THIS GOES CRAZYYYYYYY

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA-

Another thought on Epic the Musical, do you want to know one detail that kills me every time?

If you look at the titles of the songs, the ONLY songs that are named after characters are songs that are named after monsters that are trying to slaughter as many people as possible (like Polyphemus, Scylla, and Charybdis). No human character or even any god gets a song named after them, only the monsters do.

But (MINOR SPOILER AHEAD), do you know what song 38 is titled? Odysseus.

Odysseus, the man made monster, who has become something so far from his own humanity that he is counted within the ranks of the terrible monsters that came earlier in the story. Odysseus, who will absolutely be trying to slaughter as many suitors as possible when he returns to Ithaca.

It's such a small detail, but it gets me every time I think about it! Because not only has Odysseus become a monster in the eyes of the other characters, but he has become one in the eyes of THE VERY MUSICAL ITSELF!

AHHHHHHHHH!!!

The Iliad is a wonderful epic filled with super cool fight scenes, stealth missions, and gut wrenching sadness, but there’s this one moment that lives in my head rent free for absolutely no reason aside from slight amusement.

Not sure which book(chapter) it is, but there is a scene in which Achilles has completed his mourning over Patroclus, and if I’m not mistaken, Achilles was there for twelve days and did not eat or drink anything. Trust me this is important.

Achilles goes and he tells his mates (Ody, Menelaus, etc) that he’s gonna go out and absolutely rip Hector a new one.

Before he goes out though, Odysseus stops him and I kid you not, for at minimum half a page, our boy Odysseus goes on a whole MONOLOGUE about how important breakfast is, and how Achilles needs to at least have some meat and wine before he tears through the Trojan army and turns Hector into his personal ragdoll.

And if I’m not mistaken, Odysseus actually gets Achilles to eat before he leaves. What a guy, getting Achilles to listen to him.

Now go eat breakfast like Homer intended, dear readers. If the great, swift footed Achilles needs to eat breakfast, so do you.

SO LISTENING TO CHARYBDIS

WHEN ODY CLEARS CHARYBDIS’ WHIRLPOOL AND HES TALKING ABOUT HOME

IT RESEMBLES TIRESEAS’ “TIME IVE UNLOCKED IT”

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

Happy Jesus Resurrection day for those who celebrate.

God loves you all, no matter what.

Ithaca saga spoilers technically⚠️

There’s something about those arrow sounds that just make me…really happy. Like yeah, buddy, you’re an archer. Mess ‘em up, bud. It’s like the reverse of the Polyphemus club splats.

Just got here. Let’s see what happens :)

Spoilers technically⚠️

I know that Odysseus cries A LOT in the Odyssey, which is fine and ok and very healthy, but it also something hits different in Epic where we see Odysseus really lets out all of his relief and tears when he embraces Telemachus and ESPECIALLY Penelope.

SPOILERS FOR LEGENDS ARCEUS TECHNICALLY BUT ALSO A QUESTION

⚠️⚠️⚠️

Ok does anyone know how to unlock Ingo’s harder fights in Legends Arceus? I’ve done the daybreak quests (aka the dlc), and I’ve fought Ingo several times in his regular battle. I’ve also fought the galaxy team and both clans in the path of tenacity. I have also done the path of solitude a few times. Do I have to catch god to fight silly amnesiac man?

Mates, Luke is troubleshooting on Twitch, and apparently Teagan is on TikTok. It’s most definitely an internet issue since Luke is crunchy and frozen as I’m watching. Everyone please play nice, ever so kindly.

I kid you not I sobbed when reading Gathering of Shades. I think if Achilles and Pat showed up in The Underworld I would’ve lost it.

EPIC: The Musical except Achilles and Patroclus exist and/or are mentioned directly.
