Antinous | Hold Them Down EPIC: the musical ANIMATIC

Alternative title: Antinous shows off his sick dagger for a minute straight

ignore Jay's voice in the middle of the song, I really wanted to animate Antinous ever since the snippet with his voice actor came out and this was the only audio I had. Now it looks like Odysseus is excited about the suitors plotting his son's murder, but again, just ignore that

Odysseus: This is my favorite part!
Antinous: *Sings about murdering his son*

If you think this will make us forget cook Antinous, you are very wrong.

[Kingdaybreak]

I just noticed that evil Antinous has his eyepatch on the opposite eye to his parody counterpart. Nice subtle way to tell them apart.

[zenli]

Maybe it wouldn't be canonically accurate but when I listen to this song I like to imagine Odysseus in disguise among the crowd, seething in anger and plotting all their deaths :)

[m.a.]

jays little “this is my favorite part” 😭

[kadets]

Just give him the birthday cake, Antinous. You know Telemachus deserves it 😔

[josephidalgo]

The part "only the ocean and I will know" it's pretty cool if we think that Antinous is Telemachus' enemy while Poseidon (ocean) is Oddyseus' enemy

[Hana_H]

You and Wolfy are feeding the entire fandom rn fr fr

0:46 Dang… that’s a lot of cake frosting, , Antinous must have made a heck of a cake for the surprise party

[licas]

I know this is supposed to be scary, but I can't help but keep smiling, 0:17 and how his voice sound like he's so much happy and can't hold his excitement it infectious lol

[YouveBeenMegged]

That bit with with Telemachus seeing the wolf head on the dagger as Antinous is stabbing him had me *floored.* It’s absolutely perfect. This is so well done!

Sidenote: As terrifying and badass as this is, I still can’t get the birthday parody out of my head. I wonder if Antinous’s official voice actor would be willing to sing it. 😂

[JadeLwoj]

Antinous: *being a greedy, ambitious monster*

Odysseus: *returns after 20 years where he studied and he fought and he killed (and then some while losing a truly heart breaking amount of people on the way) to reunite with Penelope and Telemachus* Lemme show you what I learned on how to be a monster… 👹

[fuyim]

Dang it I have the parody in my head so all I can here is “when the prince wonders what his gift is only his mother and I will know” and “cut the cake into tiny pieces” 😭

[Crw-]

“Only the ocean and I will know~” Antonius says as he sings in front of a group of multiple people.



Awesome everything as always 👍

[RawwkinGrimmie]

I can't sing this song without accidentally singing "I heard today is Telemachus' birthday", and I love that for us.

[ElianZiS]

Wonderful animatic, as always, I love this dark mood, so tasty. And the expression on Telemachus' face...

BUT IT'S HARD TO GET THE BIRTHDAY SONG OUT OF MY HEAD NOW :DD

[ecedeniz]

Absolutely loved the part where Antinous attacks Telemachus and the screen keeps blacking out, makes you feel in Telemachus' shoes as if he keeps losing and gaining consciousness (poor baby😢) Anyway amazing work as always gigi ❤

[VictoriaStarratt]

I’m kind of glad that you didn’t include the “hold her down” clip, because that is the scariest/most chilling part of the song that has been released

[creterb]

I love this song so much I'm so sad when it gets released bc it'll mean we're close to no longer waiting for the saga to finish

[angiemaritza]

i’m really hoping when he finishes this song he gets an arrow straight to his throat because that’s how he dies in the Odyssey and he’s the first one to be killed by Odysseus
