Epic!Hera having a Groovy 70/80's aesthetic is something i really love, since i'm used to seen her being despicted as a very regal goddess, so seen her dancing and posing in the animatic of God Games was a pretty funny and original to me.

Crazy thing is that is not even the first time i see Hera with this type of vibe, since Destripando la Historia used the song "Gimme! Gimme! Gimme!" by ABBA as inspiration for Hera's song, wich was released in 1979 and is very catchy and upbeat song. I guess musicians just read about Hera and somehow get very Grooby vibes from her.

To be fair, if my brother killed everyone but the man I hate, I would be pissed as well

Hades: Weren’t you just here?

No, I'm not a player, I'm a puppeteer

If I have to walk that AU road, I will bring you all with me.

NO-ONE AND I MEAN NO-ONE UNDERSTANDS EURYLOCHUS LIKE I DO

HIS FATAL FLAW IS HUNGER. HE WAS THE FIRST ONE TO BRING UP HOW LITTLE FOOD THEY HAD IN THE TROY SAGA. HE OPENED THE BAG BECAUSE OF HIS HUNGER FOR A MYSTERIOUS TREASURE. HE KILLS THE COW BECAUSE OF HIS UNYIELDING HUNGER.

HE TRIED TO TALK ABOUT THE WIND BAG AT THE START OF THE CIRCE SAGA BUT ODYSSEUS WOULDN’T HEAR HIM. HE HAS LIVED WITH THAT GUILT FOR THE ENTIRE TIME.

HE WAS NOT HYPOCRITICAL FOR BEING MAD AT ODYSSEUS FOR SACRIFICING 6 MEN BECAUSE EVEN THO HE WANTED TO SACRIFICE THE MEN TO CIRCE, ODYSSEUS TEACHES HIM THAT THEY MUST FIGHT. SURE NOT ALL OF THEM WILL SURVIVE BUT THEY MUST TRY NONETHELESS. SO ODYSSEUS CHOOSING NOT TO SAVE THEM WAS THE PROBLEM. THEY PROBABLY WOULD HAVE DIED REGARDLESS BUT IT WAS THE FACT THAT THEIR DEATHS WERE PLANNED AND THEY WERE PURPOSELY SACRIFICED THAT EURYLOCHUS WAS ANNOYED AT. HE WAS PISSED THAT ODY HAD TAUGHT HIM TO BE BETTER AND THEN ODY CHOSE TO BE WORSE.

me seeing any piece of media ever: i can make that gayer (design cred: ody - gigi & zeus - neal_illustrator)

[anniflamma]

I had some wild ideas, like having Zeus take the form of the cattle that Eurylochus killed, imagine a decapitated bull running around with blood gushing. But I decided to keep it more normal…

Either way, I’ve started working on Thunder Bringer again, folks!

[doodlesooup]

i've been obsessing over 'epic the musical' for a week or so and i just can't shake off how incredibly 'thunder bringer' fits malleus in my head???

[gigizetz]

athena's body language in your we'll be fine animatic is so well done??

like the high five part really stuck with me because the body language is so good. she's so clearly reserved and not used to it and the way she makes it a small action is just. yeah. this is a goddess who's not used to Friends but she's doing her best and she's indulging this small sunshine boy.

i love the animatic so much???

I love seeing people notice that because I put so much thought on the way I make the gods move

like, I have this thing (that I was ever really able to show a little in Ruthlessness and We'll Be Fine) that I make some of the most prideful gods have a high reluctance to touch mortals at all.

in my Ruthlessness animatic for example, Poseidon spends the whole song beating up Ody and leaning in to his face, but he never actually touches him with his non-rock arm (and when he does, he straight up wipes his hand right after).

and Athena is a lot more friendlier here, but throughout the whole video she still keeps her head high and her arms folded around her back, only breaking that pose when she feels vulnerable. So when the "high five" happens it feels a lot more impactful.

Cloudy with a chance of bitch.
