Hi it’s loving Julie and Flynn hours

[fangirl17-07]

I cannot understate how clever and beautiful Penelope's response to wyfilwma is. In the original myth, Penelope literally isn't sure if the man before her is truly her husband, so she asks him to move a bed that is impossible to move. A fact about their relationship that only he could know. When he gets absolutely flabbergasted over this request, it's proof that it IS him.

In Epic there is only one change. Instead of Penelope being unsure, Odysseus is unsure of himself and feels like he would be unrecognizable to his wife. He keeps telling her over and over again, I am not the man you knew, and it's almost as though he's trying to convince himself, too. Like since he crossed every line he's killed all the gentleness in him, and he has to force himself to accept it. Penelope knows better, Penelope knows him. Instead of using their wedding bed as a clever trick to prove it to herself, she proves it to him instead.

"See that wedding bed? Could you carry it over?

"Lift it high on your shoulders and take it far away from here"

Shes talking about their bed but she is also talking about their love, their history, everything that makes up their marriage. Its like shes asking him, if you truly are someone else- here's everything that we used to be, everything that we built together, throw it out. You're not the same, right? Then surely you can detach yourself from all we used to be.

But he cant. he cant he cant he cant and she knows that. The shock and the outrage and the pain of being asked to do such a thing hits him with a full force and he talks of how he made the bed, what its meant to them, why he couldnt possibly move it away.

"Do you realize what you have asked me?

The only way to move it is to cut it from its roots"

To cut it from the roots would be to sever their love entirely, it cant exist without what came before and what came before was the two of them. He fears thats what she wants, a completely uproot of their life together. But the fact that he fears it, truly deeply cares like a sentimental bastard, the fact that he could never not be the man who loves her is what she's been trying to show him all along.

"Only my husband knew that

So I guess that makes him you"

like my GOD. THIS LINE. He cannot be anything but her love because he and only he knows what they are to each other. She says it and that is final. Moving it is impossible because seperating the man he used to be from the man he is is impossible too. They are one in the same.

"I will fall in love with you over and over again

I don't care how, where, or when

No matter how long it's been, you're mine

Don't tell me you're not the same person

You're always my husband and I've been waiting, waiting"

She is not loving him despite the trail of bodies in his wake and her love does not change the carnage-- in fact she is the reason for it, she knows this and she doesnt care. This is her husband now and always. And as long as bloodied hands will still hold her weaving ones he is the same exact man she's been waiting for.

It is such a beautiful message to leave your audience with. It is so perfect for Penelope as a character and the emotional weight this song has elevated my understanding of the odyssey and their relationship. Twenty years is so long, everything has changed, we have done unforgivable things to get home to each other-- because our home is each other. You are sharp and cruel and I am clever and so so angry and we are both so tired but guess fucking what, I love you. No matter how long its been, youre mine.

@berrywinkle THANK YOU!!

Ridiculous that some people think Penelope was too «forgiving» of Odysseus in the end. Like, what does she have to forgive him for? Killing the suitors who harassed her for years? Coming back to her despite the monsters and gods plotting against him? The things Odysseus did wrong (sacrificing his crew) isn’t Penelope’s place to forgive. If anything, that would fall on the families of the crew. She’s been waiting 20 years for him to come back, do you really think she cares how he got home?

Love a good Vine reference

Honestly I still blush, smile and squeal at the thought of them! 😊😁😆

rewatching jatp is realising that Julie and Luke are one of the best ships ever four years later and their onstage chemistry is STILL unmatched

“and you’re a part of me” you will always be famous (to me anyways)

The whole band dynamic is this show was so good as well - the acting doesn’t feel forced or unfunny like some of Netflix’s more recent “teen” shows. Because the whole concept of a ghost band is obviously unrealistic in the first place, they embrace it and actually have fun with it instead of trying to pretend the most insane scenarios, overdone love triangles and exaggerated tropes are normal high school stuff. And it ended up a far better show anyways!

11 year old me really knew what’s up

@missmitchieg honestly, we're practically GLOBAL!But if you did create one, I would join in a heartbeat! 😏

Honest question: is there a JATP community thing? If so, where? 🤔

PREACH!

Honestly this was not a bad episode. People have hurt feelings because things didn’t go the way they wanted it to but every characters actions and words had very valid intentions and meanings.

Tommy was protecting himself. That is understandable, however hurtful to Buck it may have been.

Maddie explicitly stated there is nothing wrong with adoption, and that they could consider it. Wanting your own biological child is okay too.

I like Bucktommy. I also like Buddie. Neither are the sole reason I watch the show. I will continue to watch and enjoy regardless of who Buck ends up with, and please keep in mind that the writers are not catering towards what *you* want. There is a larger story at hand, and we are lucky enough to be able to watch it unfold.

Also, for the love of god, please stop talking out your anger on the actors just because you aren’t happy with what’s going on in the story. Oliver is the last person you should accuse of being biphobic. That man has so much love and care for Buck and the LGBT community. It’s childish at this point.

[fangirl17-07]

has anyone pointed out that the first time Tommy calls Buck by Buck is on the goodbye?

I'm glad they broke up but I'm still out here so curious why he called him Evan and now he calls him buck?

[fangirl17-07]

No, but SAME!

The JATP soundtrack has gotten me through some really goddamn bad times the last few years and I’m pretty sure it’s saved the tatters of my mental health this week.

Thank god for it tbh.

[fangirl17-07]
