Epic!Hera having a Groovy 70/80's aesthetic is something i really love, since i'm used to seen her being despicted as a very regal goddess, so seen her dancing and posing in the animatic of God Games was a pretty funny and original to me.

Crazy thing is that is not even the first time i see Hera with this type of vibe, since Destripando la Historia used the song "Gimme! Gimme! Gimme!" by ABBA as inspiration for Hera's song, wich was released in 1979 and is very catchy and upbeat song. I guess musicians just read about Hera and somehow get very Grooby vibes from her.

I cannot WAIT to see your design for Penelope. We caught a glimpse of her in "There Are Other Ways" but I wanna see her in all her glory. If you've drawn a full thing of her before I haven't seen it yet so I'm super eager.

Sneak peak of an unfinished shot!

I headcannon that Zeus thought Athena was going to try to usurp him.

She comes to ask him to undo his latest decree, and if he does it looks like he's yielding to her. So he sets up what's supposed to be an impossible challenge.

Aphrodite hates Athena, Ares hates Athena, Hera hates Athena and Odysseus.

And then she wins. These other gods are all agreeing with her over him and that's dangerous. He thinks he's moments away from becoming his father.

So a show of force was necessary, in his mind, to remind everyone who's in charge here. "Show them I'm the judgment call, the one who makes the kingdom fall"

He sees her as a threat and a Warrior, using her previous connection to Odysseus as an excuse to fight him. His cleverest, most dangerous child who has never agreed with his methods was finally going to kill him.

So he struck her into the ground. True nature will be revealed, right? Wrong.

She looks up at Zeus and begs, something no god ever does, begs that he won't kill her friend. And suddenly she looks more like his daughter than she does like a threat. Suddenly shame turns to regret.

Another thing a god is never supposed to do.

okay but like when Eurylochus said "but we'll die" in thunder bringer he wasn't begging for life (he said it himself, for a while now has he not believed they'd get home so that's why he's done what he's done, he hasn't explicitly said he wants to die but its pretty clear he doesn't mind dying at this point) or trying to reason with Odysseus because he knew exactly who Odysseus was going to choose. If he was going to die, he wanted to hear Odysseus admit that he was about to kill his entire crew on purpose with full knowledge. I draw to this conclusion from Mutiny:

"Tell me you did not know that would happen/ Tell me you didn't know how that would end"

he was making sure that Ody admitted that he has thought this through, and knows what the consequences of his actions are gonna be. no lying to anymore Gods on why he did what he did, no lying to Eurylochus's waiting wife that "he had no choice", because he has. He just doesn't like the fact he can chose.

With Poseidon killing his crew, he could argue that he had nothing to do with it, that he didn't know that it would happen and I think Eurylochus being the first person to talk in Mutiny and to say that, suggests that its what Odysseus had told the remainder of the crew after Poseidon. He had no idea that it would happen (didn't know that the Cyclops was a kid of Poseidon and telling his name and letting him live would doom the crew) and had no idea how it could've ended (Poseidon killing the crew in result) all to protect Odysseus's conscience.

Same with the infant, it wasn't much of a choice, let the baby live and protect his conscience, or doom his entire kingdom, crew and future. He could've argued that he was taking orders from Zeus and that he couldn't ignore the king of the gods. Just a Man is literally that. He's just a man, he's not a god, just taking orders from one, he had no power in this situation and didn't get a choice.

But now he has. and Eurylochus is going to make him admit it so everyone knows, so that Odysseus never forgets that he had a choice.

and Odysseus grants that wish, it isn't a coincidence that that's Eurylochus's last words, in his life and in the show, in Odysseus granting him his wish, he can finally die in peace. And Odysseus grants the wish because he is looking right at them as they die, he sees the light leave their eyes; he can't lie about this one and he won't. That's the last thing Eurylochus ever said to him, and the guilt would eat him alive if he lied about what happened.

No protecting your conscience now Ody, about time you took accountability for all the deaths that happened on this journey.

Look I'm just saying that if I was Odysseus and I just found out that my right hand man, the only saving grace of my DUMBASS crew opened the wind bag and destroyed all of our progress and threw us into Poseidon's clutches who then proceeded to kill hundreds of men!!!

I'd have let him die too!

And that's not brining up all the dumb shit the crew did like trusting Circe and then killing Apollo's cattle KNOWINGLY, the last part being spearheaded by said right hand man. I'm just saying Odysseus cut his losses there.

Perimedes after Thunder Bringer:

[rogueinkglitch]

Mutiny/Thunder Bringer really has the crew be like:

“We don’t trust you we are mutinying you are not the captain any more”

*makes one mistake*

“Ok but ur still going to take the fall for us right?? No hard feelings??”

[wylldebee]

Odysseus: Hoe don't do it Eurylochus: *Kills the cows* *Thunder Bringer starts playing from the sky* Odysseus: Oh my gods

[greekpersphonecora]

So while listening to thunder bringer I decided to design Zeus.

I made othe color tests too

I can't not see this whenever I hear that part of the song, I'm sorry

I could be wrong, but when Athena gets beat up in god games and you see the other gods she argued with reacting, you didn't see Hephaestus. I might have missed him but if he really was gone, I headcannon he left as soon as Athena "beat" him. Hera threw him off mount Olympus as soon as he was born. He has no love for his mother or father and knows they have no love for their children. Athena isn't even Hera's. He knew how the conflict was going to end before it even started and he couldn't stand to watch it.

I have made my Thunderbringer AMV, and it's now Mori's time to shine as Zeus. Chuuya's crew has just mutinied and killed Higuchi's beloved cattle. Now Mori has arrived to make Chuuya choose between the lives of his crew or himself.
