for paradise, I'm thinking of making it hermitcraft
Athena will be pearl in evo and the snippits of other songs will be lines referencing the different people and groups in evo, property Police, netty's treehouse, Taurus Republic, the Mafia, bigbs cookie house, etc
Odysseus is grian, he went watcher then ended up on hermitcraft knowing the dangers of the watchers and wanting to go back to help evo escape
Calypso will be mumbo, sometimes x, keeping grian in hermitcraft, not wanting him to leave, not wanting him in danger but not understanding his situation
Apollo and Hephaestus though??? They did not want to be there, they just wanted it overwith. "Here's an argument, oh no you disagree, release him sure idc" and that's honestly so iconic of them. They just want her to stop bothering them.
Did Odysseus cry out for Athena just once, or has he been crying out to her constantly, begging and pleading for her to help him for the last seven years, and she's only just now listening?
BY INSERTING ODYSSEUS’S MENTAL BREAKDOWN AND HIS SUICIDAL THOUGHTS JAY HAS ACTUALLY MADE LOVE IN PARADISE SO MUCH MORE ANGSTY OMG???
The dissociation—Odysseus was in no shape to carry on. Jay didn’t even need to bring up anything abt s.a. that happened on the island—just a simple comparison between the behaviors of Odysseus when he arrived and that of Odysseus seven years later: just look what happened on this island that caused him to breakdown so thoroughly. This is so perfectly done.
God, love in paradise made me feel sick to my stomach in ways you couldn't imagine. Like my god, I have never been so scared for Odysseus than in that moment- and don't get me started of Calypso she gave me chills.
The way that she pointedly ignored Odysseus words when he told her Penelope was his wife, and how she blatantly ignored his rejections like he was a cute animal that didn't know any better. My god, I truly think she is the scariest god in this musical and fully encompass how terrifying they can be for a mortal who can't fight back.
Like my god just let him go back home!!!!! He doesn't deserve this!!!!!
Calypso really admits to Odysseus he is trapped there with her cause of her spell, and expects him to be happy about it?? Girl- literally the first thing you heard him say, in his sleep mind you- was his wife’s name-
Progress on my "Love in Paradise" Animatic
Still feels rough and needs more touch ups before i begin sketching the second half of it, but it's coming along!!! for a first animatic, this is coming along alright :3
Hope you guys enjoy it and look forward to the full thing! I'm really trying to make every scene it's own standalone painting in terms of composition and how well it looks. like if you paused at any part of it, it'd be wallpaper worthy
