[a-god-in-ruins-rises]

good morning

[that-tall-queer-bassist]

The Circe Saga

woke up and tried to do other thing but couldnt stop thinking about this fucking musical (concept album)

Puppeteer

The piano kinda transitioning over from Ruthlessness is good, along with the waves you can hear in the beginning

"Captain" AUGH the distance because theyre not equals and they never will be they never have been.

The tension rising when Eurylachus came back (sorry if i spelled it wrong)

THE DRUM pounding is so good

"What was it?" "A woman" "what." BRO HE SOUNDS SO UNIMPRESSED.

okay then more impressed but still omg

i wanna see circe so badly she sounds so pretty. i'd give her my soul.

the back and forth :brainfull:

Yes Circe you do have all the power i believe you

hmm Eurylachus wants to leave them... hmmmm.......

"There's no length I wouldn't go if it was you i had to save" GJAFKHH BITING TEARING CLAWING

good ending

Wouldn't You Like

THE GIGGLEs AHHHH

the strumming is also great

he's totally flirting thats a flirty voice i swear to fucking, well, hermes

odysseus's voice when he says the name XD so awe

AHHHH THIS CHORUS GOES SO HARD

it itches my brain so good

and the verse

and it all. i love it so much maybe this is my favorite song

also can i just say hermes has such flair its so good its amazing yes and the little vocal flourishes ahhhhhhhhhh

the rhymes here make my brain happy

"Holy Moly"

HIS LAUGH

aughhhhhh this is such a good song this might be my favorite actually

such a good fucking song omg <- aware theyre repeating themself

the soft "thank you" my heart

"Don't thank me friend, you very well may die" FUCKING GREAT

Done For

The strings have such power in this song omg

this song also has rhymes that itch my brain good omg i love the lyrics for this one i forgot

the might be my favorite saga

the break into regular talking is so good and really makes the chorus pop so well

the rhyme scheme goes hard

oh its actually called moly?

HA she called his bluff so fast

their duet.... ough.......

the music really does set the mood so well, even with the transition to circe being defeated

"I'm not sure I follow" as the end? HA

There Are Other Ways

The stringsssss yes yes yes

this song is so sensual and i cant even tell you why, it just is. I would be a fucking goner if Circe sang this to me

the percussion coming in with odysseus is so good

The return of just a man ajghsjjhj

OUGH him singing about penelope is so good i can't even, it really does reflect his longing and yearning

love the rhyming of circe and mercy

the change of the meaning of "there are other ways" !!! Ahhh!!!!!

the thud when she says "dead" and then the change to Underworld's vibes omg

The change of the meaning of the title again!!! aghhhhhH!!!!!!! im so fucking hype

the addition of more strings in this section is so good

"and maybe one day the world will need a puppeteer no more" PLEASE

the overlapping with the men with the puppeteer lines when she turns them back into men!!

Live Reaction of my SECOND listen through of EPIC: The Musical

okay i want my Thoughts after finishing the first listen through today (over the course of a week) but i need to listen Again so here we fucking go peoples. Reblogging with each new saga to keep things organized a bit :)

The Troy Saga

we start!!

The Horse And The Infant

"little ajax stay back" 🥺

"You're not ready"

"I could raise him as my own" I WISH PLEASE

the whole section with overlapping dialogue of possibilities and the tragic ends they would lead to

i wanna know who that guy speaking was i don't remember

Just a Man

its so tragic how this infant reminds him of his own son like what the fuck thats so fucked up how could jorge do this to us. OW.

"close your eyes and spare yourself the view" Q^Q

this whole song gets me. especially paired with WolfyTheWitch's animatic to it. augh.

GOD knowing that all of these metaphors come back later and become Relevant i CANT OMG

"Forgive me" is probably the worst thing he could say because i do and i can't at the same time, but he's not asking me to forgive him, he's asking this INFANT who he KILLED AUGH

Full Speed Ahead

600 men. 601 with Odysseus

god this really is just setting the scene huh. and well!!

He really did wanna go home as fast as he could

OH MY GOD MY BOI I FORGOT ABOUT HIM AND HIS OPEN ARMS

his voice is like. angelic. wow.

"and if we don't return, then 600 men can make this place burn" i forgot about that woah

Open Arms

"My friend" my heart hurts

"This life is amazing when you greet it with open arms" oh sweet boy

the sound of a sword being drawn is so good omg

"600 friends are waiting for us to show our faces" XD bruh not subtle

EVEN LESS SUBTLE

Polites i love you

"My friend" you are friends yes please remember that please

Oh i forgot the lotus eaters sent them to "this food filled cave"

"I see in your face there is so much guilt in your heart" AUGH MY BOY

the repeating by odysseus...

"You can relax my friend" at the end like AUGH thats so GOOD and then the immediate next song being Warrior of the Mind !!! very good very tragic

Warrior of the Mind

immediately the music change raises the tension

the way Odysseus immediately knows who she is, hears or something, i love it so much.

"Have you forgotten your purpose? Let me remind you." AUGH hes not a man, but a tool

He seems like more of a conquest or trophy than a person to her, which is fair given he's a mortal and she's a goddess but damn this really does just keep happening to him, being a gods plaything huh?

THIS CHORUS GOES SO SO HARD THOUGH

"Maybe one day he'll follow me and we'll make a greater tomorrow" the way she sings this makes my brain so happy

the whole chorus just scratches my brain in such a good way omg

the slowness. "show yourself"

HIS LITTLE LAUGH

the whole exchange honestly

"nah, don't be modest, i know you're a goddess, so lets be honest-" YES YES YES

"YOU ARE ATHENA" WOOOOOOOOOOOO CLAPPING CHEERING

his description of her is great

"goddess and man, bestest of friends!" "We'll see where it ends" "okay" asdghkjsa im wheezing

THEIR DUET

I LOVE THEM SO MUCH

"ending on "don't disappoint me" is so mean
