THERE ARE OTHER WAYS DID NOT GO WHERE I WAS EXPECTING IT TO OH MY GOD /POS

PENELOPE’S THEME AND INSTRUMENT?? ODYSSEUS BEING QUITE LITERALLY BACKED INTO A CORNER AND HAVING SEEMINGLY NO OTHER WAY TO SAVE HIS MEN BUT STILL NOT BEING ABLE TO BRING HIMSELF TO GO THROUGH WITH THE ACT (EVEN THO IT WOULDN’T BE A TRUE ACT OF BETRAYAL BECAUSE THERE’S NO ACTUAL CONSENT ON HIS SIDE AND IT WAS SOMETHING HE WAS ABOUT TO BE COERCED INTO)??? CIRCE BEING TAKEN ADVANTAGE OF BEFORE AND BELIEVING THAT “BECOMING THE PUPPETEER” IS THE ONLY WAY TO KEEP HERSELF AND HER NYMPHS SAFE SO SHE OFFERS THIS “ACT OF PASSION” TO STILL HAVE A FORM OF CONTROL, AND THEN SEEING ODYSSEUS IS NOT LIKE THOSE BEFORE BECAUSE HE’S SO IN LOVE WITH PENELOPE (WHO HE HASN’T SEEN IN 12 YEARS) THAT HE REFUSES HER OFFER AND PLEADS BECAUSE IT’S NOT WORTH IT EVEN THO THATS THE ONLY OPTION HE’S BEEN GIVEN??? HIM CALLING HIMSELF A PUPPET MAKING HER REALIZE THAT THIS CYCLE OF ABUSE AND CONTROL ISN’T WORTH IT ONLY TO COME TO A MUTUAL UNDERSTANDING BECAUSE SHE KNOWS WHAT IT’S LIKE TO BE TRULY IN LOVE AND TO BE HURT, SO SHE OFFERS HIM AN ACT OF KINDNESS INSTEAD???

“Maybe showing one act of kindness leads to kinder souls down the road”

"The text is all up to interpretation."

The Text:

#Fuck Calypso. All my homies hate Calypso.#The place he likes to be is in Penelope and Telemachus' arms btw #Odysseus isn't a fuck boy. He's a fucking SIMP for Penelope. He did not want Circe or Calypso.#I want to make a Paris kidnapping Helen one too but yee. probably a different post.#it's funny because ever since I realized how similar Helen and Odysseus are in their situations anytime I see something like this #I'm like “Shit this fits them both” so yeah :'D #calypso #anti calypso #odyssey #the odyssey #odysseus #greek mythology #tagamemnon #greek mythology memes #memes #Mad rambles #shot by odysseus #epic the musical

"We should, um, go on a date sometime!" "This is a date, stupid."

I don't know if this quite meets the soulmate prompt for @sulemio-week-official but maybe it can be for the free day?

Happy pride!

love a reading of odysseus that understands war will still traumatize you when you're not morally opposed to it, when you're good at it, when you desire it, whether what you desire is violence or the glory and profit that come with it, and when you win it

#when i think back on mm's body of work this is a great disappointment i have. because it's a theme she wants to explore i think #that being mythologized as a hero will make you worse. because of all the violence you do.#that you can be a man who wants to go home but that desire is so buried under blood and gore that it's not possible #and then it's executed so poorly. and in a book ostensibly about circe #SIGHS. well there's other books. the odyssey for instance #anna.txt

The Circe Saga is coming close, so here are some reminders for everyone!

1. "There Are Other Ways" is NOT the same as "Say No To This".

Whether we go by the original context or the musical context, Hamilton was blackmailed FOR sleeping with a woman, while Odysseus was blackmailed INTO sleeping with a goddess. Hamilton can say "no" and go on his day, but Odysseus will get smote.

I get that the vibes of these songs are similar, but they are NOT THE SAME SITUATION!!! Please don't fall for the thought trap that Odysseus was seduced or purposefully cheated on his wife. He was terrified of Circe but had to do what he could to save his and his crew's lives.

2. Either you love, hate, or have complicated feelings with Circe, PLEASE DON'T ATTACK OTHER PEOPLE WITH DIFFERENT VIEWS OF HER!!!

Circe is a complicated character, and there are mixed opinions about her. I know that people who read "Circe" novel, The Odyssey, or any other works with Circe in it will have disagreements, but please resolve them on your blogs instead of the Epic comment sections.

We don't want people to break into fights and ruin the musical experience for everyone.

Thank you for your cooperation!

#circe #odysseus #epic the circe saga #epic the musical #this is a reminder to everyone #i know the Epic fandom is wholesome most of the time #but i'm still worried about the controversy that might occur #because the debate about Odysseus and Circe (and Calypso too) has been going on long before the musical #i can't stand watching this wonderful community fall apart when we're not even done with Act 1

He's got an idea, can you tell?

#the sims #it's in my plans to redo the entire intro with the Beakers too #Screenshot redraw from Venture Bros because The Monarch is incredibly Loki-coded.#Would even go as far as to say Sheila is somewhat Circe-coded at times #the sims 2 #ts2 #simblr #strangetown #sims #sims 2 #ea #ea games #loki beaker #circe beaker #the beakers #my art

The Telegony goes against what the Odyssey tells us not only because of Tiresias' Prophecy but also because Odysseus' family line only has one son each.

Zeus made our line a line of only sons. Arcesius had only one son, Laertes, and Laertes had only one son, Odysseus, and I am Odysseus’ only son. He fathered me, he left me behind at home, and from me he got no joy.

(Book 16, Fagles)

Telegonus can't even realistically BE Odysseus' son as he already has Telemachus. The Only son

HEY DC X DP FANS

REMEMBER CALCULATOR??? THE CALCULATOR? Whatever the fuck his nerdy ass name was???

He like, was the villain equivalent of oracle in dc-online. And he’s like a character that I don’t think dc really uses often… (Yes I still play that- shut up)

Yeah, anyways-

Boom, make him Tucker. Or make Tucker him??

Tucker = The Calculator

Get it? Got it? Good.

then do whatever the fuck with that. Like- Danny could be a villain in training (dc-online story arc???)

Or maybe no one else knows, and then the bats find out and Tucker freaks the hell out

Or I dunno- Danny is a “villain” (but in the fun way, not so murderous) and ends up being recruited as one of the villain mentors (yknow; Lex, Joker, Circe)

(Since each is a counter to a hero; Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman. What if Danny’s the counter to another hero? Or even the counter to the entire Justice League Dark. I think it’d be pretty funny if he’s the counter to Flash or something)

And now he’s gotta mentor a bunch of villains-in-training who literally busted out of test tubes and have no memories from before… and god hes just adopting kids isn’t he?

maybe somehow Klarions here, too.

I rambled in the tags a lil bit btw…

#danny phantom #dp x dc #dc x dp #batpham #danny phantom crossover #dpxdc #dp x dc prompt #dpxdc prompt #I could also ramble about the power system in dc online #Because the actual options are magic combat | hand to hand combat | and powered combat #so I think metas fall under Lex | Superman #and Wonder Woman and Circe are magic #And then Joker and Batman are hand to hand combat #so then it’s like #Constantine falls under magic too #So introducing Danny as a big villain would be interesting #you have the option of making an ectoplasm section of the power dynamics #or maybe you could fit him under something else?#maybe we could specifically separate alien from meta and give meta to Danny?#And superman won’t run out of kids to mentor because all of the player characters in the game just wake up on brainiacs ship #so they could be from literally anywhere #which would also make the hero equivalent of him Flash #so like #literally perfect #i’m rambling

(trying to boolean search outis and eurylochus in the hopes something will pop up) can project moon throw me a bone and let me know who exactly from the odyssey will appear in outis’s canto before i end up drawing Laertes and Ctimene and basically the whole goddamn family tree at this point …

#mochis mumbles #my art #limbus company #outis lcb #<- i think this is justified because this post is all about her basically.#ok now for the unhinged character tags.#Antinous lcb #Athena lcb #eurylochus lcb #polites lcb #basically epic the musical Circe saga was like a bomb dropping on me

There Are Other Ways had no right breaking Odysseus like it did THE GUY LOVES HIS WIFE SO MUCH, HE JUST NEEDS TO TALK ABOUT HER AND HE INSTANTLY GETS LOST IN HIS LOVE FOR HER

Back at home my wife awaits for me She is my everything, my Penelope And she’s all my power, all my power

DO YOU HEAR HOW MUCH HE'S YEARNING FOR HER, HOW HE IS WALLOWING IN THE FEELING, AT THAT MOMENT HE IS ALMOST FINE BECAUSE EVEN JUST THE MEMORY OF PENELOPE GIVES HIM STRENGTH AND THEN

But it’s been twelve long years, oh

THE REALIZATION OF IT

THE PAIN IN HIS VOICE

HOW HE IS RIPPED OUT OF HIS MIND BY THE SHEER WEIGHT OF HOW LONG IT HAS REALLY BEEN

EYES SUDDENLY OPEN FILLED WITH AGONY

Twelve long years since I have seen my wife And now the god of tides is out to end my life So I beg you Circe, grant us mercy And let us puppets leave

It just does not stop coming, now Poseidon wants him dead as well and Odysseus is so tired, all he wants is to get home.

So he begs Circe.

#good god the agony #jay rivera herrans you mastermind madman how dare you make this hurt so good #Let the man see his wife #i wish i made animatics because the mental images i get of this song are insane #so much emotion #there are other ways #epic the musical #epic the circe saga #odysseus #penelope
