Where Every Scroll is a New Adventure
My friend told me to post this on Tumblr, at first I wasn't sure of it but they convinced me 🗿
It's not completely finished, I'll finish it later

Aphrodite isn't called Pandemos (of All People) so you can sit around and let the big names capitalise love and serve it only to those who can afford to pay past the persecution. Hermes isn't called Oeopolus (Shepherd) so you can sit around and let a bunch of power-hungry wolves lead a flock of influencable sheep. Apollo isn't called Paean (Healer) so you can sit around while wealthy corporations serve healthcare only to those who can afford not to die. Athena isn't called Ambulia (Counsellor) so you can sit around while the people are being fed propaganda against each other to divert them from the real enemy at the top. Dionysus isn't called Eleuthereus (the Liberator) so you can sit around while freedom is only granted to those whose skins have the acceptable colour while the others die in chains. Zeus isn't called Xenios (of the Foreigners) so you can sit around while the borders are closed to those who need it and only open to those who can give back the money.
The Challenge
Penelope! So happy to finally see her! Absolutely love her design guys what the heck–
Penelope singing “waiting” to the same melody as Anticlea (Odysseus’s mom) makes so much sense to me. When Odysseus left, they had to support each other and it makes sense that they bonded and confined to each other a lot on top of being family.
Hold Them Down
O.O
Honestly, wow. Just. Wow.
I love how this song addresses how much of a threat the suitors were. They would not take no for an answer. They planned to kill Telemachus multiple times. And they would have forced Penelope if they could get away with it. The Greeks had really strict rules on hospitality
Also, I would like to add that I recognized wolfythewitch’s animatic from the way they drew the food and the suitors’ noses. I don’t know why that stood out to me so much
Great detail in how Antinous died by an arrow to the throat. Very accurate
Odysseus
BOSS BATTLE!!!
The chorus chanting “O-dee-sse-us” in the background THE SAME WAY they chant “Po-lee-phe-mus” in Survive from the Cyclops Saga was absolute gold. Because Odysseus is the monster now (rawr rawr)
He just had to get up and personal in “You don't think I know my own palace? / I BUILT IT!” Drama queen
Telemachus Telemachus Telemachus ! Probably my favorite character in Epic! Love his intro.
poor baby did not get the ruthlessness memo thou
I Can’t Help But Wonder
I refuse to rank the songs of this Saga because it may physically pain me, but this song is definitely one of my top ten for the musical
Absolutely bawled my eyes out when Odysseus and Telemachus finally hugged!
Love how this song shows the (new) bond between father and son. And it’s such a sharp contrast to the previous song; really emphasises how much his family means to Odysseus
Athena! Reunion! In the words of my friend, so glad that she has a physical reminder of how much she changed and the consequences she faced for going against Zeus in God Games. Also glad that Odysseus and she got to make up, altogether it’s not instant forgiveness. They both hurt each other a lot, but they mean so much to the other. <3
Would You Fall In Love With Me Again
Again, bawled my eyes out.
Penelope and Odysseus dueting, chef’s kiss
I love the instrumentals in this song. Everytime each character speaks, you can really distinguish the viola and guitar and their signature motifs
Penelope testing Odysseus with the olive tree wedding bed was probably one of my favorite moments.
How I think it went down:
While I love how everyone’s like “Penelope was testing to see if it was really Odysseus”, I think it would be really funny if Penelope immediately recognizes Odysseus, but Odysseus is being depressed, so she snaps him out of it.
I also like how Penelope added "waiting~ for you" to contrast with Odysseus's "waiting for love"
I love how the last lines of the musical are “I love you”. It shows how much devotion Odysseus has and how much he cares for and prioritizes Penelope. The Odyssey could easily be argued for one of the greatest love stories, on both Odysseus and Penelope’s fronts.
Does anyone else connect Fyodor Dostoevsky in the most recent stuff with Baba Yaga and other Russian/Slavic folklore? I know the irl Dostoevsky referenced folklore in his works. Maybe there is some connection. Both Fyodor and Baba Yaga are associated with skulls and are “immortal”. We see the two side of Fyodor in dead apple while he is “crime” is ability refers to its self as “punishment” which can be seen as life and death. Baba Yaga is a goddess of birth and death. There is the Cannibalism Arc in bsd while Baba Yaga is a cannibal. They both transform Fyodor takes over Bram’s body and Baba Yaga is a shapeshifter. Both are extremely smart and manipulative. Fun fact Baba Yaga can take the form of a bird. ;) Nikolai and birds ;)

Sooo I made an Eddsworld oc……did I make her just to self ship myself with Paul?? Maybe….yeah 😔
An alternate universe in which aliens had arrive during ww1-ww2ish, Inspired by the incident of the attack of the dead men. Also sincerely sorry for wrong grammer.
I am not native to English. Im using a dictionary lol.
When we had arrive, a group of men in gas masks threw bombs made of a gas-mixture. Mostly harmless to some of our specimens on board our ship, we have landed pretty far, enough for the trees and all sorts of organisms to hide us, but also close enough to see the destruction these Terrans had caused.
We had expected aliens from a far, trying to colonize a terrene classed fleshlings. But..no, we saw other humans, gasping for air as they clenched their very own throats, horrifying site indeed.
As they fell onto the ground like dying flies, the men decided to start stabbing them, as if they weren't already dead. But soon as one was about to be stabbed, the corpse,.. or what seemingly was a corpse clenched the knife that was on the gun.
We had a okay grasp with humanity, although we didn't understand why they needed to tape brittle knives on their guns. Why couldn't they just shoot them? Who knows.
The man's hand bled, before they managed to forcefully take the knife from the poorly duct taped gun. Before tackling the soldier while puking blood, it started to stab it, the other soldiers were stunned although one had stepped up and shot it.
"W████uf war███t █u? F██ts█tzen!" The man shouted harshly, my men couldn't understand such words.. as if our translators broke right here and there. It sounded like a mix of Martikir Urthonian and Schlovia'Adepti language, an abomination that is. Although it may be due to the distance from the man and us.
Soon the soldiers did not hesitantly think of not continuing, as if a dead or supposedly dead man had came and killed one of their soldiers. Soon those whom have not been stabbed started walking, using their guns as canes and soon some of them started to retreat without command.
Four or three soldiers were stabbed, and some were shot. Soon the same man had shouted, "VER███S█ ███ZT!" They had ran through the barbed wire, most had started falling and being trampled by their own soldiers. Brutally being cut by the fact that they were being slammed forcefully by hundreds of feet and onto sharp wires made of metal.
Soon the dead men started shooting their guns, like some sick game of.. what was that? Shooting chalk through fake gunsthat humans think are fun ? Ah right.. airsoft.
Soon enough all of them had left, the field was bloody, and their screams and puking noises filled the air with red. I do not know what had happened to those men, but I know the other side had ran sl fast that they had simply gone through their own traps and defenses.
It was a scene from a nightmare, something no one could've made up alone. We fled from there, going somewhere else instead of that monstrosity of a battle.. I wish we had came to earth after this horrid battle between all of humanity.

Ok so I was downstairs and my mom suggested I have egg for dinner and I legitimately said
"no I don't want the chicken fetus"
And now I will never call it anything else
It’s about three games. every 10 to 100 years a woman that is probably in some way related to God (JK JK but still she hella powerful) picks a mythology and a curtain number of teens to represent the counsel of that mythology, and has the representatives play these hunger games level versions of playground games (no one dies, well they do, but these games take place in the dream’s of the teens, and whatever skills they acquire in the dream stay with them IRL and they get no rest while in this dream because science) like hide and seek, tag, paintball/dodgeball, even mafia once (but like, the version where it’s cupid, guardian angle, and a tad more PG). one time (the time the story/dream takes place in) is during when the Greek mythology was chosen.
The dream/story takes place from the POV of the representative of Apollo. if the representatives die it’s them losing the game, and the god/goddess they represent has to spend the equivalent of the total sum of days until either everyone loses or the game is won as mortal (did that make any sense? no? say the representative of Aphrodite died on day 1th in the 20 day lasting 1st game, the 4th of the 6 day lasting 2nd game, and the entirety of the final game. the goddess herself would have to spend 20 days as a mortal).
The first game is selected as hide & seek, and everyone has to find a sage trapped throughout this legends of Zelda style map and free them in order to win. each time a sage is released it gives the representative of the equivalent god 1 or 2 powers they can use for the rest of the games, and even outside the games if they were to know how (which no one ever does). or at least, all sages must be freed it doesn’t really matter by who.
and because in this dream I was the representative of Apollo, this kid’s treating this whole thing like a video game, and knows how to survive in the wilderness, which is kinda where the hide & seek game takes place.
Of course I get all my Greek info from Uncle Rick so have fun.
Are the people who drink milk not weird? Like, imagine the animal that made that milk drinking human milk, would we not be disgusted by that?
