Been Playing A LOT Of Stardew Recently And Thinking About EPIC So Here Is Poseidon As A Stardew Pixel

"Astynax (the infant) was quiet and didn't cry when Odysseus was holding him and was even smiling and reaching out for him, because Odysseus was wearing his helmet, so he must have thought it was his father, Hector, picking him up."

Me after reading this take:

"Odysseus" showed us how much Ody has truly changed.

He's compared to almost all monsters in the musical during that one song.

His name's chanting is the same as Polyphemus', and he acts a little like him when he decides to kill everyone.

Po - ly - phe - mus ("Enough")

O - dy - sse - us ("I. Have had. Enough")

He aims for the torches just like Scylla.

"Eurylochus, light up six torches"

"Keep your head down he's aiming for the torches"

He rejected forgivness just like Poseidon did.

"Maybe you could learn to forgive..."

"No"

"Old king our leader's dead. You've destroyed the serpent's head. Now the rest of us are no longer a threat. Old king forgive us instead, so that no more blood is shed. Let's have open arms instead!"

"No."

Also, there's an electric guitar in the song. It represents Odysseus' cunning and ruthless nature.

He IS a monster. But that's what got him home. And he'll embrace this side of him.

I DID ITTTTTT

Also have bonus drawing of what would happen if Odysseus ate a stardrop fruit:

Okay so I've been playing stardew valley for the first time.

For the past few days, I've had the game music practically muted because I was listening to the EPIC soundtrack. I just turned it back on today, and heard the Ginger Island music for the first time.

My first thought was "Open Arms" TELL ME WHY I'VE NEVER THOUGHT ABOUT THE PARALLELS BEFORE WITH THE JUNIMOS AND THE WINIONS!!

I'M IMAGINING ODYSSEUS PICKING ONE UP AND BEING LIKE "look at the way this fruit is glowing-" obsessed and may draw about this later.

(The glowing fruit could also be the stardrops AHHHHH)

Too bad the prophet Cassandra never met Odysseus

THOUGHTS ON HADESTOWN COMING SOON BECAUSE OMG I LOVE THIS MASTERPIECE SO MUCH AND I FINALLY SAW IT, SOMEHOW DID NOT CRY AND HAVE MADE IT OUT ALIVE IN ORDER TO TELL THE PEOPLE WHAT I LEARNED

"Dangerous" is stuck in my head today just because of the downright GLEEFUL way hermes sings ✨like the blood your hands have known, I know- ✨ he's so teehee

unpopular opinion but i think a ship that's not canon but both halves are canonically insane about each other is infinitely better than a ship that's canon and boring

Some lil guys I drew (and created!) based on some very pretty earrings I saw:

odysseus: there’s no length i wouldn’t go, if it was you i had to save! i can only hope you’d do the same

eurylochus: *literally having a fucking panic attack*
