Reading Notes: Epified Mahabharata Section D

Source: Epified TV

In this section of the Epified videos, I found myself drawn to the story of Arjuna exiling himself after retrieving his bow from his brother and wife's chambers. This story is very strange to me. For one, the whole 'only one can be married to Draupadi at a time' thing is odd. Another is why Arjuna left his bow in the chambers in the first place if he knew he could not enter for a year.

I think a parody of this story could be really fun and entertaining. It would be fun to make Arjuna seem melodramatic and have him try and constantly inflict ridiculous sentences on himself, only for his brothers to roll their eyes and tell him he's being silly.

This could be a light-hearted and funny story that would feel similar to the Krishna parody I wrote a few weeks back. I think this would be really fun to right and just as fun to read.

It is a place that I feel very connected to, for reasons I cannot seem to explain. Whenever I hear people claim that Oklahoma isn't pretty, all I have to do is imagine the vie...

Week 2 Story: The City of Wives

Aves Andoran stood on the deck of a warship, loaded to the brim full of fighting men. He had grown up hearing tales and whispers of Ceylon, the Island of Goblins, and had vowed that one day, he would be the one to slay the Goblins. Now, he was leading the expedition that would put an end to that ancient menace. Rough Seas on Route to Ceylon (Source:  pixabay.com ) Seemingly out of nowhere, a massive storm appeared around the ship, and the waves began crashing into the hull of the ship, drenching the men on the deck to the bone. Through the spray of the violent sea, Aves saw the rage of the storm above, as massive bolts of lightning of every shade and color danced through the clouds. Occasionally, one would race down to the surface of the sea and explode with an unimaginable force. Before his eyes, a bolt of green lightning, cackling with wicked energy embedded itself into the deck of the ship, splitting the mast down the middle before rending the ship into pieces. Wh...
