Man of the House (short animatic)

i am like 80% sure this song got scrapped--but im theorizing it probably became a new track lol i actually had to edit the audio to add those last few seconds in; had some minor changes from the initial storyboard (which you can watch here): • Man of the House (WIP ...

I scheduled this yesterday at midnight-ish and i forgot to add that i imagined quick transitions for this song like Encanto's opening number beause it has such a surprisingly upbeat rhythm LOL since the track was originally going to be toward the end of Act 2, I ended it with an older Odysseus returning to Ithaca, revealing that he's recalling his past throughout the song. ty for all the kind comments

[@elizabethjackson4]

Just based on the lyrics I fully agree with your ending interpretation. "Where is he? Where is the man who led you to wife? Where is he? Where is the man with whom you'll spend your life?" Both asking where he's been all this time, and if he can be that same man now again.

Wait a minute with the family tree thing...on the drawing, it showed that she is his 1st cousin 💀💀💀

[@aconerty6392]

I think it's "part of *her* family tree" meaning Helen's- Penelope was Helen's cousin through marriage. Helen was fathered by Zeus (likely non-consensually) through Leda, who was married to Tyndareus, and Tyndareus's brother was Ikarios, Penelope's father. On the family tree frame, there's a thunder bolt above one of the parent's heads showing it's Zeus.

[@elsie8757]

@@Jimmy-tb9pe Hmm, that's true... maybe _both_ parents have to be dead for Telemachus to be king? (Which would include stepparents in the hypothetical event that she did remarry). Like, Penelope has clearly been ruling Ithaca in her own right for the past 20 years, which implies that she's a queen _regent_ and not a queen _consort_-- she and her husband have equal power as co-rulers. But then, Odysseus was able to become king while his own mother was still alive, since she only died about halfway into his time away... so maybe the queen being able to be a solo ruler was a law/policy that Odysseus himself made before he left? Or maybe waiting for the heir to be a certain age _is_ standard policy, but Ody was so brilliant even at 13 that they decided to crown him early x'D
