I Don't Know How To Tag - Blog Posts

My friend told me to post this on Tumblr, at first I wasn't sure of it but they convinced me 🗿

It's not completely finished, I'll finish it later

Meet Rue! he is a transgender Angler fish (I have yet to finish him) and he has a Little jelly fish named Xulo!

Absolutely be political in your worship.

Aphrodite isn't called Pandemos (of All People) so you can sit around and let the big names capitalise love and serve it only to those who can afford to pay past the persecution. Hermes isn't called Oeopolus (Shepherd) so you can sit around and let a bunch of power-hungry wolves lead a flock of influencable sheep. Apollo isn't called Paean (Healer) so you can sit around while wealthy corporations serve healthcare only to those who can afford not to die. Athena isn't called Ambulia (Counsellor) so you can sit around while the people are being fed propaganda against each other to divert them from the real enemy at the top. Dionysus isn't called Eleuthereus (the Liberator) so you can sit around while freedom is only granted to those whose skins have the acceptable colour while the others die in chains. Zeus isn't called Xenios (of the Foreigners) so you can sit around while the borders are closed to those who need it and only open to those who can give back the money.

The Gods stand with the oppressed, and so should you.

Ramble on the Ithaca Saga!

The Challenge

Penelope! So happy to finally see her! Absolutely love her design guys what the heck–

Penelope singing “waiting” to the same melody as Anticlea (Odysseus’s mom) makes so much sense to me. When Odysseus left, they had to support each other and it makes sense that they bonded and confined to each other a lot on top of being family.

Hold Them Down

O.O

Honestly, wow. Just. Wow. 

I love how this song addresses how much of a threat the suitors were. They would not take no for an answer. They planned to kill Telemachus multiple times. And they would have forced Penelope if they could get away with it. The Greeks had really strict rules on hospitality

Also, I would like to add that I recognized wolfythewitch’s animatic from the way they drew the food and the suitors’ noses. I don’t know why that stood out to me so much

Great detail in how Antinous died by an arrow to the throat. Very accurate

Odysseus

BOSS BATTLE!!!

The chorus chanting “O-dee-sse-us” in the background THE SAME WAY they chant “Po-lee-phe-mus” in Survive from the Cyclops Saga was absolute gold. Because Odysseus is the monster now (rawr rawr)

He just had to get up and personal in “You don't think I know my own palace? / I BUILT IT!” Drama queen

Telemachus Telemachus Telemachus ! Probably my favorite character in Epic! Love his intro.

poor baby did not get the ruthlessness memo thou

I Can’t Help But Wonder

I refuse to rank the songs of this Saga because it may physically pain me, but this song is definitely one of my top ten for the musical

Absolutely bawled my eyes out when Odysseus and Telemachus finally hugged!

Love how this song shows the (new) bond between father and son. And it’s such a sharp contrast to the previous song; really emphasises how much his family means to Odysseus

Athena! Reunion! In the words of my friend, so glad that she has a physical reminder of how much she changed and the consequences she faced for going against Zeus in God Games. Also glad that Odysseus and she got to make up, altogether it’s not instant forgiveness. They both hurt each other a lot, but they mean so much to the other. <3

Would You Fall In Love With Me Again

Again, bawled my eyes out. 

Penelope and Odysseus dueting, chef’s kiss

I love the instrumentals in this song. Everytime each character speaks, you can really distinguish the viola and guitar and their signature motifs

Penelope testing Odysseus with the olive tree wedding bed was probably one of my favorite moments. 

How I think it went down:

While I love how everyone’s like “Penelope was testing to see if it was really Odysseus”, I think it would be really funny if Penelope immediately recognizes Odysseus, but Odysseus is being depressed, so she snaps him out of it.

I also like how Penelope added "waiting~ for you" to contrast with Odysseus's "waiting for love"

I love how the last lines of the musical are “I love you”. It shows how much devotion Odysseus has and how much he cares for and prioritizes Penelope. The Odyssey could easily be argued for one of the greatest love stories, on both Odysseus and Penelope’s fronts.

Does anyone else connect Fyodor Dostoevsky in the most recent stuff with Baba Yaga and other Russian/Slavic folklore? I know the irl Dostoevsky referenced folklore in his works. Maybe there is some connection. Both Fyodor and Baba Yaga are associated with skulls and are “immortal”. We see the two side of Fyodor in dead apple while he is “crime” is ability refers to its self as “punishment” which can be seen as life and death. Baba Yaga is a goddess of birth and death. There is the Cannibalism Arc in bsd while Baba Yaga is a cannibal. They both transform Fyodor takes over Bram’s body and Baba Yaga is a shapeshifter. Both are extremely smart and manipulative. Fun fact Baba Yaga can take the form of a bird. ;) Nikolai and birds ;)

I finally finished that wip of the 501st barracks from a week ago, and im pretty happy with it! 

I also went from the chaos of doing everything on one layer to that chaos of 17 layers of effects. 

Okay bye see you in 7 months or so
