Jashtober Day 31 - Loop "When's beat one?" HAPPY HALLOWEEN !!!!!!!

[nyx-thedragon]

Epic fans, i have a question that may be dumb and i may be misunderstanding shit but i am going to ask it nonetheless

In the canon of Epic would calypso know what manipulation is, since she was put on the island "when [she] was young"? because if she doesn't, then the manipulative lyrics in "not sorry for loving you" wouldn't have had malicious intent, because she wouldn't know that what she's saying is wrong.

she's been alone for 100 years, and she was young when she was put on the island, but we don't know how young because she is a goddess. so if she was young enough to have not known/been taught what manipulation is then she wouldn't know that she shouldn't have said what she said to odysseus (my brother also brought up that she probably wouldn't know what consent is either in that case - obviously not trying to dismiss what happened at all, just bringing it up for the sake of the conversation we were having).

now, i am in no way trying to say that what she did was okay and i am not trying to dismiss it in any way; what she did was bad and wrong. but my brother and i were talking about this the other day and i figured i would bring it up somewhere that the rest of the fandom can see it and we can have a conversation about it.

i feel like i'm rambling a bit, but please share your thoughts! i would love to see what other peoples' points of view are on this (calypso is an interesting character to me, at least in the canon of epic).

again, please share your thoughts, whether that's in the replies, or tags when you reblog, or a reblog itself. i want to hear what other people think!

(also, if i'm like, stepping on any toes in any way with what i'm saying/talking about, please let me know - i don't want to upset anyone)

much love to you all, and please remember to take care of yourselves, especially after everything that happened/is happening today <3

OKAY OOKAY I GOT THIS SONG I'VE BEEN LISTENING TO A LOT LATELY CALLED "ship in a bottle" BY FIN ARGUS AND I FEEL LIKE IS SO.. EPIC!ODYSSEUS CODED?? AND ALSO EURYLOCHUS TOO??

ESPECIALLY IN THESE LYRICS

"Sailing on a ship in a bottle

Anchor all your thoughts to the bottom

Pulling ropes and pulling your head back

To see what is breaking the foremast

You set sail alone, there is no crew

No one on the deck who can help you

This is all your own battle to win

This is your ship and you are the captain

Oh, captain, let's make a deal

Where we both say the things that we both really feel

I feel scared and I'm starting to sink

And I only sink deeper the deeper I think

Oh, captain, oh, captain, deal

Oh, captain, deal, oh, captain, deal, oh

Oh, captain, make up your mind

Before the salt burns your eyes and you run out of time

'Cause you're popping the cork, you get lost in your brain

And you lose touch with all the things that made you feel sane

Oh, captain, oh, captain, deal

Oh, captain, deal, oh, captain, deal, oh"

LIKE TRY TO CONVINCED ME THAT THIS ISN'T JUST THE GHOST OF EURYLOCHUS HAUNTING ODYSSEUS ALIVE!?

So I was looking up polites' name right because epic is my comfort hyperfixation and I know that Polites is Odysseus' best friend and his light and the dude he can cry to but also knowing that Polites means citizens it makes me think that Polites' kindness and support towards Odysseus is representative of his people back in Ithaca, or at least what Odysseus remembers of his people, or wishes they will be like upon his return.

I'm falling down a polites rabbit hole and I will keep folks updated

Interesting facts: This cover was the last video he posted to YouTube under this channel before ST formed. This was also almost a year exactly before the ST YouTube channel was created.

Every single one of my EPIC the Musical ideas literally come up whenever I’m about to go to sleep-

Like I’m about to go to sleep, I’m all comfy and I’m about to close my eyes when my mind goes “Hey, I have an Idea!” So then I’ll write the main synopsis and then pass out. And when I wake up and go on Tumblr my brain is like ‘wtaf did I do-‘

You know what I have come up with so far?!

‘If Gods and Godesses were Superhero’s/Villains/Vigilantes, what would their superpowers be?’

‘The meanings of Greek Names’

‘Poseidon whole Smick of ‘Ruthless is Mercy’ Character Analysis’

‘Perimedes & Elpenor:A tragic love story’

‘Every single character in Epic being Morally Grey’

‘A fucking analysis of Odysseus referring to his Men by Brothers and the Crew finally calling ODy by his actual name-‘

‘Fucking Helluva Boss Seven Rings if Hell and the fucking Sins-‘

Yes all of these are in my drafts and they are all WIP’S. My brain during Nighttime has so many ideas and my brain during the day is fucking dead.

No context but I got So distracted. I did not set out to do All That today. I don't even know where the fuck I am anymore. It was all an impulse decision and I didn't even write down the second distraction because it was So Strong. In my mind. But then a second distraction hit my two braincells. I have no idea whwre I am anymore. I was just gonna whip up a shitpost doodle and then go back to my main project. I never even got to the shitpost doodle. 🧍

Yayyy getting new writing ideas in the late evening my beloved.

I've been listening to Al Stewart's "Roads to Moscow," the soundtrack to the fuckery in uniform that Stede orchestrates near the end of s2e8.

I wasn't at all familiar with Stewart's work before watching this episode, but I am chuckling that Stewart read approximately 40 books of history while writing this single song, which is now lovingly showcased in the season finale of a series that uses historical moments as jumping off points for fiction.

I spent enough time attempting to be an academic to love the impulse to read All The Books About The Event before trying to write about the event. But damn if I don't also appreciate DJenks' irreverence toward the historical record, given the massive numbers of important stories that have fallen through its crevices.
