Me every time I watch a Not Sorry For Loving you animatic and they show baby Calypso being abandoned:
How long do you think it took Odysseus to cave and tell Calypso his name?

The one (1) thing that Odysseus and Calypso have in common:
Neither of them know how to apologise properly
Calypso is honestly the ultimate pick me. I can practically see her singing ‘you belong with me’ to poor Odysseus.
Ody fashions himself a hut opposite hers so they don’t have to share a bed, and every time he looks up she’s at the window with a sign.
“You ok?” You trapped me on an island what do you think the answer is Calypso??
Odysseus: Everything you say and do reminds me of the home you are not letting me return to. I want to die.
Calypso:
Calypso I hate you but I love you but I hate you but I love you but I hate you but i love you but I hate you but I love you but I hate you
Calypso I hate you but I love you but I hate you but I love you but I hate you but i love you but I hate you but I love you but I hate you
Help I’m obsessed ❤️
A detail I really like in Not Sorry For Loving you is that Calypso never actually apologizes for her behavior. She admits what she did was wrong, but the only time she actually says she's sorry is when she says "I'm sorry my love's too much for you" which is similar to what a lot of manipulators say. "I'm sorry you feel that way". Instead of actually apologizing she basically puts the blame on Odysseus.
I’m Not Sorry For Loving You (wip!)
"Your tunes do not bring me joy, Calypso"
EPIC Thoughts with Sunny Pt.2:
Athena most likely feels guilty for the fact that, if she would've forced Odysseus to kill the cyclops, the rest of the men wouldn't have died. While also having the idea that she could've prevented everything that had gotten men killed, but she just didn't.
After Odysseus left, I would like to think Circe had a real burial for Elpenor, if I'm correct, he died, right? Only to be as a second will of good faith, and also a way to show she wasn't an actual full monster.
Despite only interfering whenever Odysseus was at his lowest, Hermes most likely still kept the closest of eyes on him, and his family. Even if he couldn't always do something to help, like when Odysseus was on Calypso's Island, he always made sure they were okay. I also imagine, when Ody got home, Hermes would visit the Underworld to talk to Polites, Eurylochus, his mother, the crew, and any other lost soldiers from the Trojan War, just to visit Odysseus and tell him and his family all about the happenings below. Always offering to take one of them to the Underworld so they could talk to anyone they wanted.
