On that note, I'm crying now cause the song "Would You Fall in Love With Me Again" would fit Altair and Maria, more specifically after Maria was killed and Altair went into exile for a while before taking back the assassins. Like bro! 😭 Altair just singing that to Maria's ghost, thinking it was his fault for not doing anything about it sooner. SHE WOULD LOVE YOY STILL YOU FREAKING FOOL!
I was scrolling through Tumblr and found a post about Lucy Stillman, where it was talking about her backstory and how she did care about Desmond and his well-being (You might see where I'm going with this). While reading it I couldn't help but think about the song when Calypso sings her song to Odysseus and how despite what she put him through for 7 years on her island trying to make him fall in love with her. I couldn't help but think that song would fit Lucy pretty well actually. Like she did care for him and Desmond seemed to be interested in her. But after it was revealed she was a traitor and Desmond was forced to stab her, I feel like Lucy in the end didn't regret caring for Desmond and the only thing she regretted was getting swept up with the templars and Abstergo.
But the main point is that I can ABSOLUTELY see Lucy singing "I'm Not Sorry for Loving You" 🏝❤️
I cannot express how badly I need someone to draw, animate, edit, or cosplay Dracula and Lisa seeing each other again in Hell after Alucard kills him, with Would You Fall In Love With Me Again? from EPIC.
You cannot tell me it doesn't match them perfectly.
I'll be real. I may have some qualms about some choices in the musical or tones in some of the songs
Would You Fall in Love With Me Again made my cry like a big ol baby
The Whole Album is so good, but I felt that "Would You Fall In Love with Me Again" Took the cake as the song from the Album to get an on Release Artpiece from me
Enjoy this speed paint, and uuuuhhh yeah I think i may do an image for each song from this saga cause i have ideas for ALLLL
Also some close ups
Peep the blood on his hands, mans has done things, but she loves him regardless ;w; Also homie is crying cause he has been waiting for this moment, nah, fighting for this moment for 20 years now Also the Olive Tree in the background uwu
Also i HAD to had Polites, ya already know hehe
HE IS SO HAPPY ODY FINALLY MADE IT HOME SAFELYYYYY
Also sure yeah I included Eurylochus as well uwu (peep the horns made out of lighting, yeah i know what you did Eury ewe, but I include u none the less uwu)
This whole journey has been amazing, it's bittersweet to see EPIC reach its end, but i'm glad it ended so happily (in the song, RIP IRL Ithaca)
Epic and scum villain are currently my favorite fandoms (not counting tgcf) so I wanted to make this list. Also please give me any epic x svsss fics or art, I'd greatly appreciate it (I've already read the suffering fic)!!!
Just a man: This was actually what inspired this list and the idea for an animation won't leave my head. This is Shen Qingqiu during the abyss scene. This is him trying to rationalize pushing Luo Binghe. The whole first half of the song is him saying how he couldn’t possibly do it. You'd replace "Deep down I'd trade the world to see my son and wife" with "Deep down I'd trade almost anything to save you from this fate" (yes ik it doesn't sound good or rhyme but I'm terrible at anything music based or poem based). The silent beat between "I'm just a man" and the "but when dose a comet become a meteor" is the system reminded him of how many points he'll lose (and maybe how many he has), so he get that final push to turn his sword onto Luo Binghe.
Luck runs out: OK, this one is not even close to cannon but I'd love if this happened even if it's slightly occ. Also this isn't nearly as long as just a man bc that one actually has been haunting my brain like Christmas in October. I can see this is moment between Shen Qingqiu escaping the water prison and self destructing where somehow Shen Qingqiu runs into Shang Qinghua. I think that it would be more likely to happen if they were a bit closer and if Shang Qinghua wasn't fully sure that the mushroom bodies would be ok. I think it could sort of be Shang Qinghua trying to get Shen Qingqiu to flee the city (this gets shut down either by Shen Qingqiu telling him about the blood mites or Luo Binghe almost having qi deviation)
Wouldn't you like: Doing time jumps because I'm going in Epic order. This is literally just some sort of knowledge person rewarding Luo Binghe for helping them. So they tell him about Xin Mo and how all of his enemies (or monsters), that will kill him if he doesn't become stronger, will be easily defeated with Xin Mo
There are other ways: A woman who was supposed to be a wife trying to get out of a lost fight. Of course Luo Binghe doesn't care so instead she gives him information about a prophet that can help him escape in exchange for mercy.
No longer you: I would talk about this but there are already at least three animations on YouTube on this, they're both so good. [animation 1] [animation 2] [animation 3]
Monster: Luo Binghe finally "snapping" or coming to terms with his blackening (in the abyss)
Suffering: Sirens that were either a wife plot or wives themselves originally, probably both. Luo Binghe trying to get info out of a siren that looks like his beloved shizun, thats it. There is also a really cool animation of this on YouTube. [Animation]
Legendary: this on is only being added because the same creator at the suffering did one if legendary and it opened my eyes. It's pretty much white lotus Binghe talking about wanting to be great then cutting to black lotus (during the five years) wishing for his shizun back. [Animation]
Little wolf: Kind of a stretch but Meng Mo training a young Luo Binghe. This would not be a real fight but old fights that Luo Binghe lost and is reliving in his dreams to see what he did wrong. The only problem would be hurting the mind by hurting someone in a dream. Alternatively: Shen Qingqiu silently cheering on Luo Binghe during his "fight" with Ming Fan. Quick thought would just be the leaves being shot
Not sorry for loving you: I already made a post about this and as you can see by the dwindling lengths of these descriptions, I'm getting really lazy (plus it's late) so just read the post please. [Post]
I can't help but wonder: This just feels like something post cannon where BingQiu finally talk about everything. Luo Binghe probably says something about how he's a monster and has done terrible things and Shen Qingqiu is practically offended that Luo Binghe would suggest that Shen Qingqiu wouldn't love him because of that
This post was too ambitious for one sitting, especially this late but I did it. I might add more when my thoughts are more coherent and I'm not just throwing the pink slab of meat in my skull into the post
Rq I just want to tell everyone an event that happened probably 5 weeks ago.
My family and I stopped at an shopping center, when we parked, the car next to us, the driver was still inside, remember that this was when the Ithaca Saga was released, I heard and I mean HEARD the song 'Would You Fall In Love With Me Again' and I'm like, 😃 (YAYAYYAYAYAYAYAYYAYA).
Honestly one of my favorite songs
Odysseus, still covered in blood : i've left a trail of red on every island and killed many people, would you still fall in love with me again :( ?
Penelope, a spartan, to herself: *Gods shut up faster so I can throw you on that bed that you won't move you sexy murderer*
So I have seen a lot of interpretations of Penelope's stunt with the wedding bed, but I haven't seen anyone echo my own so I thought I'd share? This is just my opinion though.
I think that the wedding bed thing was not just Penelope's way of saying Odysseus is always her husband no matter how much of a monster he thinks he is. I think she was calling his bluff.
Because throughout Epic, Ody's arc has him becoming a monster to get back home to his family. In Monster, he explicitly gives up his humanity to make it back home. And for the majority of act two, he stays true to this conviction. He is a monster, and he is ok with this, because it is what helps him to get back home.
However, when he sees Penelope again, he loses his conviction. As he faces his sweet and gentle wife, the woman he has been dreaming about for all these years and placing upon a pedestal, he falters. Because he feels he doesn't deserve her now that he has become a monster.
So even though it breaks his heart, he pushes her away. He tells her that he isn't the man she once knew and he questions whether she would ever fall in love with the version of him that he has become. In all of his lyrics in this song, he expresses how she could never fall in love with him again after everything he's done. He plays the part of a martyr, willing to give up his one true love because she should not be forced to love a monster.
Now, Odysseus is a rather selfish character. I think we can all agree on this, yes? It was selfish of him to taunt the cyclops, selfish of him to approach Aeolus alone and to keep the windbag to himself, selfish of him to refuse to listen to Eury when they first arrived at Circe's, selfish of him to sacrifice six men to Scylla, the list goes on. He isn't afraid to do what he has to to get what he wants.
And Penelope knows this.
So she rejects him, and she does it in the most hurtful way possible - telling him to literally uproot their lives, that she can't stand him to the point that she wants every reminder of him gone, even if that means basically destroying their room by removing the bed. This was 'a symbol of their love everlasting' so by asking him to get rid of it, she is saying that she really never could fall in love with him again.
And Odysseus fights back, because he is still selfish. He still wants his wife to love him. Despite pushing her away, he actually can't stand the idea of losing her after everything he went through to get back home to her. He cannot give her up.
Penelope points this out to him. You are my husband. Do not try to say that you don't deserve me, do not try to shy away from me because of what you have done. Don't play the part of a martyr now, when you have martyred others just to get back home to me.
You are selfish. You are a monster. But I love you regardless.
Because Odysseus will always be her husband. And just the fact that he feels he doesn't deserve her proves that her 'kind and gentle husband' is still in there, somewhere. She'll help him to return to a place of love and empathy one day. But it's something they'll do together, not apart.
And I think that's beautiful.
Haha
Reblog with the EPIC song that made you cry
Truly best way to end the show.
Ithaca saga am right♥
I saw someone on Insta draw different ships this way while Penelope's part of Would You Fall in Love with Me Again from Epic played. So I had to draw Niko and Crystal the same way.
I know the line is red but I keep hearing bread
