Calypso ReWrite

Calypso ReWrite

So a LOT of people don’t like Calypso which is… fair enough

Since I refuse to accept canon I decided to try and ‘fix her’ (I am not a writer) so tell me what you think!

(P.S. If you like Calypso (ESPECIALLY if you like Caleo) please scroll - This is just a thought experiment but I don’t want to insult anyone)

In the Odyssey, Odysseus is trapped on Ogygia with Calypso for 7 years. Calypso falls in love with Odysseus and rapes him during that time. This does not work for a children’s book, so Rick changed it so that Calypso is cursed to fall in love with every man that comes to her island, which is still weird because she’s now 16.

In my version, she’s an adult. When Odysseus shows up, she doesn’t fall in love with him, but grows an unhealthy attachment to him due to being stuck on her island for thousands of years. (though she does mistake this for love) She doesn’t assault him, but still keeps him trapped in Ogygia for the 7 years, before she is told to release him. She gives him a parting gift of Moonlace before she leaves.

When Percy shows up, she’s doing a bit better due to visits from Hermes. (They traded drugs) When she finds the strange child half-dead on her island, she cleans him up and stays with him until he wakes up, and heals him for some time.

She ends up trauma-dumping to telling Percy about her past. How she had been imprisoned on Ogygia for supporting her father, Atlas, in the Titanomachy, and could never leave. He asks her about Odysseus, and she tells him how she hurt him in many ways and could only beg for forgiveness. In the end, once Percy is fully healed, she sends him off with Moonlace.

When Leo shows up, all of the above happens again, but she opens up more. She tells him about how she had been the ‘weak link’ among her sisters (Pleiades) and when the rest became a constellation, she was imprisoned on Ogygia. They also had similar interests, with Calypso enjoying designing things similar to what Leo builds. (There are many small mechanical-magic animals on Ogygia) Leo, relating to their shared belief of being the weak link (neither of them actually were) vows to help her escape. She gives him Moonlace as a parting gift just like the others.

It is important to note that her interactions with Percy and Leo are PURELY PLATONIC. She’s traumatized and bonded with the first beings she saw who weren’t her dealer

After Leo frees her and they do some adventuring, she goes of on her own, and blesses Leo. (Maybe she joins the hunters, or works for Iris. Who knows.)

She never curses Annabeth since she doesn’t have a crush on Percy so all is well.

…I just made Zoe Nightshade in a different font. Gods dammit Rick.
