Is Polites actually my favourite character in EPIC the musical or do I just desperately need someone to tell me that it’s okay for me to relax?

She answers his question. He asks her if she’ll ever fall inlove with him. It’s an insult to her. Oh, if you ask this, then can you remove the tree where you carved our bed? No you can’t. You can never do that, unless you took a knife and carved it out of its hold. Then why do you ask me such a stupid question? Can you tell I’m going insane with this song????

[depressedthespiannerd]

one day we’re gonna laugh really really hard about how epic the musical manifested its own odyssey. but not tonight. tonight, we cry profusely

[depressedthespiannerd]

I feel proud of the coloring 🩷

I don’t know what’s happening with the livestream but I want you all to know that in it’s last few moments of being open, the epic the musical discord chat looked like this:

“CAPTAIN??”

“guys please stop spamming captain”

“yall where is the stream??”

“Captain?”

“i can’t find it is it on yt”

“CAPTAIN”

“where is it??? I cant find it”

“happy ithaca saga everyone 🥳”

“GUYS PLEASE STOP SPAMMING CAPTAIN”

“Someone get the mods a medal”

“Guys wheres the stream”

“WHERE IS HE?? WHERE IS HE???”

“KEEP YOUR CHATS CALM HE’S AIMING FOR CONFUSION”

“its 4 am in ithaca calm down”

“CAPTAIN?”

I fucking love the differences between Epic and Odyssey Telemachus

Epic!Telemachus: I wanna be legendary! I want to go on adventures and fight monsters! My dad is the coolest! I'm a bit sheltered and naive!

Odyssey!Telemachus: I am going to hang a dozen traitors so they die slowly and then cut off a man's dick and feed it to the dogs. Please don't make me talk to people

Jokes aside the cast struggling to get to Ithaca irl and then also struggling to stream the Ithaca saga is so funny and appropriate

[depressedthespiannerd]

A Brief Rundown of the IRL Ithaca Saga (to the best of my memory, in probably not chronological order)

jorge (creator, odysseus) decided it'll be cool to celebrate the ithaca saga with the epic cast via a trip to ithaca, greece

surely nothing can go wrong

mico (telemachus) seemingly found out about the trip with the rest of the fandom. he proceeded to plot a trip to ithaca

the epic cast dealt with multiple broken vans and missed a ferry by one minute. they had to cancel a stream because they were too exhausted

mico made it onto a plane

ithaca got hit by a typhoon, forcing them to move another stream indoors

mico got banned from tiktok. it was reversed

mason (tireseas) asked luke (zeus) to stop the rain. luke refused

the crew hiked up to odysseus' palace. they ran into a roadblock. mason looked into the future and did not see a way around it. (they found a way around it)

the crew found a well and sang their epic songs into it. except jp (crew) who just sang happy birthday

janani (aphrodite) also sang "royal we" into the well

anna (penelope) made it onto the plane to fly out to ithaca

hermes (troy) decided to take a plane to ithaca like a normal human instead of teleporting. he got side-eyed by a woman at the airport as he slept sprawled out in a chair. this quickly became a meme

hermes arrived in ithaca to the delight of everyone except jorge. mico also appeared in his videos. mico still had not updated anything after getting on the plane

anna's connecting flight got cancelled, leaving her stranded in a fancy hotel. she struggled to find the toilet in her hotel room

mico finally updated, claiming he was stuck in munich. mason appears in the video and gives him a water bottle, proving he is lying

the fandom believes mico anyway

mico is forced to post another video revealing he had been gaslighting us basically the entire time and was just delayed in getting to ithaca, that was all

troy and talya (circe), in character, talk about tea. troy says the tea tastes like her father's approval. earle (ares) then asks for 1000 cups and breaks down crying as luke cuts the camera

jorge posts a video apologizing for mico's absence, encouraging him to fly to ithaca, new york. mico appears in the background of this video

mico posts a video saying that he's finally in ithaca, but the crew is in ithaca, new york. jorge appears in the background of this video

jp films a behind the scenes video, calling out "some random guy" who just showed up asking if anyone knows jorge. it's mico

janani sings "royal we" again, but after she says "troy was breached" troy comes out screaming in pain. mico appears in the background of this, filming the video from two points above

it's time for the ithaca saga livestream... except it gets cancelled because the connection is bad and jorge's devices are dying

TL;DR: the gods saw the epic crew in ithaca and went "do you guys think it'll be really funny if we just. recreated the odyssey"

In the light of recent events I have a very vivid image of Poseidon or his sirens munching on WiFi wires

[depressedthespiannerd]

Disappointing as it may be, Poseidon himself (a storm in literal ITHICA) stopping the last livestream is hilarious. Shouldn’t have stabbed him so many times ody

[depressedthespiannerd]

kudos to jorge for continually making the release of the ithaca saga an immersive experience by going to ithaca itself, missing the ferry, getting caught in a storm, and having the livestream delayed. can’t wait to see everyone in ten years for the final album!

The King has returned

”don’t be mad at Jorge about the stream cancelling” BRO THIS IS SO FUNNY I COULD NEVER BE ANGRY, THE ODYSSEY MUSICAL BEING AFFECTED BY A STORM? Beautiful
