Kind Of A Funny Idea God Odysseus Decides To Save Helen But Shape Shifts To Disguise Himself As Her So

What is your favorite Creepypasta?

What's your take on how Ody would teach the campers at Camp half blood?

My favourite creepypasta is probably Candle Cove. I also really like the series of "Abandoned by Disney"

I think Ody would be the type of teacher who guides students to the solution but he won't straight up explain it (especially in things revolving tactics). He is more precise when it comes to physical training.

A new chapter of "Sing, O Muse, of Agony" is out. Let's enjoy different flavours of fluff and angst. 🫣

Titan or god Odysseus. What's your take on dioodypen? Like how would it go?

With Penelope it would probably be the same as I described before.

Dio would stumble upon them by accident. He would travel only to hear the soft sound of music.

At first he was just visiting them regularly but then he admitted that he started falling for them

They would start dating and Dio would most likely accept ambrosia.

Also when he tried to tell others nobody believed him that he dates a titan and goddess

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.

Let's hope he at least pays child support now hahaha

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

How do any of Telemachus' parents handle the affections that other deities or mythical creatures might give to their son? I mean, considering Titan Ody's experiences with affection (that one goddes that cursed him) before he met Penelope and Diomedes .I'd imagine he'd be a little weary. How does Telemachus handle it himself?

What are their favorite foods? (godly food or otherwise)

Telemachus is rather blunt and unlike his father he doesn't mind openly rejecting someone. Ody also might create shelters for his baby and Diomedes and Penelope don't mind beating up annoying gods.

Hi...I'm that person who wrote you the long comment about Ody dying instead of Achilles...

I love this idea of yours!!!

Oh god the tragedy!!! Priam probably saw his son as someone good who did everything that was needed for his people and now when he wants to retrieve his son's body he is forced to face the "monster" who killed his son only to discover it's a grieving child.

And referencing in your story how Agamemnon seemed to question Ody being Achilles' father...What if Achilles during the war tried to avoid being called all the baby names by his dad because he wanted to be taken seriously by all the older kings and generals?

Achilles would on purpose keep his tent further from his father's, go to other camps and where he would spend time with Patroclus, go hunting with literally anyone but his dad and suddenly....his dad is gone.

He guards his father's body preventing it from being buried (Athena would keep Ody's body intact like gods did with Hector's). He does this because he can't accept his dad being gone. He placed Ody's body in the tent of the Ithacan king as if he was sleeping and still had a chance to wake up.

And then Priam shows up. The Trojan king wanted to believe that Achilles was a monster but he sees a scared child who wishes to be hugged by his dad.

They make an agreement in the end.

And finally when people are able to convince Achilles to let Odysseus go, to have a proper burial so he can find happiness in Elysium he goes to his father's tent and starts looking through his thighs and he breaks down.

There were carved wooden toys. Almost the same ones he had in his childhood. Odysseus was probably making them in free time for Telemachus hoping to give them to him some day. Achilles chuckled with teary eyes remembering when as a kid he begged his parents that if he's going to have little siblings, nobody is going to take his toys.

He looked further and in between wooden toys were carved combs, tools and figures of warriors...Odysseus was making gifts for BOTH of his sons. Achilles had to stop himself from crying.

To distract himself he looked at papers and maps on the desk. There he witnessed plans to invade Troy. An idea of a trap with hidden soldiers inside, then he gazed at the wooden toys...he had a plan how to end this war.

When Helen was with them, Achilles refused to see her. He knew he wouldn't blame her for his father's death, and seeing (/hearing) the way she cried hearing about Odysseus' passing, he knew she already blamed herself more than enough.

But what hurt Achilles the most was realising how YOUNG his father was. He was a teen dad. They had around ten year gap in age. Achilles was in his twenties, people around him would call him a kid and yet now he's a similar age his father went to war. This man had an entire future before him and it was taken in one fight.

Now he truly understands why his father always hated war.

Because in war there are no winners...just survivors.

What if Odysseus died instead of Achilles. Wouldn't that be fucked up

Like Patroclus dies, and then he kills Hector, and then his dad dies. He now has three corpses in his tent. And Priam comes to beg for Hector's corpse and tells him to think of his father. But his father is right there. He's dead. Your son killed my father.

How far do you think one can go down the rabbit hole of what ifs? Are there any two outlandish to consider in the world of Epic the musical?

It all depends on imagination and some boundaries. For example if the "what if" has literally NOTHING to do with characters and story you are basically writing something completely different.

Some of my favourite fics are a simple "what if" that is followed by a long chain of consequences. They are a lot of fun and it's nice to see authors considering a domino effect this big. (My Illiad fanfic started as a simple question that snowballed into something bigger)

For the same reason I'm not the biggest fan of stories that are just a copy and paste of the lyrics of Epic songs.

Am I the only one who wants a prequel saga more than a cut song saga? Like it would have a couple cut songs but it's mostly about how Penelope and Odysseus' relationship developed. A great ending could be a song about their wedding.

Is this just an excuse to get "I Need Her To Be Mine" to be canon. Yes. Is it also an excuse to get adorable young Odypen. Also yes.

Idk, does anyone agree?

I have this interesting idea Siren Odysseus mixed with Warrior Au Penelope. The catch— Penelope is an Amazonian. How do you think that would work?

I don't think that would change too much for Penelope. Amazons are daughters of Ares and trained warriors.

Siren Ody on the other hand sounds interesting. I'm not sure if you mean Siren Ody as a siren encountered in the song "suffering" or Penelope who married a siren.

If you mean the song then nothing really would change. They still need information so Penelope would have to play along to lure sirens in.

If Penelope married a siren that could create an interesting conflict where Penelope respects direct honourable battle while Ody in his nature has avoiding it and using trickery instead.

It could also create a conflict where people expect Penelope to help them hunt down sirens but she can't force herself to do it.
