His Name Is Scrumbly :3

There’s something to be said, that even after twenty years, Penelope looks out the window, sees a storm, and says, ah yes, that must be my darling husband, pissing off the gods.

Yep

Lore accurate

this is how it went right

"Odysseus" showed us how much Ody has truly changed.

He's compared to almost all monsters in the musical during that one song.

His name's chanting is the same as Polyphemus', and he acts a little like him when he decides to kill everyone.

Po - ly - phe - mus ("Enough")

O - dy - sse - us ("I. Have had. Enough")

He aims for the torches just like Scylla.

"Eurylochus, light up six torches"

"Keep your head down he's aiming for the torches"

He rejected forgivness just like Poseidon did.

"Maybe you could learn to forgive..."

"No"

"Old king our leader's dead. You've destroyed the serpent's head. Now the rest of us are no longer a threat. Old king forgive us instead, so that no more blood is shed. Let's have open arms instead!"

"No."

Also, there's an electric guitar in the song. It represents Odysseus' cunning and ruthless nature.

He IS a monster. But that's what got him home. And he'll embrace this side of him.

Antinous: None of us can string the bow, its clearly a Rigged Challenge! Make a different Challenge! Penelope: Skill issue. Antinous: I am serious, a different challenge now. Penelope: Fine, battle to the death. The last Suitor alive is the only one worthy of being by my side. Antinous: What kind of psychopath would agree to that? Odysseus: (Stabbing him in the back) Bet

HEADCANNONS THAT MAY HURT

Tw for blood, explicit mention of some things and graphic scenes described, as well suicide mentions

-----

During the attack of Narinder to all of his silibings, he did serious injures, but, two three things,

1. I'm implying that their crowns were too tired to do the job they do in the original game (Leshy uses it as eye, Heket uses it as voice, Kallamar uses it as ears, Shamura uses it as part of their brain)

2. I'm also implying that the crowns couldn't do that job that day,

3. This is based to match on my AU's story plot, being slightly different to make it, angstier and darker

So, steel yourself.

What hurts the most is that;

- Leshy was basically a "godling", recently becoming a Bishop, and probably the most hurtful is that he never got to see if his silibings were more hurt than him, that until he saw it across the Crown, but for the days the crown rested, he was basically stumbling and tripping, with no one to help other than his 4 disciples (the witness & bosses of Darkwood)

- Heket's a frog / toad essentially, so she has gills, she can breathe with only sinking in a little water, but she was basically drowning in her blood, now being able to scream or plead for help, all being heard was a bubbling sound and gags and gaspy breaths (to rub salt only, she knew sign language, but no one else knew it, so she was basically doing senseless signs to them)

- Kallamar never heard the rest's screams, sobs and pleads, only seeing them talk, but nothing else, his heart pounding on his bleeding ears, everything quiet, but his body was loud. He most likely covered himself, trying to evade the horrid sight. Not even bothering on trying to reach to his silibings

- Shamura was the one who knew recipes and medicines, but with part of their brain gone with their skull, they couldn't remember them, leaving more pain and not meeting the expectatives of their poor younger silibings, mostly of Leshy, who baselessly clamed that they were being selfish for not helping anyone.

- Narinder was also hurt, realizing too late he'd done a mistake, seeing the blood filling his hands as he stared around, no one daring to look into his eyes. How coukd a young child do such atrocity? He fell deep into a hole, trying to unalive himself at the moment, but the crown, tired too, didn't let him. After that day, tension rised, but no one mentioned it openly until trapping him.

- While being trapped, the cat pleaded, screamed, sobbed and unconsciously swinged his claws to the air, trying to grasp at something.

"I know I was bad! Please! Don't leave me alone! I am your silibing! Sorry! Forgive me— Shamura, will you say something?!"

- Shamura didn't.

- While the punishment continued, Shamura felt more and more guilt despite them being the mastermind, so, they brought Aym and Baal to Narinder and spoke to them in the Purgatory, that until Narinder snapped at them, and tried to jump to attack them.

- Narinder tried several times to unalive himself with constant pleadings to the Red Crown, it didn't heard. After some time, Narinder's mind snaps and shatters into the twisted, "stronger" self: The One Who Waits, this name being taken from a phrase told to Narinder while Shamura left

"You'll always be waiting. Waiting a forgiveness no one will give you. Waiting for someone to hear you like I tried to do. Once you become the one who waits to a miracle to save you it's not fun, hm?"

- In fact, Aym and Baal pretended they didn't, but they heard Narinder sometimes sob and plead to what's somewhat of a hallucination of Shamura that he meant no harm, he was just too scared

Yeah

i literally love when people realize positive reinforcement works like yes its so silly isnt it. but it literally works humans love juice reward too
