Ouch, right in the feels!!

What's your take on Odysseus's trauma and recovery back in Ithaca?

*looks at all the comics I made*

Lol but really, I realistically expect it to be severely rocky. He’ll have good days, mostly bad days, but what keeps him grounded is of course his family, you know?

But imagine losing your entire fleet under your command...

...only to come back to an entire population of thousands of people, expecting that you will lead them.

What if he fails again?

I know people really like disheveled Odysseus but like, wouldn't it be worse if during his stay at calypso's island he's the most cleaned up and groomed he's ever been during his voyage. His hair is long and silky smooth, his beard is trimmed, his clothes are pristine and hang nicely from his body. Calypso treats him like a prized possession, and how could she possibly let it (her pet? her toy?) get unkempt and scruffy? Idk something about him having a complete lack of agency and no choice in even the way he looks and his stay in a supposed paradise reflecting on his person

Is Odysseus going to be naked during the Ithaca saga in your animatics

why of course

I also like to think that when Athena pleaded with Aphrodite for Odysseus, literally pleaded, she noticed that there was love there. I think that she was going to really reconsider it even before Ares came

Random EPIC thoughts again!! At this point I'm making this a tag lmao

I adore how in God Games, the one who actually stymies Athena for even a moment is Aphrodite

Like she's forced to pull out quick thought for her

Because the line Aphrodite leaves her with is the same thing Athena abandoned Odysseus for??? Like she has no answer to the accusation that he spited the cyclops, so all she can do is buy time and beg her to reconsider

Fortunately for her, Ares, in all his rage and madness, gives her the answer by bringing up Telemachus.

A broken heart can mend. After all, thanks to Telemachus, hers has.

Being a fan of Epic is wild since one of the most fun and upbeat songs of the entire musical is literally called “Suffering”.

That’s it that’s the news.

Tony has been told his whole life that he’s selfish, narcissistic, not the type of person to lay down on the wire to let another person cross, not worthy of being a hero, nothing without his suit, overall a ‘bad person’. I think it would mean the world if someone he thought highly of (Peter) (the epitome of pure intentions, integrity, and love) was certain he was good too.

I wouldn’t think Tony’s usually told that he’s good. I think he would know it partly, because he’s not an idiot; he KNOWS he’s done good, but he would think he has done just as much bad. Realistically, I think a sentence with the words ‘you’ and ‘a good person’ is something he needs to hear.
