I find the snippet Jay showed us very, very interesting. Eurylochus went from, "Let's just cut our losses and run" in the Circe saga to "You miss your wife so bad you'd sacrifice your own crew." I wanna see this. I wanna see where Eurylochus's character development goes.
(And then Odysseus replies with, "You would have done the same", likely referencing to what he said in the Circe saga.)
Now, I have been told by numerous people that Odysseus sacrificed some of his crew to escape Scylla (which, yikes, and also may be the actual event refered to in No Longer You, because it fits so well. Thanks guys!)
Seems to me the Eurylochus from the Circe saga would have understood Odysseus sacrificing a few men for the greater good so that they can get home, but the Eurylochus in the next saga doesn't seem to agree. In fact, he condemns him for it in the Mutiny snippet.
Hey, wouldn't it be funny, if, while Odysseus is having his downward spiral into ruthlessness, Eurylochus had his own rollercoaster of a journey from distrusting the Captain's decisions after Polyphemus to actually trusting him again? Wouldn't that be funny?
It's implied Eurylochus had something to do with the bag of storm being opened, whether he did it himself or just never stopped the crew, Eurylochus's own mistrust of Odysseus, likely, led to it being opened, and so many people killed. Do you think he thinks about it? Does it eat him up inside? And when he advocated to leave the men-to-pigs behind and escape Circe while they still can, did Odysseus's determination to get them back, that he'd do anything to get Eurylochus back if it were him, slap him in the face, too? That was how much Odysseus cared for him, and yet Eurylochus had thrown that love at his face when the crew opened the bag of storms. And the thing was, Odysseus succeeded! He got the crew back (Mostly. Elpenor wtf were you doing up there), and it was by opening himself up to her! Wouldn't it be so funny if, in the end, it had been Eurylochus who picked up Polites's philosophy??
Dusted it off from where he had dropped it in grief. Held it up to the light where he could see the fractures, the flaws, but also the warm soft glow of it, too. He may not be able to trust the world to be kind, but he can trust Odysseus. And wasn't that what Polites had wanted in the end? Trust in each other. Lead from the heart. Whatever they face, they'll survive it together.
Wouldn't that be so, so funny?
Boy, I sure do hope Odysseus won't do anything that would irrepairably break that newly grown trust :))))))

A new ref for Lemmy, and an official design and introduction of Limmy in This Universe Has Lemons In It! Limmy was created by the Guardian of the Lemonverse (any pronouns) as an attempt to stop Lemmy from what they are doing, which is creating portals to travel through various universes and dimensions to have fun. Not only is that a risk for the balance of the universe, but GotL just dislikes this kid having fun and wants to see them stopped.
Not wanting to do it in it's own hands, it created Limmy, an angel dog meant to be an direct opposite to Lemmy. Limmy, however, doesn't do much to stop Lemmy, other than following them and bickering. Their relationship is very Tom and Jerry rivalry-esk.
(Names color coded for myself to read easier due to the similar names!)
Fun fact, Limmy was originally going to be based on limes (Lime Angel), but I kept that concept for GotL - and made them more angel-like instead.
not sweeney todd but i'm just realizing how much i love the musical trope of a puckish political radical narrator mockingly describing the events around the female main character's life
trying to assign instruments to gerudo characters for thralls' soundtrack. Nabooru is getting the sitar so far, as I think she's good at representing the gerudo side that's closer to the Wild Era in terms of long-term vision for gerudo prosperity, not to mention that it works great for a more laid-back character; though Iftaah could also get that aspect, even though her perspective is a little bit more desperate and a little less actually strategizing about diplomacy and commerce in the way that Nabooru's is... not sure I have nailed down the perfect instrument for her yet though? Maybe a duduk, for its plaintive quality and capacity for softness? But I don't know, I feel like there could be something better out there. Saeruk and flamenco guitar seem pretty great fit for the versatility of the instrument, both harsh and defiant, playful at times, but also extremely sad if needs be, and the fact that she represents more the "older" kind of gerudo works well with more hispanic/romany inspirations. And then there's Aveil, who I feel represent the best the connection of the gerudos to their land, and I'd love an instrument that really represents that. Still looking for that one.
There's a bunch of fun things for Ganondorf that can be done, but I think he'll get... bigger instruments, in general. And church organs are quite versatile too it turns out. :) I like the marimba from his first phase boss battle, but it's a little too... I don't know, I feel like it lacks the roundness and depth and imposing quality that we could get with other picks. But Ganondorf so far has about *eight billion* leitmotifs going on with what I have selected for him (him and Ganon's, as they are... not exactly separate entities in the story, but sort of, it's kind of weird), so it might be more a case of actual melody rather than instruments, or maybe on top of instruments that swap in and out depending on what we want to invoke...
Sorry, rambling, but I would really love to compensate for my lack of voice actors with a pretty meaningful stab at the soundtrack. I feel like I kind of have to honestly. ;;
The Altered Beast[FULL SUITE] COULD be arthur bennett or adjacent to whatever hes got going on in tha finale. if ur brave enough. IF UR BRAVE ENOUGH [tldr its just about Things eating Things and becoming New Terrible Things. it also fucking jams]
Hi hi! Omg I just saw the post where you mentioned vicky teaching bluebelle the jellicle ball choreo and I am not normal abt it. Bellebelle got pranked 😔
TRULY‼️‼️‼️ YOU GET IT‼️‼️‼️
no but I had the idea appear in my head and it’s so sodding funny n cute I’m glad it infected you too :D
Because I can just imagine all the pre-jellicle dance nonsense happening (with all the misto and bomba and Alonzo ballet) and Bluebelle’s just like okay okay okay. This is chill. This is dignified. I am calm.
And then the amp music builds and she’s just like “WHAT THE FUCK” and scurries away, (like to the back where Deuteronomy is lolll)
And THEN when it finally starts and the music is playing and all the tension is released and it’s just FUN now, Bluebelle squints and is like. Hey wait a minute 🤨. I know what’s going on.
*flashback to like three months ago*
Bluebelle: Wow Victoria this new choreography you’ve been teaching me is so cool :) who’d you learn it from?
Victoria, who learned the choreo exactly one(1) hour ago: haha. Just. Somewhere.
beyond figuring out what an oc's actual title would be, I think it is fun to determine what title pieces they'd be drawn to using... How they'd describe themselves, what they think is funny. Sometimes along the way you find out who would use the head suffix for nefarious purposes.

[transcript + special note]
BRITECHESTER/ INT-DAY / LEIRO'S ROOM
LEÏLA AND HIRO ARE SLEEPING. HIRO WAKES UP.
HIRO : Hi love
LEÏLA : Hey …
HIRO : Did you sleep well ?
LEÏLA : Yeah but … I don't know, I feel kind of weird today
HIRO : Is it war time ?
LEÏLA : Nope, my period ended last week … Must be a little flew maybe … Or something else ?
Leïla starts singing : ♫ This is the man that I plan to entangle, isn't he fine?
My claim to fame was to maim and to mangle, vengeance was mine!
But I'm out of the biz, the name I made I'll trade for his.
The only trouble is ... I'll never tell ♫.
HIRO : ♫ She is the one, she's such wonderful fun, such passion and grace.
Warm in the night, when I'm right in her tight ... embrace. Tight embrace!
I'll never let her go. The love we've known can only grow.
There's just one thing that...no. I'll never tell ♫.
(both) Cuz there's nothing to tell.
THEY GO TO THE KITCHEN STILL SINGING
(LEÏLA) He snores.
(HIRO) She wheezes.
(LEÏLA) Say housework and he freezes.
(HIRO) She eats these skeezy cheeses that I can't describe.
(LEÏLA) I talk, he breezes.
(HIRO) She doesn't know what pleases.
(LEÏLA) His penis got diseases from a Chumash Tribe!
(both) The vibe gets kind of scary.
(HIRO) Like she thinks I'm ordinary.
(LEÏLA) Like it's all just temporary.
(HIRO) Like her toes are kinda hairy.
(both) But it's all very well.
Cuz God knows I'll never tell!
(LEÏLA) When things get rough, he just hides behind Destiny.
Now look, he's gettin' huffy.
Cuz he knows that I know.
(HIRO) She clings, she's needy, she's also really greedy.
She never...
(LEÏLA) His eyes are beady!
(HIRO) This is my verse, hello? She...
(LEÏLA) Look at me! I'm dancing crazy!
WHEN THE SONG STOPS HIRO GETS MAD
HIRO : Singing ?! Really ?! What have you done again?
LEÏLA : I ... I don't know !
HIRO : I'm tired to be your magical experiment okay ?! This will go wrong one day and you know it ! And these aren't even our clothes !
LEÏLA : But I ...
HIRO : I don't care anymore Lee ! I'm late because of you !
HE LEAVES ANGRY.
Special note : this is the first time that I'm making this kind of video. I've planned to do more in the future so please, give me your opinion/advices if you'd want to see more similar videos. I think I'm just going to use it for Melodia but I'm thinking about adding more videos into DH3 as well. I recorded my sims voices but you can totally hear my computer roar also !
Some fun facts : The midsommar poster between Leïla and Hiro means something if you have seen the movie .... Also, when Leïla mentionnes Destiny, I recorded my own voice to make her say her name but it sounded ridiculous so I kept the "Buffy" version but kept my lyrics change in the subtitles so you can all understand. Also, both Hiro and Leïla are wearing similar clothes from the original video that you can see here :
I can't believe we finally found a bootleg of the 2006 estonian production, what??? there soo much stuff in there. canon time loop??? set backstage at a production of chess?? florence kisses walter and freddie at one point?? in endgame they list all the world champions up to Kramnik for some reason?? all the new songs they added?? I am being soo normal about this.
sometimes ppl on here will post like "i love concept albums" or "i love narrative songs" and talk about how cool it is when music tells a story like. You guys arent gonna believe it when i tell you about musical theatre
i remember the first time ever i listened to SO i was like pfft rap? get out. (i was cringe) and then when i gave it a listen again a few months later i was a changed person... so i binge listened to their entire discography immediately and was genuinely shocked because how could ALL of their songs be bangers, like i couldn't believe it was possible it was surreal........ i wish i could turn back time (lol) to experience that pure shock again
