A question to ponder for those who hate Eurylochus: Do you actually hate him or are you angry that you would have done the same exact things he did given the same amount of limited information he had? Be honest with yourself.

Funny how you never see people calling Odysseus stupid and evil for revealing his name to the Cyclops. I wonder what the difference is between him and Eurylochus that might influence that behavior :)

Jorge is a madman for casting his own mother as Anticlea. If I did that, I wouldn’t be able to get through a single take without sobbing my fucking eyes out.

Yes. Because he’s human. He makes human mistakes. When he kills the cow, he’s exhausted, he likely hasn’t eaten anything since they stole the rest of Polyphemus’ sheep, and he’s probably delirious. That’s why he sounds like he’s coming out of a spell afterwards.

Justice for Eurylochus. The man keeps getting blamed for a god killing over 500 men. He may have opened the bag to quell his own fears and doubts and anxieties, but he’s not the one who incurred the wrath of the god of the sea, which caused the god to take out the vast majority of the fleet.

Killing Helios’ cows was a Bad Move by Eurylochus and the crew, but the last time they likely had a halfway decent meal MIGHT have been Polyphemus’ sheep. They get to Circe’s island. The meal the scouting party eats turns them into pigs. She may end up on good terms with the captain, but there’s no way in hell I’m eating anything else offered. I don’t trust any food she has on her island anymore just out of fear I may be committing cannibalism or might get turned myself. I’m not eating a goddamn siren. They’re literal monsters and I’m not looking to find out if sirens are toxic to human beings if ingested. Of course by the time they get to the island after mutinying, they’re all starving and willing to do what they can to survive. And if they don’t? Well, then, at least they’ll die with their bellies full.

what do you think eury's thought process was for opening the bag? i refuse to believe he just wanted treasure. if it's not treasure and not storm, what did he think was in the bag?

Thanks for asking this because I wanted a reason to talk about this.

This is pure ramble with probably bad punctuation written by a teenager so be warned that it's not very good.

I don't think eury wanted whatever was inside the bag, it was a matter of trust, ody proved that he didn't trust them so they stopped trusting him.

It started during luck runs out, telling someone to shut up and not complain is not the best way to build trust, specially if that person is just worried about you because they already lost many people.

Then he goes up there and when Odysseus asked what was the catch Aeolus told him that he had to keep his friends close, (he also added some extra things to make him do the wrong choice because that's what gods do) but he told him nonetheless.

Odysseus pushed everyone away for nine days, nine days that the crew spent with a sleep deprived Odysseus that was probably always defensive about the bag and was probably also really aggressive because no one is in a good mood after not sleeping, probably eury offered help because he was worried and it didn't go very well because of course Odysseus wouldn't accept help, so that would prove, again, that Odysseus doesn't trust him.

Then after nine days of a sleep deprived Odysseus, winions manipulating everyone, the crew also pushing to open the bag and enough prove that Odysseus doesn't trust them, eury opens the bag, because who wouldn't? Nine days is pretty long and it's probably even longer if you have a sleep deprived guy walking around making very clear that he wouldn't trust any of you for anything because he can't even trust you to take care of a bag, I don't think that the people that are mad at eury or anyone would keep the bag closed, I definitely wouldn't, it's very easy to judge eury without knowing what happened through those nine days.

I should also mention that until now eury did everything Odysseus asked to so eury wouldn't have opened the bag if Odysseus asked him to protect it too and that Aeolus said "now they want to open the bag so they can have closure" so the song makes it very clear that they don't care about the treasure.

Odysseus and eury messed up but everything was Aeolus' fault for making Odysseus play a game specifically made for him to lose.

I love how the Epic fandom can come together every once in a while and share a braincell because every single design I’ve seen of Antinous is hot. I appreciate that we all listened to that walking red flag sing and went “That man is a horrifying human being, but holy shit he’s SMOKING.”

[hisnamewasphil]

Hey so hot take: Eurylochus gets too much shit for opening the bag of the winds. He has a whole ass song RIGHT BEFORE Keep Your Friends Close where he expresses his doubts and immediately gets shut down by Odysseus. “Oh, well, he trusted these little wind monsters over his captain.” Wrong. He felt the need to look for himself because he didn’t trust the “Open Arms” approach and DEFINITELY doesn’t trust a gift from a god. He’s not evil. He’s human.

I WAS SCROLLING THROUGH MAILE FLANAGAN’S INSTAGRAM REELS AND SHE WAS TALKING ABOUT HOW HER WIFE WAS GOING TO START NARUTO AND THAT’S HOW I FOUND OUT NARUTO’S ENGLISH VA IS A LESBIAN WHO’S BEEN WITH HER WIFE SINCE 2008

The prince Agdon fight has to be my favourite moment from OUAW, The whole thing is just so good it drives me mad.

Code White is up on Crunchyroll now hell yeah

In case you want to know what the hell my mind is like in the middle of a fixation, I was draining some water from my ramen (a habit since I was a kid) and my brain went “Pour one out for my boy Naruto”

Sasuke is forever going to be one of my favorite fictional emos because the man is an adult with adult money who can get his shirts tailored, but he insists on running around with the one long sleeve flapping in the wind. Like, brother, please I’m trying to take you seriously, but I cannot stop laughing at that extra fabric hanging off your arm.

[hisnamewasphil]

I started watching Naruto again and let me tell you that mix of that super charming late 90s/early 00s art mixed with the English dub really hit that nostalgia nerve HARD.

It’s been driving me insane that Zeus introduces all of the other gods by name, then says “or me” and the more I think about it, the more I believe the moment Athena chose to convince the other gods over Zeus was the moment she lost the game.

[hisnamewasphil]

Watching Epic animatics is fun because every single Zeus design has made me go
