Mates, Luke is troubleshooting on Twitch, and apparently Teagan is on TikTok. It’s most definitely an internet issue since Luke is crunchy and frozen as I’m watching. Everyone please play nice, ever so kindly.
Nintendo my darling you’re getting a bit too confident with those prices why don’t you lower them and then we can talk?
The ending of mutiny kind of reminds me of “think mark, think!” From Invincible.
“These were Helios’ cattle, and now you’ve killed one! Who will Helios send??? Think Eurylochus, think!”
So…so unwell. An audience of shades we’d be.
Having the little pauses in Dangerous was great because not only does it leave the listener at home just vaguely hearing the chorus of Full Speed Ahead in their minds but you just know that if it was played on stage the audience quietly droning after Jorge would go fucking insane
“Six hundred men…six hundred deaths under my command, cause I had one goal in mind…”
The audience gently: “…make it back alive to our homeland…”
Like an echo of ghosts haunting him for his decisions in the back of his mind, the wind underneath his sails, the only thing Odyessus has left
A little reminder that Telemachus JUST got back from his diplomatic mission, found his home destroyed with bodies in the halls, got ATTACKED.
MET HIS FATHER THAT'S BEEN GONE FOR 20 YEARS?? HIS FATHER STARTS SPOUTING OUT THAT THE SUITORS WANTED TO KILL HIM AND VIOLATE HIS MOTHER??
HIS FATHER DECAPITATES A MAN. HIS FATHER DECAPITATES MULTIPLE MEN. HIS FATHER IS BACK :(((
I desperately need a rendition of “Survive” in Ithaka Saga’s song “King”. Let me hear Odysseus unleash his remaining rage and fury on the Suitors, the only things standing in between him and the end of his journey home.
Good theory👍
So
A friend mentioned to me that Poseidon's trumpets mimic Ares' instrument in 600 strike and that Ares might have blessed Ody in the moment (Shout-out @dysphanic-redshift) and asked me why I thought that might be
In the myths, as far as I remember, Ctimene is a Warrior of Ares, while Ody is Athena's Warrior. Since Ody was so close to being reunited with Ctimene, knowing Ares, there was no way Ares was going to let Poseidon interrupt the reunion of his Warrior and his sister's warrior, hence the blessing
Current lineup for favorite Ithaca Saga songs follows in this order if anyone wants to hear my opinion (if not that’s ok too)
Also spoilers technically⚠️
1. The Challenge - it’s just good. I have no comments, Penelope slays.
2. Odysseus - The suitor slaughter was done very well. It properly encapsulated how 100% done Odysseus is
3. Would You Fall In Love With Me Again - I sobbed hysterically. Need I say more.
4. I Can’t Help But Wonder - sobbed the first time. It’s a beautiful moment between father and son, and hey, welcome back, Athena.
5. Hold Them Down - Ayron slayed with that song but it’s really REALLY dark (which is good they didn’t stray away from the source material)
Please note I loved every song, it’s just that some of these will be out on endless repeat more than others.
2 days until Odysseus gets home
Suitor slaughter (tm)
(Fr though this painting is very nice)
Odysseus and Telemachus Slaughter the Suitors of Penelope
Greek mythos brainrot is so bad that Odysseus king of Ithaka can grow mushrooms using my neurons
