THE MEMES ALWAYS COME BACK

[lyculuscaelus]

Polites, to Odysseus: Let me be your light!

Polites gets killed by Polyphemus

Odysseus to Polyphemus: I am your darkest moment!

Because he has just lost his light.

The curse of no one around me irl knowing or caring about Greek mythology or the odyssey is that no one understands why I’m annoyed about people complaining that one of the songs in the epic ocean saga isn’t the ‘get in the water’ because that’s not how the fucking odyssey works!!!!!

Best Cyclops Saga Song!

Ruthlessness has won in the best Ocean Saga Song, and so now we move onto the Cyclops saga! The best song from this saga will move on to the final round, where it will face off against No Longer You, Wouldn’t You Like, Wouldn’t You Like, and the winners from the other sagas!

Polyphemus

[PT: Polyphemus /End PT.]

You guys this song is so so criminally underrated. I think we all forget some key amazing moments. Such as:

- the cool creepy cello descending just as we're introduced to the cyclops

- the CYCLOPS' CREEPY VOICE. This is our first introduction to it and it sounds so sick, especially in the remastered version

- Jorge's voice! It's like you can hear odysseus calculating his actions as he sings, and make every decision intentionally to set up for later in the saga. Also he does that really pretty falsetto riff on 'nobody noobody nooooooobody' which is SO NICE TO LISTEN TO

- the dumb little cyclops jokes odysseus throws in. like 'I'm so glad we see eye to eye'? my dude.

Anyway yes this song is great and no one appreciates it enough and we should all vote for it. I think.

YouTube keeps recommending animatics for songs from Epic and the music is good enough and the animatics themselves are often incredible. but it really looks like the musical makes odysseus more of a modern good boy hero ideal who is at most a little rascally and I'm sorry but I can't with it. give me my bastard man. give me that little compulsive liar schemer. where is my conniving rat man who loves his conniving and suspicious hot wife

[kolektsiakomah]

IM EXPLODING list of things from the ocean saga from epic the musical i think abt A Lot

[this is a long fucking list]

the heartbeat accompanying odysseus' reminiscing of penelope n telemachus . im gonna cry [the horse and the infant]

THE FUCKIN SOUND PRODUCTION IN GENERAL ¿¿¿ THE WAR SOUNDS . ITS LIKR IM THERE [the horse and the infant]

violins intensifying when zeus mentions penelope n telemachus 😭😭😭😭😭😭 also thunderbolts and lightning very very frightening when zeus' verse comes on [the horse and the infant]

this . IM IN PAIN . this is sickening this is sickening this is sickening ive been crying abt this for 15 mins and counting. might be my father issues talking but the way telemachus probably doesnt even remember odysseus and knows abt his existence only thanks to penelope meanwhile this man is fighting for his LIFE every day to see them and hug them ☹☹☹☹☹☹ save me SAVE ODYSSEUS ↓ [just a man]

'i look into your eyes and i

think back to the son of mine.

you're as old as he was

when i left for war...

***

close your eyes

and spare yourself the view.

how could i hurt you?

i'm just a man

who's trying to go home

even after all the years

away from what i've known!

i'm just a man

who's fighting for his life,

deep down i would

trade the world

to see my son and wife!!'

PENELOPES WAITINGNGGGGG FOR HIKMMMMMM ¡¡¡¡¡¡ RUHHEGHHEHHGGGGG also eurylochus and polities are so bro . they were literally sworn bros stop it [full speed ahead]

the lil spooky sounds at the start of open arms ¿ so good . POLITIES I LOVE YOU YOU DIDNT DESERVE TO DIE SO SOON . he so was what odysseus needed at the time ↓ [open arms]

'a cave!!

you're saying there's a cave where we could feast?

and where do we sail to find this food-filled cave?

thank you :)'

athenas clock motive ¡¡¡¡¡ so good . the dont disappoint me was SO . OMINOUS . I LOVE QUICK THOUGHT MOMENTS [warrior of the mind]

THEYRE BROTHERS ¡¡¡¡¡¡ ↓ [polyphemus]

'over here!'

'look at all this food,

look at all these sheep!

i can't believe this cave has all this for us to keep.'

'i've gotta hand it you, pol,

this is quite the treat.

there are enough sheep here

to feed the entire fleet.'

POLYPHEMUS IS SO SCARY I LOVE IT . LIKE ACTUALLY SCARY i had actual goosebumps i gasped so hard when the whole boss battle started it was so full of suspension and tension and there was sm going on i was like ?@*@*#*×£@£€$£×*@*('(@(#(,"*"*' i cant fully express how this particular part makes me feel but when i was listening for the 1st time i was clenching my armchair so hard . deadass was on the verge of tears when polities got sniped and odysseus' men were screaming for their captain while polyphemus just slaughters them all . ALSO IM TELLING YOU ODYSSEUS LEARNED THOSE NEGOTIATION TACTICS FROM POLITIES [polyphemus + survive]

the complete silence after odysseus reveals his name . no triumphant music no cheers NOTHIJG just the creaking of the ship . and knowing that polyphemus is supposed to just Stare at the crew w his bloody gory eye and a smile ......... god fucking damn [remember them]

'this hurts athena.' in the script after odysseus snaps and goes YOURE ALONE ...... i mean go odysseus but ohhh . athena . ATHEJNNAAAAA [my goodbye]

JORGE TALKED ABT THIS BUT THE HARMONIES IN STORM ARE SO FUNKY ¡¡¡¡¡ AHHHHH STOOOoooOOOoooOOORM STOOOoooOOOoooOOORM THE LIKES OF WHICH WEVE NEVER SEEN BEFOREEEEE BRACE FOR THE STOOOoooOOOoooOOORM STOOOoooOOOoooOOORM WITH HOME SO CLOSE WE MUST BE PUSHING FORWARDDDD ‼️‼️‼️ [storm]

the absolute divine Island In The Sky melody in the middle of the goddamn storm made me levitate . i had goosebumps . polities would fucking love it [storm]

i was so sure for some reason that 'lead from the heart and see what starts' was a callback to open arms but it wasnt . hmm . WELL STILL . eurylochus literally says odysseus is the brother he could never do without oughhhhh ..... AND eurylochus is so real throughout this whole thingg no wonder hes the right hand man . [luck runs out]

aeolus' lil HAHAs are wonderful . i feel like shes def friends w hermes . also her song is such a bop ¿¿¿ got me grooving ¡¡¡¡ winions are so fjsjjsjwjwjaja theyre the definition of skrunkly . [keep your friends close]

this also broke me . any fucking interaction odysseus has w his kid and wife is sure to send me straight into my coffin . the way odysseus is pulled out from his bittersweet dream straight into new chaos and new problems . bro cant even communicate w his fam thru prophetic dreams hes so tired GIVE HIM PENELOPE N TELEMACHUS NOW ↓ [keep your friends close]

'the bag is still closed and i'm getting closer

to you.

penelopeee~

time for me to be the father i never was...

'just keep your eyes open...'

'why are my eyes and my heart and my soul

'just keep your eyes open.'

'i keep on trying to embrace you both,

'just keep your eyes open!'

'so much has changed, but i'm the same,

'just keep your eyes open!!'

i lauf dramatic entrances poseidon is so extra ↓ [ruthlessness]

'OOOOOOOOOOOODYSSEUS OF ITHACA ‼️‼️‼️ do you know who i am.'

[dolokhoded]

epic the musical can die by my blade i don't think there's anything actually wrong with i'm just abhorred by the amount of tenors and think everyone sounds like the vocal equivalent of an iphone face

Yk what I’d love to hear mr jalapeño talk about? The SOUND DESIGN of EPIC, because holy HELL, especially in Survive, the sound of the club hitting men, the crumbling of the rocks around Polyphemus as he falls, it’s all so damn good? HOW DID THEY DO IT?? Idk if he’s talked about it before and I somehow missed it, but that’s a lil video rambling I’d be super interested in seeing :)

[quinnfrankephotography]

Beautiful morning today. Great walk. Lots of animals and nature outside.

So do any of you reading this want me to list the animals photographed?

[theoakleafpancake]

So I dunno who here knows about Epic The Musical but the new concept album? Listen to it. It’s amazing. I love every aspect of it except for the part where Odysseus decides to be an idiot but even that part is beautiful

Anyways here’s a little drawing I did for “My Goodbye”
