So. Obviously The Luck Runs Out References In Mutiny Are Heartbreaking And Fantastic.

So. Obviously the Luck Runs Out references in Mutiny are heartbreaking and fantastic.

But I think the song was also setting up some parallels with Puppeteer.

Puppeteer: "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." Mutiny: "Don't make me fight you, brother, you know you'd have done the same!"

And the thing is, Eurylochus would have done the same. Earlier in the story. During Puppeteer, he wanted to run. He wanted to abandon his men. And Odysseus was the one to fight for their crew. And it worked!! They got out! Odysseus gave them a shred of hope and got them out of an impossible situation! So Eurylochus learns from that. He grows and changes. He becomes someone who refuses to leave his men at the mercy of a monster. Unfortunately, this was around the same time that Odysseus decided to become the monster.

That's the tragedy of it all; they both change, and they're still at odds! Eurylochus is throwing Odysseus's own past heroic decisions back at him. Odysseus retaliates by reminding Eurylochus of his own past cowardice. They don't know each other anymore!! They're two desperate people trying to make the best decisions they can, and they just keep getting people hurt, and they're both so tired.

Puppeteer: "I've got all the power, yeah, I've got all the power-" Mutiny: "If you want all the power, you must carry all the blame!"

In a way, the Eurylochus vs Odysseus conflict parallels the Odysseus vs Circe conflict. And the Circe Saga ended with Odysseus at Circe's mercy as he begged her to let them leave. The Thunder Saga ended with Eurylochus and the crew at Odysseus's mercy, with "Captain? ... But we'll die." Circe spared Odysseus. Odysseus chose to let his men die. He's come full circle, paralleling the enemy he once faced, and then going further than she did.

Does any of that make sense? I don't know, it's almost two in the morning. Anyways, the Thunder Saga ripped out my heart and I'm obsessed with the tragic humanity of all of it!!!

OKAY SO THE FIRST ANIMATIC FOR DIFFERNET BEAST JUST DROPPED AN HOUR AGO WHICH meANs thtat all SONGS have animatics now (can you see how excited i am about this, ive been waiting for the past 10 days for each song to get at least one animatic) I already added it to my playlists :D :D :D

OMG YES YES YES I'LL GO WATCH IT !!! KAKDKSKKSNSJSJSJSJ

Going to the beach for a few days so here's a couple of things I'll be on the lookout for:

Scary water

My real wife ( she knows I'm not actually scared of the water )

My daughter ( do I even have one ? Not sure)

People suffering trying to float the whole time ( I can take the suffering from them)

People on the run from , I don't know , Poseidon ?

The lair of Scylla ( but I'm broke so I don't really know if I can pay the cost)

Shy and terrified sailors who'd die for me but I can't let them stay dry

Thunderstorms

Places Poseidon is scared to roam ( I wanna sail there, it feels like a good idea )

Sirens giving out directions to evade the god of the sea ( I kinda have a beef with him, you don't want to know)

Greeks who reek of false righteousness ( I'm not even going to Greece but I just hate those people )

what if im not medically depressed what if im just a massive lazy cunt and big loser

Whos your favorite Epic animator? 👀

Ill also take a list of people and the specifics you like in character designs; animation choices, story portayl choices, fav animatic for each song etc etc etc whatever you want to share 👉👈

Mmmh I think I might disappoint you with this one because I don't really watch animatics rip

I do think that they are glorious and amazing and mesmerizing but I just never ended up watching any for epic I guess

BUT I did happen to watch an animatic of keep your friends closer by Gigi and I ADORED IT

The way Aeolus was just being playful and floating around on her little cloud kakskkssn and also Ody in general, his expressions and his face I just really really liked his design

( I feel like you might know a bit more than me about animatics so can I ask you what I should watch ? I feel like I'm missing out now hahha )

YAY TO HUMAN INTERACTION

So ummm, favorite song? (Apologies Im pretty sure my brain can only come up with Epic rn, the Thunder has fried my brain)

Girl I get it I've been listening to the thunder saga every day ever since it came out I've never been so obsessed akdkskkansnnskaksakak consider my brain FRIED

I love all the songs obviously but of I had to choose one from this saga it'd be Suffering. There's something about it that makes it play again and again in my brain

If we're talking about a favourite song that isn't from a musical I'm kinda at a loss because I don't have one favorite song, I normally obsees over some songs for a while until I have listened to them so much I hate them. Before the thunder saga took over I'm pretty sure I was obsessed with average by sushi soucy. and big girl words by honey ironic. and don't ever stop running by Maggie Jean Martin
