Epic from the perspective of someone on the other ships is like, so funny to me
I mean, imagine you have just got through the worst war of your life. Ten long years and you’re finally able to see your family again. Then your captain/commodore I guess/king says he’s going to go check out this creepy island.
Whatever, you were feeling hungry anyways. Then it’s off to a cave, where you sit around waiting for a weirdly long time until the crew of the fleet’s flagship emerge significantly worse for wear. The really nice guy who used to share his lunch with you sometimes is gone. The king is busy having an argument with thin air on his ship. Everyone is covered in blood.
Oh well, at least you can enjoy this mutton they brought back.
Then there’s a massive freaking storm and you’re literally about to die before you’re handed a harpoon and told to throw it as hard as you can at the sky? And you end up tethered to this beautiful floating island but you can’t even appreciate it because the king is busy having an argument with his first mate. It’s super awkward for everyone else.
The king disappears and returns with a cool glowing bag which these weird little creatures seem to think is treasure, but the king insists is dangerous. You shrug it off and go back to your ship.
Finally, nine days of peace! Nothing weird happens and you’re starting to believe you might actually make it home when THE FREAKING STORM COMES BACK YOU THOUGHT YOU WERE DONE WITH THIS!!
You’re blown away from your home and your family and end up in this scary place with a whole bunch of giants and a very angry Poseidon singing about a cyclops. And you’re like what?? We never blinded a cyclops?? What are you talking about?? And then before you have a chance to question it you straight up drown in a tidal wave conjured to teach someone else a lesson.
No wonder they were so mad in the underworld. When does a man become a monster?? Probably when he doesn’t even bother providing context to his men before they die!
I'm very cozy in my little necklace home 🥰
(Your art is amazing as always @the-tech-turn!"

I’m reblogging so my tumblr can become cool too! Also also:
Poseidon when Odysseus exists:
A couple of months ago I let my little sister listen to Epic after showing her some fanarts on Tumblr, she became addicted to the musical even though she didn’t understand a word (English is not our first language (we’re Italian) and she’s pretty young too).
She says she watched animatics to understand better what was going on and she asked me to translate some of the more difficult parts.
Today I let her listen to the Vengeance saga (after I understood the lyrics in order to be able to translate to her everything) and we had lots of fun.
Just a while ago she gave me this drawing saying to post it on Tumblr to give fanarts back to the fans and so that my Tumblr becomes “Cool”.
I’m kinda crying from happiness about this, I’m so happy I got her excited about something I love too and it (positively) melts my heart to see her putting so much work into making something for the media we both love
So thank you Jorge and thanks to all the crew for making Epic, you guys really made us two bond and spend lots of good time together when we used to not talk much or even see each other.
Hiya, it's been a while!! Have dolphin inspired Poseidon as I (continue) to work on god games!
Based on this:

Six Hundred Strike but Odysseus turns into Elizabeth Schuyler (also posted on YT)
Odysseus' Dad Lore really is something Audio by AGC ANDY
I also saw this, I nearly died laughing
I would like to highlight this chat response to “Remember Them” cutting out in the livestream
Are we going to talk about how in Dangerous Jorge perfectly captures Odysseus’s feeling of utter loneliness with his thematic reprisal of Full Speed Ahead? Are we going to talk about the pause after ‘Cause I had one goal in mind’ where you as the listener automatically supply: ‘make it back alive to our homeland’? Only the men singing that line didn’t make it back alive so are we going to talk about that or are we going to choose not to be sad today?
I’m was gonna post all of the cringe stuff instagram would hate here instead, but it’s more of an epic the musical blog now. Also cover art is by Zwist (obviously)
