#is actually a badass way to be don't listen to the haters

[roguetelepaths]

you fucking clowns will seriously be like "lol lawful good is the most boring alignment it's just being a cop" huh

meanwhile my housemate, who is not only more radical than most people on here could ever be, but also has been playing D&D since the fucking 90s, hears this shit and goes "wrong. you're all wrong. lawful good isn't about unthinkingly submitting to fucking social conventions or unjust laws it's about creating the kind of order that makes people MORE FREE. it's the radical concept that if anyone's right to safety or personal autonomy is subject to a fucking vote, that's not actually democracy. I've been to ~egalitarian communes~ where they voted on whether to let people have babies. lawful good is about making sure that shit doesn't happen"

like... folks, I know it's really easy to conflate order with domination if you've only ever experienced the latter, but not everyone who has some use for the concept wants to push you around. sometimes, they want to make sure no one can ever push anyone around again.

epic the musical review: troy saga

horse and the infant:

i like the underlying beat at the start. bassline? it fucks

but now we'll be the ones who SLAYYYYY ✨💅🏳️‍🌈

'diomedes will lead the charge' yay nepotism

'neo avenge your father kill the brothers of hector' i forgot pyrrhus was here,,, get their asses ig. anyway i like that he shouts out almost every major player just for a fun cameo

setting up some very strong leitmotifs (?) at the start w the penelopeee line

thats not an eagle bitch!!!! dont fucking give me a hawk!!!

i respect jorge's songwriting i rlly do but sometimes lines don't hit and i dont think "i know that im ready/i dont think youre ready" just didnt hit idk

the music box lullaby when he sees the infant bc its a baby :((

troys very own prince Hec Tor . the beat hit on that one

just a man

im gonna be so real this song solos almost the entire rest of the musical its so good ALSKJFJDF not a single off or odd line in the whole song. first song i heard from this before i knew what epic was. i have nothing but positive things to say abt it sorry SLDKFSDJF i like that it sounds like a lullaby. i like the way it swells. i like how hard jorge's fucking EATING w the vocals

full speed ahead

it is kinda jarring how we jump right from the war to full speed ahead but also like whatever full speed ahead

great strings <3 ily strings

SIX HUNDRED MEN.

the chorus has a good blend of voices

that for meeeEEeee was so beautiful thanks jorge

great introduction to eurylochus and polites' opposing philosophies in terms of strategy and also his crew

open arms

polites has suuuuch a beautiful voice this song (specifically the chorus) gets stuck in my head all the time

the opening claps make me wanna start singing where is your rider by the oh hellos

jorge was so fucking funny for this choice. like narratively it makes sense for how he decided the theme was ruthlessness is mercy enough that he was like polites is important and the lotus eaters are just lil guys. justified choice but funny nonetheless LDSKFSDJF

'welcome :]' theyre so cute slfkjdsfj

whenever im having a rough one i just hear polites 'you can relax my friend' and im like fuck so true i CAN relax

warrior of the mind

again its so interesting that jorge's thesis for this musical was sometimes its ok to be harsh/murder is okay but this is abt greek mythology so yeah go off ig

i didnt realize there was a flashback in here at first listen so the clock noises just confused me

actually the first bit of epic i heard was YOU ARE ATHENAA (ATHENA) BADASS IN THE ARENA

overall thoughts:

pretty lighthearted intro to the entire musical, the songs sound like they're made by the same person/for the same show while still retaining unique qualities. just a man is, again, my personal fav of this saga and the only one i tend to re-listen to i think bc it has the most traditional musical qualities as opposed to some of the (sometimes) halting speak-singing and tripping beats. but im getting more endeared to the show the more i listen to it but ngl my first listen thru i was kindof a hater

do maggie & negan for the ultimate ship meme pretty pls <3

ULTIMATE SHIP MEME! || @w1dowed

How long will they last? - till death and beyond the grave

How quickly did/will they fall in love? - honestly, I think negan always had this fascination with maggie. i mean, of all the girls in that line up why did he want to take maggie ? i mean cause she had a husband ? or cause like he said that one time in his cell that he saw the fire in her eyes. and even when he saw she was alive he remembered her ! i mean come on now ? interesting ain't it. now, when do I think negan falls for maggie-- well I think besides always having that little fascination over her, in our verse-- I think it's during that time in that house, where they are pushing at each other, and when they have sex for the first time... i think that's when negan feels... something for maggie awakens. like it's always been there, the lust for her and all. but in that moment, and the on going moments between them that happen. the more he gets to know her in our verse-- the cabin. he's a man, and a man who feels, and with that I feel like negan's emotions get a head of him. so the moment he falls in love with maggie is the moment their lips lock.

How was their first kiss? - hot, steamy, all the naughty in between the kisses. it was needy, urgent, and let's be real, no shame. well some shame cause it turned into sex LMAO.

How healthy is their sex life? - Barely touch themselves let alone each other | 2 | 3 | 4 | Once a couple weeks, nothing overboard | 6 | 7 | 8 | 9 | They are humping each other on the couch right now

How long do they normally last? - listen 3 rounds in one day? maybe more-- negan has a high sex drive and he's gonna be coming after maggie every damn time for some good ol sex.

Do they make sure each person gets an equal amount of orgasms? - fuck yeah !! they love watching the other come apart. it's hot.

How rough are they in bed? - Softer than a butterfly on the back of a bunny | 2 | 3 | 4 | The bed’s shaking and squeaking every time | 6 | 7 | 8 | 9 | Their dirty talk is so vulgar it’d make Dwayne Johnson blush. Also, the wall’s so weak it could collapse the next time they do it.

How much cuddling/snuggling do they do? - No touching after sex | 2 | 3 | 4 | A little spooning at night, or on the couch, but not in public | 6 | 7 | 8 | 9 | They snuggle and kiss more often than a teen couple on their fifth date to a pillow factory.

How many children will they have naturally? - 1 together. ( jack ) ( in other verses 2 ( tilly & jack )

How many children will they adopt? - 1 ? guess ginny if we add her into the mix of it ! ( and well in a way maggie kinda adopts tilly in, and negan the same with hershel ) though they don't have to call them mom/dad-- but still like adopt as part of the family.

Who gets stuck with the most diapers? - maggie, and negan ! listen negan def never changed tilly's diapers. he found a way to avoid that, but with jack ? maggie def made sure he did the poopy stuff a lot.
