Okay I don’t know who originally posted about it but they have infected me with this little piece of info.

Why does Eurylochus not ever help Odysseus? Like he’s constantly questioning his orders, (for example, in Remember Them he’s trying to run from the other cyclops and not even considering that Odysseus has planned for this) or challenging him in front of the crew (not just in Luck Runs Out either, in Full Speed Ahead he argues with Odysseus about him and Polites going ahead) Eurylochus is near constantly arguing with Odysseus.

And furthermore, why was he not helping Odysseus with the bag in Keep Your Friends Close? Why did Odysseus have to stay awake for nine days? Why was Eurylochus not helping him?

If polities was alive, that shit would’ve never happened! Odysseus would’ve gotten the help he needed!

But NO, we got Eurylochus, the asshole.

I have fallen into Epic:the Musical hell and the lack of Hermes and Odysseus fics is appalling. There are none. None. Not one and I’m so upset about it. I’m not a writer but istg I’m gonna fix it myself if someone else doesn’t and it’s gonna be awful.

I swear to the gods I’m about to

I’m in SHAMBLES

Echos Act 2 Week 1 spoilers below

Why does Bungie bully the old gay men?! “YOUR OSIRIS?”?!?!?! REALLY?!?!?! The identity crisis was bad enough but to realize he was RIGHT? That hurts.

This relationship was already riddled with lies from Savathun. Now this? Really Bungie?!You want us dead?! The worst fucking part is I have read fanfics with the tablet version. That is what I know. To know that isn’t what Saint remembers? It’s killing me.

And the worst part is I personally think Osiris knew. He is all about the fact that it doesn’t matter (and good cause they’ve had enough angst, let the old men be happy) but it’s the tiniest but much. They are fundamentally the same, but there are little differences.

I wonder if Osiris knew the Saint we pulled out wasn’t the ‘real’ Saint. I wonder if he purposefully ignored or even flat out lied about the little differences in experiences if Saint brought them up. I wonder if that’s why he took so long to talk to Saint after we pulled him out of the Infinite Forest (as far as I am aware, please correct me if I’m wrong). Because he had to come to terms with the fact that ‘his Saint’ was dead. Really dead. and now Saint has to do the same.

However it’s objectively worse for Saint. Yes, Osiris had to come to terms with ‘his Saint’ being dead. Saint has to come to terms with the death of his entire reality. Again I wonder if he ever mentioned something in a conversation with someone and the other person didn’t remember. Ikora. Zavala. Shaxx. Things he distinctly remembers, but for the others it was just a little to the left, or even didn’t happen at all.

That shit is going to keep me up at night. Food for thought.

ECHOS: ACT II WEEK 3 SPOILERS

BUNGIEEEEEE!!! You really had to traumatize them MORE?!?! Jesus mother fucking CHRIST!

OSIRIS STOPPED SAINT. ACTUALLY EXPLAINED HIS FEARS LIKE A EMOTIONALLY HEALTHY PERSON! AND YOU STILL FUCKED THEM UP?!?!

The devastation in Osiris’ voice as Saint is recalling what he felt as the other him died, the vulnerability in it… I am unwell. He sounded like he was gonna cry. CRY LIKE ME RIGHT NOW!!!

Bungie, as much as I hate you for that. The reveal cutscene only made it worse.

I know we were supposed to be shocked at Maya or whatever but all I could see was the fear in Osiris’ eyes. The fear when Saint fell. The fear when he wouldn’t get up. How desperately he was trying to comfort Saint, despite not knowing if he was being taken over. Again. Then the snap to us of “Get us out of here, now!” UUUUGGGGHHHHH!!!!

Just realized, every hero has a right to go villain. Some more than others, of course, but to be a “hero” you have to go through some sort of trauma, those are the rules. And the one thing that defines the difference between a hero and the villain is how they react to that, right? So in essence, every hero has a right to go villain.
