Mates, Let’s Show Our Captain As Much Support As We Can 💙🩵💙

The way it ends with Odysseus going "Well, that was it. My journey. Or should I say...Odyssey. Heh, I like the sound of that." ???? UUUUUGGHHH this musical is soooo goood

So I might be SUPER late to the party, but as I was once again listening to the entirety of Epic, it has dawned on me that Zeus’ “he will burn your house and home…” in The Horse and the Infant has the SAME EXACT MELODY as Siren Penelope’s “he will chase you high and low so find a place he’d never go…” in Suffering.

Jorge is a musical genius and I am going absolutely bonkers. Have a wonderful day.

So…so unwell. An audience of shades we’d be.

Having the little pauses in Dangerous was great because not only does it leave the listener at home just vaguely hearing the chorus of Full Speed Ahead in their minds but you just know that if it was played on stage the audience quietly droning after Jorge would go fucking insane

“Six hundred men…six hundred deaths under my command, cause I had one goal in mind…”

The audience gently: “…make it back alive to our homeland…”

Like an echo of ghosts haunting him for his decisions in the back of his mind, the wind underneath his sails, the only thing Odyessus has left

SO LISTENING TO CHARYBDIS

WHEN ODY CLEARS CHARYBDIS’ WHIRLPOOL AND HES TALKING ABOUT HOME

IT RESEMBLES TIRESEAS’ “TIME IVE UNLOCKED IT”

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

The scariest thing this Halloween is our main man Odysseus in 600 Strike that’s all I’m saying.

THIS GOES CRAZYYYYYYY

I haven't really seen anyone talk about this, which could simply mean I'm not chronically online enough, BUT let's point out a particularly chilling parallel I recently noticed in Epic: The Musical.

So, in the Circe Saga, we open up with the lovely song Puppeteer. We've talked about it, we've fawned over it, we all know every word to this song, I'm sure. But as I was listening to it last night (woohoo, statistics homework), a few lines stuck out to me that hadn't really before. Eurylochus is trying to convince Odysseus to just pack up and leave, and Ody replies with,

"Of course I'd like to leave now. Of course I'd like to run. But I can hardly sleep now, knowing everything we've done."

Which, you know, makes sense. Our guys have been at war for 10 whole years, at the conclusion of which our boy Ody drops an infant off a wall. But then, much later, comes 600 Strike (another banger of a song). And what is the exchange at the end of this song?

"After everything you've done, how will you sleep at night?"

"Next to my wife."

Like.

Bro.

That line went hard regardless of literally anything else when I first listened to the song, but now taking in the greater context of the whole musical? The fact that Odysseus himself at one point spoke of how he could hardly sleep because of his actions?? And is now so far off the deep end that it doesn't even cross his mind anymore???

I just about lost my ever-loving MIND last night when it all hit me. Anyways, here's my small contribution to the fandom.

You’ve heard of Chekhov’s gun now get ready for Chekhov’s Wind Bag

Hey, hello! I Purity Amira and I am really sorry for sending this, I just hope I’m not overstepping any boundaries as I’m about to ask help which is very important right now. Our cat Sleepy requires an urgent medical attention from the veterinarian. She is experiencing pain and I don’t have the money to take her to the vet to help her. so, I am asking for help from any well-wisher. Even if you can’t spare some money to help, reposting the link would be of great help. She helps me in taking care of my daughter since they are best friend and she is my only close relation with mom since my mom died last year 2021. If you would be interested to help, I have Pinned the post on my blog, please you can try reply to the ask privately as well because some people like getting creepy over this matter. We are alright, pray for us, please. ♥️🙏

Unfortunately I am very broke, but I will keep your cat in prayer

Found this on Pinterest and I think it does a really good job explaining what it’s like listening to Epic in full.
