Didn't Have Much To Say About This One - Tumblr Posts

THANK YOU FOR THE RANT SSAKKSKSK

Athena looking at Telemachus and seeing young Ody make me emo aaaaahhhh what do you mean she looks at this sunshine boy and regrets everything that took this from Ody??? Looks at Telemachus' light and regrets even more that Ody couldn't keep his ???

AND finally realizing they were besties all along kakskjsjsjsj

"HIS LIGHT POLITIES, HIS HOPE ,HIS CHEERFULNESS, HIS JOY FOR LIFE " HOW DARE YOU PUT POLITIES IN THIS LIST GOOD LORD LAKSKSKJZJSJ

The vocal performances are beautiful indeed, such pretty notes and pretty melodies ajsjszjjsha Athena , a whole ass super powerful god, getting lost in the what-ifs? Making herself feel even worse with the scenarios she can come up with?? GOOD SOUP

I hadn't thought about this but you're so right , our lord and savior Jay saw the gods , humanized only by their flaws, and said "hell no" and gave us gods that feel positive emotions too !!! He gave us an Athena that looks back on her past actions and learns from them !! She CARES!! So much so that babygirl cannot rest knowing her friend is in pain so she *has* to try something, anything, to ease the guilt. Enter Telemachus, our beloved. And god, if I stop and think about it it's impossible not to cry bc "we've grown apart, I don't know where you are or how to help you but here's your son ,the one person you love more than yourself, I'll take care of him, okay? The love that you have for him makes you two so close that it's like I'm helping you, right?" KAKSKJSJS I might be overanalyzing shit but I can't help it , I love family I love friendship I love love akksjsjjs

Telemachus' "Atheeena"?? That was so angelic I'M OBSESSED

Also I love Telemachus giving a goddess life advice , puts it all in perspective, yeah? No matter how powerful or old you are, hearing out someone else's point of view always does you some good.

And I love how he's like " I don't know this dude or how he was like but you're doing an AMAZING job at being my friend so stay my friend okay? Okay" I don't know he's like a little puppy and he doesn't want to be left alone again and and he already likes her so much I'm ... Their friendship is so dear to me

"I got in a fight and I didn't die :))!!!" BABY WHAT DO YOU MEAN?? this absolute angel of a boy was so terrified by the suitors that he was absolutely sure they would kill him and he still tried??? He still fought??? YOU ARE THE BRAVEST BOY AND YOUR FATHER'S PRIDE AND JOY TELEMACHUS

STOP TALKING ABOUT POLITIEEEES

But yeah, uncle polites would have loved the crap out of this sunshine kid who , no matter how shitty is life is right now, finds it in him to believe that everything will be fine and and and *cries*

Athena saying he's good and him being happy and leaning on his new friend kakdksjjsns ( absolutely NO foreshadowing allowed, THIS is the FIRST happy song we've had since open arms and I will NOT let you ruin it for me) ( I'm in denial , as always)

Soooo, we'll be fine analysis?

THANK YOU FOR THE ASK YES

28. We'll Be Fine

"I had a friend before, and he was a lot like you" Aaaaaah, ATHENA, seeing Telemachus and thinking about young Odysseus 🥺

"I helped him fight through war, but he had his demons too" now you see that you pushed him too hard while he was struggling? girlieeee its been 10 yearsss, ALSO SHE IS CALLING ODY HER FRIEND; FINIALLY REALIZINNG HE WAS RIGHT ALL ALONG

"And then we grew apart" one way to rephrase "my goodbye" but fair enugh, THE VOCAL PERFORMANCE THO

"Then his light went dark" AAAAAHHHHH "HIS LIGHT" POLITES, HIS HOPE; HIS CHEERFULNESS; HIS JOY FOR LIFE; HIS MERCIFULLNESS ITS ALL GONEEEEEE

This song is soooo good, in instrumentals and ESPEICALLY The vocal performance of the singers, IM IN LOVE with this

"And so, I thought, maybe, if I made a different call, maybe if I hadn't missed it all",,,,,The "maybe" notes are SO goodddddd how dare they, but yeah, maybe...maybe ....belated insight is better than none at all *cough* Zeus

"Maybe, he'd be fine" MAYBE HE'D BE FINE IS BREAKING ME, maybe he would be hime with you right now, maybe he would not be out there somewhere, still suffering, still trying to get home and loosing hope and faith with every passing day

"Maybe we'd unwind", maybe youd make up, and could become friends again

"Maybe, if I help another soul, maybe, if I helped you reach your goal" Ody is not here rn, but hey, maybe she can help his son instead, Odysseus would want that, and this time, she doesnt make the same mistakes she did with him, this way she can help Ody reach his goal of keeping his family save, in his state, and "make up for her mistakes that way

"Life could be that bright", im rly getting "your light" energy in this saga, its not stated that way, but the energy is in the room and aaaah, yeah, maybe that would help...

"I could sleep at night" NOW THiS is interesting, Jorge does humanize the gods in EPIC even more than they are in the myths, which is interesting! becuase on one hand, what made greek gods so interesting is that they WERE so human, but it tends to mostly be about the negative feelings or their consequences - pride, jealously, lust, anger - because the gods were feared and whorshipped, but here, Jay humanized their positive emotions, if theyre prideful and jealous, why cant they seek friendship too? Also, gods sleep???? fair enough, i suppose they could, or well, Athena doesnt rn IG ISEJGISEg Help soekesgjesgj the fact that shes suffering so mcuh from letting Ody go is painful thooo AND THE CRACK IN HER VOICE WHEN SHE SINGS THAT BREAKS ME

"Athena, I don't know who your friend is" he doesnt even ask for her name SEISEGHSEGO Ig that was in little wolf already but i think its still funny, BUT TELEMACHUS; HIS VOCALS AAAAH, also HE DOESNT KNOWWWW SHE DOesNT TELL HIM THAT SHES TALKING ABOUT HIS FATHERRRRR

"I don't know what he's like" HE USED TO BE JUST LIKE YOU LIL WOLF AAAHs siegjseigj

"but my time with you has been splendid the bеst day of my life", imagine wat his life must be like, stuck in this palace, trying to keep the men satisfied to not hurt him or his mom but also protecting her, and not upsetting them, he'd be on guard 24/7......but she helped him fight back, for once

"'Cause I got in a fight, and I didn't die, I'vе never felt strong before" THE BAR IS SO LOW BOY AAAAHHHH HES SO HAPPY ABOUT THAT; he geniuely thought that if he fought, he'd end up dead, hes scared to death by the suitors and got told he's weak and I GET THAT ID BE TOO, BUT HE SURVIVED! Yayy

"You're my friend, I couldn't ask for more" SHE'S CALLING HER HIS FRIEND GUYS AND HE DOESNT REJECT IT

"And so, I think, maybe, if life wasn't spent as planned maybe, it's time that you lend a hand" TELEMACHUS COMING IN WITH LIFE ADVICE FOR ATHENA AAAAAH

"I don't think he'll mind" YOU'RE SAVING YOUR FATHERS LIFE RN TELEMACHUS AND YOU DONT EVEN KNOW I LOVE YOU AAAAH

"If not his friend, then mine" 😭THE vocaaaaaaaallllls againnn aah the voices

"Maybe, to fall is to learn one way" THE HARMONIES BETWEEN THEM; PLEASEEEEEEEEE, also yes!!!!! learn from your mistakes and carry on!!!

"Maybe, it's all gonna turn out great" HARMONIESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS their voices go together so well, mabye things will be fine?? MAYBE????

"I know we'll be fine, I know it's light you'll find".....i...i dont even know what to say, hes hopefully and cheerful and my sunshine boy and polites would've loved you and AAAAAH 😭😭😭 Imma go cry in a corner now

"You're a good kid" AAAAAAH tears (also Athena being like "gods, youre your fathers kid")

"Thanks :D" HES SO HAPPY ABOUT THE COMPLIMENT PLSSSS ASO THE OFFICAL ANIMATIC THAT HE TRIES TO LEAN ON HER BUT FALLS THROUGH HER BECAUSE SHES TRANSPARENT??? aaaahahhhhhhhhhhhhhh its so funny but i saw someone commenting "i hope its not foreshadowing that he'll try to lean on her while shes not aviable and now I cry a little bit about it.... honestly, most beautiful vocal performance im so in love with this

I know there are a lot of musical call back in this too, but admittely i cant figure them all out myself and i havent watched enough analyses yet from others
