Actually very fun to think of trench coat au fusion saying things only a kid would lol

Imagine monoma yapping on about how much class A sucks or something and Katzuku goes "hey that's mean :/" so sincerely and earnestly, monoma actually apologizes and has to look inward like "am I... mean? Is that who I've become??"

I sometimes think people legitimately don't realize that Poseidon is wrong in Ruthlessness and that he's not even actually being ruthless anyway.

In Ruthlessness, Odysseus and the crew of his main ship manage to get away because, rather than sinking the entire fleet in one go, Poseidon purposefully saves them for last so he can force Odysseus to watch him sink the rest of the fleet. This is not being ruthless. This is being sadistic and cruel, which is admittedly a mistake a lot of villains make.

Odysseus makes the same mistake later in Different Beasts, though in this case it turns the crew against him. Not only because of him being needlessly cruel in the way he ordered the sirens killed, but he was so busy going as hard as he could on "Becoming the Monster(TM)" that as some have pointed out, he never considered trying to find a way to protect his crew from Scylla, like, as many have pointed out, keeping some of them alive to use as bait for her or something.

Polities isn't entirely right either, since being too trusting is also not good, which the events of the song Open Arms hinted at. But I think the real answer is somewhere in the middle.

Knowing when to be kind/merciful and when to be actually ruthless without being cruel. Of course whether Odysseus actually manages to figure that out by the end of the musical remains to be seen. But I'm mostly saying this because a lot of fans seem to talk about Poseidon's little catch phrase like it's the actual over all message of Epic, when Mutiny kind of shows that it very likely isn't.

Also, another reason why Poseidon is wrong, is that while you can argue about whether Odysseus was actually being merciful to Polyphemus to begin with, Odysseus's real mistake during the Cyclops Saga was telling him his real name, just like in the original Odyssey.

some thoughts on the beef...

now, i will preface this by the admission: i did my masters thesis on kendrick lamar.

so the bias runs deep. from the moment in 2013 when i first listened to bitch, don't kill my vibe and realised he'd perfectly encapsulated the idea of get your noise away from me, kendrick became a key figure for me. my entire adolescence was characterised by the releases of to pimp a butterfly and DAMN.

i was born and raised christian, but i only started to fully explore that after listening to faith.

i was born and raised in an egyptian household, but i only started to fully identify with what that means after complexion.

my highschool teacher once said to us that there will be no amount of growth in a time period unlike from your 18th to your 21st. and i can testify this. DAMN came out when i turned 18. mr morale and the big steppers came out after i finished being 21.

and, as always, kendrick knew what i needed. that a song about the lifelong affects of trauma and dealing with grief, with pain, with shame. i remember listening to mother i sober for the first time and bursting into tears on my bedroom floor because i never thought he would actually go where i needed him the most.

and now, we're here. that dr*ke is a pedophile. i won't censor that word, but i will censor his name. his artist name deserves no more respect. if anything, it should be that aubrey is a pedophile. and whilst these allegations still need to be proved to be true with evidence, i think it's worth noting something.

kendrick's suffered from the affects of abuse. why would he make light of it and throw them around so carelessly?

if anything, we've seen how nothing he does is careless. everything is so carefully thought out, so methodically thought out with even the most minute details being considered with the utmost deliberation.

aside from that, there's too much pain for that to be the case.

this could've been a good example of the sport. it's what it started out as. it's not worth going through all the subtle disses kendrick has dished out in his career. if anything, his pulitzer prize should be enough proof that a rap diss could remain as is; a rap diss.

but this wasn't a mere rap diss. this was mr morale in action and providing a real life example of the stories and themes he explores in his songs. the affects of unchecked corruption within the self. the affects of generational trauma and how the cycle continues - unless you stop and look in the mirror.

we should've known

how a son was finally shown

like the apple with the bruise

it's all coming loose

treat the world like your whore

only for it to reveal

your rotten core

A couple of weeks ago I bothered to spend the time to write out Wukong and Macaque’s leitmotifs because I noticed that they were very similar, differing primarily in that they weren’t identical, but up to a certain point were almost major vs minor versions of each other’s themes (pictured below)

Again, you can tell they’re not identical on paper, but to the ear they sound very similar, and it’s obviously not a coincidence that they start off with the same rhythm. You apparently can’t add more than one video to a post, so I’ll put the Macaque bit that I clipped and just say that I got Wukong’s from the end credits.

The similarities are notable, again, featuring Wukong in a major key and Macaque in minor key. (The version I wrote out is not in the same key as the clip; it was easier to compare them on paper when I wrote them in the sameish key.)

I’m no music analyst, I just took a year of the required colleges courses for music and switched away from it and still have everything ingrained in my head, so there’s not anything in particular I’m trying to say here, I just go bananas for it every time I hear either theme :))

Edit: I drew this out on FireAlpaca and forgot to mention that earlier. It’s not particularly relevant but I do think it’s funny
