Okay I know I literally have not shut up all morning and I’m probably annoying the living daylights out of you guys but I’m gonna listen to the Thunder Saga It’s storming outside and I’m sitting in my room alone in the dark so this is gonna be incredible Please go ahead and mute this if you want I’m gonna be rambling
Oh the first song is called Suffering Fun I think I mentioned that I know nothing about anything in act 2 Like I kinda knew what to expect with the act 1 sagas, but not here I’ve got no clue So this’ll be fun
nope nope nope nope nope that’s not her Odysseus that’s not her “Then jump in the water and kiss me” yeah maybe don’t Please don’t I bet Eurylochus stops him
...I can’t tell if he knows what’s going on or not It could be one of those things where the character fully believes that what they’re seeing is real but part of them knows it’s not so they won’t go anyway Or he might know it’s not Penelope and he’s just messing with this... siren or whatever it is I don’t know yet XD
okay so she’s telling him that to avoid Poseidon, he has to sail through the lair of Scylla And then follows that up with “now jump in the water! ” So like she’s very obviously not trustworthy But one of the songs is called Scylla So does he go anyway? Why?? Is she for some reason telling the truth??
oh never mind it’s fine That was a rollercoaster XD The next song immediately begins with “let’s cut the charade, you are no wife of mine” good job Odysseus you’re not stupid
ooh interesting that was a lie He’s not actually afraid of the water That’s good I was kinda worried for him for a second and also very impressed that he was a sailor if water scared him That’s some dedication right there But no never mind he was in fact just messing with the siren XD
“For... about twelve years or so...” stop you can’t make me laugh right in the middle of this He’s making fun of himself for getting the number wrong It was ten years, according to the Troy Saga And in the Circe Saga he kept saying twelve years and didn’t realize until after and he just posted a TikTok of himself listening to all the times he said (1/2)
ohh that’s clever So he read her lips and basically pretended to be tricked so she’d tell him how to get away from Poseidon, since sirens know the sea better than he does So he’ll go to Scylla like she said
oh no No no no Stop it don’t kill them “Spare us, spare us please” “Why, so you can kill the next group of sailors in this part of the sea? Nah. You wouldn’t have spared me” STOP
Okay I checked It’s Remember Them When he defeated Polyphemus and spared him Now they’re calling back to that when he just mentioned the mistake he made in not killing Polyphemus, which is why he’s killing the sirens, because he doesn’t want to take that risk again
stop They ended the song by just saying his name Just like Remember Me Except then it was “the next time that you dare choose not to spare, remember them, remember us, remember me” He was telling Polyphemus who decided to spare his life Now the soldiers, not even Odysseus himself, are telling the sirens who chose not to do the same for them Holy shit
Oh my cod Eurylochus hi Yes yes what’s the secret Spill the tea Please I’ve been waiting since Puppeteer c’mon Odysseus you’d better let him finish this time
...holy shit Eurylochus No Oh come on man why Why would you do that I mean I understand why you would do that but COME ON He opened Aeolus’s bag of winds when Odysseus fell asleep I mean I guess the song being called Keep Your Friends Close hinted at that XD I probably should’ve guessed
Hmmm this sounds familiar Tiresias’s prophecy “I see portrayals of betrayal and a brother’s final stand” I did predict Eurylochus betraying him, because they refer to each other as brothers multiple times I also think that eventually Eurylochus is going to die for Odysseus, probably, the “final stand” But I did not expect the betrayal to be the bag
Odysseus didn’t say anything Oh he didn’t respond That’s even scarier I am so afraid for his reaction to this But now Scylla’s here, so HANG ON Scylla’s here Who was singing in the background, then I thought that was supposed to be Scylla hang on no Okay we know the gods can bring in background voices without anyone being there So maybe... (1/2)
Oh he said that Scylla had a cost He had to give up six men And he knew that He knew six of them were going to die and he went in anyway Oh Eurylochus is pissed
OH SHIT WAIT THIS IS THE PROPHECY “I see the song of past romance” the siren pretending to be his wife “I see the sacrifice of man” the six men Scylla killed “I see portrayals of betrayal” I’m assuming that’s referring to the mutiny that’s about to happen And a brother’s final stand is next I really really hope Eurylochus doesn’t die
I’m absolutely screaming I can’t believe it took me that long This whole saga is just the prophecy playing out ...the next part is “I see you on the brink of death, I see you draw your final breath” oh jeez
“How are we supposed to trust you now / Now your time has come, your luck’s run out / Now the time has come to shut you down / You relied on wit, and then we died on it”
Oh my cod is Zeus gonna save him “I see you on the brink of death, I see you draw your final breath, I see a man who gets to make it home alive” so he has to come back somehow Holy shit that means Odysseus just died And now I’m guessing Zeus will show up and bring him back
Thunder Bringer will definitely be Zeus There’s still two and a half minutes of Mutiny left ...y’know what would be crazy Is if this was Athena Listen if this is anybody other than Zeus I’m gonna lose it
Okay hang on but this is Thunder Bringer Zeus They said the cows belonged to the sun god That’s not a title Zeus has, right? That’s Helios or Apollo? Unless I’m completely stupid? XD He did say “who do you think he’ll send” so I guess it’s not necessarily him coming Because Thunder Bringer is most definitely going to be Zeus’s song
It’s storming outside and I’m sitting in my room alone in the dark so this is gonna be incredible
Please go ahead and mute this if you want I’m gonna be rambling
Fun
I think I mentioned that I know nothing about anything in act 2
Like I kinda knew what to expect with the act 1 sagas, but not here
I’ve got no clue
So this’ll be fun
This is too perfect
I gotta do it now XD
WE’RE STARTING WITH PENELOPE
FINALLY
AND HER VOICE IS BEAUTIFUL
Odysseus that’s not her
“Then jump in the water and kiss me” yeah maybe don’t
Please don’t
I bet Eurylochus stops him
girl if you’re gonna pretend to be his wife at least get your story straight
Also oh
Odysseus is afraid of water
Oh dear
It could be one of those things where the character fully believes that what they’re seeing is real but part of them knows it’s not so they won’t go anyway
Or he might know it’s not Penelope and he’s just messing with this... siren or whatever it is
I don’t know yet XD
I bet the first question is “what daughter” XD
Odysseus what are you doing
And then follows that up with “now jump in the water!
So like she’s very obviously not trustworthy
But one of the songs is called Scylla
So does he go anyway? Why?? Is she for some reason telling the truth??
IS HE GONNA JUMP
WHAT THE FUCK WHY WOULD YOU JUMP WHY
he’d better not
That was a rollercoaster XD
The next song immediately begins with “let’s cut the charade, you are no wife of mine” good job Odysseus you’re not stupid
Wow
That was
That was sure something
He’s not actually afraid of the water
That’s good I was kinda worried for him for a second and also very impressed that he was a sailor if water scared him
That’s some dedication right there
But no never mind he was in fact just messing with the siren XD
Oh he really has changed
Oh no
Oh no I don’t like this
He was messing with her while his men captured all of her friends
“We are the man-made monsters, we are the ones who conquer” damn
He’s making fun of himself for getting the number wrong
It was ten years, according to the Troy Saga
And in the Circe Saga he kept saying twelve years and didn’t realize until after and he just posted a TikTok of himself listening to all the times he said (1/2)
So he read her lips and basically pretended to be tricked so she’d tell him how to get away from Poseidon, since sirens know the sea better than he does
So he’ll go to Scylla like she said
No no no
Stop it don’t kill them
“Spare us, spare us please”
“Why, so you can kill the next group of sailors in this part of the sea? Nah. You wouldn’t have spared me” STOP
He’s not even doing it himself
Uh trigger warning here for murder and dr0wn!ng
.
He said to cut off their tails and throw them back in the water
He’s not even going to kill them
He’s going to let them drown
Oh that’s disgusting
”He is a different beast now” ”he is the man-made monster, he is the one who conquers” I do not like this at all
It’s a callback
What song is that from I don’t remember
When he defeated Polyphemus and spared him
Now they’re calling back to that when he just mentioned the mistake he made in not killing Polyphemus, which is why he’s killing the sirens, because he doesn’t want to take that risk again
They ended the song by just saying his name
Just like Remember Me
Except then it was “the next time that you dare choose not to spare, remember them, remember us, remember me”
He was telling Polyphemus who decided to spare his life
Now the soldiers, not even Odysseus himself, are telling the sirens who chose not to do the same for them
Holy shit
I do know the voice effects for Scylla are going to be awesome
Yes yes what’s the secret
Spill the tea
Please
I’ve been waiting since Puppeteer c’mon
Odysseus you’d better let him finish this time
Eurylochus
No
Oh come on man why
Why would you do that
I mean I understand why you would do that but COME ON
He opened Aeolus’s bag of winds when Odysseus fell asleep
I mean I guess the song being called Keep Your Friends Close hinted at that XD I probably should’ve guessed
Tiresias’s prophecy
“I see portrayals of betrayal and a brother’s final stand”
I did predict Eurylochus betraying him, because they refer to each other as brothers multiple times
I also think that eventually Eurylochus is going to die for Odysseus, probably, the “final stand”
But I did not expect the betrayal to be the bag
EVERY SINGLE TIME
IT GETS ME EVERY TIME THEY REFERENCE JUST A MAN
DAMN IT
Within like three seconds of each other
Wow
Oh he didn’t respond
That’s even scarier
I am so afraid for his reaction to this
But now Scylla’s here, so
HANG ON
Scylla’s here
Who was singing in the background, then
I thought that was supposed to be Scylla hang on no
Okay we know the gods can bring in background voices without anyone being there
So maybe... (1/2)
Oh the music too
I’m not sure what instrument it is but holy shit
No it wasn’t
Was it?
And Odysseus sang with her at the end
What is happening
So I’m pausing for now
I’ll listen to the rest later
Oh jeez the next some is called Mutiny
That sounds fun
Oh shit
Ohhh no Odysseus you idiot you can’t keep getting people killed
They’re gonna stop liking you
...
Not the time for jokes
But
Eurylochus 🤝 Emily
Oh shit
He had to give up six men
And he knew that
He knew six of them were going to die and he went in anyway
Oh Eurylochus is pissed
“I see the song of past romance” the siren pretending to be his wife
“I see the sacrifice of man” the six men Scylla killed
“I see portrayals of betrayal” I’m assuming that’s referring to the mutiny that’s about to happen
And a brother’s final stand is next
I really really hope Eurylochus doesn’t die
This whole saga is just the prophecy playing out
...the next part is “I see you on the brink of death, I see you draw your final breath” oh jeez
a song of past romance, not the
Sorry
“If you want all the power, you must carry all the blame” holy s h i t
This is scary
THAT SOUNDED LIKE A VERY STABBY SOUND
HE SOUNDED VERY HURT
HOLY SHIT DID SOMEBODY STAB ODYSSEUS
“I see you on the brink of death, I see you draw your final breath, I see a man who gets to make it home alive” so he has to come back somehow
Holy shit that means Odysseus just died
And now I’m guessing Zeus will show up and bring him back
There’s still two and a half minutes of Mutiny left
...y’know what would be crazy
Is if this was Athena
Listen if this is anybody other than Zeus I’m gonna lose it
That was the same animal sound in the background as the beginning of Polyphemus
Is it a flashback??
The mutiny’s already happened
And now the crew found this island
No no no
Don’t
Don’t take the cows
Don’t do it
Okay maybe it’s not “brink of death” time yet
I dunno I’m confused XD
I’m just gonna stop thinking and listen
Stop
This is so sad
Eurylochus don’t die please
Again
No
Nope nope nope
I do not like this saga
Not one bit
Honey please don’t
“I’m just a man” and of course he’s gonna kill the cattle
Stop
I hate this
I don’t want him to die this sucks
STOP
Zeus
They said the cows belonged to the sun god
That’s not a title Zeus has, right? That’s Helios or Apollo? Unless I’m completely stupid? XD
He did say “who do you think he’ll send” so I guess it’s not necessarily him coming
Because Thunder Bringer is most definitely going to be Zeus’s song
This is awesome
Holy shit
I’m halfway through the song and I don’t even have words
His voice is beautiful
That sucks
I should’ve seen this coming
Ohh this is insane I love this
This is positively tragic
Odysseus you better die
Do not kill Eurylochus please
Oh my cod no
Is he seriously going to kill all of his men
No no no
“...I know” and he’s crying I can’t now I’m crying
Oh man
Of course
Of course that’s it
