Spoilers for the upcoming cotl update!!!

So I've seen the idea that the ram is an alternate universe version of the lamb. I was thinking, because of the purple colouring, if I could/should use this character as the crown barrier for my crownswap au/archivist au.

Just idea musings, really excited for the update tho lolol

CAPTAIN!!!!

JORGE!!!!

God but the final breach of decorum right before everything goes to hell.

He’s Ody. Not Captain. Not the king. His is a friend and brother. Even after betrayal after betrayal on both sides. Even with the blood of hundreds on both of their hands. Both of them are pleading for the other to understand.

And in the end it doesn’t matter.

Jorge, when he said the sirens wouldn’t be in Epic:

I just remembered Eurylochus is married to Ctimene, Odysseus' sister

Now that I remember that, the line "You would've done the same" in Mutiny hits different

Heya!

Just wanted to pop into ur inbox and say that latest chapter of our fic "Who tends to the Shepherd that tends to the Flock?" Was AMAZING.

Like holy shit, the way you wrote Lambert and Narinders respective types of panic, the conflicting between Kallamar and Shamura, the FIGHTS?! also 10/10 Shamura bashing. Beautiful. And I loved how the high priest was badass with Lambert! Gosh, made me binge the fic all other again.

I hope you can update soon again cause my heart bleeds for poor Leshy :( baby didn't deserve that.

Anyways! Thank you for your hard work and beautiful writing!

Have a nice Timezone!

-✨

FHGDDGFS THANK YOU SO MUCH!

The next chapter may take some time, especially due to the holidays. Ideally it won't take several months tho, lol. I've also started a few short stories inspired by my main fic (similar to O' Great Furball) so keep an eye out for those too!

screams screams screams MEDIA ILLITERACY WILL BE THE DEATH OF ME

if i see ONE MORE PERSON call eurylochus a hypocrite for being mad at odysseus for sacrificing those men to scylla, imma lose it!!

eurylochus DIDNT KNOW opening the bag would lead them to a murderous poseidon - and poseidon that was only so murderous because ODYSSEUS was a hubristic idiot who doxxed himself. do y’all think if eurylochus hadn’t opened the bag, poseidon just would never have attacked them???

and as for abandoning the men to circe, eurylochus had no idea that it would be possible to convince her to turn the men back - for all he knew, this was just going to lead his and odysseus’s deaths.

eurylochus is not the central character so we don’t get to see his thoughts but subtextually it’s pretty clear that he is also going through a character arc: while odysseus is learning to be ruthless, eurylochus is learning to never just give up, to trust that odysseus is going to get them all home.

eurylochus is angry with odysseus because odysseus purposefully sacrificed those men. odysseus did not warn them, did not try to come up with a way to defeat scylla, he just let six of their men be gruesomely killed.

and, finally, (and i personally thought this was clear) eurylochus killed the cow because he was STARVING and CLEARLY SUICIDAL. “how much longer must i suffer now? how much longer must i push through doubt? how much longer must i go about my life like this, when people die like this?” this is CLEARLY eurylochus at his last straw, he can’t take it anymore. he knows they’ll die and he (and seemingly the rest of the crew, minus odysseus) has accepted this.

it’s not until odysseus tries to make a plan to save them that he’s shocked out of his suicidal mindset and begins to regret the choice he and the crew made.
