#it’s a hopeful pick-me-up from Monster and the Underworld Saga in general

Maybe if I cope hard enough song 21 or 22 is Man of the House-
#epic the musical#odysseus#queue’d#there’s a 50% chance it’s bc it sounds Hamilton-y but I love Man of the House#it’s such a bop#ik it’s scrapped but like IF I COPE-#anyway my reasoning as to why it could be song 21 or 22 is bc epic the musical as a standalone adaptation#is REALLY missing some Odysseus backstory content#bc if you went into the musical without knowing anything about the odyssey or Greek mythology here’s what you’d know#1. he’s been at war for 10 years and really misses his family#2. he really really loves and misses his wife#3. he’s the king of Ithaca#4. when he was younger Athena saw him kill a boar and was like ‘yo this kid’s cool I’m gonna mentor him’#< also I’m not even sure if point 4 is accurate to the actual Greek myths but regardless#outside of Warrior of the Mind there’s not a lot of Odysseus backstory#like you can function on these points alone but I think it would be fun to get more ody backstory#also imagine act 2 opening with Man of the House#it’s a hopeful pick-me-up from Monster and the Underworld Saga in general#and not to mention illustrates what’s at stake plus starts to introduce the ‘we’ve been on this voyage for a bit too long man’ element#plus it would introduce the ‘where is he’ motif and the ‘time is ticking it’s running out time to be the man of the house’ motif earlier#and I could write a whole ‘nother wall of tags about how those motifs would affect the story in this scenario#I mean Jay’s probably gonna introduce those motifs somewhere else outside of The Challenge and Odysseus/King so yeah#Man of the House you’re not a cut song to me <3#epic the thunder saga#lark rambles
