I love "Open Arms" from Epic the Musical. The main singer's voice sounds like he's smiling, WHICH I LOVE, and it always cheers me up. But also, like, it's so fucking funny.

So Polites is like, "This life is amazing! Greet the world with open arms! Show trust, and be trusted!" All that fun stuff. And then they meet the lotus eaters, and he goes, "Odysseus be nice." And Odysseus just. threatens them into giving him what they want (food). And I know a lot of people interpret Polites's next few lines as "See? Being nice worked!" But for me, I see it as "Okay, okay, okay. That's a little wrong, but you've kinda got it. Okay, okay. We can work with this!" Especially with the enthusiastic way it was sung. IDK man I just found it super funny.

Of course, they learn it's mind controlling lotus, so Polites tries it his own way (asking nicely), which is what he likely preferred Odysseus had done. And he got an answer! (Non mind controlling food!) Also jives with the softer way he sung, "This life is amazing when you greet it with open arms," in the next chorus. Because look! He did it gently! And so he repeats his message in a gentler tone.

Anyway, Im gonna relisten to it again because I love Polites's voice.

BY INSERTING ODYSSEUS’S MENTAL BREAKDOWN AND HIS SUICIDAL THOUGHTS JAY HAS ACTUALLY MADE LOVE IN PARADISE SO MUCH MORE ANGSTY OMG???

The dissociation—Odysseus was in no shape to carry on. Jay didn’t even need to bring up anything abt s.a. that happened on the island—just a simple comparison between the behaviors of Odysseus when he arrived and that of Odysseus seven years later: just look what happened on this island that caused him to breakdown so thoroughly. This is so perfectly done.

"So like, the Lotus Eaters were just hypnotized dudes, but the fandom turned them into cute little creatures. And Jorge made that canon. Then people got confused and assumed the Winions were the same creature as the Lotus Eaters, and eventually, it became canon that the WERE the same creature. So now, the Lotus Eaters and the Winions are actually the same species. Also the Winions is the company the Jorge now owns. Also the winions are us"

Polites, to Odysseus: Let me be your light!

Polites gets killed by Polyphemus

Odysseus to Polyphemus: I am your darkest moment!

Because he has just lost his light.
