because she is angry. the thing with the bed wasnt to prove his identity to her, it was to make him realize that being outraged by her request like that means he hadnt changed so much that he would be a stranger to the woman who waited 20 years for him to come back to her and was crazy to think she would even care.
I love that despite the level of disconnect that they perceive between each other they still are as connected as ever. Odysseus is heartbroken about her “rejection” but still moves to tear the roots for Penelope because she asked. When Penelope begins hitting him he fully understands that this is her way of communicating and takes it. At the same time, Penelope knows that Odysseus is not going to understand unless she beats him over the head with her love. (Side note that him backing into the wall and her following him is kinda ironic given how all this time he has been going to her and now it’s her going to him)
3:18 that oh man I love how Odyssey is more emotional compared the common aggression mostly shown in others it shows that he's like heartbroken kinda in a way, and lmao the way he just starts backing away was kinda funny my dude was scared for a sec but man the feels how they embrace on the floor finally reunited my heart
Yes, Odysseus. Yes, you should be scared of your Spartan wife. That woman waited for you, holding a kingdom together, mourning her mother-in-law, fending off suitors and raising Telemachus She will absolutely love you. Who said she ever stopped? This was so sweet. I love that you included imagery of Poseidon and Zeus when their themes played. I’ve never seen art of him backing away from Penelope because of how emotional she is, and it’s simultaneously hilarious and makes me want to clap. That man needed to hear those words.
Bro, your comment just made me think how Penelope must've felt when Anticlea died, she had to comfort Ctimene and Laertes, I never thought about that before
2:19 made me realize how many animatics you really did. All of them had their own character and sense of originality compared to others. Fantastic work 😁
Right?! For a split second I thought it was just the animatics used in the livestream, but then it hit me what it actually was. It's so good! I didn't know how anyone would ever top the livestream version, but I knew they would and everyone so far has been amazing!
The way Penelope went from the younger version of herself because that’s who Odysseus remembers is sickening! He kept his wife in his mind and his heart for twenty years knowing she wouldn’t look the same, but he knew that the younger version was all he could remember because the journey originally wasn’t supposed to take twenty years.
3:36 ODYSSEUS ACTUALLY GOING TO MOVE THE BED (despite being devasted) before Penelope goes “NO YOU DUMMY YOURE MY HUSBAND” is immaculate and I love this so much!! This is the first animation I’ve seen where Odysseus ACTUALLY goes to do the “favor” Penelope asks of him 🥺🥺🥹
There are THREE THINGS I ABSOLUTELY ADORE ABOUT THIS: 1. Penelope being happy when Ody said “But all of that was to bring me back to you.” Because she’s Spartan, she would DEF feel so freaking loved with everything Ody did to get back 2. This is the first animatic that portrays the “test” the same way I imagined it. The bed thing wasn’t a test, it was to show Odysseus that he was still the same loving husband. 3. THAT THEY MADE LOVE!!! I have been saying this on reddit and Tiktok…THEY DEF MADE LOVE HENCE “How long has it been?” IM SO GLAD SOMEONE FINALLY DID THIS
It very much was a test, gods (Zeus) impersonate husbands all the time in Greek mythology and many people are even aware of that and so this is Penelope's way of confirming it IS very much Odysseus and not some god in disguise. And if you think I'm wrong go read the actual Odyssey where Athena literally tells a concerned Penelope to test him with the olive tree. I'm not saying its not a reminder that Odysseus is a loving husband but it IS test as well.
5:13 THE WAY I SCREAMED “OOP THEY SMAHSED I KNEW IT-“ nah this is truly beautiful animatic beautifully capturing PENELOPE ACTUALLY BEING DONE WITH HIM LIKE YESSH GIR GET HIM
By far, the best one I've seen, not only because you've conveyed the emotions so fantastically, mythologically accurately made it so they immediately got down to town, made them both nervous and scared and a complete mess, but you actually showed the Penelope is in her forties!!! I've only seen people make penelope thin and look like she's still in her twenties, you showed Ody's age and Penelope's age perfectly! Thank you Ximena!
With how the age of marriage varied from the different kingdoms that formed the Grecian empire, it’s actually completely possible that Penelope could be either younger or older than 40 by the end of the Odyssey. Spartan women for example often married around 30 meaning that she’d be around 50 here but we don’t know how old she was when she married Odysseus. ( Most of my own research actually hints that she was 35 at this point in the story , which makes sense since the suitors would presumably want to have a child with her to secure their own position as king if they won her hand. If she was above 40 it would be rather unlikely that she’d be THIS sought after by 108 men).
And before you ask yes it was possible for royals to marry in their teen years since they would be considered as princes and princesses up until the death or resignation of then current monarchs.
3:38 I love when she throws the blanket on top of him in a joking manner and her punch him!! 3:58 Along with her being somewhat upset at Odysseus think she’d no longer love him!!!! I also LOVE Odysseus face when he gets yelled at!
Ody being a nervous mess ? The transition from young Penelope to older Penelope?? The way she picked out a rose for him ?? Ody's little nod when penelope asks for the favour (like yes I Would do anything for you my love ) ??? The way ody was actually GOING TO MOVE THE BED (WHILE BEING PISSED ABOUT IT ) , coz his wife asked ??? The way Penelope just throws the bedsheet (?) at his head , scolds him (with the finger motion and all ) and grabs him to make him understand that HE WILL ALWAYS BE HER HUSBAND?? THE WAY THE LIGHT COMES BACK TO HIS EYES ??? The HUGG ?? THE WAYY THE HELD EACH OTHER SOO TIGHT , COZ EVEN THE THOUGHT OF THEM BEING APART ( AHAHAH )??? THE FOREHEAD KISS AT THE END ??? 😭 I AM OBSESSED ✨
@@foolslayer9416 I don’t know anything about the lore, but what do you mean she made the night longer for them, did they die after that night? Like a Romeo and Juliet situation🥲?
the animatics where penelope shows she's actually semi insulted that ody wants her to fall in love again are my favorites; "I was in love with you the whole time! I held it down for you! I knew you were coming back!" She pushes him and grabs him like these are the only ways that he's really going to get it through his thick dumb (incredibly well strategically minded but DUMB when it comes to matters of the heart) head is that sense of touch, emotion, and cunning from his wife. ugh i love them
I am in love with the entire wedding bed sequence. The anguish from Ody that became determination to do what Penelope wanted even though it hurt him to uproot the bed. Penelope's anger being perfectly represented in her practically beating the sense back into him. Almost made me cry. It captured everything beautifully.
I love the details in this. The shot at 4:12 where they're walking in perfect sync-even when they're arguing, even when Odysseus is insisting he's not the man Penelope loved and married, it's clear that the connection between them is still so strong.
this is the first animatic ive seen that REALLY hones in on how Penelope felt during this song. this is so beautiful it moved me to tears. great job, seriously
I love how your animatic ends with Odysseus and Penelope sharing their bed. It's a beautiful payoff to the cliffhanger at the end of the "Vengeance Saga" (How will you sleep at night? Next to my wife). It made this whole story complete.
3:50 I love that from this moment on we can see that Penelope HAS CHARACTER 💀 something essential that was missing in these animations, thank you again, Miss Ximena 🙏🏻
Love how it portrays that Penelope still has Spartan blood coursing through her veins. And the fact that Ody was Not afraid of anything Else he went through but Penelope made him back into a wall. 🔥
THE WAY PENELOPE SHOWS SO MUCH BITE DURING HER PART, LIKE EVEN GRABS HIS SHIRT AND POINTS AT HIM EVERYTHING LIKE SHES MAD HE EVEN DARED TO ASSUME SHE COULD JUST NOT LOVE HIM THAT THAT. IM GOING INSANE I LOVE THAT
Ohmy goshhhh. The way you showed the younger Penelope fading into the current, older Penelope hurt my heart. It just showed in a brutal way the passage of time. He has spent so many years away trying to get back to her, but just as Odysseus has changed, so has she. She's not the Penelope the sirens copied, and she's not the girl he left. That girl is only left in his memories, but the real thing is in front of him, and even with change, he still loves her. I think this is the first animatic that showcased not just Odysseus's change but Penelope's as well.
I love that you always add a bit of comedy Like Ody getting all nervous in the beginning lol edit: the difference between his nervousness and shyness there and in suffering is so cute(lil hair tuck)
Fun fact: In the original text, Athena tells Eos (the goddess of dawn) to postpone the beginning of the day and just let the entire world have a really, really long night so Penelope and Odysseus can, uh, enjoy each other's company for as long as possible.
Ody tucking his hair and tidying himself screams bb girl vibes ✨Also the cute nod he does when Penelope asks him for the favor too~ The wholeeee thing had a chokehold on my freaking heart! THIS IS SO BEAUTIFUL!!! Thank you Ximena for such fantastic content! 💖💖💖💖
I loved this animatic, adore it! I love how Odysseous is shy at the begging, scared at the way she may recieve him but outwardly seeming like a nerveous teenager. Brings a shred of youthfulness to his tired frame. Penelopes reaction to him is very nice as well, the way she is reserved. She is very much like Odysseus, especially with the way she tests him later on. Never does she take anything she sees or hears at face value. I like the difference between her and the more warm and flirty movements of Siren!Penelope. And the way she is both angry and glad as she tells him that he is most definitely still the is really neat. THe hug is very full of emotions, and I adore this. Awesome!
PENELOPE JUST VENTING HER FRUSTRATION WITH OFY BY HITTING HIM (GENTLY) JUST TO TELL HIM HOW STUPID HE IS AHHHH. IM CRYING THEY'RE SO SWEET. I ALSO LOVE THAT THEY'RE JUST HUGGING AS WELL AHHH, THE END OMG, THEY'RE BACK TOGETHER FINALLY 😭❤️
Omg I was thinking that but I was didn’t want to come off dirty minded I was like okay so there blushing and I’m bed like that so they may have done it or they slept but I don’t think they were asleep
Athena, in canon, actually delays dawn by hours to ensure Odysseus and Penelope have more time together. Considering Ody is 1/8 divine and Penelope is a Spartan....that room was torn to shreds xD
This made me cryyyyyyy😭😭 •The nervous Ody in the beginning •The switch of young Penelope to older Penelope •The flashbacks •The clips of ur past animatics •The emotions with the bed •The look in their eyes when they fall in love with each other •The crying and hugging at the end did the biggest number on meeeeee😭😭😭 Great job again Ximena! Look forward to more animatics!
I rewatched like 3 times now, just awesome, the level of detail with the owl/Athena watching and the way Penelope at the beginning does not want to touch Odysseus until she knows it's him with the test and so much more, just wow and thank you for making it ❤
The smallest details like the owl representing Athena at 0:24 and the hand slide and thumb brush at 2:30, Penelope's pent-up frustration and longing finally showing in the blanket throw and hitting at 3:38 and just the image of the two olive trees intertwining behind their bed at 5:09 - this is such a chef's kiss animatic and the one I've liked the most out of the ones I've watched!
Ximena, I have such a grin I love all your details, the nervous hair fluff, Penelope’s reluctant, Ody’s Readiness to just Rip the roots up, (for love) and Penelope’s facial emotions… this is, such a sweet ending in your style.
The expressions, the light, the flashbacks, the designs oh I LOVE the designs, everything is gorgeous, my poor heart can't take all this beauty and I'm freaking crying again, such a wonderful song, my favorite 😭💖💖💖💖
The owl/Athena watching from the window is such a cool touch, and I love your art and how you made this! Especially capturing the emotion Odysseus felt
The fact that he was so ready to do whatever his wife wanted but looking so heartbroken when he heard her challenge but he just wants his wife to be happy 🥺🥺❤️❤️❤️
Odysseus feeling nervous about seeing Penelope after 20 years reminds me of soldiers who return home after a long time away. Being away from home for a long time and returning after so long must take a toll on someone and their loved ones.
I'M CRYING IM CRYING YOU MEANIE IM CRYING! WHEN SHE WAS HITTING HIM AND HE GRABBED HER HADN AND SHE BACKED HIM INTO THE WALL AND THEN THEY SLID DOWN THE WALL WHEN THEY HUGGED I'M NOT OKAY I YELLED WHEN I SAW U POSTED. XIMENA U NEVER MISS ILY
I like the interpretation of how Odysseus seems to unroot the bed from the olive tree. From all of the other animatics I've seen he becames angry and upset that Penelope would even ask such a thing, but here even though he is definitely upset from what his wife said, Odysseus still decides to try and do it to give his wife the peace she requested. Definitely pretty moving and heartbreaking. 🥺💔💕 (Also I love when Penelope approach to him and yelling he just backs up until he's backed up to the wall, definitely shows her Spartan energy 🔥)
I’m not crying! You’re crying 😢 Seriously though, thank you for creating such amazing art consistently and for allowing us to share in your talent. And for me personally, I would like to thank you Ximena for inspiring me to pursue animation on my own: I wouldn’t be on this journey without you and all the other Epic animators❤
I love how you animated their meeting. So much feelings. Not just happiness, because after 20 years things are just different. There is a lot going on in the inside. The hesitation. I like you interpretation ❤
Ohmygod I was just thinking about the way this part would be acted out 3:58 and you portrayed it the way I imagined it!! It's so beautiful to see it being drawn 😭
The fact that on "Have my prayers been answered" you showed an owl! (Athena's animal) to show she's been praying to their house's patron deity the entire time for her to bring her husband home safe
HE IS SO AFRAID OF HIS WIFE I’M😭 Man knows that she could and will kick his ass if she wants to and he married her for that exact reason. This killed me.
I love how during Penelope’s part, you drew her as almost angry at Odysseus for even saying he’s not her husband, pounding his chest and everything
IKR AND THEN THIS PART 4:02 “You’re mine” 🥺🥺🥺
because she is angry. the thing with the bed wasnt to prove his identity to her, it was to make him realize that being outraged by her request like that means he hadnt changed so much that he would be a stranger to the woman who waited 20 years for him to come back to her and was crazy to think she would even care.

I loved this animatic, adore it! I love how Odysseous is shy at the begging, scared at the way she may recieve him but outwardly seeming like a nerveous teenager. Brings a shred of youthfulness to his tired frame. Penelopes reaction to him is very nice as well, the way she is reserved. She is very much like Odysseus, especially with the way she tests him later on. Never does she take anything she sees or hears at face value. I like the difference between her and the more warm and flirty movements of Siren!Penelope. And the way she is both angry and glad as she tells him that he is most definitely still the is really neat. THe hug is very full of emotions, and I adore this. Awesome!
1:42 I’m sorry, the way she moved back and dropped the flower broke me 😭
I love how he mentally prepares himself to see Penelope
PENELOPE JUST VENTING HER FRUSTRATION WITH OFY BY HITTING HIM (GENTLY) JUST TO TELL HIM HOW STUPID HE IS AHHHH. IM CRYING THEY'RE SO SWEET. I ALSO LOVE THAT THEY'RE JUST HUGGING AS WELL AHHH, THE END OMG, THEY'RE BACK TOGETHER FINALLY 😭❤️
0:05 I love how happy yet terrified he is to see her again
1.i love how he dusts himself off at the beginning
2.SO SMOOTH
3.so wholesome
4:41 THE HUGGGG OH My GOODNESSS😭
They really went to it after the 20 years ❤ 5:25
Omg I was thinking that but I was didn’t want to come off dirty minded I was like okay so there blushing and I’m bed like that so they may have done it or they slept but I don’t think they were asleep
@ Penelope was full on bodied
Athena, in canon, actually delays dawn by hours to ensure Odysseus and Penelope have more time together.
Considering Ody is 1/8 divine and Penelope is a Spartan....that room was torn to shreds xD
@@dualwieldroxas358 lmao
HIM DUSTING OFF HIMSELF IS EVERYTHING OMG
This made me cryyyyyyy😭😭
•The nervous Ody in the beginning
•The switch of young Penelope to older Penelope
•The flashbacks
•The clips of ur past animatics
•The emotions with the bed
•The look in their eyes when they fall in love with each other
•The crying and hugging at the end did the biggest number on meeeeee😭😭😭
Great job again Ximena! Look forward to more animatics!
i love how you did the same as the official animatic for the epic premier party, but only with your animatics you've made
"'m going to make you cry with Would You Fall In Love With Me Again." great job, im sobbing rn
I rewatched like 3 times now, just awesome, the level of detail with the owl/Athena watching and the way Penelope at the beginning does not want to touch Odysseus until she knows it's him with the test and so much more, just wow and thank you for making it ❤
The smallest details like the owl representing Athena at 0:24 and the hand slide and thumb brush at 2:30, Penelope's pent-up frustration and longing finally showing in the blanket throw and hitting at 3:38 and just the image of the two olive trees intertwining behind their bed at 5:09 - this is such a chef's kiss animatic and the one I've liked the most out of the ones I've watched!
THANK YOU, I'VE BEEN WAAAAAAIIITIIIING FOR YOUR ANIMATICS FOR SO LONG, YOU'RE ONE OF MY FAVORITES ANIMATORS
I'd love to see the Penelope Warrior Au versions of all of these. Your work is incredibly done!! ❤❤❤❤❤❤
Penelope is truly a spartan woman, 100%!
WAKE UP BABY, XIMENA JUST DROPPED A VIDEO‼️
Ximena, I have such a grin I love all your details, the nervous hair fluff, Penelope’s reluctant, Ody’s Readiness to just Rip the roots up, (for love) and Penelope’s facial emotions… this is, such a sweet ending in your style.
The expressions, the light, the flashbacks, the designs oh I LOVE the designs, everything is gorgeous, my poor heart can't take all this beauty and I'm freaking crying again, such a wonderful song, my favorite 😭💖💖💖💖
I love how all the artists are using montages of their previous works just like in the official animatic
The owl/Athena watching from the window is such a cool touch, and I love your art and how you made this! Especially capturing the emotion Odysseus felt
i love the way you drew angry Penelope when she’s telling Odysseus she will love him forever
And the way they hug each other😭
Penelope’s anger is exactly as I imagined! And Ody’s reaction to asking to move the bed - awesome! And the ending!! 🎉🎉🎉
The fact that he was so ready to do whatever his wife wanted but looking so heartbroken when he heard her challenge but he just wants his wife to be happy 🥺🥺❤️❤️❤️
BABE WAKE UP XIMENA MADE AN ANIMATIC TODAY!
(Edit: I'M NOT CRYING I'M NOT CRYING 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭 I LOVE IT OMG)
Odysseus feeling nervous about seeing Penelope after 20 years reminds me of soldiers who return home after a long time away. Being away from home for a long time and returning after so long must take a toll on someone and their loved ones.
IM ON THE FLOOR SOBBING AGAIN. I CAN'T TAKE THIS ANYMORE
XIMENA NATZEL WELL DONE 😭
So like...how do I explainnl MY YEARNING FOR A LOVE LIKE THEIRS?!?!? HOW DO I EXPLAIN MY TEARS FOR AN ANIMATIC?!?!? HOW DO I LIVEEE
I'M CRYING IM CRYING YOU MEANIE IM CRYING! WHEN SHE WAS HITTING HIM AND HE GRABBED HER HADN AND SHE BACKED HIM INTO THE WALL AND THEN THEY SLID DOWN THE WALL WHEN THEY HUGGED I'M NOT OKAY
I YELLED WHEN I SAW U POSTED. XIMENA U NEVER MISS ILY
I like the interpretation of how Odysseus seems to unroot the bed from the olive tree. From all of the other animatics I've seen he becames angry and upset that Penelope would even ask such a thing, but here even though he is definitely upset from what his wife said, Odysseus still decides to try and do it to give his wife the peace she requested. Definitely pretty moving and heartbreaking. 🥺💔💕 (Also I love when Penelope approach to him and yelling he just backs up until he's backed up to the wall, definitely shows her Spartan energy 🔥)
I LOVE HAPPY ROMANCE ENDINGS, ONE OF THE ONLY GREEK TRAGICS WITH A POSITIVE ENDING
Only in Epic though, the real story ended in tragic 😔
I WATCHED THIS AT 5 IN THE MORNING I DID NOT NEED TO SOB AS SOON AS I WOKE UP YET THERE I WAS😭😭😭the power of your art is inane
This is so beautiful, but when Penelope threw the blanket over Odysseus's head I had to pause the video to laugh ahah
3:52 fav moment, love the expressions!!! (especially when she grabs ody's shirt)
I’m not crying! You’re crying 😢
Seriously though, thank you for creating such amazing art consistently and for allowing us to share in your talent. And for me personally, I would like to thank you Ximena for inspiring me to pursue animation on my own: I wouldn’t be on this journey without you and all the other Epic animators❤
I love how you animated their meeting. So much feelings. Not just happiness, because after 20 years things are just different. There is a lot going on in the inside. The hesitation. I like you interpretation ❤
4:21 I know its a emotional moment but,BOOM SHAKALAKAAAA🥰😍💥
FR
BAHAHHAHAHA FR
Ohmygod I was just thinking about the way this part would be acted out 3:58 and you portrayed it the way I imagined it!! It's so beautiful to see it being drawn 😭
Finally this wonderful song had a worthy animation. Thank you for making one such fantastic work
The fact that on "Have my prayers been answered" you showed an owl! (Athena's animal) to show she's been praying to their house's patron deity the entire time for her to bring her husband home safe
HE IS SO AFRAID OF HIS WIFE I’M😭 Man knows that she could and will kick his ass if she wants to and he married her for that exact reason. This killed me.
2:07 is so terrifying and well drawn 👏
2:51 i love how he's already nodding even though she didn't even ask the question. He's such a sweetheart
Not Odysseus being unable to stop himself from blushing the whole time 🤣🤣🤣
