Hiya there *waves awkwardly*. So uh....one of my friends wants to go on a short terms missions trip and is wanting to raise some money for it. I aaked their permission and they were fine with me pasting their link to their GoFundMe page here.

Any donations or even just signal boosting/tagging people on this would be highly appreciated! And, if you want to donate and, I don't know, receive a perk of sorts, you can send money through this kofi with a doodle or writing prompt that I'll try to get to as soon as time lets me!

Thank you in advance from both of us!

PSA: SAID IS NOT DEAD. Said is not an overused word you need to cull out of your drafts. Said is not the devil. Said is a dialogue tag that your reader's eyes glaze over, barely noticed, allowing your dialogue to shine. Allowing your characters to speak without the narration overshadowing them. Said is doing a wonderful, thankless job! Said is not dead, you take that back—

I really love the fact that Odysseus doesn't hear a baby crying while in the Underworld in Epic despite fearing it. In a way, I'd like to think that Astyanax/Scamandrius isn't crying because he's being comforted by Hector.

@emarynn

no because imagine venturing to the literal realm of the dead to ask a dead prophet-oracle about a way to break the curse and go home and FINALLY after almost two decades see your loved ones which includes your mother.

and then in the underworld you find your mother's spirit roaming. Looking for you. Because she died and you had not yet returned but she still waited for you till her final moment and still waits now in death.

because you took too long.

The bad thing about being a random medias lover but also being someone who studied lit and/or classics for 8 years is that I LOVE Epic the Musical so much (unironically) but am Pained by the reinterpretation of Odysseus' character in an attempt to character drive his epic.

Like obviously, it's not going to follow the OG story and themes perfectly and Jay's been clear on that. But also, I keep seeing so much missed opportunities to throw in some Golden Age of Athens philosophies (though I know the epics obviously happened way before) into the story or Missed Themes of the original epic that I know aren't the POINT of the musical but....

Anyway, what I am saying is that calling Epic the Musical an adaptation of the Odyssey PAINS ME as a literature student but makes me VERY happy as just a literature enjoyer
