Let me take the suffering from you...

[epicinthebrainsendhelp]

honestly, if 100+ (it was 108 right) men were being disgusting to me and attacking my son and eating all my food and drinking all my wine, the most romantic thing my husband could ever do is slaughtering them all. that’s love right there.

Love in Paradise ending with Odysseus calling for Athena instead of Penelope because his wife is 'all his power' but he doesn't have any power anymore. He just can't do this.

I always pictured Athena watching the events of The Odyssey as they happened to keep tabs on what her ex is doing but it's much funnier to know that she left him on read for 10 years and then came back to a text thread so insane that she immediately had to go fight her dad.

My piece for the Sing, O Muse! zine :D

I feel like the Epic the Musical fandom needs to be introduced to the concept of genre awareness. for example. eurylochus is aware that he's in a tragedy and odysseus has never been aware of anything ever

Circe design! Inspired by @/gigizetz design

Already drew this on paper myself but kinda wanna see it in your style— could you do a doodle of like Circe looking bored cause she just wanted to get laid but Odysseus won’t shut up about his amazing wife?

real footage of my there are other ways animatic

Penelope being the daughter of a water nymph makes me wonder if "get in the water" is something she used to tell Odysseus. Less playfully than the sirens would but still not wholly unfamiliar.

so i was listening to my goodbye and it reminded me of something

thunder saga am I right

[epicinthebrainsendhelp]

I wonder what Eurylochus's last thoughts about Odysseus were when he died.

Polites was so sweet "My friend, great the world with open arms", and the drowned crew wasn't but it made sense "Captain! Why did you let the Cyclops live when ruthlessness is mercy?!" but Eurylochus' death in particular feels so much more personal? He sounded so vulnerable when he said "...but we will die."

He clearly still had a lot of faith/care for Ody but he was somewhat betrayed twice before his end (the six torches and Odysseus' choice to kill the crew over himself) yet part of Eurylochus already seem to have known this would happen "You miss your wifе so bad, you trade the lives of your own crew" and Ody's choice proves he had been right and I can't I can't

my thoughts aren't thinking properly, the thunder saga ruined me

Hey… Gigi?

Eurylochus really hit him with the “But we’ll die 🥺” after everything he did. Love him for that.

[epicinthebrainsendhelp]

Me and my friend were talking about the Thunder Saga and we got on the topic of 'No Longer You', one of my favorites, and I was surprised because I was so sure "portrayals of betrayal and a brother's final stand" were both about Eurylochus but then both Odysseus and Eurylochus had their own final stands and more shocking to me, there were so many betrayals. Odysseus and Eurylochus both betrayed each other. Eurylochus opened the bag and mutinied against Odysseus, Odysseus had Eurylochus sacrifice six men and then made the choice for all of them to die. And then I realized what a subtle hint there was to this.

It's portrayals it's plural. There was always going to be more than one portrayal of betrayal
