So as I was listening to 600 strike I realized that there was a particularly different squelching sound while ya know…Odysseus is making Poseidon eat his words, and I thought I was going crazy until Jorge released a new short just now.
The squelching was from when Poseidon is choking on his own blood while getting stabbed in the throat 😐
Portuguese Man O’ War Poseidon where his hair is spindly blue and pink, and he’s got a shoulder piece that looks like the body.
i see your octopus Poseidon and raise you:
siphonophore Poseidon
I was right :)
Not Odysseus’ “Maybe you can learn to forgive” line being in the same melody as “ruthlessness is mercy upon ourselves”.
Epic is the stars I see at night and Epic is the arms that hold me tight
To those who haven’t listened to Get in The Water without headphones, or who have but haven’t noticed this…
When you hear the voices Polites and Eurylochus’ shades, you hear Polites in your right ear and then Eurylochus in your left.
Then you hear Anticlea and Odysseus’ fleet in both ears.
I’m unwell :)
Learning how to draw Odysseus is a very small but wild ride, as I get overly excited when I actually figure out a part of his design such as his beard or his eyes. Something clicks in my brain where it’s like “I DREW AN EYE. HES APPEARING.”
And it’s just a small dopamine rush but it’s nice.
When I can easily draw this man I will become an unstoppable force of nature. Good evening.
Today’s agenda: listen to the entirety of Vengeance to find motifs and my favorite songs. So far in order my favorites are…
1.Charybdis
2.Dangerous
3.Get in The Water
4.600 Strike
5.Not Sorry for Loving You
Please note I loved every single song, but I need to re listen to them to give proper thoughts
Ithaca saga spoilers technically⚠️
There’s something about those arrow sounds that just make me…really happy. Like yeah, buddy, you’re an archer. Mess ‘em up, bud. It’s like the reverse of the Polyphemus club splats.
GUYS THIS IS SO PRETTY SOMEONE SHOW JORGE AND TROY!!!
✨️ Hermes Saga Cover ✨️
@epicthemusicalstuff
(The background is from the original "Vengeance Saga" cover made by Zwist)
I saw Jorge posted this "Hermes Saga Part 2" and I decided to do a more elaborate cover yey
ANDDDD AGAIN, the speedpaint (just the end. I forgot to record the beginning when I was doing the staff)
So….hows everyone doing after the watch party?
Valid. I’d also love sit Jorge down and ever so kindly ask him 100+ questions abt Epic. Like yes, yap to me about your massive 3 year long project please. Yap about the decisions you’ve made for Odysseus’ narrative. Tell me why you picked certain instruments for certain characters. Tell me why you removed certain characters and arcs like Lucothea and Nausica. Yap to me for hours on end about all of the cut songs you have stashed away, tell me what it was like writing for these 3 to 4 years. Tell me how many times you’ve had to check and double check the Odyssey and how intently it needed to be studied for this musical to happen.
Oh to be able to sit down with Jorge Rivera-Herrans and absolutely bombard him with so many questions about Epic. Guys I’m currently about to get my Ancient World Studies honours and double major in drama that’s really interested in literature, how receptions shape the public opinions about said literature, and how people go about making these decisions this like my thing and I love Epic SO MUCH. You don’t understand how much this MEANS TO ME
Greek mythos brainrot is so bad that Odysseus king of Ithaka can grow mushrooms using my neurons
