choicelesshope asked:

“ why are you doing this?! ” ( will to vecna? 👀 )

  “Why?… Why not? When this world is already in such shambles. Humanity, the virus that it is, has destroyed most of what was good in it. Forests? Gone. Animals? Most coming upon the brink of extinction, or soon to be.” His cold, pale blue eyes were trained on the other, focused on what he could see from that nearly innocent face. “Your kind deserves what is coming to them…”

he was no stranger to fear. many have been the years in which will had felt its ice-cold grasp grabbing him from the back of his neck—paralyzing every thought, every breath in him. a warning—i’m coming for you, there’s no escape.

yes, many have been the years he has feared a bigger threat, learned to look over his shoulder, prepare for the worst so that he would end up here. in front of him—a red sky, lightning in the distance. him—a sight new to him though he feels his presence has been always there. watching, whispering to him.

❝ but it can’t be the only way! ❞ he’s not gonna deny it, he knows of the damage his kind is capable of, he has it written all over his skin. ❝ there’s good out there! there are people that are good! you’re just gonna—tear it all up ‘cause some people chose to do mistakes?! ❞ and you’d guess screaming at something like him wouldn’t be the smartest thing to do—but it’s the only thing he can manage. feet planted in his place, his heart running at full speed. he’s scared, terrified even, but also enraged. done. tired of every second he has spent just surviving, marked by what happened three years ago.

for at least this time, he’s not gone hiding again.

May I also add: If the Phaeacian are introduced that mean Odysseus will regained Ithaca on their magic boats and we can also have a Full Speed Ahead callback 🤓☝️

Truly hope we will have the Phaeacian in Epic the musical. I know that technically we don't need them story-like because the Phaeacian arc is just Odysseus telling his story, story we already know because Epic tell us the Odyssey chronologically like, and also they serve as a kind of "magic solution" for Odysseus to get back to Ithaca. Jorge can use another solution for Ody to regain his island, like Hermes just dropping him here or something like that, and totally cut out the Phaeacian.

But I think the Phaeacian arc is important character-like for Odysseus development. This is the moment of the Odyssey where he gets back his identity as something to be proud of and something to reclaim what is rightfully his.

When Odysseus gave his full name to Polyphemus he kinda "lost" it, like fae style shit. After that moment he never presented himself again and only gods referred to him by his full name, other characters call him "Ody" or "Captain" (I'm speaking in the musical, I didn't checked all my Odyssey volumes to note all the references of Odysseus' name sorry). In the Phaeacian's Court Odysseus claim back is identity as he entered the "man's world" again and with it his honors as a greek hero and king.

I talk a lot but I just want a callback of Remember Them's lyrics because against the cyclop his name made him lose it all but with the Phaeacian his name make him gain it all 🥹.
