Odysseus Of Ithaca - Blog Posts
*a few months after The Ithaca Saga*
Odysseus: *wakes up at the dead of night drenched in cold sweat*
Penelope: Love? What's wrong?
Odysseus: That prophet son of a bitch- IT WAS ME!
Penelope: What??
Odysseus: I WAS THE MAN WHO WAS HAUNTING ALL ALONG!!
Penelope: *pulling him down and hugging him* ok dear just go back to sleep.
*meanwhile in the Underworld*
Tiresias: Fucking finally that dumbass
Wonderful ten out of ten wears it as good as I
I draw normal things I swear
Reasons why I, Ink E. Doodles (a modern age squiddo), am baaaasically Odysseus of Ithaca (EPIC specific lol)
•I miss my son and wife /silly (Oh yeah, lore update! I have 4 platonic wives and many adopted underclassmen)
•I miss my friends a lot!!!
•The one time I went on a trip overseas we got laid over and missed out on touring a river because there was too much rain. My luggage went missing for a while, too.
•Eiffel Tower panic attack
•Also got sick the night after and was going through the torment nexus
•Almost drowned at least once
•Tragic Losses^TM
•I think I'm clever?? A little???
•I am the monster (rawr rawr rawr)
•There's a Calypso figure in my life who wanted me to divorce my wives in order to become my wife, but I said no.
•Friend Breakup (not a mentor specifically, but still happened!)
•Either the worst or best luck imaginable
•My one friend said she'd be the Eurylochus to my Odysseus, so now I gotta watch out for a mutiny /lh. I've also fan-casted a large portion of people in my life as other EPIC characters because I am normal...
•I wanna go hoooooome! Mandatories were like the pantheon keeping me from doing so.
•Math class specifically makes me want to abandon mercy and slay problems like Odysseus slayed the suitors >:'/
So normal about how the ENTIRE MUSICAL they are saying that Odysseus will be a different person when he goes home. That he and the monster are separate. That he won't be him anymore. That he died and was replaced by the monster.
AND HOW IN ONE SONG PENELOPE TELLS ODYSSEUS THAT NONE OF THAT IS TRUE, AND WE BELIEVE HER. BECAUSE SHE'S RIGHT.
BECAUSE DESPITE EVERYTHING, IT'S STILL HIM. AND OF COURSE THE ONE WHO LOVES HIM THE MOST KNOWS THAT.

odydio art again hi tumblr ‼️

AND ITHACAS WAITINGGGGGG 🎶🎶🎶
I made a fucked up odysseus statue guys and please don’t call him ugly you’ll hurt his feelings 😭
Has this been done yet? It probably has
I will wait for you
screaming crying throwing up this is amazing
Think About It
Oceanids are the children of Oceanus.
All nereids are nymphs, but not all nymphs are nereids. The difference isn’t just, “water nymph”. Nereids are the children of Oceanids.
(Naiads are basically the same except fresh water. Naiads are the daughters of the Potamoi, who are children of Oceanus :D)
Penelope is a nereid. Amphitrite’s grandfather is Oceanus, so she’s also a nereid. Penelope and Amphitrite are cousins.
Do with that what you will.
Edit: Ask and you shall receive. Screenshots from my reference folder:
Cousins.
the king and the queen 🙏🙏 (im working on a character line up of the epic characters rn, also odysseus is very much not done yet, but penelope is!!)
yo if i ever make my own animatic, it's gonna be exactly the same. like, come on, isn't that what jay had in mind for this particular moment?
Yesterday it was God Games by gigi and today it's I Can’t Help But Wonder by Ximena I need to lie down I can't do this I'm absolutely sobbing
Also you want a certified method of making me cry on the spot? Just show me a pic of young Odysseus and baby Telemachus. Works 12 out of 10 times
The Olive Tree
I think it was really fitting for Odysseus and Penelope to have met at that specific type of tree for multiple reasons.
Olive trees are meant to symbolize longevity, rebirth, endurance, and peace as well as being a sacred symbol of Athena. All of those qualities fit with the pair. Longevity and endurance because of how their love never faded despite all the years apart. Odysseus comes back to Ithaca after all the tragedies had changed him, something that you could argue is a rebirth of sorts.
Peace was the hardest one to think of but I settled on it being symbolic of the peace that is now in the palace without the suitors. Apart, there had been over a hundred men threatening Penelope and Telemachus and disrespecting their hosts’ home. With Odysseus returning, there is no longer that danger that had been lurking and peace is restored to the halls. The Athena part is pretty self-explanatory.
