The gasp that I gusped

“how will you sleep at night?”

“next to my wife”

THE WAY I SCREAMED

[eggowafflestv]

I listened to epic the musical for the first time last week.. i haven't stopped since... I need these songs injected into my veins.. espicially hermes's songs

[eggowafflestv]

I'm home alone which means I am singing and acting out Epic (I am of course doing every role)

“Not Sorry For Loving You” is one of the more fascinating songs to look at, especially in this saga, as it is openly unreliable narration from Calypso. It is a perfect example of a non-apology that abusers in situations will employ to center themselves as the true victim. I think it does a brilliant job showcasing the stark differences between mortal and immortal thinking (in a way, it almost mirrors "My Goodbye" — that would be a separate analysis though).

And, like my mutual @heliomanteia said on his own posts, I’m extremely glad they didn’t shy away from this aspect of her in the song, like they have shied away from heavier topics in earlier sagas.

She is not sorry for what she has done to Odysseus. She cannot fathom needing to actually apologize for her feelings. Every statement is an IF. 

“IF I pushed you, Or IF I came on too strong Or IF I *ambushed you For that, I’ll say I was wrong.” 

But she never lets him say that she DID do these things.  It’s deliberately not a conversation / not a duet. She speaks over him, commands him to let her speak when he begins to respond.

The only instance in which Odysseus does get to speak, is when he directly responds to her request of lying to her. He’s placating her, working around the still present threat of her. It’s not out of character for him to have said "I love you, but not like you want me to."

Unfortunately, I did not stay off of my dash enough to avoid seeing posts made about this song, so it has crept into my analysis a bit. If it sounds as if I’m repeating something, that’s because I am. You should check out Will's (@/heliomanteia) posts on this. He will always understand Calypso more than me.  

This song honestly gets 5/5 stars from me. It’s perfect.

*I do greatly appreciate the use of this verb specifically, as it does imply (at least to me) that she did sexually abuse him, and that they are acknowledging this aspect of Odysseus' time trapped there. I know not everyone agrees with that though.

I also really liked the movie!! Most of the songs were great and it was a really good plot idea but my problem with it was that it felt so rushed and the plot holes. Like I really wish we could've seen castle coming 😭😭

unpopular opinion

i loved descendants: the rise of red. NOW, do i prefer it over the first three? no.. BUT I LOVED THE MOVIE. it isnt a bad movie, the plot could have some fixing, but the movie is so good. i loved it
