Odysseus: I can excuse dropping infants from a wall, but I draw the line at cheating on my wife!

Circe: … You can excuse dropping infants from a wall…?

So, I was listening to "Just a Man" for probably the thousandth time, as one does, and I was vibing to the ensemble near the end when I remembered one of Jay's recent videos explaining them. That the ensembles were real characters when only human characters are present and that the gods do whatever they want and make their own ensembles.

So does that mean in "Just a Man" it's real soldiers echoing Odysseus' "when does a comet become a meteor...."? Like they're there laying waste to Troy in the background and having these same feelings? Or is Zeus still there in the room with Odysseus as he has a mental crisis, and he's just like "well time to amp up the drama and tension! Can't let this moment go to waste!"?

What if Underverse 0.6 ended differently?

(I'm so glad I got this done before 0.7 Part 2 came out)

Moments From Epic: the Troy Saga That Shall Live Rent Free In My Brain

The opening lines of The Horse and The Infant

"Who do you live for? Who do you fight for? Who do you wish for? Who do you try for?"

"AND TELEMAAACHUS!!!!!!!!!"

The overlapping of Zeus' and Odysseus' parts

The entirety of Just a Man

"So full speed aheaad!!!"

When Eurylochus first appears

"Watch where the birds fly. They will lead us to land!!!"

"Give me til sunrise, and if we don't return, then six hundred men can make this whole place burn!!"

"I had a challenge, a test of skill. A magic boar only the best could kill. One day a boy came for the thrill. A boy whose mind rivalled the boar's own will."

"Cause you're a warrior of the minddd!!!!!"

"Nah, don't be modest, I know you're a goddess. So let's be honest, You are Athena!! Athena!! Badass in the arena. Unmatched, witty, and queen of the best strategies we've seen."

Reblog with the EPIC song that made you cry

[rrainydaydreams]

So you know how ‘just a man’ is repeated in a lot of songs? I think it’s to emphasise the point that despite all the Odysseus has done, he is just a man. He’s not an immortal, a God or anything like that. He is a mortal man who can and will die despite all that he has been through and all of his achievements. And I think it’s just cruel fate that his son is the one who kills him, though unknowingly.

But when…does a comet become a meteor?

When does a candle become a blaze?

When does a Boop become an Evil Boop?
