me when wind bag jetpack

i love how in the beginning of "Dangerous" there's no synth... no other instruments... no backup vocals... It's just guitar because it's just Odysseus

new epic saga so good i want to kill myself

I don’t know how to explain this but Not Sorry For Loving You feels like that scene in Crimson Rivers in chapter 46 when (spoiler warning) James and Reg talk about Reg volunteering and they have the whole “so do I” moment. Like Reg isn’t sorry for loving James in the way he does, which manifests as him volunteering. Idk if this makes any sense but I just put the song on repeat and read the chapter and it fit really well

”After everything you’ve done, how will you sleep at night?” How can you rest easy knowing everything you had to do to get home, slaughtering sirens and sacrificing your crew and reducing a god to begging? How can you live your happily ever after knowing it was built on lives lost? How can you excuse your own unforgivable actions?

“Next to my wife.”

Because it will have been worth it. I will have gotten home and made it back to my wife and son, and every minute of these 20 years, every life lost, all the ruthlessness and monstrous deeds will have been worth it to get there. I will rest easy knowing I completed my journey and made it home.

I WAS FUCKING RIGHT

Scary Ody

I like to think that in somewhere in “Ruthlessness,” Poseidon gets a glimpse of how scary our boy Ody can be. Because at that moment, Poseidon is threatening his ability to go home and he’s do anything to get home, he later learns. So Ody is scared but also angry

Poseidon is in the middle of threatening Odysseus (or maybe after he kills his crew) and he catches a sliver of the man who dropped an infant because Zeus told him too and he would be able to go home. He sees a man who’s ready to get anything out of his way to get his and his crew home (yes, this is before his crew turns stupid and he ditched them) and then, it’s gone. And Poseidon thinks he must’ve imagined it.

Then in the later saga, Poseidon sees a totally different man than early because this man has no crew left to take home, has accepted that he is a monster, and has gone through pretty shitty things. BUT he is definitely more scary so Poseidon is secretly shaking in his flippers

(I have more thoughts but it’s late and I’ll just remember to add on later)

Edit: I just want people to be scared of Odysseus, not his fam or good subjects, but the bad people 😁
