Whether you say “Trap” or “Chop“, these Artists put the spotlight on the lifestyle, delivered a new sound that quickly built a movement, and gained recognition in various parts of the world. Ymo G is one of those Artists, and he has been consistent with his music from the beginning, with a fanbase that continues to grow. He takes the…

THE VENGEANCE SAGA

🌊 SPOILERS AHEAD 🌊

PLUS, MENTIONS OF S.A.

🔱 NOT SORRY FOR LOVING YOU

Even though Calypso’s actions infuriate me, her actress’ voice (Barbara Wangui) is incredible and so compelling. She sounds like a lotus flower, and just that notion is marvelous, now that I say that. She is the island of the lotus eaters, and I do really like that she isn’t blindly in love with Odysseus.

She can see she hurt him, but she still believes she was in the right. She’s sorry she did all she did, but she wouldn’t take a single moment back. Calypso only admits she’s wrong for “pushing” him. This allusion only shows that she regrets the pain she caused him when she forced him into bed with her, for several years. But does she regret the action?

It’s so well written, an apologist song to make excuses for her. But still, it’s only meant to toy with your emotions. And yet, she doesn’t play the “one song character”, the “tiny plot point”. Jorge gave her pain, and anguish, and loss. He made her seem human, while still holding the godlike apathy and blamelessness.

🔱 DANGEROUS

And onto my favorite song, for the reason alone that it’s a crazy banger with HERMES IN IT! I knew half of this song when it came out, and can lip sync this in my sleep. By the gods, it’s incredible.

Ahem. Right, the analysis. Okay.

Odysseus’ first four of lament in the beginning hurt extra hard when the silence plays out. The crew would have responded… had they lived.

(Anyone else getting nostalgia for last winter from this?? How fast time goes! We have one saga left, and— shoot, right. Ahem ahem.)

And then, the beloved Trickster Lord comes whirling into frame. Dancing. I can just FEEL the light-up floor, the disco ball… you’d think he and Hera would be good friends, huh?

This gives us a little glimpse into Hermes’ lordly self. That he is great with instructions, that he’s almost prophetic with them. He’s not specific, he’s vague, but looking back, you can only go, “OHHHH!” Hermes is a cunning god, and aside from that, he lifts Odysseus’ spirits. He really is Odysseus’ friend.

And then the parallels. To Wouldn’t You Like, to Keep Your Friends Close. Ouch. No, wow. No, scratch that— both.

It makes me wonder if Odysseus “Danger is my middle name” of Ithaca will ever figure out that Athena rooted for him, in the end. Makes me wonder if we’ll hear from Athena again.

🔱 CHARYBDIS

GYATT DAMN. TALK ABOUT INCREDIBLE?!

THIS might be my favorite song, for the typical reasons. You can hear the actions, and when I watched the animatics, it only showed me what I pictured. Perfectly portrayed.

I avoided spoilers for this song, not knowing how good it would be. Damn, am I glad.

Storm parallels, of course. And then, the sheer terror and turn of relief, when suddenly you realize he’s not as close as he thought he was. One last obstacle.

Love the fact that when he sings, “So if you don’t have much to say,” you realize Charybdis won’t be singing. I adored that. This song shows off how smart Odysseus really is.

🔱 GET IN THE WATER

This song is just plain terrifying. It’s scary. It’s cold.

The screaming shakes me to my core. At first, I hadn’t been fully on board (haha) with the choice of Poseidon’s voice actor, and then I took a few more listens to Ruthlessness, and reevaluated that thought. Besides that, he’s quite literally perfect for this song, specifically.

Let me tell you that Steven Rodriguez understood the assignment when he was told to say, “I can’t,” “No,” and “Ruthlessness is … mercy upon … ourselves … DIE!”

Realizing that the line about “gouging [his] son’s eyes” is a cheeky revenge for Polyphemus is incredible. You know what’s funny? Poseidon and Odysseus aren’t so different from each other.

Especially now.

Besides that, oh god, the memories of his loved ones singing into his “final moments” is painful. Thought we’d heard the last of Polites, Jorge? REMEMBER, JORGE?

It’s a double entendre, too. They’re singing to him, telling him to keep going, and yet, they’re telling him that they’re waiting for him, too. Now… some for better, and some for worse.

Will they forgive him the same way he’s forgotten how to do, when he dies?

🔱 SIX HUNDRED STRIKE

Aka, Poseidon discovers the indomitable human spirit.

Let me tell you, hearing the guitar made me gasp. Missed that riff, in all its glory and power, let me tell you. Plus, the wind bag’s theme, too!

This is a boss battle. That’s it. I swear to god, put the instrumental of this banger in Hades by Supergiant.

The screaming in this really made the song. The voice acting. The change of tone. The change of Odysseus’ tone. He’s never been afraid to talk back to gods, has he?

I was only miffed that there was blood on the trident in the animation, and not ichor. But that’s what you get when you’ve been devoted to Greek mythology all of your life, you become an accuracy snob. All in all though, I ADORED that animation. Like… holy shit. Holy FUCKING SHIT!!!

Then, the stabbing and gasping. Poseidon attempting to make him feel bad, second-guess himself, by screaming and calling him a monster.

“Look what you’ve turned me into! Look what we’ve become!” Odysseus KNOWS that he and Poseidon are similar. Fathers willing to defend their honor, and the honor of their sons. However, Poseidon was always defending his own honor, and Odysseus was always protecting the lives of those involved.

And the CHOKING NOISES from POSEIDON??

“After everything you’ve done… how will you sleep at night?”

“Next to my wife.”

AND I GASPED. AND I CHEERED!!!!!!!!!!!

On a much more hilarious note, I saw @justvea18 post a version of this meme as Poseidon. Was giggling my ass off. Go check it out, please.

MERLIN Rewatch: 5x07 A LESSON IN VENGEANCE

pov: You get to hear bellara threaten venatori members in the most aggressive way possible before she kills them, and then she's smiling at you like sunshine again :)

The score for Veilguard is actually so cool, because obviously it's a departure from the originating themes that were loosely shared between DAO and DA2, but it really stands against the sweeping orchestrals and pounding drums that drove you in Inquisition (perhaps more than the story itself was driving anything). In comparison, Veilguard leans much more toward synths, electric instruments, and there's even a track with western inspired strings and a harmonica (and it SLAPS). It's varied and reads as more modern, but also carries with it this cacophonous sense of apocalypse as well as, perhaps, presenting an idea that this world is moving on and forward, that I think fits very well thematically and musically

Thinking about how Mike must have met the doctor and the brig just after spearhead from space since he was tasked with cleanup, but also that vengeance of the stones must also have taken place right after spearhead which is really funny because it’s like. Mike gets into UNIT by getting kidnapped and tortured by aliens, sees some pretty wild shit after having thought UNIT was maybe a bit silly the way Liz did at first too, still wants to join UNIT afterwards, and then is immediately put on cleanup duty.

Mike in the early 70s*, surrounded by disintegrated plastic, mounds of paperwork, and a list of phone calls to angry government types as long as his arm: this is not what I signed up for :/

But also it means that Mike and Liz could conceivably have met and in fact probably did. Im of the opinion that unit is really not a large organisation and they probably ran into each other a lot

Ougghh drew Bellara from memory like she’s living in the wrinkles of my brain. Adorably burned into my retinas.

[thedragonagelesbian]

[winchesternova-k]

i think nadia’s relationship with taash has been my favourite of the show so far.

this ep also makes it sound like they might have met through the lords of fortune so maybe nadia is going to be our contact in game? i was rlly hoping for hollix but i’d be v happy w both them and nadia. i’d love to see more of taash’s relationship w her, whether in the podcast or in veilguard :)

[rosykims]

unpopular opinion but im soooooo glad theyre still letting solas do villain shit currently. much love to pookie but i do think there should be the very real risk of him being guillotined by a righteous mob by the end of all this <3 character building and whatnot
