not enough people making modern au telemachus emo. that kid is deep in the fall out boy lore. bangs across the face blasting music in his room so he cant hear his mom when she tells him to turn it down.
thinking about penelope and melantho so hard i wrote 1500 words in 45 minutes here
anyways, was melantho the daughter penelope always wanted? did the betrayal hurt more than the trick being revealed? of course it did. was penelope more angry or heartbroken? did she yell and curse melantho or did she was stare at her with the most disappointed face because she should have known what was happening in her own home?
Do you guys think that Penelope grew to despise weaving despite her mastery of the craft, and when odysseus has returned and the suitors are dead and there’s no need to keep up the shroud trick she finds herself just. Listless and bored and fidgety and anxious but every time she looks at the loom she feels like throwing up and she feels so much shame over it like she’s losing a part of herself but she just can’t bring herself to sit back down to weave
this is so angsty and good and ugh yes I love thinking about penelope's trauma and also this how I felt early when I was working on a weaving project and had to undo two lines bc I fucked it up
invented a western au with @asha-dasha bc i got too frustrated drawing antinous
PENELOPEEEEEEEEE
she's a badass trust, I just got lazy
hey you should delete "Fighting From Afar" because it is 3 for 3 on making me cry with every new chapter and I don't like that /j
i read the first sentence without seeing the rest and my heart dropped 😭😭
i'm so sorry 😭 but also really grateful for you enjoying my fic 😭🩷, i love writing angst and odysseus is the perfect man to put through the wringer. THOUGH! I do have a happier Odysseus-Penelope-Telemachus centric fic coming up after I'm done with this one!!
(I am still unsure on whether it will be a oneshot or a fic, though knowing my writing habits it'll likely end up being a 3 chapter fic)
Me, recommending "Fighting From Afar" with tears rolling down my face: ahaha yeah it's a fanfic its so good and so well-written and gets into a lot of nuanced things like autonomy of children, the complications of prophecy, and how it feels to live up to legacy, no why would I be crying????
No, no, no, you don’t get it. Like. Telemachus, you know??! ❗️T E L E M A C H U S❗️ He is. Just. JUST. Everything he is, is what I want to be. It’s so cringe guys but like. Like just. Just. How do I put it into words I cannot do it. I can write a 150k fic loaded with metaphors but I cannot describe to anyone why I ✨love✨ Telemachus as a character so much. Like. How. What. Telemachus is just me. But not. But he *is* and I just just justjustjust JUST. Telemachus my beloved, my boy, my everything, me.
hes my BABY, he deserves the WORLD, i want to TORTURE him with angst WHO WROTE THAT LAST PART
