[mossdoesartshit]

HELLO EVERYNYAN HOW ARE YOU FINE THANK YOU

long post ahead

context i watched this delightful video by lela studios https://www.youtube.com/shorts/th7_28E8k98

and before even being able to finish the video i had typed up an essay long comment "ABSOLUTELY EURYLOCHIS GETS TOO MUCH HATE!!! i have been meaning to write a thing elsewhere about eury's character, but in essence, he is a deeply flawed man who so desperately wants to trust and listen to his captain, he wants to get home too (iirc in the odyssey or. somewhere else that epic is based off of he has a wife! he has a wife that he wants to return to just as badly as odysseus!) and like. in luck runs out odysseus asks "hey, dont question me, i promise we can get home" and eurylochus is like "aight" IMMEDIATELY after his betrayal of odysseus (opening the wind bag), in puppeteer HE TRIES TO TELL HIM. HE TRIES TO SAY "hey odysseus i did. a horrible thing and i cannot keep it secret" and he trusts odysseus when he says "whatever you need to say can wait some more" when theyre at scylla's he tells odysseus because the guilt has been eating him alive (the fandom is like "Lol bro gets mad about 6 crew members dying when he caused the death of the majority)(FANDOM. HE FELT GUILTY AS HELL!!! HE WATCHED ODYSSEUS SACRIFICE 6 MEN AND seemingly NOT FEEL BAD ABOUT IT!!) (also also, from the musicals standpoint, eurylochus is the voice of the crew, he and polites are the ONLY ones who get characterization when others were planned to get that as well)(eurylochus is vocalizing thoughts and fears and wants from ALL of the crew, the want is not exclusively his own) (thats why in mutiny while he starts the fight, the rest of the crew vocalize how distrustful they are too, they ALL saw how odysseus felt no guilt or remorse about what he did which would put anyone at unease!!!)

coughs anyway yes i think eurylochus is overhated by the fandom, and i feel the reason for this is people wanting to scapegoat him into something or someone worse than he is, when every character is flawed, confusing, and desperate to get home after 10 years of war. i would love to see your interpretation of polyphemus, you could get some really delightfully freaky designs if you go a little outside the norms of typical cyclops designs" that. is the tl;dr version. and that is very long.

buckle up folks because i am about to yap about why i think eurylochus is overhated by the fandom, and while shit he doesnt do isnt the correct choices, they make sense and we should also remember that no one is safe in this musical from having complexities so fucking help me god i went through this with the hamilton fandom and this time i can actually yap JINGFDIJON

we have like a couple of songs that really push forth eury's story Luck runs out, Puppeteer, Scylla, Mutiny and to a degree Thunder Bringer in luck runs out, weve just been past a war, crew nearly starving, and quite a few people dying to polyphemus, plus odysseus fucking doxxing himself (this is a surprise tool that will help us later even if that part is more guessing) the entire song is eury probably vocalizing the entire crews "hey???? hello??? what the fuck???"

because eurylochus is the only one out of the crew we can distinctly point out (polites being the other one but. stares) but then toward the end when its just the two of them after the "thank you for the concern but brother i can assure you our journey is almost done", odysseus, like i mentioned in comment, is like "hey, trust me, dont question what i tell you to do" and eurylochus puts his trust into odysseus

then we hit with "keep your friends close" and "ruthlessness" video mentions it, odysseus DOES NOT FUCKING TRUST THE CREW which is entirely the winions fault (but also of the crew for trusting some random sky creatures)(which like. again. stares at the horrors theyve experienced up till then alone)(you want some fucking whimsy and treasure in your life)

eurylochus ends up being the one to open the wind bag, curiosity got the best of him, and then hes IMMEDIATELY hit with the worst consequences of the fucking CENTURY he fucked around and found out and BOY DID HE FIND OUT like he is quiet for the entirety of ruthlessness, but like those "captain" callouts from those drowning were hitting him too because shit man! he caused all that!

then in puppeteer, we immediately open on eurylochus trying, HE IS IMMEDIATELY AFTER HE HAS CAUSED SOME SHIT TO HAPPEN TRYING TO TELL ODYSSEUS "HEY MAN. I FUCKED UP BIG TIME. I FEEL LIKE SHIT ABOUT IT" and odysseus is like "lol man it can so wait. it can so wait. it can so wait" and eurylochus, feeling the guilt and still placing his trust in odysseus (this is where surprise tool and the guessing comes in)(given poseidon mentions TO ody "hey lol. you fucking doxxing yourself is ultimately what caused me to show the fuck up. fuck ya life, bing bong")(i would not be surprised if eurylochus' trust is shaken from that first) and then like. after the circe encounter, when hes like "lets cut our losses you and i and lets run" "of course id like to leave now, of course id like to run, but i can hardly sleep now, knowing everything weve done" and that whole lyric section i always read "i can hear her still, and her voice deceives. what if she cant be killed?" as trying to formulate a plan WITH odysseus not trying to make him go against the idea of saving the crew like "ok so. shes super powerful. what the fuck" and odys like "well lets fucking pray" and then the circe saga happens, and like yay! happy days!!!!!! a bit of trust comes back in

ACTUALLY SURPRISE CAMEO FROM DIFFERENT BEAST (and underworld saga) given i dont think any of the crew were privy to what tiresias told ody, and his breakdown after about "becoming the monster", to the crew, the cruelty comes out of NOWHERE like "ok sure, killing our enemies, yeah." " " "captain what do you mean cut their tails off and then throw them back into the water and let them drown"

because that IS crueler than just killing them, cutting their tails off and then throwing them into the water, its the order with which the thing is done that gets the crew to switch up from "WE are a different beast now" to "HE is a different beast now", because the hesitation comes back, the hesitation and the "hey. hey hold on" and the trust breaks again

and then in scylla, eurylochus finally tells the thing about the wind bag, (my partner has so fucking amazingly pointed out, scyllas singing fits both odysseus' and eurylochus' sides)("leaving them feeling betrayed" is what happens to both of them during that song)(eurylochus finally tells of his betrayal, and odysseus betrays eury's trust in him near completely)(theres a reason i say near completely)

and ok

so the fandom is like "lollll eurylochus???? eurylochus you caused the death of like closer to 500 men probably what right do u have to be mad about 6 deaths"

ITS BECAUSE ODYSSEUS FEELS NO REMORSE FOR IT the two have both caused death, indirectly at that point, but its the fact that odysseus CHOOSES to DIRECTLY cause death to the 6 men, and again, eurylochus is the voice of the crew, and to the rest of the crew, their captain sacrificing 6 of them and not at all feeling bad about it????? holy FUCK

so then the rest of mutiny plays out, (i will once again point to "eurylochus is the crews voice" with the lyric "how are we supposed to trust you now" because that shit mirrors exactly the stuff eurylochus is handling with the lyrics, its so hard to get lost in the sauce of it all but NO this is NOT AN IDEA HELD ONLY BY EURYLOCHUS-)

coughs anyway NGFDIJHN that "near broken trust" comes back into play because there is that little bit of trust still there eurylochus realizes he fucked up (which)(btw)(he was starving)(if you were starving and had the means to feed yourself not even GOD could stop you with any punishment from trying to feed yourself) and when odysseus goes into full captain mode, despite the fact he was betrayed, he makes a futile attempt at making sure his crew makes it out safely and we can only assume eurylochus is following orders then we reach thunder bringer eurylochus has realized he has doomed the crew and when he says "captain?" "i have to see her" "but we'll die" "i know,,," eurylochus has this. resignation and acceptance in his voice all rage has left all anger all sense of betrayal because he cant change that anymore like he fully accepts his fate and knows its because he fucked up

so like. teehee. sniles so sneetly JINGFDOIJN

eurylochus is a flawed character, but so is everyone else in the musical, and nuance should ALWAYS be considered when looking at them instead of "lol funni man bad funni man at the fault of everything in the musical (aside from ody doxxing himself that is a choice of foolishness the size of zeus' ego to not get caught by hera whenever he cheats)

i needed to yap otherwise the goblin inside my brain would have started eating it inside and out

[mossdoesartshit]

"man i should make a spooky month oc as a joke, itd be silly and a neat style exercise" blacks out and wakes up to the most recent fave oc who i cant stop thinking about "shit" meet ronin! i like him a lot... will try to post more abt him and just in general on here

huzzah i figured out how to do it on mobile

[mossdoesartshit]

reblogging this gem JIONFDGIJN

i saw the ref image and had to

[mossdoesartshit]

i was scrolling through @rory-multifandom-mess 's ask blog (@ask-mdxtadc-crossover) and saw lizzies ref and decided to be a menace about it

accidentally got kinda investedi n a ship idea as a result which is so funny JINGDFOIJN

anyway, congrats rory, no longer need to be curious or scared of what im cooking

oh yeah also the french says translates to

"I was supposed to love you but I saw the rain I blinked my eyes and you weren't the same" from the song "Est-ce que tu m'aimes? (pilule bleue)" by Maître Gims

[mossdoesartshit]

i have been scouring the cult of the lamb discord and i have been scouring the suggestions forums there and... well it has certainly been a time

so, opening discussion about ratau, the red fox, questline relating to that, and "consequences of actions" (spoilers ahead)(also i will get heated. this is not a hate post of any sorts, just me wanting to yap, you are free to disagree)(very long post ahead, there is a tl;dr at the end but it is not free of spoilers)

The red foxes questline works like any other npc, you give them stuff, and they give you pieces to get fleeces and such.

for his last one, he asks ratau, should you give the rat, you get a fleece piece, you get a follower form, and a little amount of lore by the lonely shack. if you do not, you get none of these, just a questline waiting indefinetly to be finished.

so why is this a big point of contention?

well, people wanting ratau to come back as a follower (a case i will not argue for nor against, i see value and merit in both answers) causes a stir, people discussing ratau dying in their game causes a stir.

"well its just the consequences of your actions"

so what actual consequences are there?

well. the knucklebones gang and ratoo wonder where ratau is, no clue to any of them about such ideas. you lose access to the easy mode of knucklebones (which, now that we have a knucklebones table at base barely matters since knucklebones difficulty scales with follower levels). you cant talk to ratau. you get a little awkward when ratoo mentions him and go "haha bye!", and possibly a sad feeling for when you do it.

but. but the game almost more rewards you than it punishes

the developers said that they wanted the player to make a "difficult decision" and this is why they wouldnt consider bringing him back, and people say that this is substantial consequence enough. but it does not change anything about how you play the game

"erm but the consequence is youre sad" for like a second. majority of players dont even find his notes, there are no LASTING consequences, just a small one.

like i want to apologize to all the ratau fans because every time i see anything about ratau, consequence people want others to be MISERABLE about him getting killed, and say that if you want to bring him back in a meaningful way of sorts (i saw an idea of having to fight the fox for ratau, ratau being angry at you and leaving and you get him as a follower after you apologize and get him out of all the bad status conditions and only then you get him) and STILL they get told "youre avoiding consequences"

i dont mean to be rude with this, but it will come across as such

THERE IS NO MEANINGFUL CONSEQUENCE TO RATAU'S DEATH RIGHT NOW.

ratau is little else than an obstacle in completion, or a character people project headcanons to, but there is NOTHING that changes your game in lasting and impactful ways, getting like 4 lines of dialogue, notes, and feeling sad that the lamb is crying is NOT a consequence, UNLESS you were emotionally attached to him, and you have VERY LITTLE REASON TO feel emotionally attached to ratau, he is just a tutorializer and gets barely any characterization, objectively more content for him would not hurt, he was the previous crown holder and didnt DIE for not doing things right by the one who waits? thats UNFATHOMABLY INTERESTING.

for shamuras sake, the RAINBOW WORM gets more consequences after you fight him, he is PERMANENTLY terrified of you, and even that is very little consequence, but its still more than ratau.

if we wanted to argue for consequences, its been suggested knucklebones gang would not let you into the lonely shack anymore, but my idea has always been to ratoo

ratoo, after some time would find out what happened to his brother, and when the lamb next enters his area "how dare you. you dare show your face to me after what you did to my brother, what you did to the little family i have, i should not let you use my kindness for those seeking refuge through these difficult lands for how you betrayed him

but

my brother would not have wanted you suffering either. and i cannot lie and say that seeing your face doesnt bring some sort of company to an old fool like me. so you are welcome here still. but do not mistake it for anything more than honouring my brother" and he no longer heals you to full health, only half of what you were missing

actual tangible long lasting consequence to what you did, it changes how gameplay works, you have actual pros and cons to weigh out should you look things up before playing the game.

tl;dr

ratau's characterization is pretty much entirely fanon. the consequences that are there are so minor a large part of the playerbase dont even consider them consequences, and as it stands hes treated as a much more important character compared to the screentime he does actually have. will not lie i did not hesitate in killing ratau off and that should not be the reaction to what the devs wanted to be a "difficult decision"

[mossdoesartshit]

saw possible leak stuff, honestly whatever ends up happening with new characters ill be drawing personal interpretations me and my partner have made for them

hh fandom is very in its infancy because the content IS so dripfed to us (for understandable reasons) but this does mean there will inevitably be overlap between what the show will give us and what fans will make, so im making this clarification so its on my blog

[mossdoesartshit]

grabbing this onto my todo list... this species seems so cute i love the incorporation into canon with them!!!

EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

After a while I was finally able to focus on finishing this guide xD

Underground Woker Drones, a subtype of Worker Drones!

I made this because there were a couple of people asking if they could make a drone similar to mine sooo x'D

Feel free to create you own Underground Worker Drone (UWD)!

For any question about them you can contact me!
