What is your take on an eldritch gods au?
I always imagined the gods like Nyx, Tartarus, Gaya, Uranos etc as eldritch gods. Meanwhile their descendants are becoming more and more human-like.
When it comes to other gods as eldritch I rarely thought about it until I found this artist on Instagram. I love their ideas when it comes to eldritch gods. https://www.instagram.com/the.angel.incarnate?igsh=MWpwYmJjY2dobzVlNw==
I have some ideas for how the relationship between Ody and Athena would change and for some interactions between gods and mortals but most of it is not polished.
All I can say for now is that Athena would obsessively insert herself into Ody's life. At first it would be thought that she does it out of parental love but then it becomes clear that it's something more and it's not good. She envies any connection that Odysseus has to others and she demands to have it too. It would come from the fact that it's the first time she takes interest in a human since his young age. Kids don't understand how they are supposed to worship gods so kid Ody would treat her with warmth which confuses the goddess but then she becomes obsessed with it.
Will you ever make a full fic of your deity!ody au?
Also I love your work! Thanks to you I am now obsessed with hector/odysseus!!
I might once I have a bigger idea for the entire story, because for now I just have an idea for a few smaller stories.
Thank you so much 😊 I'm happy you like my crack ship. In around a week or two a new chapter will be posted.
Probably the main reason why he stopped for some time was because he wanted his baby to be close to him and it wasn't the best way to seduce people hahaha
Hermes: Hi beautiful, looking for some fun?
Baby Ody: Dad? Are you "Zeusing" again?
Hermes:...How about we go for some nice (Pg12) Ice cream instead?
Does Hermes change after the entire Ody situation or does he still sleep regularly with mortals?
He stops for like a few years but then 100% starts up again
What if god Odysseus was the son of Poseidon? How much would that would change in Ody's life?
A LOT would change. Poseidon would be a helicopter parent to his son. Ody as a god of safety would focus on assisting sailors and shipwrecked people, but Poseidon would punish any man who tries to take advantage of his innocent son.
Ody would live on a hard to reach island and any nymph/god/siren/etc that would potentially inhabit it would have to be approved by Poseidon.
The reason why is because Ody is due to living near the sea he always helped people lost there but sadly some sailors out of desperation would want to do unspeakable to the beautiful young looking man with wings.
Odysseus would have wings similar to a seagull or albatross. He is also more sheltered so he relies on stories shared by people to know more about the world.
It is almost like a currency to him. You can ask him a favour and he will accept if you in exchange tell his an interesting story that he didn't hear before.
Odysseus would meet Penelope when she was sailing with her family and she accidentally fell overboard during a storm. He helped her and took her to his island because she had no idea how to explain the Ody location of Sparta. So they would spend a few days together and at night Ody was flying and trying to locate her home.
Once he did it he took her to safety. They fell in love and Ody promised to visit her but also he warned her to not try to seek him or Poseidon might punish her.
He was visiting her once a week but her cousins started to suggest that he just has another lover on his island. She didn't believe them but once her father wanted to marry her off she decided to risk everything and swim to Odysseus.
Poseidon was about to strike her with his trident but Ody shielded her with his wings. Penelope seeing it started to worry and tried to help Ody despite being in danger. Poseidon was impressed and allowed her to be with his son but she wasn't allowed to invite her family over. (There would be an additional "myth" about that). She became a goddess once she reached her twenties so she would be in a similar "age" as Odysseus.
There would be a story where Jason and Argonauts accidentally landed on Ody's island where the young god helped them and told them that they can take any food but they can't steal any treasures or stay for longer than two nights. They at first agreed but one of them got fascinated by pearl jewelry and stole a necklace. Also Jason forgot that they were there already for a day when Ody explained the rules and because of it they stayed for a day too long. Because of it they stumbled upon angry Poseidon who assumed that they wanted to hurt his son. They promised that they didn't touch him but Poseidon told them that he will only believe them if the thief who stole the necklace reveals himself and experiences a proper punishment. At first they wanted to blame Heracles since he would most likely survive it but then even started claiming to be the thief. Impressed Poseidon allowed them to go but as a punishment he moved their boat so their journey would take longer than needed.
What do you think Diomedes bonding attempts with Telemachus were like?(If it was either before he gained immortality or after he gained immortality). What do you think Telemachus would be like as a Titan?
Diomedes went through an awkward stage of trying to understand how babies work and then trying to understand how godly babies work hahaha
I imagine Dio taking Telemachus on trips to cities and showing him things that his parents might not understand too well. He is like a big brother when it comes to answering questions.
Once Telemachus was old enough he would absolutely teach him how to spar and use weapons. Also Diomedes is the one who accidentally becomes a bad influence to baby Telemachus (since Diomedes is a little hot headed and didn't learn tact)
Telemachus would not be a titan but a god (even if he would be a child of titan Odysseus). He would be curious of people and the world like his parents. He enjoys pretending to be a human just to join other travellers on their way.
He would be the type of person who would randomly make a backpack journey around the country only to tell you about it once he's back. Also if he sees something he finds cool he WILL drag one of his three parents to show it.
He is also a prankster like his father, but while his dad would mess with people by scaring them a little or making them trip, Telemachus would instead come up with random gossips, make your tent fall a few times before you can build it correctly or he would add something to your food/drink that would make your tongue blue. (It represents innocent accidents that might happen on camping trips)
She's still getting used to being an aunt

A new chapter of "Sing, O Muse, of Agony" is out. Let's enjoy different flavours of fluff and angst. 🫣
I agree that Athena would fight Apollo. The only problem was when the heats started because now Ody didn't yearn for any alpha but for one specific.
Because of it for a year during heats Apollo was allowed to join Odysseus for those few days to ease the situation.
Apollo of course went over the top. He would bring the best foods, play music and take Ody to some beautiful private spots (anything to make Ody fall for him).
Ody was asked to join the courting of Helen so he would find another Alpha for himself so he would not be dependent on the sun god.
Also because of all the times Apollo tried to slip in nectar and ambrosia, now Ody has a huge distrust of anyone who wants to feed him.
Once he marries Penelope she helps him regain some trust and helps him feel comfortable again with telling what he wants (since he used to be too scared to tell Apollo "no")
How about Omega Odysseus who was secretly courted by Apollo (not eldritch one). When he was a teen (before Penelope) he used to train archery in the favourite spot in the forest. There one day Ody witnessed a beautiful hunter similar age as him who would ask to join in and even help Odysseus improve his techniques.
Athena sensed that something was wrong and she flew to her champion but it was too late. She witnessed a magically created field of flowers whose smell made the young omega overwhelmed and in the middle of it was Apollo who took the form of the alpha so she could bite the omega he fancied.
A year later during the courting of Helen, Odysseus kept his neck hidden. He didn't do it to be more presentable to Helen or Penelope but because he still felt uncomfortable when trying to explain how he got it.
Interesting 👀 go on
My take on this is that Athena is gonna fist fight her brother
And that Apollo 100% going to try to make Odysseus immortal after claiming him
Titan Penelope? Ever thought about idea?
Not really. I'm more fascinated by the idea of titan falling in love with a human who would later become a god so they could be immortal together.
At least for me Penelope feels more special with her origin as a Spartan princess who fell in love with a titan.
How did Titan Odysseus meet any of his friends?
He met his more "ancient" friends by the fact that many titans wanted to meet one another. They were always fascinated when a new one would be born since it would usually bring some interesting changes to their routines. (Especially when their existence alone was usually more than enough to affect their surroundings)
Gods usually introduce themselves to titans they encounter out of respect. Because Ody doesn't really care about the hierarchy he doesn't mind just inviting anyone interested for some wine and gossip.
With people he usually pretends to be one when walking among them. He isn't the biggest fan of people acting as his followers. That way he can see their true selves and so he becomes friends with them more naturally.
He met Diomedes by pretending to be one of the soldiers while the army was travelling. He was curious and he enjoyed how soldiers would sing songs and dance when taking breaks.
What if Penelope was Scylla? How would that go?
In normal epic?
Still Ody loves her the same.
I imagine Ithaca being an island that is way further from the mainland. There Penelope would have a special palace built for her and her family built by Ody. She probably attacks anyone who would be seen as a threat to her or her family.
Also everyone would be shocked, scared and impressed with the fact that Ody married and had a child with a gigantic monster.
There would be a joke where Ody describes Penelope in the sweetest ways and because of it nobody is ever ready to face her true form.
There is a really good fic with a similar promise on ao3 called "Appetite". I really recommend it to you.
