#but i adore him in the musical

[the-kneesbees]

I think the reason I love darry so much in the musical is cause he sounds less like pony's dad and more like his older brother who's raising him..yk.

I love Penelope she endured Odysseus yapping and she went "don't you fucking dare steal my autonomy for me I decide if I accept your war crimes and I've already decided" icon. Ithaca is lucky to have her

“I think he believed his beauty was too important to tamper with. He was always in the mirror, primping on his splendid image, and putting perfect waves into his long black hair with a little crimping machine. He used Pantene products, and whenever i smelled them, for years afterward, I remembered being buried in his hair.”

~ Pamela Des Barres on jimmy page (“I’m with the band”)

i mean look how magnificent his hair looks in these photos he really was such a little beauty queen

Rewatching ride the cyclone and omfg I cannot sit through Constance's speech without breaking down in tears.

I spend the majority of my favourite song (sugar cloud) sobbing cause of that speech. She did not need to hit me so hard in my feels man.

I need "Ithaca's waiting~, my kingdom is waiting~

PENELOPE'S WAITING~ For me!"

Injected into my goddamn veins. I don't even have a lover but as soon as you hear that lyric, you just fucking MISS HER.

Penelope is just a name at this point. We've heard it said before (still with extreme longing but that's a different ramble) but we as the audience of this musical have not met her yet. But you feel that excitement and utter joy at the thought of seeing her once more. Joy for this woman we don't know. Just how he says it tells you that this man would do anything ("horrendous horrifying actions" type of anything) to see her again and keep her safe/happy. You just sit there loving her just as much. Love that he would kill you for even having

With the first two lines, it's his men echoing his sentiment: Excitement to go home. But at Penelope, it's ALL those voices together with no echo. Penelope isn't waiting for them like their homeland is, they don't feel that way for her. But Odysseus' adoration is so profound that it needs multiple voices to even release it. Even the fact that the chorus is silent at "for me" is telling you that the fact that she's waiting is what's most important. PENELOPE IS HIS HOME. He's "just a man, She's everything" type of adoration!!!!!! He truly would trade the world to see his son and wife!!!

Even with how he says "Full Speed Ahead" after that kind of drifts off like he's already daydreaming about it and I'm just a fucking MESS. He daydreams in the Odyssey already and I love it so much.

I LISTEN TO THESE PARTS OVER AND OVER! IT IS WHAT REVIVES ME!

Six Hundred Strike is a masterclass of musical storytelling and i cannot get over people not liking it or saying it’s too confusing to follow

first of all, it’s not the first moment in EPIC where you need to listen to small clues in the music or else seek out the animatics to envision what’s going on! think the fight in Done For for example. also, when i first listened to The Horse and the Infant i was so confused, i think there is a lot packed into these songs so the more you listen to it the more you’ll be able to pick up on the narrative hints within the lyrics and music

i adore Six Hundred Strike. the beginning mashup of Aeolus’s motif to signify the wind bag opening transitioning into the ‘six hundred men’ from Full Speed Ahead, a line that Odysseus invokes at the start of Dangerous without the echo. The crew are his instrument now as they were Eurylochus’s, he is empowered by them and their loss. The musical representation of Odysseus fighting for every single person he’s lost is so narratively satisfying. Then you have the Different Beast motif signalling Odysseus is going to be cruel, the sound effects of him grabbing the trident and wielding it, Odysseus throwing all of Poseidon’s ‘wisdom’ back at him while Poseidon screams ‘Monster’ to show that the transition is complete, man has become monster, and it is the only way he can make it home. Odysseus tried, for the final time, to forgive, to get Poseidon to forgive, and it didn’t work, so he gave in.

I think it’s definitely not as clear cut plot-wise as some of the other songs, but it’s all there if you listen for it! the Aeolus motif when he’s using the storm, the trident noises etc. I also feel like it’s okay if you don’t imagine Odysseus fighting in the exact way Jay imagines it, as long as the basic narrative of ‘Odysseus uses the storm to fight Poseidon and then tortures him to surrender’ is there you can envision the fight however you want and it still fits perfectly with the story!
