things i love about epic the musical that make me laugh or cry (or both) so far

Eurylochus: 'Captain we're literally starving what do we do'

Odysseus: 'wow those are some cool birds'

Athena's piano leitmotif

Athena singing the lyrics 'Warrior of the mind' in one continuous tone at the begining, Odysseus joining in with a staggered tone, then both sing in that staggered tone

Athena returning to that continuous tone when singing 'This is my goodbye'

'We're gonna shoot for the sky' 'What???'

Poseidon. thats it, just his existence

Athena's leitmotif playing when Poseidon sings 'So close your heart, The world is dark and ruthlessness is mercy'

'A woman' 'What???'

'All i did was reveal their true forms' '... you turned them into pigs' 'lOL'

Odysseus's dead crew chanting 'Why would you let the cyclops live?'

'I see your palace covered in red, Faces of men who had long believed you're dead, I see you're wife with a man who is haunting, A man with a trail of bodies' <- actual chills I cant even describe how this part makes me feel

Odysseus screaming ' W H O ? '

are we just going to ignore that 'when the drumbot misses his first beat' COULD BE ABOUT HIS HEART?? NOT HIS DRUMS????

had this revalation and had to write something about it immediantly, this is just the intro the rest is on a03

The drumbot knows exactly what it means when he pauses for a moment, breath hitched in synthetic lungs. He knows exactly what it means when he realises the absence of the ever present beat in his chest, the only thing really keeping him tied to his soul. It is only a beat, one beat, one second. Yet it is one beat that is missed. He knows he is dying, that his heart will slow, and in the end? He'll be left a metal husk, no longer even a shell of the man he once was, for he'd lost that long ago. It was only a matter of time really, all things must end. A heart can only take so much.

He considered the violent and fiery deaths that would become of those he called friends, their mechanisms failing them once and for all. Engineered lungs scorched by blackened fumes, wires ripped and torn from cybernetic wings, biomechanical heart pierced straight through, robotic eyes shattered, synthetic brain deprived of its precious oxygen, bionic arm ripped from its socket, wooden body abandoned by the soul.

All pointless, all inevitable. All deaths that amounted to nothing, and he was sure his would be the same.

New head canon alert (from me? Shocking I know): fleshman brian was a chubby guy, yk being a doctor, brining people back from the dead, definitely not against buying peoples first born sons and draining them of their family fortune ect ect, so he was probably making heaps of money and could afford eat well. The first body built for him by dr carmilla was relatively slim and he did not like that like sorry this is a whole other persons body?? (also the shock of waking up a robot probably didn’t help either) and in the end she has to build a new, larger body as skinnybot brian just refuses to function at times

In closing; congrats dr carmilla, you have accidentally almost engineered gender/body dysphoria in a robot

#TJ talks #drumbot brian #dr carmilla #the mechanisms #the mechs #the mechanisms band #am i projecting? yes. yes i am. will i continue to do so? yes. yes i will #do i just really love seeing brian drawn as a larger guy? yes. yes i do #i have in my head that the place where brian was doing all his doctoring stuff was kind of medieval ish #and like he was the fancy guy who had enough money to buy cuts of meat snd stuff

drumbot brian nation i offer you this in these trying times (me i am drumbot brian nation.) Click for better quality! + alt version below the cut

The name engraved upon its chest was read by the townsfolk as "MERLIN." None could know that time and rust had worn away what it originally read, which was "BRIAN."
