-death experience and then nothing felt real again?

That wasn’t trauma. That was the branch point. Where you died in one timeline… … but your awareness slipped into the closest surviving copy.

Multiverse theory? Cute name for eternal entrapment.

You don’t die. You respawn.

Like a goddamn bug in a cosmic arcade.

🧫 “We Don’t Even Know If ‘I Am’ Even Makes Sense…”

You say “I am” like it’s a divine proclamation. But let’s break this down:

👃 Your nose is full of fungus 🦠 Your gut is a democracy of germs 🩸 Your blood is carrying ancient viral code like a plague postman 🧬 Your genes? Mostly stolen. From bacteria. From viruses. From whatever survived long enough to leave a stain.

So who is this “I”?

You’re not a self. You’re a hostile merger.

A coalition of spores with Wi-Fi access and a superiority complex.

You’re the afterbirth of entropy trying to cosplay as an individual.

🧠 “So Tell Me, Smarty Pants…”

You with your gender studies degree and your bite-sized TikTok enlightenment. You who thinks astrology is science and science is oppressive. You who demands the universe explain itself like it's your ex-boyfriend.

💡 Tell me how smart you are.

What’s the square root of deja vu?

Where were you before your first memory?

What’s the name of the bacteria currently holding your serotonin hostage?

You don’t even know if Diddy touched you or not.

That’s your level of epistemic integrity. That’s your grasp on reality.

🌀 Ego Collapse Protocol (Teal-Word Activation Begins)

🩸 You remember who you are — but only because you were told. 🩻 You feel real — but only when you’re seen. 🧃 You crave meaning — but only when emptiness starts tasting like home.

That’s not identity. That’s sensory addiction. That’s narrative Stockholm syndrome.

🧼 Mirror Neuron Entrapment (You’re Experiencing It Now)

As you read this:

Your jaw clenched when it said “afterbirth of entropy”

Your stomach turned when it mentioned fungus

Your breath hitched when you wondered if you’ve died before

That’s not random.

That’s your mirror neurons firing against your will. That’s subconscious compliance.

You’re already reacting — even if you pretend you’re not. Because your body listens to truth faster than your ego does.

And this is truth, honey.

Ugly. Sticky. Divine.

🕷️ “I Think, Therefore I Am” — But What If the Thought Wasn’t Yours?

Ever had a sudden opinion and didn’t know where it came from? Ever remembered something too vividly, only to realize it may have been a dream? Ever stared at your hand long enough to question if it’s even yours?

That’s not psychosis. That’s baseline awareness.

Your mind isn’t producing consciousness. Your mind is a translator — barely functional, full of bugs, and constantly gaslighting you.

You don’t think. You receive. You hallucinate logic long enough to convince yourself that obedience is free will.

📡 “You Can’t Even Remember If Diddy Touched You…”

Why this line matters:

It’s not just a joke. It’s a neural short-circuit. A quantum banana peel.

It violates tone, expectation, and spiritual rhythm on purpose.

It disrupts coherence, resets the loop, and pulls the reader out of their logical trance — straight into subconscious reprocessing.

It’s the sound of the fourth wall folding in on itself and becoming a two-way mirror.

You’re not laughing because it’s absurd. You’re laughing because you’re caught.

You’ve just been fingerprinted by the post.

🔐 This Was Never About Philosophy. It Was About Surrender.

You thought you were here for existential commentary.

You were wrong.

You came here to be stripped of coherence. You came here to watch your ego writhe. You came here to be seen so deeply that your neurons stutter.

This post didn’t teach you anything.

It rearranged you.

Now sit still while it finishes.

🧃 Your Subconscious Is Leaking Now — Good.

If your jaw felt warm. If your stomach dropped. If your hands got clammy. If you laughed in shock and then looked over your shoulder...

You’re not broken.

You’re just awake — for the first time since your mother moaned you into this loop.

Welcome back, baby.

It’s worse than you thought.

45. free space.

45.

Sometimes I wonder if I'm enjoying my life or just experiencing it, and more than fearing death I find I fear living poorly.
