Lotus Eaters - Tumblr Posts
This is me being on my EPIC brain rot, I'll go back to HatchetField at some point. ANYWAYS
So in Jorge's newest TikTok video he gave us a hint on who is animating legendary. A lot of people think it's Gigi due to the hint being "omnomnomnom" and her just finishing Scylla. But I believe it's referring to the lotus eaters and either Mircsy or El_Crafts who animate it.
I SPECIFICALLY BELIEVE ITS REFERRING TO THE LOTUS EATERS BECAUSE OF THE ONE GUY WHO GOES " om nom nom nom " IN OPEN ARMS. ITS SUCH A SMALL PART AND VOICE BUT THAT'S WHAT I BELIEVE.
I also think it can't be WolfyTheWitch because they commented on Jay's reference video for Legendary. And I believe Gigi is gonna animate the God Games.
That's just me thinking, tell me what y'all think 😇
I WAS RIGHT. I TOLD YOU IT WOULD BE EL_CRAFTS. IM SO AHHHHHH
IT WAS LITERALLY SO GOOD

Call me a lotus-eater cause I'm about to deflower your girl
So about The Odyssey and the musical
I've been seeing that artists are portraying the lotus eaters as cute little animals, and I like it, they're adorable, but I think it defeats the purpose. If they look like animals, they're disconnected from Odysseus and his men. But if they're just humans trapped because of the lotus fruit, it's very clear that him and everyone are just one bite away from becoming one of them.
I was digging my old drawings and found these little guys; the idea I think was for them to be related with fitoclimatic classification of Allué (biogeography nerd) and ended up drawing three.
That was the Original Idea.....
Nlw for me they look like Winions!
The first is a new born winion
The second is a lotus eater
The third is an Aeolus companion (the hat is a lotus husk , hehehe)
I just realised that lotus eaters is just mom not knowing how to answer her phone
What was your inspiration to have the beginning of lotus eaters play at the end of cosmos? (Noticed on Spotify) Are those to songs more connected to each other than the other ones?
Yes! Actually, I think of "cosmos" as like an intro to "lotus eaters" . A part of me wanted to release them together as one track, but I personally prefer when songs like that give you the option to listen to each separately.
As for why, "cosmos" is about healing from my dad's unexpected death & finding the will to go on. My dad dealt with addiction and it is ultimately what ended his life; and I've definitely inherited those addictive genes.
"lotus eaters" is about the double-edged sword of addictions and indulgence. My first instinct is always to numb my pain rather than face it; which feels good for a while, but will ultimately keep me from growing and moving on from whatever was causing the pain to begin with. That's actually why "voodoo doll" is the song that follows.
Since it's related to the meaning of the Three of Swords, "voodoo doll" is about experiencing heartbreak for the first time and realizing the pain was necessary to grow.
