HOLY SHIT IT'S HERE IT'S HERE IT'S HERE OMG OMG OMG OMG

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA-

Another thought on Epic the Musical, do you want to know one detail that kills me every time?

If you look at the titles of the songs, the ONLY songs that are named after characters are songs that are named after monsters that are trying to slaughter as many people as possible (like Polyphemus, Scylla, and Charybdis). No human character or even any god gets a song named after them, only the monsters do.

But (MINOR SPOILER AHEAD), do you know what song 38 is titled? Odysseus.

Odysseus, the man made monster, who has become something so far from his own humanity that he is counted within the ranks of the terrible monsters that came earlier in the story. Odysseus, who will absolutely be trying to slaughter as many suitors as possible when he returns to Ithaca.

It's such a small detail, but it gets me every time I think about it! Because not only has Odysseus become a monster in the eyes of the other characters, but he has become one in the eyes of THE VERY MUSICAL ITSELF!

AHHHHHHHHH!!!

It has come to my attention that my Odyssey brainrot is more than brainrot at this point. It is brain decomposition. I’m having a great time :)

Today’s news is a singular degree away from Greek Mythology/Epic.

Just listened to Troy Doherty’s new song “Libra”. Go listen to this man’s music. Absolute fire song. Can’t wait for Scorpio to drop.

Not Odysseus’ “Maybe you can learn to forgive” line being in the same melody as “ruthlessness is mercy upon ourselves”.

Mates, let’s show our Captain as much support as we can 💙🩵💙

As said by Mico on his twitch stream (heavily paraphrased):

it's fine if you want to wait for the livestream to listen to the Ithaca Saga so you can experience it as it was meant with the visuals, BUT it would mean a lot to Jay during all of this to see the fan support in the streams.

So please stream the songs even if you don't want to listen to them yet! Let them play on 1% volume if you're going to wait, but do not stream on mute, your streams will not count if the volume is all the way off!

the situation sucks but its out of everyone's hands; the least we can do as fans is continue to show our support and love by streaming when they're out!

90BUCKS FOR PHYSICAL IS AWFUL

Nintendo my darling you’re getting a bit too confident with those prices why don’t you lower them and then we can talk?

YES LETS BRING MORE ATTENTION TO THIS STUFF! ILIAD! ILIA THE MUSICAL LETS GIVE THIS MAN SOME IDEAS (if he wants to focus on Epic though that’s ok)

*slips Jorge 20 bucks*

So how do you feel about the Illiad?

Mates take a pill ever so kindly. The stream has been canceled as confirmed by Jorge. It sucks, but it’s something out of his control. I have a suspicion that everyone screaming “Captain!!!” Will make whatever it is more stressful.

SO LISTENING TO CHARYBDIS

WHEN ODY CLEARS CHARYBDIS’ WHIRLPOOL AND HES TALKING ABOUT HOME

IT RESEMBLES TIRESEAS’ “TIME IVE UNLOCKED IT”

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

Ya know, I’m curious how Jorge will address Odysseus leaving Calypso’s island. In The Odyssey it’s super simple; Zeus and Hermes pull up to Ogiga (I can’t spell) and basically just proclaims “man’s gotta get home” and then Calypso is forced to help Odysseus construct a raft.

But this is Epic: The Musical. This is Mr. Jorge Riverra Herrans we are talking about. There are so many instances in which Jorge has cranked the dial up from 1-20, making simple instances in The Odyssey more dramatic than they used to be. One of these instances is God Games.

I predict one of two things that could occur for Odysseus’ escape from Calypso’s island.

1. Hermes helps Odysseus use his wits as well as some form of violence like in Suffering/Different beast where he finds out wether or not goddesses can die

2. Hermes helps Odysseus escape Calypso’s island solid snake style on some sort of very long stealth mission. Idk how he quietly made a raft, who knows.

Either way we will see what happens. See you mates on the 30th :)
