i love that it's gonna be me is in your primehood playlist!
do you have chars that you would put in a 'my superboy prime variants'? like that twitter trend? for me he has strong jiro momotani from avataro sentai donbrothers vibes so i'd love to hear your own picks!!
I love It's Gonna Be Me by *NSYNC. My dark horse pick of a song to represent them, I'm sure.
Prime variants... I tried very hard to think of some:
Gwenpool, obviously.
Denji from Chainsaw Man, but that's just because Denji is a Superboy variant in general.
Jason Todd... according to Prime himself. Sorry, I had to add it!
Holden Caulfield from The Catcher in the Rye, in a way. He's more like Jason, but Jason is a lot like Prime, so, you know.
Wow... I'm really bad at this! All I can think of is Superman and Supergirl, but that's obvious, right...?
This might be a bit of a crazy choice... but Kanato Sakamaki from Diabolik Lovers. Yeah. I know. Sorry. Don't leave...! His mood swings and his intense need for love and affection makes me think of Prime.
Robo-Ky from Guilty Gear. Uhhh. I don't really have strong reasoning for this. You just gotta trust me.
Ugh... I wish I could've given you better answers. You had such an interesting question and I feel like I fumbled it! Maybe I'll think about it more...
The reason why the Telemachy isn’t included in Epic the musical (at least, the Wisdom Saga. I’m not sure if the lyrics of Hold Them Down will be changed), is simple.
Telemachus went to Pylos and Sparta seeking his father’s whereabouts. He learned that Odysseus were stuck on Ogygia from Menelaus, who had heard from Proteus. This part is of course changed into Athena’s time dive in Love In Paradise. So, it’s not for Telemachus to find out. It is different from the Odyssey while still serves the purpose of locating Odysseus. (And having Athena as the one to find out makes more sense in Epic, since she is the one who hasn’t been updated on Epic since the Cyclops Saga)
Another thing to think about is the role of Nestor and Menelaus in the Odyssey. They’re like an anchor between the Iliad and the Odyssey, filling in the knowledge of the return of those heroes we care about. It’s just like Odysseus’s meeting with Agamemnon, Achilles, and Ajax in the Underworld. Meanwhile, these heroes are only mentioned one line each in The Horse and the Infant. That is because they do not serve as part of Odysseus’s journey. And Epic is about Odysseus’s journey, not just the exterior but the inner one as well.
So, the Underworld Saga chooses to focus on Polites, Anticleia, Teiresias, and Odysseus himself, instead of having other heroes and famous women showing up. After all, it’s a musical. It’s those who can affect Odysseus’s decisions that’ll be introduced. It’s the same for the Wisdom Saga: Nestor’s and Menelaus’s yapping will only defocus the musical itself. So, the Telemachy is cut from the Wisdom Saga.
At the end of the day, it’s always good to remember that one should not expect to have everything in a musical. Epic has already made sacrifices like Ismarus and now Telemachy to get the story delivered musically. It simply cannot have everything as some are always expecting (partially due to the 40-song length restriction). Maybe things will be different if Jay decides to release songs that sever as DLCs for Epic. Maybe things will be different if Jay decides to go by his original idea of starting the musical with the Iliad, which will certainly brings the Trojan War into focus. But for now—I’ll just blast Little Wolf in my ears while simping Telestratus ship as one always should, because why not?

Harbinger…
It was a word, a darkly whispered title, that haunted your dreams at night. Images— that seemed almost tangible enough to be called memories— filling your mind, but it only ever caused more confusion once you awoke.
After all there was no way in hell you were the Right Hand to an ethereal being that was older than you could ever imagine.
You weren’t ever anyone of note— even being a Detective in the Briar Glen Police Department— always passing through life on the aftershocks of those around you. You couldn’t imagine, least of all see yourself being, someone of such importance.
Dreams of sweet smelling meadows, bell-like laughter, and the overwhelming feeling of safety quickly turn to nightmares of snarling beasts; whose burning red eyes promise nothing but death. The change, while horrifying in its intensity, was chalked up to nothing but your brain ruining a good thing— as it usually did.
That is until bodies start piling up within Briar Glen— bodies that have been torn to shreds by an animal that could never be from the forests surrounding your sleepy town.
It was only when you saw the symbol— carved into the hand of the latest victim— that you truly realize that your dreams, your nightmares, weren’t what they originally appeared to be.
They were warnings of what is to come.
Play as an MC that has no idea about the life they used to have. Will you be able to become the Harbinger once more? Or will your new form hinder who you’ve always been?
Customizable MC: name, gender, sexuality, appearance, hobbies (some), and skills.
Fight the incoming darkness that not only threatens the people of Briar Glen but the world as you know it.
Reincarnation is a fickle thing— will you be able to manage the intricacies of it?
Romance 1 of 6 ROs! (Some of which will be marked with a red flag symbol as a forewarning to you all.)
Will you be able to put together the pieces of your past life? What happened to you? Or will everything shatter before you’re ever able to grasp the pieces of those memories?
Be ready, Harbinger. You’ll need every weapon in your arsenal if you wish to survive.
Aelius [M] - The Lord 🚩
1000+ [6’6” | Slate Gray Eyes | Onyx Black Hair]
The God of the Sun— and all that falls under such a domain— and one of your old Commanders. While he’s much softer than his sister— there’s still a dangerous aura lurking just beneath his sparkling smile. Every time you grow near you’re reminded of Icarus and how he, much like you, flew way too close to the sun.
“I’ve missed you, my dear Harbinger. I don’t think I’ll be able to let you slip through my fingers again.”
Céline [F] - The Lady 🚩
1000+ [6’4” | Crystalline Blue-Green Eyes | Golden White Hair]
The Goddess of the Moon— and all that falls under such a domain— and one of your old Commanders. With a cold air, stoic persona, and unwavering confidence, the Goddess isn’t someone that’s easy to get close to. You, however, always caused a soft spot to form in the wall of ice that surrounds her heart.
“Dearest Harbinger… did you really think that Death would stop me from finding you again? I’d tear this world apart if it meant keeping you, surely you know that.”
Gabriel [M] - The Warrior
500+ [6’0” | Hazel Eyes | Light Brown Hair]
A man that’s forever stood in the background of Céline. Forever at her side, doing whatever she commanded, without wavering. Silence is the solitude that he knows and understands. Will you ever be able to get him to break it? Will you find the man that’s hidden behind years of duty? Find a person behind the warrior?
“My life will always belong to Céline, Harbinger…. My heart, however? Will always belong to you if you’ll have it.”
Natasha [F] - The Guardian
500+ [5’4” | Forest Green Eyes | Golden Brown Hair]
Just as Gabriel was forever by Celine’s side, Natasha was rarely ever away from Aelius. With kind eyes, a gentle smile and demeanor, you’d never expect that she’d be considered one of the most dangerous amongst his army— following his orders with a ruthless precision. Will you help her find something worth living for besides her duty to Aelius?
“You’ve let me see many things clearly, Harbinger. For that I don’t think I’ll ever be able to thank you enough. I hope my love, and my devotion, will be a good start.”
Gray/Grace [M/F] - The Partner
32 [5’8” | Light Brown Eyes | Dark Brown Hair]
The one person that seems like a calming anchor within the hellish whirlwind that has become your life. Your best friend, and the only person that’s ever truly believed in you, doesn’t truly understand what it is that you’re doing— or fighting against— but they’d never hesitate in backing you up. Will something more grow between you both because of it?
“Loving you… it just feels right. Like I finally know how to stand on solid ground again.”
Damien/Diana [M/F] - The Criminal 🚩
33 [5’11” | Sapphire Blue Eyes | Dark Auburn Hair]
Granted employing the help of an elusive criminal— although they’ve never actually been caught— isn’t your smartest idea, but when you need to get into the criminal underbelly of Briar Glen there’s no one better you can think of. With a flirtatious smile, cocky attitude, and penchant for violence, you’re certainly going to have your hands full with them. Will you end up getting something else from your time together too?
“At first I wasn’t sure you were worth my time. In fact I was close to killing you, but I’m glad that I didn’t. I quite like you, Detective. More than I have ever liked anyone. You should feel lucky.”
plsssss literally. sebastian living the y/n "im not like other girls" life that gets dragged by his friends (in this case daughter) to a show and like, reads a book in the crowd lmfao
Going back to Ro as kids, how would they react if they saw some kids bullying the MC (or in the case of Quinn and Roga, MC coming out to defend them)?
If they are abusing mc physically, then Atin would totally run there and start beating them up (the bullies, not the mc lol). They would fight them until either they run away or a teacher comes to separate them. They would probably end up in the principal’s office, grinning ear to ear through a bleeding nose and a black-eye :D And later when Atin’s father comes to pick them up, he would tell them that they did good.
Did I mention that Roga was an annoying brat? Because Roga was an annoying brat 😂 So if mc comes there to defend them and chase the bullies away, Roga would still be grumpy at mc and tell them to piss off and mind their own business. It would likely be Quinn who goes there to the disappointed mc and apologises for Roga. Then maybe the next day, after Roga got an earful from their parents (because Quinn totally did tell on them), they would approach mc in a shy way, heavily blushing and mumble “sorry and thanks for yesterday” and then run away.
Quinn would be completely flabbergasted because other kids usually either pick on them or just ignore the bullying. So after mc chases the bullies away, Quinn would probably start sobbing because of how overwhelmed they are from the whole situation. They would need like half an hour to calm down and from that point on, Quinn would totally have a crush on mc 😏
Don't you EVER! apologize for drawing Farah! My god your version of her is so 😭😭😭 I LOVE HER! and your art.
