Odysseus in Epic: the musical

[bayleavesfromthevine]

Not Odysseus escaping a vengeful, rampaging cyclops just to turn around and say “btw here’s my full name and address, remember it”  

[paloma-ascends-into-hellfire]

you know what’s really sad about “remember them”? by the time odysseus gets back to ithaca all six hundred men will be dead. they’ll have been gone for five years. there’s no way odysseus will remember them all. polites, eurylochus, sure, but not all of them. they will die in vain.

What it's like reading about the Odyssey in a nutshell:

"Hah! looks like some karma coming towards Odysseus for his actions, the guy had it coming"

"Okay, I think that's enough"

"Yeah hahah okay but seriously please stop"

"That's enough consequences-"

"I think he's got the point-"

"This is starting to become overkill-"

"For god's sake leave the poor man alone!"

"Now that was just unnecessary!"

"OKAY STOP-!"

"STO-!!"

[angelicadoesstuff]

uh oh

I don't know who to blame so I'm blaming the entire Epic fandom :3

[aficionadoenthusiast]

Outfits inspired by the songs from Epic: The Musical

Yes, first post upon my return is about a fandom no one knows nor asked for. But I've been filled with the songs from this musical as someone who 1) loves musicals and 2) LOVES Greek Mythology. Will be posting other art to my main fandom (be expecting, Stobotnik community) but needed to get this out of my system.

"Get in the Water" was the song that inspired this whole mess. It held so much emotion I just had to draw some things for it. For the order of the dresses, I had a vague idea in the beginning of what I wanted the outfits to look like. Then I actually listened to the song while drawing it and by the time I got to the third dress, I've had that song on loop the whole process.

I have always loved the cyclops part of the tale and the parts where he sings in the Musical send chills down my spine. I hate how "Survive" ended up, but the rest were pretty fun. I have been getting into fashion as I'm not very imaginative but want very crazy and unique clothing. So, might as well so some inspired by songs because they make me feel things.

Be posting soon since I can be back on here with no fear of being spoiled for OFMD season 2 (finally watched it and loved it). Go listen and support the musical! Lovely work, all of them.

[just-a-little-trans-chaos]

My Goodbye from the Epic musical is so good, I especially love Athena's lines (and the This Day part >~<)

[bayleavesfromthevine]

Polyphemus, wailing in pain: "Nobody hurt me!"

The other cyclops: "then shut the FUCK up. bitch."

I love this musical

[paloma-ascends-into-hellfire]

Moments in Epic that live in my head rent free (in order cuz i'm cool like that)

"Nestor, secureHelenandprotecther"

"Penelope... Penelope... and Telemachus... I fight for us, I fight for us"

"But when does a comet become a meteor? When does a candle become a blaze? When does a man become a MONSTER? "

"Forgive me"

"Six hundred men. Six hundred men under my command with only one goal in mind: make it back alive to our homeland"

"We're up, we're off, and away we go!"

"I see in your face, there is so much guilt inside your heart" [rip Polites]

The entirety of "Warrior of the Mind"

"You killed my sheep. My favourite sheep. What gives you this right to deal a pain so deep? Don't you know pain you sow is pain you reap?"

"My name is Nobody, Nobody, Nobody"

"Yes, you shall be the final man to die." "Wh-what? ...WATCH OUT!"

"Six hundred LIIIIVES at stake. It's just one LIIFE to take! And when we kill him then our jouurneyy's oooverrr. No dying OOOON us now. Defeat is NOOOT allowed!"

Like all of "Remember Them" but especially "They will not DII-EY-EYE IN VAIN! Remember them!"

"Who hurts you?" "It was Nobody, Nobody" "If nobody hurts you, be silent." "Don't go!"

"I am the reigning king of Ithaca. I am neither man nor mythical. I am your darkest moment. I am the infamous... ODYSSEUS!"

All of "My Goodbye"

"stOoOoOoOOOoooOoOoOrm!"

"at this rate we won't make it out aliive!"

"How much longer till our luck runs out?"

"you rely on wit, and people die on it, whoa-whoa."

"Hahaha! I am the wind, twisting and turning!"

"keep your friends close and your enemies closer (never really know who you can trust)"

"Everything's changed since Polites" [not the NAMEDROP]

"Just keep your eyes open..."

"Wake up! Wake up, Odysseus, they're open the bag, wake UUUUP!"

"I said to keep the bag closed, but you weren't compliant. If I had to guess, you're headed to the land of the giants!"

"OOOOODYSSEUS OF ITHACA! Do you know who I am?"

"but damn, you crossed a liIiIiIne."

"You are the worst kind of good cuz you're NOT EVEN GREAT! A greek who reeks of false righteousness, THAT'S WHAT I HATE!"

"Ruthlessness is mercy upon ourselves! OURSELVES!"

"Ruthlessness is mercy-" "Die."

"ALL I GOTTA DO IS OPEN THIS BAG" "what."
