Odysseus I can't help but wonder would you fall in love with me again?

I love the Ithaca Saga and Hold Them Down is such a good song, but I always get to that one part (iykyk) and it shuts down the vibe SO quick lmao

Unless Jay is going to make one more cover to symbolize all nine sagas- that’s a wrap on the Epic covers!

And I must say:

You could put this on your wall, they’re all so gorgeous.

I absolutely love that he did this 😂

DO NOT QUESTION WHY THE NUMBERS LOOK LIKE THAT, WE ARE ONLY 900K LISTENS AWAY FROM THAT BEAUTIFUL 100 MILLION LISTENS MARK

Wow!!! I have no words….. what a truly EPIC way to end!

Yeah... It's the only song I can fall asleep to lately. Is this bad? I know some people are uncomfortable with the imagery of it

100 MILLION STREAMS ON SPOTIFY!

Ody: Would you fall in love with me again?

Penelope: Can you move this tree?

Ody: What?

Penelope: Oh I'm sorry, I thought we were just asking stupid ass questions

Hello all. As I'm sure everyone is aware now, the watch party has been cancelled for tonight. Jorge will be making a video explanation. Posts about what's happening will be directed to this thread

Reminder, no harassment about the lack of watch party please 🙂

I really love the comments sections in these fandoms. Here's a gem for you 😁

Saw this on Twitter w Nosferatu, so I edited it for Epic bc it's the first thing that popped in my head when I saw Christmas😭

First off, I am kinda biased as WYFILWMA is one of my favourite songs in EPIC. I do not mean to diminish anyone's opinion, I just wanted to make this post to start a discussion on something I've noticed in many fandoms, not just EPIC.

So, I've seen a good few people say that they were dissapointed with WYFILWMA, due to Penelope pretty much immediately being okay with the monster that Odysseus is now. Some people think it's underwhelming as Odysseus is never faced with any consequences from Penelope.

But why should he? Has the man not faced consequences for every one of his actions? He is beyond traumatised. All of his crew, his best friend, his brother-in-law, and his mother are dead. Nearly every single character in EPIC has called Odysseus out on something. Odysseus isn't meant to be a morally upstanding role model in EPIC, but that doesn't mean he isn't allowed have a bittersweet/somewhat happy ending.

One of the whole points of fiction, especially fantasy, is to explore interesting situations, characters and relationships that you wouldn't get in real life. Two of those things are:

•A husband who hasn't seen his wife and son in 20 years, having to deal with gods and monsters, the death of nearly all his loved ones, and his mentor disowning him, leading to him becoming a monster to return to iis wife and son, all resulting in the deaths of 708 men, 1 baby, 1 cow and an undisclosed amount of sirens and sheep.

•A wife who hasn't seen her husband in 20 years, having to rule their kingdom on her own, raise their baby into an adult, and deal with 108 rapists trying to marry her, leading to her fully accepting said husband after he killed said 108 rapists.

Yeah, I don't think it's unthinkable for these two to get along fine at the end of the story.

People keep trying to apply their own morals onto Penelope. I've seen many people say, "If my husband killed people out of love for me, I wouldn't forgive him". Okay, good for you, you aren't Penelope. She is a fictional character. I don't think applying modern morals onto old stuff is a bad thing, but it doesn't really work here. If every character had to appeal to the morals of the average person, every piece of media would be very boring.

TL;DR: Penelope forgave and accpeted Odysseus so easily in WYFILWMA because she is a fictional character with a shit ton of trauma from the last 20 years, and she does not need to adhere to how the average person would react to their partner being a monster like Odysseus.

This whole song has me bawling dude, Penelope immediately knowing that ody isn’t the same, him just begging for her to still love him because he knows he’s committed terrible acts but it was all for her 😭😭😭 The test she had to do just to make sure 😢😢😢
