YES THE SEQUEL I'M LITERALLY SO SCARED.
We already have fictives of modern versions of three of them, plus I'm dating them, plus the main one I'm dating I'm wanting to worship the factual counterpart of.
I've got Hypnos assuring me Hermes won't care about the fictives and in-sys relationships and I've got Apollo assuring me he doesn't care if I introject him (whether separately or myself, as a mixtive) but I'm still Struggling.
Also what is clairaudience? I'm not familiar with that term. /gq
(Also hi I'm OP, this is my personal blog.)
If I see one more person say "sirens aren't like that in the Greek mythology" I'm going to explode.
POLITES DIDN'T DIE IN THE CYCLOPS CAVE
ZEUS DIDN'T GAVE ODYSSEUS A CHOICE AS TO WHETHER HE OR HIS CREW DIED.
ODYSSEUS DID NOT LEAVE CIRCE'S ISLAND ALIVE BY CRYING ABOUT HIS WIFE AND HOW MUCH HE MISSES HER.
POSEIDON WAS NOT AFRAID OF SCYLLA.
AND ODYSSEUS DID NOT READ THE LIPS OF THE SIREN.
Epic is not 100% faithful to The Odyssey, there are events that even happen out of order and Jay has said so. So don't come to me with "that's not how it is in the book" for a detail, it's like they heard that piece of information somewhere and didn't release it
(I'm angry with those who criticize the animators)
The best way to explain to someone what it’s like to be an Epic the Musical fan listening to the Thunder Saga is to inform them that the most cheerful song in the saga is called Suffering
Personally I think Ody already knew Eury opened the wind bag, initially bc there's just something about his tone and the way Ody cut him off in the beginning of Puppeteer that felt... deliberate? But it's also mirrored in Scylla and Mutiny
It's just a little thing in Scylla but when Eury first tries to confess in Puppeteer Ody gives him a task instead "go check out the island" vs "light up six torches" instead of talking about it, like he's avoiding it
But more prominently is "whatever you have to say can wait some more of this I'm sure" sounds to me like "don't tell me. If you don't tell me we can pretend I don't know and I don't have to do anything about it. Lie to me (by omission)" vs Eury's "tell me you did not know that would happen" and "then you have forced my hand" while said in anger can also totally be ready similarly. I've already seen others talk about how he was basically begging Ody to lie to him so like, "lie to me so I don't have to do anything about it" again
(whether or not Eury would've been able to play along, assuming he did want that, I don't know, and ig we'll never know)
Also Ody's total lack of reaction. Sure Scylla had "leaving them feeling betrayed" but having it said out loud could still sting. It could also be a "I thought we had a deal to not talking about that" type betrayal.
Anyway many thoughts head full
he has his mothers eyes and his father’s wrath
