Do you ever look at a character and want to dig your fingers into their symbolism so hard it leaves marks on their backstory?

#Hazbin Hotel #The sandman #Harry Potter #Yu-gi-oh #Epic the Musical #Game of Thrones #Legend of Zelda #No I won't elaborate. Everyone can drawn their own conclusions #I'm not h0rny- you're h0rny!#I really need people to understand how much more deeply gratifying a well laid out character with symbolism is than any kind of s3x #It's like shoving a thousand org@sms into one idea and it's not even s3xual #THATS how satisfying it is #Religion- history- mythology-chemistry--all your symbolism and imagery delights me #The character doesn't even have to be “good” as long as you gave enough allusions to the above - I could write 100 epics making them better

I've been thinking of how the Endless siblings' duties and realms could overlap with each others.

Food for thought:

Dream and Death: People that die in their sleep. Dream leads their subconsciousness through his realm while waiting for his sister to find them. When she does, she guides the dreamer away, and Lucienne moves their books to the archives.

Death and Desire: Serial killers. Desire and Death meeting in blood-stained back alleys like a couple after a one night stand. (I picture this happened at least once or twice between Desire and Destruction when he was around, too?)

Death and Destruction: War. They follow after one another so closely that it's unfathomable. They've spent millennia huddled beside one another on scorched earth with shrapnel flying overhead. Inevitably, their paths will always intersect.

Dream and Desire or Despair: Are you joking? So many dreams. Wet dreams of both kinds: one is tears, the other is... Well, you know. What are dreams and nightmares if not the desires and dread of humanity, after all? (On that note, Delirium and Dream have to be quite familiar with one another's realms, don't they?)

Dream and Destiny: Prophetic dreams, duh. People have been misinterpreting the connection between these two for eons when, in reality, Destiny rarely permitted prophesy to creep into his brother's realm. On occasion, however, the pair will meet: a portion of the Dreaming fading into a maze or the Garden of Forking Ways suddenly blurring a right turn into Fiddler's Green.

Delirium and Despair: So many drug-induced stupors, so many drunken nights where alcohol aggravated an emotional wound. Delirium and Despair would practically dance around one another- Okay, so only Delirium is dancing, but still. And for those who are desperate for release from their despair and seek it out by ruining themselves, I think Desire enjoys occasionally strolling in on their sisters' meetings and lounging with them for awhile.

Death and Destiny: They are the two absolutes. Both of them are the only true certainties in the universe. They are what will happen no matter what. Destiny will proceed- even if it changes- and everything will die. These two will always overlap with one another more than everyone else, I think, even if they don't speak of it.

And those are just the ones I thought of for now. The possibilities are (teehee) endless.

#the sandman #Endless siblings #Dream of the endless #Destiny of the endless #Desire of the endless #Despair of the endless #Death of the endless #Destruction of the endless #Delirium of the endless #I didn't forget about the sandman... I DIDN'T!#See? See what I put here?? Thought #Someone give me another realm overlap- or a different interpretation #okay technically the possibilities are not endless but let me have my joke!#Also I need more people mixing together sibling interactions aside from the most obvious ones #You think I don't know about Dream and Desire? Or Delirium and Destruction? Or Desire and Despair???#Show me Delirium and Death. Show me Destruction and Desire. Show me Dream and Destiny.

#epic the musical #Odysseus #Hermes #Aeolus #Zeus #Poseidon #Calypso #otherwise known as the epilogue to Epic The musical #God its so much less funny when it's not in motion #Athena is kind of a grey area in my mind bc she screws him over a bit and then helps him later #But srsly- Hermes is seemingly the only god in Epic that didn't screw Ody over? Or have a reason to help him but did?#Like Aeolus 'helps' by trapping the storm for him but is definitely playing a game and sets it up against Ody #Hermes arguably is also looking for entertainment but the help he gives is ACTUALLY helpful??#He doesn't obviously do everything for him in Dangerous but he helps #Hermes never negatively impacts Odysseus as a person or his journey to get home

I hope that we hear sections of "harps and arps" during the Ithaca Saga to show that Hermes is there to guide the souls of the dead suitors to the Underworld like in The Odyssey.

#epic the musical #hermes #i think it would be a really neat way to give him a cameo #bc it's mentioned as one of his bullet point list roles in The Odyssey #but like... definitely wouldnt make sense for him to sing or anything prob?#but hearing his harps and arpeggios like in Puppeteer would be a fun easter egg

I just realized that I typically picture Hermes with his eyes shadowed (AKA not visible) like 90% of this fandom... So now I'm wondering how he's winking.

Like, with his head wings?

Hermes: Do NOT *wink* open the bag, Odysseus *wink*

Odysseus:.... Are you okay?

Hermes: I'm just saying, darling... You definitely shouldn't open this bag *wink* *wink* *wink*

Odysseus: Ooooohhhhhh... *wink* I gotcha.

#epic the musical #epic the vengeance saga #odysseus #hermes #someone animate winking head wings for me #i want someone to show me how that looks #like do the first two primary feathers that have a space between them do a scissor motion in front of his face?#even though i know feathers dont work like that? he's a god right!?

The rest of the world: *goes to work, eats, talks about war and the economy and politics*

The Epic fandom: *watches every single fan animatic to find one where literally anyone (except maybe Calypso) gives Odysseus a freaking hug*

#epic the musical #odysseus #we all seem to be in agreement on this #please someone give this man a kind and consensual touch #Athena #hermes #Penelope #telemachus #polites #Eurylochus #I'm not tagging everyone but you get the picture #SOMEONE HOLD THIS POOR GREEK!

That post about death note being "everyone's first anime" (untrue statement) made me curious and now I want to gather data for science

Can you reblog this and tell me where are you from and what was your starter anime?

#Yu-gi-oh #YugiOHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!#And Pokemon I guess? but at the same time I don't feel like Pokemon counted??? I don't know why #Yugioh was my childhood show as well as the first thing I ended up really recognizing AS an anime later and that got me into the culture #I love you my gateway drug #My first love. My first ship. I owe you my life #Or...maybe you actually ruined my life. Eh. Too late now #It's time to D-D-D-DESTROY MY SOCIAL LIFE WOOOO!!!!#Ironically I was legit just revisiting my first love

Imagine Calypso wasn't just being poetic when she started singing "Not Sorry For Loving You."

Imagine she is actually repeating verbatim what Hermes said to her. They don't fight, but Hermes does twist the proverbial knife in, so to speak.

Imagine Hermes actually came down with a smile on his face and no sympathy as he told her that he was taking Odysseus away, that she would never get to see his face again, and that he was not hers to have.

Imagine if she argued with him, and Hermes only shrugged, saying that "[she] ambushed him and came on too strong, so [she] shouldn't be surprised if he hates [her]."

AKA an AU where Hermes is cruel when he tells Calypso that Odysseus is being set free from the island.

#epic the musical #epic the vengeance saga #Hermes #Odysseus #Calypso #If you look at the lyrics though it is plausible Hermes DID say some of that to her verbatim #I picture Hermes as the kind of person to be cruel with his words rather than his actions?#He's the god of messengers and language so that god can weave a sentence #Physically fighting Calypso would be pointless and fleeting- but hurting her with words and facts that will remain with her for eternity?#Yikes #AU where Hermes cares about Odysseus. Shut up. YES he does- sHut UP!#The brain rot has set in. And we are now abandoning canon for self-indulgences that make me feel something besides the hole in my heart #Canonically I do think Hermes cares- but I'm ramping that intensity up to fanon levels thank you very much- as I'm prone to doing #Feast with me my brethren

After Ody gets home and, of course, slaughters all the suitors and reunites with his wife and son, that man absolutely sat down with a council and immediately pulled out schematics, like:

"Cool, cool. So, first things first: We're building new temples for Athena and Hermes. What? Placement? Oh, yeah... Just knock down the Poseidon one. It's fine. I stabbed that God, like, 20 times into submission. Pretty sure that means the ocean is my b*tch now....And f*ck that guy anyways, am I right? So, for Athena's temple, I'm definitely thinking blue✨-"

#epic the musical #Odysseus #Hermes #Athena #Ody just going around Ithaca for the next few months of his mental recovery like he's in a home remodel show with the temples #I love the idea of Hermes and Athena fist bumping in their sweet new temples- waving at Uncle Poseidon glaring at them from the water #I feel Ody would feel the need to thank them in some way since they actively were helpful to him?#Mythology tells us that gods f-ing love temples #Yeah yeah he'll fix up the palace and deal with the food stores and all that too- but first: which shade of green would Hermes like more?#Ody: F it. I'll just ask him-- GRAMPS!!!#But srsly why is Poseidon just cool with getting stabbed? I would be concerned about retribution and the raising of the tides once he heals #But i guess Ody isn't?? So yeah screw it- do whatever he wants now. Kill all the cyclops. Why not?#All he hears are screams- and he's jamming out

Athena: Don't go down there, Hermes. We talked about this. You're going to let Odysseus do this for himself. NO. MOLY.

Hermes, visibly strained: Mm-hm. Yep, yes. I know, darling.... I won't.
