Being in the epic fandom is insane cuz Mr. Jalapeño will be like "you wanna feel the piggly wiggly in your ears" And then blast you with twenty minutes of pure emotional damage

“What kinds of things did you do?”

Penelope so easily could have said ‘it doesn’t matter.’ She so easily could have said ‘I don’t care what you did,’ and the song could have progressed.

It’s so important to me that she didn’t say that. Penelope didn’t dismiss Odysseus’ actions, didn’t say they didn’t matter, because they did. His actions destroyed so many. They scarred and irrevocably altered him. Of course it’s important. Of course she cares.

Because Penelope’s love is not a blind love. She looks at her husband, she looks at his crimes, and she acknowledges that he has changed. She sees and knows him, as well as she can. And she falls in love with him again, as she has every moment, every minute, every year.

Over and over again.

Me realizing what 'Would You Fall In Love With Me Again' if you break it down.

“Would you still love me if I was a worm?” Boring, overused, basic

“Would you still love me if twenty years ago I went to war for ten years, and after it was over I spent 10 more years trying to get back to you. Along the way after killing a baby, loosing almost my entire crew and sacrificing the ones that were left, being tempted by two women to cheat on you, attacking a god in the beaches of our kingdom, only to find your suitors plotting to kill our son and assault you and I also kill them? Could you fall in love with me again?” New, creative, fun

hey what if odysseus knowing about the olive tree bed wasn't what brought about the "you're still my husband stfu"

maybe it was the anger. the hurt. the bafflement. the horror, all of it, in his voice, when he talked about ripping the tree from its roots - ripping their love from its roots.

the way he said those 4 lines, and instantly, Penelope knew.

'he loves me, just as he did 20 years ago. he might be different, but he loves me, and he will let me fall in love with him again, and he values it.

and just for that, I will. that's my odysseus.

he always has been.'

You know what broke me? Or who, rather?

Luke...the big bad, ever grand, ever confident, man with a booming voice born to play Zeus...

Seeing him cry was what completely shattered me and had me start crying as well

I love my queen Penelope she said "is it you or am I dreaming AGAIN?" there's no way she didn't hear the carnage happening just outside he door, so does that mean she... she had dreams of Ody returning home and straight up slaughtering everyone in his way???

God I love this woman. Our Spartan Queen. If she went to war instead of Odysseus the Troy would have fallen after a week

Jorge did an excellent job in showing Penelope's character and why Odysseus and Penelope are made for each other in two songs

Of course throughout the whole saga we are told Odysseus loves Penelope more than anything, she and Telemachus are his one life line and one motivation to getting home

But when we finally heard Penelope, in her two actual songs (by that I mean not counting Ody's hallucinations and the siren), we are shown why

In the challenge, she's smart, shown by her weaving and unweaving the shroud, and in setting a challenge that she knows only Odysseus can complete once she suspects he's close to home. She's steadfast in her love, never faltering in the face of 108 strong men taunting her, and pressuring her every single day. She's a queen, holding herself with dignity and authority. She's an amazing woman.

In Would You Fall In Love With Me Again, she once again demonstrates her intellect both logically and emotionally by testing Odysseus with the wedding bed. Then she breaks down in tears and anger letting go of all the pain and suffering and longing and yearning and agony she's gone through in the past 20 years. She was in so much pain and agony, but she kept waiting.

This is a story about a man who moved mountains and seas for his love and a woman who stood still in the midst of storms and terrors for hers.
