So I Cackled The New Clip Of Jorge’s Cut Song That’s About Achilles Facing Off Against Hector And

You’ve heard of Chekhov’s gun now get ready for Chekhov’s Wind Bag

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 :)

I had a dream last night where Jorge uploaded a secret saga before Ithaka, and Hera had her own song chastising Zeus for God Games, and Odysseus and Athena reunited with a We’ll Be Fine reprise.

So do with that what you will

Am I going crazy or does thw beginning of Odysseus’ part in 600 strike sound a bit like the beginning of Athena’s verse in Little Wolf?

Like… “I don’t think you seem to get it” sounds similar to “I’ve no respect for bullies”…

Who knows I guess.

Going to war for 10 years and will take another 10 years to return to Ithaka where my wife and son wait for me (I’ll be gone for a week, it’ll feel like a month, and my cat and dogs have little to no sense of time I fear)

I have like…0 expertise in music, but I WILL find a way to make a motif for Achilles just for me. Just because I want to. For my little hypothetical Ilion the musical.

Achilles’ instrumental motif would have to be something that can be played slowly for elegance, but also rapidly and can be distorted to truly encapsulate his rage. Something similar to how Odysseus’ motif and instrument (guitar) can be sped up, slowed down, and distorted to show his caring, wits, and ruthlessness.

Achilles is a great warrior, but also a musician. We see him drag Hector’s body around Troy, but we also see him gracefully playing his lyre to Patroclus. My current thought is that maybe Achilles’ instrument could be a violin. It’s graceful, can be played in high action scenes, and we have that lovely distortion of the instrument that can work beautifully when used properly. Oh yeah and it has an electric counterpart which Jorge can use for more supernatural moments in the story…or something like that.

4 days until Odysseus gets home

Hey so anyone remember that cut song “Need Her to Be Mine”? Yeah I just realized that the way young Odysseus calls for Athena and says “to be mine” is the same as when Telemachus addresses Athena and says “fine” in “We’ll be Fine”

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.
