Athena and Zeus in The Odyssey:

Athena: Yo, this man has been staying way too long on this and has suffered enough of bs, can we let him free?

Zeus: *shrugs* Sure, Hermes tell Calypso to let him free

Athena and Zeus in Epic The Musical:

Athena: *heavy breathing after dealing with 6 gods* Alright I've beaten your games, can you free him now

Zeus: FUCKING PERISH 🦅🦅🦅🦅⚡⚡⚡🦅🦅🦅🦅

New version that is now based on my perspective from listening to God Games more:

Athena: *heavy breathing after dealing with 6 gods* Alright I've beaten your games, can you free him now

Zeus: Yeah, no sorry but you make me ashamed of you AND kinda myself, mostly you because you are going all this way to free a mortal and this in front of a lot of people sooo... *lightning blast*

Zeus's part is Okay, but I like a bit more now from thinking more on a deeply on it instead of thinking of it as just Zeus throwing a hissy fit (Also vocal wise I love how deep Luke Holt's voice gets in that section so there's a plus for that)

Did you know? In the Japanese version of Rayman GBC, Rayman and Mr Dark’s number of fingers were changed from four to five in the cutscenes.

Here’s a first comparison of all of the scenes with visible differences! Due to the limit of 30 pictures, Arcane Forest and the menu screens are in another post!

Spellbound Forest:

Airy Tunes:

(Gosh, the first Japanese one here is pretty atrocious lol)

Rainy Forest:

Rocky Peaks:

Ancient Forest:

Fiery Depths:

However, they forgot to change it specifically for the Fiery Depths version of the helicopter cutscene! Which is hilarious considering they could have just copy-pasted the identical Rocky Peaks version of the picture which they did edit!

May I just say, TBNW the series shared a lot of unintentional similarities with UWMA when it comes to their main couples

Part 1 Phukan vs Pharm

Similar:

-Sweet and caring when it comes to their loved ones

-fathers died of illness at 12 and 10 respectively

-both chose their school or major to respect said fathers

- both have mothers who live outside the country

-have very caring friends who protect them at all cost

-have very loving and protective boyfriends/literal soulmates who want to take away all their pain and suffering

-put extra care into their into their unique routine or hobby

-innocent but not naive virgin soft boys who face existential dread the day after their first times

-I’d die for both of them

- both get very vivid dreams of other worlds/past lives respectively

-both got car trouble 😂

-gave themselves space from their boyfriends to wrap their heads around the sh*t they’ve been through

-emotionally got back together with them in the end

Different:

Phu is more dismissive of affection because he’s used to being alone and isn’t used to many people only caring about him while Pharm is more timid and afraid of pursuing love due to past life trauma

Phu is used to not being the sought out for one in his friend group, which leaves him feeling insignificant. While Pharm is more noticed by others for his cooking, cuteness, and relationships, leaving him concerned and embarrassed to reveal things to his friends at the start.

Phu suffers from insecurities about life, abandonment issues and loneliness that he initially copes with by being very superstitious, people pleasing and self isolating. While Pharm suffers from PTSD and anxiety that he initially copes with by avoiding triggers and crying.

Phu is an only child, while Pharm has a younger brother who lives with his mother.

Phu’s mother unintentionally (emotionally) abandoned him by leaving him for Australia to be cared for by family in Thailand while he was still young because she grieved too much constantly being reminded of her late husband while her son wanted to be surrounded by his father’s memories. While Pharm’s mother kept raising both her kids and running a restaurant by herself in Thailand after her husbands death and only after Pharm grew up did she decide to move to the US to open up a restaurant in New York, making sure to constantly keep in touch with her son while he start’s university and also makes sure he’s cared for and they both visit each other whenever they can.

Phu keeps in touch with his cousins and his dad’s side of the family. While Pharm never actually met any of his father’s family until he was a freshman at university.

Phu is an humanities major while Pharm is economics

Phu encourages his boyfriend to live for himself and allow himself to be happy. While Pharm encourages his boyfriend to reconnect with his family be a part of their lives.

Phu distances himself from Cir as a way to cope with the betrayal of being lied to and being made to feel guilty and selfish for nothing, before ultimately coming back to him in a very emotional and dramatic declaration that he hasn’t given up on Cir and indeed still loves him. While Pharm mutually communicates with Dean that he they need some space to reconsider their relationship after the confrontation with their past selves. They still check in now and then and do confirm that they are not broken up, before ultimately realizing their love is theirs and they don’t need the love of two spirits to want to be together.

In my opinion, the best way to sum up the differences between Book Jon Snow and Show Jon Snow is that Book Jon Snow is the final boss of Waffle House managers, and Show Jon Snow is the poor and stupid soul that tried to start a fight with him {or with one of the other employees}, and was killed by Book Jon Snow with ONE PUNCH!!!!!!!

So you know how Teruteru shouts "Avril Lavigne!" in Danganronpa 2?

In the Despair arc anime when Chiaki uppercuts him, he shouts "Taylor Swift!", but only in the Japanese dub.

The English dub has him just shouting "I regret nothing!"

Part of me thinks that it would've been so much funnier if he really did shout Taylor Swift's name in the English dub. Think about it, when do we ever get to see an anime where the characters mention American pop stars? Humorously I mean.

Penny for your thoughts Funimation.

And before I forget, he mentions Paris Hilton in the PTA.

Parallels Differences

The similarity between the Wall Slam Scene and the Kiss Scene have been pointed out repeatedly.

However, I don't think I have seen anyone talk about how they represent their respective seasons:

Crowley pushes Aziraphale against the wall.

Run away with me.

Crowley pulls Aziraphale towards him.

Stay here on Earth with me.

Miguel O Hara (Across the Spider-Verse) - Extra 1: Genius.

From that point on, you both had an understanding. 

You carried out your assignments diligently and Miguel was never shy with the praise. You would unintentionally crack some new code or discover an upgrade for his systems that really helped in the long run.

You were consistent, driven and you always volunteered for the more tedious missions even when others were a bit skeptical. He found himself relaxing a bit more.

As hard as it was, in the event that anything ever happened to him, he felt secure knowing that you could step up to fill his shoes. It was probably the most calm he felt in years.

“The anomaly on earth 57 has been subdued. I’ve added in my report. Do you need anything else?”

You were just looking at him expectantly, and Miguel stopped for a moment. He’s been trying to work himself to getting closer to you. Learning more about you.

What were cases like that you handled?

How did they develop the program that you’ve so skillfully added into his set up?

Did you have someone waiting for you back home?

Maybe that was the most glaring one.

“I’m okay. I think we covered all the alerts for now. If there are any more readings you’ll be the first to know.”

A coward’s way out.

“I understand. I’m glad I could help.”

You didn’t say anymore, just turned, marching out of there ready for another task or mystery to solve. Miguel ran a hand through his hair.

“You have to actually talk to her if you want to make progress, boss.” Lyla’s teasing tone did not escape him.

“Don’t make me reprogram you.”

“You wouldn’t do that. You love me.”

“Don’t tempt me.”

She made a zipping motion across her lips.

~The Dining Hall~

“I’m telling you, he didn’t yell at me once yesterday.” Peter spoke.

You were in the cafeteria with Peter, Hobby Pavitr and Gwen.

“Maybe he’s on his period.” Hobbie commented.

Gwen and Pavitr bursted out in a fit of laughter and Peter tried to hold his in. You munched on your burger quietly as they went back and forth with possibilities at Miguel’s recent change in mood.

“What do you think (Y/N)?” Gwen asked.

Swallowing, you take a sip of your drink.

“What do I think about Miguel?”

“Yeah, don’t you think he’s a bit of a hardass.” Peter inquires

“I wouldn’t use those exact words. I believe he has a lot on his shoulders. He’s responsible for so many lives. In a sense, he holds himself accountable if anything were to occur. From my perspective he’s an amazing leader. He’s very focused on all his duties. He’s very understanding of my strengths and he doesn’t undermine my intelligence.”

The space went quiet as you continued.

“Although he has a short fuse, I believe it stems from his need to control every situation. He’s worried that if he lowers his guard, then he’ll risk the lives of others. He truly cares about the people under him, even if he doesn’t truly express it often. I hope one day I could be just as amazing as he is. Both physically and intellectually.”

They all just blink, and then a smirk stretches on Hobbie’s lips.

“Navy’s got a crush on the boss.”

“A crush?”

You ask with a tilt of your head.

“You like him. Like how a boy likes a girl.” Patvir says it wistfully, palm on his cheek and Gwen smacks his shoulder with a laugh.

You’re trying to figure out if they’re correct about the assumption. It’s true you do hold a great deal of respect for him.

How could you not?

“Don’t think about it too hard kid.” Peter states.

“You do realize that I’m only a few years younger than you Benjamin.”

“Oooooo! She called you Benjamin, you’re in trouble.” Gwen teases.

Peter persists to apologize and state that the mask is a bit deceiving. You merely smile as they go back and forth commenting how he’s the only one that looks like an old guy in his suit.

The rest of your break is just playful banter.

You spend the better part of the day running through all you can on crushes and how to determine if you have someone that falls into that bracket.

It’s often difficult for you to forget about them even when they aren’t in the room.

You appreciate some aspect of what they do and long to be close, or mirror their values.

It could stem from a deep respect or even admiration.

There’s so much information and you’re a little alarmed at how much it aligns with your views of Miguel.

That afternoon as you’re heading back to work with Miguel, you can’t seem to get it out of your head. The second you step inside, Miguel almost anticipates your arrival.

“I need your help to go through a few of these reports from the last assignment.

“Of course, but first, can I ask you something?”

“Si.”

His eyes are still on the computers, so you aren’t sure if he’s paying attention or not, but you still ask the question.

“Have you ever had a crush on someone?”

He stumbles at the statement, now looking at you.

“Qué..”

“I’ve never truly felt connected to anyone. Not until I joined this society. It’s understandable that I would feel comfortable here. We all share a unique set of skills that are similar in many ways. We’ve all been through different traumas. Yet, out of all the people that I’ve met, both in my universe and yours, the only person I’ve ever really felt connected to is you.”

Miguel is wondering if he’s suffered from a serious blow.

“Is it possible that I might have romantic feelings for you? If so, what am I supposed to do about them? Social norms dictate that we spend time together, find common interests, and plan activities. But all of these are things that I’ve already accomplished with you. How do I get closer? I want to get closer, I want to understand.”

Miguel is quite honestly out of his element. Your straightforward personality is maybe a little too much for him.

“I’m..”

He’s not sure what to say to that.

“Come on big guy, you can do better than that. You’ve been dying for this kind of progress for months.”

Lyla’s sudden appearance and statement are a bit of a shock to you.

“LYLA!”

She’s gone with a laugh just as quickly and his frown deepens.

“For months…You’ve held similar feelings as me for months..”

He hadn’t exactly intended to be outed. Miguel intends to explain, but now you won’t look at him, and you take a step back.

“Did you keep it to yourself because you knew how difficult it would be to have a relationship with someone like me?”

It’s apparent that you’ve completely misunderstood.

“You're wrong.”

You look up.

“I’m not any better than you in this field. What I do, leading this organization, makes sense to me. Relationships don’t.”

His eyes shift and suddenly you feel foolish for just jumping to conclusions.

“It’s easier to stay focused on work, that way no one gets hurt.”

“That’s very lonely. “

He knows. But he’s used to it.

“Would you at least consider giving it a try?”

You look so hopeful and he feels it tug at his heart.

“I-I’ll try to be more normal. I’ve gotten better at physical contact. If we take small steps in no time I’ll be-”

“No. Don’t change anything about yourself.”

Your gaze softens at his words. He takes a step forward. Not close enough to touch, just enough that you can see him, feel him.

“I do want to try, but you shouldn’t have to compromise for anyone. Whatever you’re comfortable with, that’s what we’ll do. I’m not in a rush. “

You can’t believe it. It’s almost like he was put on this earth just for you.

“Are you sure..”

“I’m positive.”

You’re almost tearing up, and he just reaches out a hand, brushing his finger against your cheek. You don’t pull away or flinch.

The contact brings warmth.

The kind you never knew you needed until now.

Part Two of TBNW series similarities and differences with UWMA regarding their leads

Part 2: Cirrus vs Dean(I’m also specifically looking at TBNW series plot when compared Cir and Dean. Not the novel)

Similarities:

- Both very mature and intelligent. Appearing cold and closed off to most while being genuinely sweet and playful deep down.

- both are incurably whipped for their partners/soulmates. Being very protective and possessive over them.

- (to my knowledge) both are business faculty

- both are roughly 2-3 years older than their partners

-both have been obsessed with someone for years(in two very different ways)

-though being very popular at schools, both don’t have many people they consider close friends.

-both older brothers who were raised for the most part separately from their siblings(yet still are protective of them and love them in their own way)

-both have strained relationships with their fathers(even though their fathers still respect who they are as people support them and their relationships)

- both feel immense guilt and the reason for any kind of pain their partners go through.

- both burden themselves with the actions of others and blame themselves before anybody else

- both have a bestie since childhood who are kinda accidentally the best wingmen.

-both pride themselves on being chauffeur for their partners

-both secretly always planning for the future.

-Giving and receiving emotionally significant keepsakes

- both are BIG FANS of physical touch when it comes to who they love ❤️

Differences:(note that I love both these characters and I’m not judging one to be better… okay maybe in moral stance, but only in objectively moral stance!)

Cir is much more hesitant when it comes to pursuing Phu due to him fearing he’s putting Phu at risk if he’s near him. Sure when we first meet him he’s pulling out all the stops, but that was after like 4-5 years of… let’s say admiring from a far. While Dean sees Pharm from across a pool ONCE, and as soon as he learns his name, he is so keen on approaching him in public, getting to know him personally, stating flat out he’s single. You know, the things you normally do when you wanna date someone, but slightly more intense.

Cir is more dismissive and cold to others as a trauma response, feeling that shutting off emotions and not letting people in will be easier because he has little sense of self outside the tool his mom wants him to be and his feeling for Phu. While Dean does also come off as cold, he’s more strict (and grumpy according to Win) than flat out dismissive. He presents himself as serious and responsible as president of the swim club, but he mostly does this to mask his awkwardness around others and his social anxiety.

Cir has to somewhat prove himself more to Phu’s loved ones, because (I believe) they are aware of Phu’s abandonment issues and inferiority complex. While Pharm’s loved ones either immediately accept Dean or actively push for the two of them to be together.

Cir’s mother is a vindictive narcissist who views her son as less than human and more of a reminder of the man who refused to give her what she wanted. While Dean’s mother is a lovely compassionate person who loves her children, but who just couldn’t be there for him while growing up due to her being first too young and then Dean refusing to leave the woman who predominantly raised him all alone.

Cir is rather resentful towards his father for abandoning him and hardly standing up to his ex wife, even though he does understand that his dad still cares and he is great full for him taking good care of his younger brother. Dean however is just not close to his father due to not being raised by him and because his parents are usually away for work. But they also were both raised by Dean’s paternal grandmother and actually quite similar to each other. Which causes them to butt heads a lot when they’re together, yet he also appreciates his father for accepting him and his relationship.

Cir stays close to his younger brother despite being separated and justifies putting up with his mother’s abuse by believing he’s protecting him, which eventually leads to Zone desiring to sacrifice for his older brother and care more about his happiness than his own. Dean however takes awhile to genuinely form a close connection with his younger siblings and presents himself more as a authority figure because he still loves and cares for them yet feels as the older brother he has failed in some way. It’s not until Pharm meets his sister and points out he unintentionally avoids his siblings that he realizes how much his siblings admire him and want to be a part of his life as well. He later works to bond with his siblings and becomes a little more laid back and vulnerable around them.

Though Cir’s friends are supportive of him pursuing Phu and his relationship with him, they are more baffled and confused at Cir’s sudden ambition to be with someone. Yet they’re still very happy for him because Cir finally seems to have a reason to keep going and genuinely seems better with Phu. While Dean’s friends are supper supportive of his relationship with Pharm, they also are incredibly amused by the concept of someone as serious as Dean dating anyone(let alone a kind and bashful little cinnamon roll like Pharm). So they take any opportunity to mess with him and make him act all jealous and possessive. But they’re still very happy that he’s actually being less uptight and (according to Win) and seems to have found what he’s been looking for.

Cir seldom intentionally makes Phu flustered, and is more hesitant when it comes to engaging in very intimate actions with Phu, and when he does he more than not has to hold himself back from going too far too fast because never truly knows whether Phu wants it as well. While Dean LOVES teasing Pharm, and is not afraid to initiate physical touch. But (at least in the series) he aways makes sure that Pharm is comfortable with what they’re doing, reading his body language etc. and the one time he gets too handsy with Pharm before he’s ready, he immediately stops, apologizes and promises to not do it again.

Cir is terrible at being fully honest with Phu and fails to realize how keeping up his lie would emotionally affect Phu and how bad the future fallout would be the longer he waits. While Dean is for the most part entirely honest and sincere with Pharm about everything, but since he also knows that more Pharm finds out, the more likely it is that his condition comes to fruition, he makes sure Pharm genuinely wants to know the truth and decides for himself when and how much of the truth he wants to know.

Cir is more of a soft doting puppy when it comes to Phu’s condition at any given point. He gets more worried and protective about Phu’s health than even Phu does, and he’s much more likely to forget about taking care of himself than he is taking care of Phu. He basically becomes this when Phu is not feeling well 😥🥺. Meanwhile Dean become both this 😟 and this 😠 whenever Pharm isn’t doing okay. Dean is very keen and stubborn on making sure is completely okay and won’t let Pharm dismiss it like it’s nothing. But he also doesn’t just try to prevent Pharm from essential emotions, but instead stays with him through it all and makes him share the pain Pharm feels.

Cir seems let Phu do the planning when it comes to what they do when they’re together, he’s just happy to be with him. While Dean does seem to like activity based dates/romantic getaways(ex. Friend’s restaurant, aquarium, Christmas lights, temple, river rafts and waterfalls, eventually beach etc.)

Cir promises Phu that he would never leave him. While Dean promised he wouldn't stop searching until he found who he was looking for(Pharm)
