In honor of those who will always be in our hearts ✨
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 🥹.

Night Eyes (rottmnt au)
Part 1: ----- ----- .---- ----- .---- ----- ----- -----
(Thought I’d start posting the neye story here. This means internal dialogue and this whispering. My challenge for you is to decipher the chapter titles and figure out the hidden message. Have fun!)
Frantic breathes are heard under roaring wind. Ruble of a broken city is pushed to the side and a robotic eye scans the ruin.
???: You have to find it, you have to find it, you have to find it, you have to find it- ,,, have to find what? I don’t know just FIND IT
<CRACK>
Startled they scan the horizon. Krang. They get to their feet quickly.
???: SHELLDON.
SHELLDON: Yes, Master Donatello?
He flys along side Donnie as they quickly escape the area.
Don: Save coordinates 42.02’30” N, 71.50’30” W
SHELLDON: Coordinates saved. Running thorough scan of surrounding areas. Aaand downloading data now
Donnie slides down graveled rocks when he hears the ever so familiar sound of mechanics and Krang dogs. He ducks under a crumbled wall. A red light passes over head, and krang dogs growl. He stays silent until they pass. He moves quick and silent as he nears his exit.
He looks in all directions before lifting up a trap door. He slides in with SHELLDON by his side. The hallway stretches on for a while. The walk back to his base is coated in a heavy scent of displeasure.
The hallway opens up to a small room. To his right and left two more tunnels and in front a door. He pushes it open. It’s dark. He flips a switch and purple lights engulf the room. The screens shine and further bring out the shadowy corners.
Donnie plops down in his chair. He sighs and rubs his face.
Don: SHELLDON, start new recording.
=recording now=
Don: ….. Day,,, 1,105. The pursuit of- whatever i was looking for was not a success. No new findings and nothing out of the ordinary. I was cut short by the arrival of Krang scouts. Maybe next time.
Donnie pushes his chair across the room. He picks up a mug as he reaches the sink. The handle is turned and the faucet sprays out drops of water before going dry.
Don: tsk. Out of water. I’ll have to fill the reservoir again. SHELLDON add that to my “important to-do list” please.
SHELLDON: you’ve got it Donnie.
Donnie slides across the room to his computers.
Don: thank you. (To recording) I’ll be digging in the third tunnel tomorrow. Hopefully I’ll be able to reach my third point by the next heat cycle. That’s how i can tell the years here. The first three months cool, then it warms up in the middle months. It’s never gone over 125F. In the later months it’s monsoon season, only it’s boiling acid from the sky. I’m just lucky that the earth is coated in a sort of acid resistant, lipid bilayer.
Donnie types into his computer. Reorganizing plots and crossing off areas. He sighs.
Don: No sign of you yet. It’s been 3 years. I’ll find you.
=recording ended=
Don: SHELLDON you may recharge now.
SHELLDON: Alright! Night night Donnie.
Don: Good night.
He looks back over his monitors.
Don: Somethings not right here
He squints at the screens. He knows there’s something missing but what is it?
With growing frustration, he closes the tab.
Beep beep beep
Donnie slides down his desk to another monitor. Using Krang matter he was able to conjure up a tracker around this area. A small group of Krang are passing by in the east. Nothing serious.
It’s getting late and there’s a lot to do tomorrow. Donnie gets up and walks to the door. He turns the lights out on his way into his bedroom. His appetite was gone so there’s no point in trying to find anything. He knows what’s in his own fridge.
Lazily he takes off his prosthetic leg and swings himself into his bed. Pulling his sheets up to his chin. He left his robotic arms on. They are uncomfortable to sleep in but it’s easier to put his leg back on when he actually has hands.
He settles down and stares up at his ceiling.
Don: Good night brothers. Good night April. Wherever you are.

Okay, after listening to thunder bringer on repeat for the past couple of days I can officially say that I now understand all those people that willingly slept with zeus in Greek mythology.
Also, suffering and different beast are fucking awesome. I listened to the whole musical so far during a lesson today and those two stood out to me bc I liked them so much.
Current top 5 epic songs in no particular order:
Thunder bringer
Wouldn't you like
No longer you
Remember them
Open arms
No crime was EVER committed
How many more innocent lives have to be lost, they were all dreamers, friends, family, people with so much in front of them!!!! We can’t ever let Israel forget what they’ve done.
How could anyone support the loss of so much life?!
The names of 11, 500 children killed by Israeli forces as of February 2024!
