UNDERWORLD SAGA SKETCHY BECAUSE THE BRAINROT HAS BEGUN I HEARD THE STREAM AND IMMEDIATELY BEGAN TO DOODLE BECAUSE I CANT SCREAM [low sat below the cut cuz it’s the underworld]

Because I know Choso is a popular guy around here! I've been working on this drawing for a few days now, by the way, I'm already making the next chapter of RAN and I'm a little excited because it's going to be... very interesting 😏

Tiresias: i see a man with your wife bro, and he has a trail of dead bodies behind him haha can u believe that?

Odysseus: WHAT??? WHO???

Tiresias: oh man bro, I'm kidding. It's you (not really you lol).

Odysseus: nah bro I'll become a monster because of that man, tnx

So when Jesus rises from his grave everyone rejoices and it becomes a holiday but when I, Count Dracula-

Tiresias: I see your wife........ with a ruthless man who has killed hundreds of people

Odysseus:

Odysseus:

Odysseus: *Monster starts playing* I will ensure that this man will be me

Polites died believing that the world is kind, and yet his death contributes to Odysseus deciding to become a monster. Absolutely devastating

Chat: *sobbing about Polites and Odysseus’ mom*

Jay: Don’t worry guys :D it’s only their final thoughts as they died :D

Chat: *sobbing harder*

The best way to start the weekend was to cry

... but it was a good cry. You know why? You know damn WELL why.

Because Jay finally dropped The Underworld Sa-GAH!

I had the chance to finally listen to these three emotional and beautifully written songs yesterday, and boy oh boy, I did not expect to tear up immediately on the first song. Listened to it again at work with headphones on, and I cried like I lost my mother (she's alive and well). It hurts so much! Oh my god, Jay!!!

Jorge has such a wonderful and emotionally connected mind when it comes to his music because he knows how to tug the heartstrings of his listeners. The song The Underworld sounded like it was written, produced, recorded, and released with such care. I knew he wasn't joking when he said that this saga would be a pivotal moment in the whole musical, and yes, I really believe that the "Boss" of this saga was Odysseus himself.

As you are reading this right now, I'm sure you're having a better understanding that my favorite song of this saga is The Underworld lol. I love, love, LOVE how Polites and Anticlea's voices just melted into their own melodies. I love how they made their voices to just float above the main melody which was Odysseus'. I just love!!! Jay's mind!!

On to the other songs, I love Mason Olshavksy as Tiresias. His voice is really smooth, emotional, and wonderful. I love hearing him sing No Longer You, and he and Jay have the same tone of voice in the song. It's beautiful!! In the song Monster, I really enjoyed how Odysseus' mind began to spiral because of the prophecy they got. I love how he resolves to the idea that "if I need to be ruthless for all of us to get home, then so be it". I love how Jay wrote this song!!!

I'm assuming everyone in the Epic fandom has listened to the new saga, and everyone also went on this emotional rollercoaster with Ody.

Welp, Imma give this saga another listen before I sleep for the day.

Full Speed Ahead, my peep!

odin is like “when thor was born the sun shone bright upon his beautiful face. i found loki on the sidewalk outside a taco bell”

I had a very cute interaction with my S/O today!! I was pre-gaming aka listening to every Epic song because the next saga is coming up soon, and the moment I got into the room, Warrior of The Mind was playing, specifically in the chorus.

Then I just heard my S/O humming along with Athena!!!! He pays attention to what I listen and it's always Epic and I was so... GHDSGFEFJ!!

i am in love.

Who is Tiresias?

Glad you asked! As the Underworld Saga is coming out soon, here is an overview of the character, in both Greek Mythology, and in Epic the Musical!!

First of all, in Greek Mythology he is, to me at least, a very, Very, VERY, confusing figure. (I won’t get into it all here, so don’t get mad at me for not trying to explain it all. Feel free to do your own research, but be prepared.) As in, I can’t seem to find any sources that quite agree on his origins, or the circumstances that surround his myths. Most agree he was blinded for revealing the secrets of the gods, but others that he angered the gods in some ways, or saw Athena bathing, or some other manner. In any case, his gift of foresight was in most cases given to him to make up for his blindness.

The part that gets confusing is he seems to change genders quite a lot, the most notable being the one caused by Hera, turning him female after he disturbed some snakes. Eventually he gets turned back male, though some other versions have Tiresias switch multiple other times (?).

Sometimes he is credited with the invention of augury (using birds to tell the future, usually through observation). He also apparently lived a really long time, almost seven generations, before he died. He was allowed to keep his foresight in the underworld, which then he uses later when Odysseus consults him.

In Epic, we know that Tiresias is the dead prophet that Circe sent Odysseus to talk to. Tiresias then tells Odysseus that he would make it home, but no longer be the same person! He sings the song No Longer You!
