Mental breakdown

Sometimes the souls of children need sweet lies to calm them down before taking them to the underworld..

why is everyone obsessed over romeo and juliet when the holy trinity of gay tragic lovers exits!? like alexander the great, achilles and apollo didn’t lose hephaestion, patroclus and hyacinthus for everyone to forget about them!! like they’re the same but one is a myth, the other is a book, and the one that was real

Ok my theory's on the riddle and who I think voices Tiresias

Disclaimer: my real opinion is that i think Jorge is pulling a prank on us… i don’t think the riddle means anything

(sorry lol)

I’m just throwing this out here just in case

but anyways here’s my theory's

Tiresias is Steven Dookie pulling a Hamilton and going from polites to Tiresias to symbolize the things Odysseus lost

Or Jorge got a Broadway star to cameo so I would have to guess Javier Munoz

Munoz plays the dad role in Jorge’s first musical my heart says go

I thought of this theory because the phrase the chord that serves her… that could be a metaphor for being a parent?

(this is not likely but it makes sense for Jorge to make hype about them being in epic)

Or people say someone from the Discord server? No it’s not thats so easy that’s what Jorge wants us to think it’s to easy

how could you guys fall for the discord trick that’s a misdirection

i mean it could be

Like one of the people who auditioned who's big on the Discord server

I don’t use discord so i wouldn’t know

I think It’s a voice we already know because They wants us to guess… which how could we do if we don’t know the singer?

I looked through the auditions and nothing reminded me of chord or server

unless the name is rearranged and I need to change the spelling to find it

I’ll be examining the auditions further though 🫡

Does anyone have a photo of that handout of how to interpret different untranslatable small ancient Greek words like μην? It was written in a humorous tone and I know I've seen it on tumblr before but can't find it. I wanted to send it to a professor I know who teaches Greek.

Edit: I have it! Behold, the perfect translation guide.
