#odysseus is suffering

Got into Epic the Musical recently, and general Greek mythology as a byproduct, and just. Whumpy Odysseus and Calypso thoughts.
What if Ody has a wedding ring that he's kept safe throughout his entire journey? A fairly simple band that he's refused to let fall from his finger. A reminder of what is waiting for him back home. One of the few things that keeps him fighting after he lost everyone he cared about, because it reminds him that he'll be back with his family when it's all over. That he still has two people waiting. Two people to cherish and love with the entirety of his heart and soul when he gets back home.
And, what if when Calypso forces him to lay with her, she also forces him to remove the ring or even forcibly removes it herself?
She doesn't like the way it feels when she holds his hands. It's a rough, firm reminder that she's not who Ody wants. Something that is harder to ignore compared to his pleas and crying, because at least with those Calypso can pretend it's just from being overwhelmed. That the tears are from pleasure and love, and the begging is for more and not for her to stop.
But the ring with Penelope's name engraved on it isn't as easy to ignore. So, each night, she slides it off Odysseus' finger and hopes that, one morning soon, he won't put it back on.

I don't think any other sentence could describe Odysseus' experience better than this 😭

I love Suffering animatics/art where Odysseus has a chain or rope around his ankle, connecting him to the mast. not only is it a great reference to the source material, but it implies that someone on the ship was worried that the mere sight of Penelope might convince Odysseus to jump in the water, even though he knows its a siren who will kill him
and that they were so persuasive in this argument that Odysseus actually agreed to it

The siren took one look at Odysseus and said ‘girl dad’ and no matter how wrong she was, I respect it.

The best way to explain to someone what it’s like to be an Epic the Musical fan listening to the Thunder Saga is to inform them that the most cheerful song in the saga is called Suffering

Siren!Penelope: Yo, this sailor says he's afraid of the water?! How the hell am I supposed to work with that?!
Other Siren: I dunno, just roll with it!
Siren!Penelope: Sure, I guess. Also, what do you think? Boy dad or Girl dad?
Other Siren: Oh Girl dad! 99% sure!
Siren!Penelope: Let's hope it's not that 1%.

#odysseus#penelope#the odyssey#epic the musical#epic the thunder saga#suffering#art#fanart#greek mythology#like he’s been acting like penelope was the one who died the entire time#he would have been diagnosed with female hysteria had he lived in victorian england#not because he’s miserable because that’s warranted#but because of his general demeanour
