Odysseus: sings about how he is losing his humanity in order to make it home

Tumblr: ah yes, this is trending material

Hey so like. In The Underworld. When Odysseus sees Polites and his mom, they’re talking about what were essentially their final moments before they died, and it wasn’t the painful moments, but rather the more peaceful ones before they died. His mom talks about always loving him and waiting for him to come home, not that she wasn’t going to see her son get home. Polites talks about greeting the world with open arms, and not being killed by the cyclops.

Just before that, he says “I keep thinking about the infant on the wall”

Do. Do you think that. Do you think he was thinking about the baby because the baby was too young to have any dialogue about his final moments so instead his final peaceful memory, since he wouldn’t have any context for what was happening, was of being taken to the edge of the wall in the gentle arms of a father, and that was just projected onto Odysseus’s mind?

Sometimes Odysseus is so dense my bro he's talking about you 😭

Odysseus: “Why are my eyes and my heart and my soul so heavy?”

My honest reaction:

[twopercentboy]

if Polites was still alive by the time Keep Your Friends Close happens, that bag would have stayed the fuck closed and I am dying on this hill

So discovered the Epic musical and it’s fantastic , and of course my sentimental self immediately went to “Ok but what if Odysseus actually did raise Astyanax as his own —fluff/angst with a happy ending AU” 😅

So anyway here’s some quick rough doodles on that premise, might be more later

WE DID IT👁️

Every second and hour of this work was worth it

I love the idea that instead of Jorge accidentally writing "12 long years", Odysseus just genuinely doesn't know how long it's been. Not because he's bad at math, no, but because he's been gone for so long. It feels like so much longer because every day to him hurts and feels like it drags on now without his Penelope or Telemachus. 10 years feels like 12 when the two people you love the most can't be with you.

Odysseus is the silliest (he is NOT silly) Poseidon asking for his last words after killing over 500 of his men after they're so close home and Odysseus is like EAT FARTS old man I'm out of here
