TW: Bodyhorror
some Scylla concept sketches
I had this idea of making the actual Scylla a creepy eel monster, and this woman face is how Scylla used to look like before the transformation. This will most definitely not be the design I'll be using for animatics because it's really hard to draw lmao. Just some scary doodles

Fun fact: I’ve been having a minor to severe Odyssey hyper fixation for over a year now

I love that in the final verse Tiresias sounds so genuinely concerned, so genuinely disheartened that Odysseus didn’t understand his prophecy. You could hear how heartbroken he was that he couldn’t tell Odysseus more. Couldn’t be more clear with him. he repeats it that he understands but I guess Tiresias has no real way of knowing whether or not he did.

I just realized something...
Eurylochus is the one who opened the bag of winds.
It was something so obvious because of the Puppeteer song and what happened in the ocean saga, but I'm only now connecting the dots.
and honestly? Thats having nerve.
Eurylochus, who made himself look like someone super upright, THE SECOND IN COMMAND, Eurylochus who COMPLAINED to Odysseus about not doing anything against Scylla (a sea monster that was in its natural habitat, fighting would have been suicide) when NOT HE did anything against her, when he was willing to ABANDONE his men on Circe's island and questions Odysseus's leadership skills using THOSE EXAMPLES (look, Ody didn't always do things right, but there really weren't any big losses until the Ocean Saga and he handle them very well)--
the same Eurylochus that if he had not opened the pocket of winds which Odysseus spent SLEEPLESS NIGHTS watching so that no one opened (and told them verbatim NOT TO OPEN) they would not have retreated when they were about to reach Ithaca, sending the entire fleet to where POSEIDON was, WHERE ALMOST EVERYONE DIED, THEY ESCAPED BY A HAIR-
And yet he has the Audacity to say that "if Odysseus wants all the power he must take all the BLAME"? WHEN WAS IT BECAUSE OF HIS STUPIDITY THAT THEY WERE IN THE UNDERWORLD IN THE FIRST PLACE? THE REASON WHY SO MUCH PEOPLE DIED IN THE FIRST PLACE??
I'm not fine guys.

Odysseus every time he has to do something bad: I don't want to be mean :(
Any person try to convince him: then you'll never see Penelope again
Odysseus: Hold my f***ing helm

So, as I was listening to the Underworld saga today again (specifically Monster) I realized something. In Monster there is an instrument that sounds a lot like the one used to show that Polites is there/singing (I specifically kept checking Open Arms, since it has the most Polites) it just sounds… more somber, a sad resignation. Where the ones in Open Arms sound lively and full of joy the ones in Monster just sound tired and defeated. I checked to make sure it wasn’t a Poseidon thing, what with him embracing Ruthlessness, and it’s not.
Now, this might be completely wrong, they might not even be the same instrument, I’m no musician, but with how much of a genius Jorge is, I wouldn’t put it past him.
All I can imagine now is Polites watching Odysseus through Monster, begging him to reconsider, to greet the world with open arms, only to realize that Odysseus can’t hear him over the sounds of his own grief and anger. Even if he could hear him, he wouldn’t listen to him. He throws away Polites’ ideology, throws away the part of himself that believed in Polites’ ideology, and all he can do is watch. Watch as his best friend abandons kindness and embraces ruthlessness, watch as he turns himself into a monster, watch as he leaves him in the Underworld, forever changed. The Odysseus he knew, the Odysseus he grew up with (if we’re going by Let Me Be Your Light) is gone. Dead. And all he could do is watch.
