“We’ve been away from home from about twelve years or so”

Jorge writing your mistakes into your own canon is so funny I love it

IM GOING INSANE OVER THIS SAGA H O L Y S H I T

[spineless-lobster]

Honestly I’m kind of obsessed with antinous he’s got beef with a kid and he’s like “your mom’s a whore your dad’s a deadbeat and I’m gonna beat the shit out of you give me your lunch money nerd” like get it together man that’s so embarrassing

[guest-1-2-3]

calypso’s little :O was the highlight of my watching experience

[branches-and-thorns]

Listening to EPIC on shuffle liveblog

1:35pm: we’re on Ruthlessness! It’s a vibe I’m enjoying it.

1:38pm: …FULL SPEED AHEAD! Just got asked what I’m laughing at, oh boys you are not getting home. And an alarm just went off and paused the music like that was the source—

1:43pm: MY GOODBYE! Honestly one of my favourite songs. I think I should draw it at some point. I have several OC-related thoughts about it. Turning it up a little bit, completely ignoring the outside world :>

1:46pm: Just a Man! Spotify’s giving me all the songs I associate with OCs and frankly I’m not mad. And god this version sounds so more tragic than the original. Idk if that’s the retrospect or the singing tho. Also I swear I can hear roaring at one point?

1:49pm: STORRRRRRRRRRRRM!

1:52pm: MONSTER MY BELOVED!! So this song has BIG oc associations for me but the much funnier story is that I had my pre-op appointment right after this saga came out and in an attempt to deal with blood drawing I fucking BLARED this song through my headphones and it actually worked and frankly there is no bigger mood rn. Hands down favourite song of the show.

1:55pm: THE UNDERWORLD! THE MUSIC! I AM VIBING SO MUCH RN! Okay now it’s on the mom bit and I’m just glancing my own mum and…emotions. OKAY BACK TO MUSICCCC

2pm: THUNDER BRINGERRRRRRR!!! This will be two minutes of vibing and the rest will be screaming internally NO. OKAY I AM SCREAMING NOW. WHY IS THIS SONG SO EMOTIONAL I CANT. God this ending music makes me wanna cry. These characters are not real why am I like this.

2:05pm: NO LONGER YOU ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME. SEE I LOVE THIS SONG BUT LIKE NOT NOW IM STILL DEALING WITH THE PROPHESIED EVENTS PLEASE. OH I CAN ACTUALLY HEAR THE SCYLLA AND SIREN SONG IM SO DONE RN

2:08PM: OH THAT WAS A SQUELCH THIS IS DIFFERENT BEAST OHHHHHHHHHH. Okay I’m having character thoughts putting a pin in that for after the live-blogging.

2:12PM: WELCOME CIRCE ITS THERE ARE OTHER WAYS! God this song is such a vibe. God she’s such a vibe. And look more character associations! Funny story I was listening to this song while drawing a masquerade and the music in the first half really reminds me of a dance. The tapping beat. Idk how to explain it.

2:18PM: DONE FORRRRRRR!!!! I love this one sm I just. CIRCE. THE SINGING. THE MUSIC. EVERYTHING. I AM IN HEAVEN RN

2:20PM: WARRIOR OF THE MIND! This is just Girls time now I love them sm. GOD Athena’s singing in this is AMAZING. And what is that beat it sounds like a heartbeat. Actually it sounds like a heartbeat a lot what’s with that is that just me.

AND IM CUTTING IT THERE SINCE THE WIFI IS NOW BACK ON

THANKS FOR COMING THIS WAS FUN

[racc00ning]

I FORGOT ABOUT THE STREAM SWAP AND GOT SO SCARED THAT THE STREAM GOT TAKEN DOWN AGAIN 😭

[awesome-shoes-with-wings]

Vengeance Saga! Liveblogging, I guess??

Gotta liveblog this to the best of my ability to get some excited energy out.

"Not Sorry for Loving You"

Those notes... those vocals... shivers

Calypso, you sad pathetic lowkey abusive mess of a goddess... I'm mad but I also wanna pay for your therapy

She's so confused about what 'Love' actually means, but... I mean, it makes sense for her.

Odysseus saying 'I love you' could mean so many things. Did he learn to "love" her within the 7 years he lived with her? Is he just trying to give her at least some sort of comfort before he leaves? Is he just trying to get her to stop talking? Up to the interpretations for now, I suppose.

"Dangerous"

The Full Speed Ahead Reprise... the men not answering. Jorge when I catch you Jorge-

all you have to do is not open this bag <- Hermes, that's not funny! That's TRAUMA-

Oh yes, this song is being put on repeat for the next week at least.

IT'S GONNA BE DANGEROUS, MY FRIEND

I don't want this song to end

KEep YoUr FRieNDs clOSE AAAHHHH

DANGER IS MY FRIEND

This is my favourite song and I know it's only the second one but I'm serious

"I'm not the one who fought for you" 😢 😭

I have no self-control, I'm re-listening

No Mortal can pass Poseidon's storm-

"Charybdis"

Oooh I love this beginning it's so cinematic it's like I'm watching a movie

I love the background wind noises here. Makes Charybdis feel huge, even without the visuals

All that water will destroy yooou!

oohh he sees Ithaca!!! Nothing bad will happen now, right!?

"Get in the Water"

There you are.... coward.

I love the delivery of these lines so much

I'm just in silent shock as I listen

Not much to say about this song

"Maybe you could learn to forgive?"

Poseidon, bro, calm down bro. Poseidon, bro. POSEIDON-

I actually have so many thoughts about Poseidon's 'Ruthlessness' mindset but I'll talk about that some other time.

Oohh the ending with Odysseus being drowned (I'm assuming?) and all the vocals of his loved ones is so good.

"Six Hundred Strike"

Another cinematic instrument. Love it.

Six Hundred Men!?? Wait... I have a theory. Ghosts of the 600 men??

GHOSTS? Are they!? I need to see the visuals after this.

Yo did Odysseus and the alleged ghost squad just take down Poseidon? Aight, good for you.

hehehehe Poseidon got Diomedes'ed by the nerd Odysseus.

[lgbtqforeverything]

GET IN THE WATER LETS FUCKING GO

[sweetspiraling]

WATCHHH OUTT IM BOUTA HAVE MY ODYSSEUS MOMENTTTT

[apricotthevixen]

ODYSSEUS YOU BITCH.

YOU DICK.

(this saga omg. I love it)

[the-golden-dragoness]

So now that the thunder saga is out we can reflect on the foreshadowing Tiresias shared in No Longer You

"I see a song of past romance (siren song) I see the sacrifice of men (scylla), I see portrayals of betrayal and a brother’s final stand (mutiny). I see you on the brink of death (the end of Thunderbringer), I see you draw your final breath, I see a man who gets to make it home alive. But it's no longer you."

Jorge also revealed part of the chorus at the end of No Longer You: “siren song, Scylla throat, mutiny, lightning bolt” The rest also contains spoilers so he hasn’t revealed that yet!
