I Read It And I Love It So Much! Poor Odysseus Though, The Fates Hate Him Apparently.

I read it and I love it so much! Poor Odysseus though, the Fates hate him apparently.

okay so in the tags of my reblogs i've been yapping about how percy's use of trickery and manipulation reminds me a lot of odysseus and how fitting it would be for percy and annabeth to essentially be modern-day odysseus and penelope

but ultimately i think it would be so funny if athena sees the resemblance. like even if percy isnt odysseus reincarnated, it'd be so funny if she saw echoes of the person who was basically her favorite pet in her rival's child. a rival's child who is dating her favorite daughter without her approval, mind you. imagine this with me: athena just. grumbling to herself because she wants to hate percy completely but she can't. because if he was anyone other than poseidon's son she would've been so happy to indulge herself in his lies and deception and happier to see him with annabeth. you know how, in the odyssey, athena convinces eos to let the dawn rise a little later so odysseus and penelope can enjoy the night of their reunion a little longer? that is how much she would've shipped percabeth. perhaps even a bit more.

and the only thing that would be funnier is if poseidon is absolutely oblivious to how much percy - his beloved son, his favorite son - resembles the man he tried his best to drown thousands of years ago. the hilarity of it all

so who's listening to Epic the Musical

the problem with being creative is that you start to feel very guilty when you haven’t created anything in a while

The epic the musical fans have decided that Athena doesn’t know what baby’s are. And that got me thinking if that’s the reason she doesn’t like Percy. Because she doesn’t think he’s got enough brains to have a kid??????

(Although Percy did confirm that Zeus didn’t either so maybe Athena is trying to prevent another Zeus)

Edit: I can’t spell

Prompt/Headcanon:

Merlin was conceived the same day as the first unjust death under Uther’s purge, the first murder born of one man’s guilt and hate.

The people cried out to Magic for help.

He was already on his way.

I am seriously craving a “Legolas is older than the Sun and Moon” fanfic, with not even Gandalf knowing precisely how old he is (it would be funny if Legolas, his parents and grandparents are so old they kind of lost track a long time ago)

just like, the fanfics that I’ve read that discuss Legolas’s age have him born in the third or second age. I think I’ve found one that had him born around the fall of Doriath (also maybe one or two where he turned out to be one of the missing uncles of Elrond, if I remember right?). But they are not very common, from what I can tell.
