Penelope Watching Odysseus Show Off

a quick update

Things To Never Say To Someone Who Just Came Out : Iliad edition

One piece is a reimagining of the Odyssey but kind of in reverse.

Each member of the strawhat crew reflects different aspects of Odysseus, Luffy is his trickster nature, Zorro is the blood lust, Nami is sailing prowess, Robin is the strategist, Franky is his ingenuity, Chopper is his empathy, Brook is his determination, and Jinbe is his wisdom.

I wanna say Enel is Posideon, Shanks is Athena, Emu is Zeus, and Law is Hermes.

Going in to what I ment by one piece being the odyssey in reverse:

There are some story beats that match up in reverse like starting the series with Luffy on a raft that gets sunk in a whirlpool like how Odysseus took on Charybdis.

the sea is lovely, dark and deep. zolu ; 78k ; post-time skip; time loop (temporary) main character death; graphic depictions of violence; mentions of blood and gore; body horror

“What’s wrong with you, Zoro?” Luffy asks, stopping him in his tracks and pinning him in place with a simple look. There’s nothing else to it—not anger, no annoyance, just a tilt to his head and that tiny line forming between his brows as the corners of his mouth dip.

He’s already seen their deaths too many times, thought about them all more than he ever thought he would.

It was never supposed to go like this.

I’m sorry I failed and watched you die and I can do nothing to stop it, he cannot say. I know the weight of you in my arms, know what it’s like to cling to all of you and lose you, and I have lost you and will continue to. I can’t stop it, I will stop it. I can’t lose you again—“I’m fine.”

i swear every day i notice something new in Epic

the little piano notes in Puppeteer playing the Luck Runs Out melody starting around the 30 second mark?? i heard the other riffs but missed this one. oh man. Ody wanting to be alone, remembering how Eurylochus warned him. thinking about the 551 men who died because of him. Eurylochus remembering it too, but he doesn’t seem to hold resentment, just the guilt of knowing him opening the wind bag got them there. Ody maybe knowing about the wind bag already and pushing Eurylochus away so he doesn’t have to hear it when he’s already lost so many friends…

what a masterpiece
