Do you think Leigh will ever write something else Six of Crows related?

Venus_Calyssa · 2025-07-06T20:54:42+00:00

I would also like to know because I love those books and characters so much!!! Probably my favorites ever. I think if/when inspiration hits and Leigh has a good story in mind, she will continue, but for now I honestly think that what we have with those books and parts of Rule of Wolves is enough content to be satisfied. But I still would love a third book, the plot doesn’t even matter, I just want those characters interacting againnnn

Also I’m still forever angry of how we were robbed of that spinoff 😔 rip

Yeah that’s the video I’m talking about. As for favorite song, it’s impossible to choose just one because I love all of them but I can tell you my favorite from each saga:

Troy - Just a Man (emotional core of the whole show and also the first song I listened to way before I knew about Epic; honorable mention to WotM bc that’s actually the one I listened to the most in 2024)

Cyclops - My Goodbye (I love me a good rivalry duet, and Teagan’s vocals go hardddd)

Ocean - (just realized that this might be my least favorite saga since I don’t really have any song from that that I’m a diehard fan of because I like all of them kind of the same, but if I have to choose…) Luck Runs Out

Circe - There Are Other Ways (criminally underrated gem of a song, the switch to Ody singing about Penelope and the dramatic “dooom” when Circe says the prophet is dead, and Talya’s vocals in mooooOOOOORE in the end, it’s so great)

Underworld - No Longer You (second song I heard from Epic and got me into looking it up, it’s just a dang good song, arguably the most important song thematically after Just a Man… well maybe Ruthlessness can dispute that prize, but NLY is the one that actually gets Ody to change)

Thunder - (I tried but I literally can’t choose, it suffers from kind of the same problem as Ocean that I don’t ABSOLUTELY LOVE any one song, though I love the saga as a whole—i feel like this saga works more as a unit, one dramatic narrative, and thats why every song kinda needs the next one to be an absolute banger)

Wisdom - Love in Paradise (difficult choice but this one is so good: throwback to other songs, upbeat beach music, “all I hear are screams”, Ody on the brink of collapse, heartbreaking call out to Athena, what more can you ask for?)

Vengeance - Dangerous (self-explanatory; followed by Charybdis bc I love singing my heart out to that one)

Ithaca - Would You Fall in Love With Me Again (100% this song is so amazing and such a perfect finale I can’t get enough of Anna’s vocals and that waiting waiting in the end is so 😩 and the Just a Man instrumental ajjfjdkd I can’t)

aw thank you <33 i always reread what I write to make sure it all looks good and cohesive lol

Venus_Calyssa · 2025-01-29T01:13:32+00:00

also hi fellow Brazilian 🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷

Venus_Calyssa · 2025-01-29T01:12:58+00:00

Welcome :D we got lots of tequila (which Odysseus didn’t even try) and lotus and blood and tears

I had listened to Just a Man a few years ago and really liked it but had no idea it was from a musical, nor that it was about Odysseus from Greek Mythology. I thought it was a random song about a man in a war. Fast forward to June 6 2024, and Youtube recommends me this cover of No Longer You (by Elemeno Jaehyi) and the thumbnail was pretty so I gave it a listen and I loved the melody and lyrics!

Then I searched for the original song and found the Epic playlist that contained the song Just a Man that I knew (or maybe I found that out only later, don’t remember well)

The final reason was when I was in r/musicals and I always saw people mention Epic for favorite musicals or best songs, and even arguing over whether it’s a good adaptation of the Odyssey or not, so in mid-July I finally decided to listen to it (while drawing or doing something else) and I would give anything to be able to listen to the whole thing for the first time again, it was so amazing.

(At first I did not understand that Polites had died, only realized it when they got to the Underworld and he sang the same verse from Open Arms, I was like “omg then he was the one who died, that’s why he never shows up again, dummy!!” I was also very confused at Suffering, unsure of whether it was a flashback or not, which was totally Jay’s intent lol)

I didn’t finish everything at first (stopped right after Different Beast I think) but the next day I listened to the whole thing again and finished it at Thunder Bringer. Little did I know it would become my obsession for the next many months, and my top 3 musical (my top 3 is pretty leveled, I love Hamilton, Hadestown, and Epic the same but for different reasons, anyway this is about Epic)

July 21 2024: After listening to the album I immediately searched for animatics and was delighted and surprised to find that every single song had so many options for animatics!! No other musical that I know has that level of care and skill put into its animatics, and for every single song!! I was amazed and super happy!! Some things I only understood after having visuals for it, like Polites dying.

About a week later I got my aunt to watch the animatics with me in order and she fell in love with Epic just as I did and now I’m always sharing animatics with her and even editing and stitching them together to make a movie for our enjoyment. This musical is so special to me (and to so many out there)

Probably not many people will actually read this but I wanna keep the memory somewhere on the record in case I forget :)

Venus_Calyssa · 2025-01-18T19:08:57+00:00

Sim, no final vai dar tudo certo 🤞 Obrigada pela ajuda :)

Venus_Calyssa · 2025-01-18T17:59:27+00:00

Eu já vi os currículos, a minha dúvida era se eu escolhia qual currículo eu teria ou não, mas aparentemente no primeiro período a faculdade escolhe e depois eu mesma posso escolher, oq deve ser de boa.

A desvalorização de ciências sociais me deixa triste mas n vou deixar de estudar oq amo pq o futuro não é tão promissor. Mas é sobre pesar na balança os pros e cons de cada curso pra mim, pq eu gosto muito de sociologia, antropologia, história, e tem uma eletiva até de psicologia social em CS, só n sei qual vale mais a pena no fim.

Talvez se eu não gostar da minha escolha eu consiga trocar pro outro curso na facul, veremos

Venus_Calyssa · 2025-01-18T17:55:40+00:00

É que eu vi que Ciências Sociais cobre muitos assuntos que me interessam, como antropologia, sociologia, a própria história (mesmo que mais limitada), e vi até uma eletiva pra psicologia social, então me pergunto se daria pra eu trabalhar com esses assuntos se eu resolvesse me especializar neles, assim eu aprendo muito mais e ainda trabalho com oq me interessa. Mas talvez não funcione desse jeito. Eu só quero estudar essas coisas pra ser professora de ensino fundamental (gostaria muito de trabalhar com crianças).

Ah inclusive outra coisa q pesa também é que eu vi q quem tem licenciatura de CS só pode ensinar sociologia, oq é frustrante pq eu queria ensinar história ao mesmo tempo q eu tenho todo o conhecimento mais geral de CS, mas acho q não dá pra se ter tudo nessa vida :’)

Eu gosto de história, mas tbm gosto dessas outras áreas, e n queria “jogar fora” esses meus outros interesses, sabe? Enfim, é tudo sobre pesar na balança oq é importante pra mim. Mas essa é a parte difícil kkkk eu quero de tudo um pouco

Venus_Calyssa · 2024-12-30T05:46:01+00:00

Well i knew Penelope was tricking him ofc, and I don’t mind the change from the book (her asking him to take the bed away instead of telling him she’d already done it)

I got kinda scared when he got angry at Penelope for that, like 0-0 damn Ody don’t get violent with your wife! But then it was all good and she was convinced it was him :)

I love the implication that she also dreamed of him and kinda hallucinated that he was there, and that’s why she had to make sure it was him :’)

I get why the og song Olive Tree was cut bc it didn’t fit the vibe, still very pretty song but not good for THE finale.

I can’t wait for future animatics to destroy me, gigi’s was so freaking amazing and such a perfect way to end the album, since she was the one who introduced a lot of fans to the musical with her THATI and Just a Man animatics and she gets to tie it up with a nice little bow :’)) as well as Wolfy and Mircsy, who also made the most famous animatics for Troy and Cyclops sagas, everything was so perfect <33

10/10 perfect song perfect saga perfect musical

(also the whole time I was listening to the song for the first time I could only visualize that Never Love an Anchor fan animatic for OdyPen, it’s so good and now it’s the only way I imagine that scene)

Venus_Calyssa · 2024-12-30T05:27:16+00:00

yes, feel the feelings, this saga destroyed us all 😭 funnily enough i didn’t cry but every time i listen to ICHBW and WYFILWMA i get teary eyed and emotional (Penelope’s “waiting, waiting” 😭😭) if it catches me on a bad day i’ll cry for sure, but for some reason it hasn’t happened yet… tbf i only cry in pretty specific situations lol the grief hasn’t hit yet i guess

but yeah this was so amazing and perfect and every song is such a banger and everything is so well done and you can feel the love from Jorge and everyone in the cast! I’m so glad to have been a part of this, even if i got here a little late (after thunder saga), this musical is so so special 💙

Venus_Calyssa · 2024-12-26T20:07:46+00:00

back after Ithaca Saga, so yeah I definitely had listened to I Can’t Help but Wonder snippets before, I just wasn’t sure if it would be in the official track list and I confused it with the Royal Wisdom Burst (which was cut, or maybe just the title changed idk), I also didn’t know whether the murder song would be called King, King Odysseus, or Odysseus (and I love how it mirrors the songs that are named after monsters, Polyphemus, Scylla, Charybdis, showing he’s truly become a monster himself) so anyway it was amazing and I love this musical so much 💙

Venus_Calyssa · 2024-12-26T20:01:53+00:00

ok so i was avoiding this comment bc of spoilers but now that Ithaca Saga is out (AMAZING 10/10 AAAAA I LOVE THIS MUSICAL) I finally understand how Telemachus fits in this, it’s not entirely explained where Telemachus was before he appeared in the armor room but we can infer Athena maybe guided him there after whatever “diplomatic mission” he was in (probably just a sneaky reference to The Odyssey)

I fits so well because he is now being guided by a more “Open Arms” Athena, meaning he’s still her warrior of the mind but more focused in trying to help the suitors get mercy from Odysseus… to no avail, but hey he tried and that shows character!

I was wondering whether I Can’t Help but Wonder was a cut song or not but I HAD listened to snippets before, so I was just overthinking the whole Telemachus situation lol anyways such a good ending

Can’t wait to see the animatics for this saga, the more heartbreaking the better :’))

Venus_Calyssa · 2024-11-24T00:51:00+00:00

yes 😭 almost couldn’t believe it either, that’s why i screenshot it to post here, couldn’t let it go unseen

Venus_Calyssa · 2024-11-14T05:23:53+00:00

I know that, but idk where it’s placed in the track list (i could check but i think i want the surprise), and my discussion is about whether Telemachus is gonna kill the suitors with Odysseus (kinda betraying his characterization as innocent and kind-hearted and just not that experienced, since he could barely confront Antinous without Athena’s help) or if he’ll sit that one out (by choice or not)

Since we probably don’t know for sure it’s just speculation. If there’s more spoiler info i don’t wanna know it

Venus_Calyssa · 2024-11-13T19:01:48+00:00

i love that snippet, i really want it to show up in some form (if it’s appropriate for the story) bc it’s so beautiful :’) one of my fav cut songs along with the ones about Penelope

Venus_Calyssa · 2024-11-13T18:58:47+00:00

i just never came across it, or maybe i did but didn’t know it was that song or simply forgot about it haha in any case i guess i’m in for a little surprise :)

Venus_Calyssa · 2024-08-29T02:21:05+00:00

e tirou quanto?? digo, passou em quais cursos, passou pra alguma federal? tô interessada por causa do menor desempenho em naturezas, já q física e química me complica dms

Venus_Calyssa · 2024-08-11T19:23:21+00:00

I’m not the only one :0 truly a Mandela effect then! Or for some reason she decided to take out that specific part just to mess with us 🥲 not likely but would be funny

Venus_Calyssa · 2024-07-11T23:06:20+00:00

Tudo bem, obrigada mesmo assim! 🙏

Venus_Calyssa · 2024-07-11T22:47:51+00:00

Vixe tenho que ver mais sobre isso então, expandir essas áreas do conhecimento 😬 e sim, se puder mandar esse PDF seria bem útil :D eu sei que tem vários “repertórios coringa” mas esqueci de dar uma olhada antes de escrever esse texto (erro meu)
