EPIC: The Cyclops Saga is OUT NOW!!!!

[p0patochisps]

What IS Epic The Musical

I WAS WAITING FOR THIS GOD DAMN MOMENT.

OKAY. BUCKLE YOUR SEATBELT ANON, BECAUSE YOU JUST UNLEASHED MY ADVERTISEMENT SIDE /HJ

According to the EPIC website, EPIC is a loose musical adaptation of Homer's Odyssey written by Jorge 'Jay' Rivera-Herrans. Jay also voices Odysseus, the main character of the musical.

It is completely sung through, consisting of 40 songs. The musical has two acts, which are then split into nine 'sagas'. There are five sagas in act one (Troy, Cyclops, Ocean, Circe and Underworld) and four in act two (Thunder, Wisdom, Vengeance, and Ithica).

As the show is still a work in progress, the songs are still being released on platforms in their entirety. As of right now, the Troy, Cyclops, and Ocean sagas have been released with the Circe saga coming sometime soon.

Jay posts consistently on platforms such as TikTok and YouTube, showing his working progress with little sneak peaks at the songs and little bits of information about each of them that really enhance the listening experience!

Plot wise, like I said, EPIC is loosely based on Homer's Odyssey. Homer was an ancient Greek poet, and he is credited for both the Odyssey and the Iliad.

The iliad is the first of the two, telling the story of the Trojan War and all that happened. The Odyssey is about the journey Odysseus and the six hundred Ithican soldiers took to return to their homeland post-war (Spoiler alert. It doesn't work out very well)

EPIC follows Odysseus as he tries so very, very hard to return to his wife, Penelope, and his son, Telemachus. However, every monster, God, and Goddess in the entirety of Greece and Olympus seems to have beef with this man and he struggles to get home.

He's somehow meant to be one of the most intelligent Greeks out there, cunning and clever and a brilliant soldier (so much so that Athena- Goddess of W i s d o m- decides to be his mentor) and yet he has a knack of pissing everyone off.

Anyway, the Trojan War took him away from Ithica and his family for ten years, and then EPIC follows his stupidly long and complicated journey home in the most stunning, heart-wrenching, tear jerking, awe inspiring way it can.

It's greek mythology, what isn't there to love about it.

I doooo heavily recommend it. So, so very much. So much. Jay is so very, very talented, and all of the singers in EPIC are so very talented. I think the songs are on most platforms (I'll link spotify and YouTube below). I also recommend looking at his TikTok or YouTube pages because this man is hilarious, and the process to the creation of this musical is so very interesting.

Okay bye bye :))

Jay interacting with fans and creators so much is so heartwarming 🥺

Buddy is absolutely spammed with tags and mentions on Instagram alone yet he does his best to repost AND TYPE SOMETHING TO THE REPOST AND BE IT JUST SOME EMOJIS as much as he can and my gosh it's so cute 🥺🥺

I was also so caught off-guard when I simply shared a promo reel of his in my story, saying the marketing is top-tier, and a few minutes later I see the notification "jayherrans liked you story" LIKE HUH???

Protect Jorge Rivera-Herrans at all costs

[suncaaaa]

I recently discovered the EPIC series, by Jorge Rivera-Herrans, and I strongly believe that chb would either have written it and then play it as a musical, or discover it and then they would transform it into a musical (like me). Either way it would be a musical about Odysseus' journey to Ithaca, and it could be a fun way to teach the younger campers/those with really bad dyslexia/those who just didn't want to read it about the story.

Like, the choreographies and costumes would be run by some Aphrodite kids, the songs and music by Apollo's, decors by the Hephaestus' and so on!

Ooohh we giving Razor voice claims?

Throwing my metaphorical hat into the ring, I imagine this specific cover of ‘Hold Him Down’ when thinking of Razor

https://youtube.com/shorts/7yZUuH-jNMM?si=TAO7XfwYKIuPvWxM (sorry it’s a short TwT)

OOOh this is actually really good! I don't think he often goes as deep as this guy does but that's honestly a spot on suggestion. Unless someone sends in one I like better, this is probably going to be Razor's Voice Claim

I love how everyone just adores Hermes from Epic The Musical!

[junoscrybeofshadows]

100 layers and 50 hours (with breaks) but it was worth it!!

So recently I've gotten really into the songs for the "God game" series from Epic the musical that was created by @jayherrans on YouTube!

Now the gods game intro is about Athena going to the gods to let Odysseus go with Zeus proposing a challenge to her. And I got the idea of what if Juno was trying to convince to let a challenger or like free? And that sparked this drawing!!

Each scrybe character represents a different character from the song and for those that are curious here is the line up left to right

P03- Apollo

Magnificus- Hephaestus

Leshy- Zeus

Grimora- Aphrodite

Bone lord- Ares

Wood Carver- Hera

Juno- Athena

Luke- Odysseus (For those wondering Leshy's skin tone isn't green cause I made 2 Versions; this one where i used colors based off the 3d model and one based off how we see him in game)

For anyone that wants to here the song here is the link to video I was listening too on loop for hours! This was so much fun to work on!

[donotopendeadinside]

Divine Intervention: God Games (Lyric Thing)

Warnings: Gods, death, etc, divine intervention. -------- Archemoros: Divine intervention... Is that what you seek? To untie apprehensions that were placed on that sorcerer? You are playing with thunder for a man full of shame... But if he's worth the risk of going under... *Abelia stares at him with a bit of tension as her magic sparks.* Archemoros: Why not make it a game? Convince each of them that he ought to be released... And I'll release him. Abelia: Who's "them"? Archemoros: Neifion! *Neifion looks over and sits up straight as his wings open a bit.* Archemoros: Tynan... *Tynan tenses and looks at his brother is surprise.* Archemoros: Andromeda! *Andromeda sits up and sighs since the main gods aren't involved here.* Archemoros: Myrsky... *Myrsky looks over at his brother with his wings closed.* Archemoros: Boronia! *Boronia glances up as she lounges in her chair, resting her chin on her palm.* Archemoros: And me... What do you say? Neifion: Great! Tynan: Very well... Andromeda, groaning: Ehh... Myrsky: Alright! Boronia, sighing: Groovy. Abelia: Bring it. -----
