Penelope: I'm always going to love you Odysseus. No matter what you've done.

Odysseus: Cool and while we're on that topic don't go downstairs

Penelope: .....what did you do.

Odysseus: I think you know.

"Jimmy, the canary curse has been following you"

THIS IS IN CHARACTER TO ME! GRIAN IS TRYING TO WARN HIM THAT THE WATCHERS HAVE HIM MARKED! GRIAN IS WARNING HIM THAT THE WATCHERS WANT HIM GONE

Cannot express enough how much I love the Sub1Club this is three of my favorite blorbos all in one tiny hole in the mountain together. Also as always, I love a Mumbo Grian team up.

"Mumbo. Is the moon fast?"

And what if I cry, Grian.

The crazy thing to me about Eurylochus staging a mutiny is like... He's such a worse captain? Like this guy delivers shit call after shit call and then is all "How dare you" when Odysseus makes a hard decision that very well could have been the right one.

Like in the third song, he's like, "let's take 600 men and go raid this island and kill everything in our path." Then it's "let's kill the Cyclops and lock us all in his cave," and then when Odysseus is being all big brain and they are explicitly surrounded by Cyclops, he's like, fuck it, lets run for our lives actually.

And then mother fucker opens the wind bag when they're five minutes from home because he just routinely makes a habit of not trusting the guy who's like a brother to him.

And then he wants to leave the men on Circe's island. Just fuck those guys. And Odysseus says no actually those are my guys I'm gonna save them, and Eurylochus has a whole song bitching and moaning about please let's just screw those guys she's so scary.

And then as if that's not enough, Odysseus makes a call that you just know breaks his fucking heart, and Eurylochus, who has killed 567 men with his own curiosity, looks at the man who killed 6 out of necessity, and says "I could be a better captain than you."

And Odysseus forgives him. Until the very end he's begging Eurylochus to just listen. To just trust him. "We can get home." He doesn't plan to leave Eurylochus behind, he wants to get them both home. He doesn't abandon Eurylochus until it becomes either or. And even then he has the decency to feel sorry about it. To mourn him. To remember him as a brother and not a traitor.

Grian and Mumbo getting thwarted by fireworks is the funniest thing that's ever happened on the Life Series

Can't remember if I've said this already but DIVINE/GODKINS LISTEN UP

Go listen to Sleep Token. No, go do it.

This music makes me feel so connected to my kin it's not even funny.

It's like alternative rock/hardcore bangers but the have a few quieter ones too, so if alt rock isn't your speed, you still might like them.

(If you need recs: Rain, Ascensionism, Alkaline, Take Me Back to Eden, Is It Really You?)

I am not sorry for who Epic the Musical is making me. I am, however, a little sorry for subjecting you all to my madness.
