The Ithaca Saga [UNEDITED]
Added 2024-12-28 00:32:12 +0000 UTC"Ends are not bad things, they just mean that something else is about to begin. And there are many things that don’t really end, anyway, they just begin again in a new way. Ends are not bad and many ends aren’t really an ending; some things are never-ending."
Thank you guys so much.

I legitimately cried so much watching this. My face hurts from crying with you. Those last two songs broke me. You are such an amazing content creator. You are such a sweet human

2025-01-02 16:55:31 +0000 UTCYou are such a sweet person and im genuinely touched by how emotional you got when Athena came back. Thanks to you i noticed so much from this saga especially would you fall in love with me again. You are my favorite creator (dont tell Mortius shh) and i look forward to your future reactions.

2024-12-30 12:15:21 +0000 UTCI don’t know if it’s just me but I love so many different things from each animatic for each song and so Im making animatic mixes for every song taking a bunch of different animatics and combining them together I tagged all the originals and everyone and I posted the horse and the infant and just a man to YouTube if you would want to check it out I can share the links

2024-12-30 01:39:52 +0000 UTCI’ll be honest Casper, you are amazing dumb with names (Alexander Aaron, wet hades) but extremely funny and Entertaining. You might be the highlight Creator i’ve found this year and can’t wait to see more of you. Thank you for being an absolutely amazing man

2024-12-29 23:21:15 +0000 UTCAww, Casper, I just wanna give you a hug right now! I don't know your relationship with your roommates or neighbors or whatever, but I hope you went to someone and just cuddled up! <3 That being said, you are way more hopeful in your predictions than I am! When Telemachus saw his father, I was SO SCARED that he will reject his father since he became too much of a monster. And, tbh, from the story I wouldn't have minded (imo, Ody is a fucking narcisist who does not deserve his wife and son and mentor...), but I was afraid of what Ody will do once he's rejected...

2024-12-29 07:45:18 +0000 UTCI fully believe that Ody was on the journey to becoming divine - the choir, beating a literal god etc. And Athena kind of gave him a choice - see/make a better world together as gods. But he declined, chose his family and chose to become just a man. It's why she says 'very well,' an almost sad acceptance of his choice to remain mortal. Gawd, I love this musical
Maura Gillies
2024-12-29 03:08:04 +0000 UTCOh Casper what an amazing emotional ending. I am so glad to have found you and Mortius through EPIC, and subscribing to your Patreon has been one of the best decisions I have made this year. I am looking forward to your future plans ❤️🫂
MariBrisse
2024-12-28 22:42:26 +0000 UTCNever have I ever wanted to reach into he screen to give you a motherly hug.

2024-12-28 20:51:25 +0000 UTCCasper, you're such a joy! Here's for a great 2025 and so much more epic reactions to share!

2024-12-28 19:17:37 +0000 UTCyou have no idea how much we’ve been waiting for your reaction because we’re genuinely in love with your honesty and reactions❤️, you’ve grown so much and we loved every second of the journey that we spent with you ( me personally i joined late with epic but imma be here waving and cheering for you ) and we can’t wait for what your going to give us in the future and we LOVE YOU ! *hugs*
Caarmilla
2024-12-28 18:13:48 +0000 UTCNot to hurt you even more but someone said that in the last song Penelope sings "waiting" 7 times, just like the seven sagas she had to wait to reunite with Ody...so yeah there's also that TT

2024-12-28 16:50:29 +0000 UTCThe "He fucking built them" feels me with adrenaline I swear
Liss_Carees
2024-12-28 16:42:06 +0000 UTCI've been so excited for your reaction because I knew you would have the same emotional reaction as a lot of us and I don't have any friends that watch this so being able to share this with you was fantastic and I'm so glad I found your reactions for this and can't wait to see what else you do in the future!
Alexandra
2024-12-28 13:58:50 +0000 UTCAn amazing end for an amazing journey! Don't apologize for your reaction, we all felt it when we heard Athenas motif. Thank you so much for being relatable and honest in your reactions 💗 so happy I've found you as a creator! 😀
August
2024-12-28 13:29:50 +0000 UTCOh my god, I cried when I did my listen through, when I saw the visuals, and with Mortius’ reaction, but your reaction DESTROYED me. You’re such a genuine and nice person. I can’t wait to see what you do next! We love you too Casper!
Blakely W
2024-12-28 12:14:20 +0000 UTCIt was an amazing journey so far and I can't wait to see what is to come 🫶 Also no matter how often I listen to 'Would you fall in love with me again' I am still crying everytime I get to hear it. Such a masterpiece.
Teelchen
2024-12-28 11:51:47 +0000 UTCLove the fact Casper matched the "I built it" lyrics
MoonLilyStudios2
2024-12-28 11:38:05 +0000 UTCYes same! So excited for Stories from Styx
Jemina_Monster
2024-12-28 11:33:35 +0000 UTCI really wanted to hug you the whole video while also crying my eyes out. Thank you for sharing this journey. I don't have anyone in my friendgroup who listens to Epic, so seeing you and Mortius react to it and sharing the same emotions means a lot, even if I don't know you persionally.
Jemina_Monster
2024-12-28 11:30:09 +0000 UTCI imagine it’ll be cut, but I feel so privileged to share in this deeply emotional moment where you had to walk away for a bit, and being able to hear your conversation with Teagan and knowing how this musical journey has touched you was a comfort. From one nerdy kid teased for their special interests to another, it has been an amazing experience, and I look forward to Stories from Styx and whatever comes next. Thank you. 🙏🙏🙏

2024-12-28 07:18:41 +0000 UTCHaha I was thinking the same thing!
Josie Tobar
2024-12-28 07:07:01 +0000 UTCYou're such a genuine soul. I hope you reach the stars, Casper. I'm so happy i found your content. Thank you for giving me videos to watch my there's too much quiet in my life and head. I can't wait to see more from you. Like I said months ago in the comments and earlier, you are the most genuine soul and sweetest person. Thank you Casper.
Jesse Dueitt
2024-12-28 06:55:37 +0000 UTCCasper you don't have to apologize for anything. I think we all had close to the same reactions as you. I'm so happy I found you when I did. Going through this amazing journey with you has been so life changing. Seeing you grow and experience everything you have has filled me with so much joy. Also you think is goodbye, nah you're stuck with this patron! I may have come for Epic at the start but I'm staying for the long haul! Keep your chin up Wet Hades! See you in the next adventure!
Halo May
2024-12-28 06:34:44 +0000 UTCThe turn around on Hold Them Down was hysterical! “Ooh, who are we holding down here? 😃 Oh, no, who are we holding down? 😨”

2024-12-28 06:29:06 +0000 UTCAnd 1 second for every year it took (the total for all the waitings is 20s)
Rylie Mohrdieck
2024-12-28 06:24:31 +0000 UTCWe love you Casper 💖 this reaction was everything, I cried too when I heard the songs for the first time and I was also crying with you while watching this. It feels so immensely cathartic, I’m so so grateful for this community you have built and how we get to enjoy this work of art together. I think if I could show this to my 15 year old self who thought she’d be alone in finding so much joy in her hyperfixations i absolutely would. Gonna comment this before I start crying again, but Epic and your videos bring me so much happiness and for that I want to say the biggest thank you I can.

2024-12-28 04:45:00 +0000 UTC22:46 I was not expecting the laughter but it was the most appropriate reaction I’ve seen so far to that verse 😂😭😂
Itzayana
2024-12-28 04:42:19 +0000 UTCNo way Casper actually forgot the word “diegetic” for a moment 🤯😂
Itzayana
2024-12-28 04:39:23 +0000 UTCThe moment he took off the headband at the end and was holding it I started sobbing. It reminded me of when he formed that close connection with Polities and I lost it. Wow how far everything has come. I am so incredibly proud of how much you have grown this past year Casper, and I have full faith that you will continue on to do more incredible things! So ready for this next part of the journey!

2024-12-28 03:38:42 +0000 UTCI knew the ending reprise of "Just a Man" would get to you- it certainly got me! Looking forward to you seeing the visuals with Mortius!
Alex
2024-12-28 03:35:38 +0000 UTCYou never need to apologize for showing your emotions, you being you is why I followed and joined in the first place! Also, I completely understand if you don't remember, but you wished me a happy birthday on discord a few months ago on my birthday that had ended in tears. That happy birthday was a virtual hug when I really needed one, and so from one crying internet stranger to another, sending many virtual hugs 🫂

2024-12-28 03:30:23 +0000 UTCOh man, Casper. I don't know what has happened this year, but know you are loved and appreciated by all of us who support you. We aren't going anywhere. We will stay with you and are all sending you a million deep hugs. You have gotten us through some stuff too. We will be waitinggggg waitingggggg WAITINNGGGG W A I T I N G for you.....<3

2024-12-28 03:24:18 +0000 UTCGods it's so beautiful! 🖤 I adore your reactions and don't ever worry about not keeping it together because no one could!
Kristina [Lady Greensleeves33]
2024-12-28 03:21:56 +0000 UTCI love how quickly you clocked that the song Odysseus was called that as a reference to the monster song titles!
MildlyPerturbed
2024-12-28 03:00:14 +0000 UTCi was a MESS during the livestream, i can’t imagine any fan reacting to this final album *calmly*. please, don’t apologize for showing your emotions! thank you so much for your very genuine content. take all the time you need, listen to it over and over and over again if that helps. (i do) know that while EPIC did bring you to my attention, you’ve become my favorite content creator, and i for one will be sticking around to see what else is in store 🙂🩶
TheBookWyrm
2024-12-28 02:57:08 +0000 UTCCasper, thank YOU for being yourself. I’ve only been in the community since June, but you’ve become such a center part in my life, with your community and analysis and a million other things that would never fit into the character limit of a patreon comment. We may not know the details, but just know that I’m SO FUCKING PROUD of you for getting through this year, and I know you’ll be able to overcome any obstacles in the coming years, with so many of us staying at your side. Love you friend, and I can’t wait for the new year, and all the blessings to come 🫂💜💜💜
DragonTamer200
2024-12-28 02:50:37 +0000 UTCCasper, your genuine emotions are what keep me coming back. I’ve cried so much more with you and with Mortius, than I have when listening on my own. Sending hugs 💕
Olessia Tchijova
2024-12-28 02:50:11 +0000 UTCMuch love Casper ❤️ thank you for your reactions, I love your energy, and I wish I could give you a hug!! The songs dropped in NZ some days ago due to the time zone difference and I was sobbing for ages. But the amount of love the community has has been amazing to see with this chapter of Epic concluded ❤️
Gray
2024-12-28 02:49:15 +0000 UTCI believe the storm that Penelope refers to in The Challenge is the one from 600 strike, rather than the one from KYFC as that was 10 years ago.
MildlyPerturbed
2024-12-28 02:46:38 +0000 UTC"😃 Who are we holding down, here?" "😟 Who are we holding down?"
Box Fox
2024-12-28 02:41:30 +0000 UTCThank you for sharing openly the emotional journey we’ve all been experiencing during this truly epic journey. That you reacted solely to the exquisite music speaks volumes. The animatics will also break you. Every piece of this musical is pure genius.
Dorothy Rosenberg
2024-12-28 02:34:12 +0000 UTCI told Mortius about the dog, so I'm gonna give you, Casper, a nicer factoid from The Odyssey left out of Epic: The Musical. After Penelope tests Odysseus about the wedding bed and they reunite, they obviously "spend the night together"; Athena, the best wingwoman there is, persuades the Dawn to hold off the morning a little longer, so Odysseus and Penelope can spend as much time together as possible on their first night. You bursting into laughter when the one suitor starts trying to persuade Odysseus into letting them ago is SUCH a mood. Like yeah, no, none of you are leaving here alive, I'm sorry.
Beckerini
2024-12-28 02:30:00 +0000 UTCI'm glad to see I wasn't alone in how I reacted. We loved taking this journey with you. Now we will continue with new musicals. 💛
Madysen
2024-12-28 02:28:25 +0000 UTCDon't you worry Casper, I've been listening to this saga almost non-stop from the moment it came out and have cried my eyes out multiple times already, and I was right there with you watching this too, sobbing and red-eyed once again :'D It's such a beautiful, bittersweet ending. All the songs are absolutely freaking amazing. (Also I agree wholeheartedly with everyone I've seen reacting to it; Hold them down has no business sounding so gorgeous with the things they're singing about, I'm so torn because I want to keep hearing the vocals but not the lyrics xD) Also, just wait till you see the visuals
SlugBug
2024-12-28 02:24:09 +0000 UTCEpic brought me in. Your personality is why I'm staying. Keep doing what you're doing brother. I don't say that word lightly either, when I call someone brother, I mean it. You're an amazing content creator, a great person and such an inspiration to so many people including myself. Never stop working toward your dreams. And know that I'm there with you all along the way.

2024-12-28 02:21:43 +0000 UTCYou will continue to have my support, whether it be here or on YouTube. I may not be able to keep financially contributing as a college student but so excited to see how your journey continues into next year. All your emotions here were completely valid, as many others have said there's no need to apologize for that! I'm sure many of us, myself included, are also a complete wreck. I can't wait to see this continue on OAR :)
Alex Gukgak
2024-12-28 02:16:36 +0000 UTCI have never wanted to hug a virtual stranger more than after seeing your reaction to teagan's vocals in 'I can only wonder'. So, virtual hugs, Casper. It's been one hell of a ride. 🫶🏻🫰🏻

2024-12-28 02:03:32 +0000 UTCNo apologies necessary cas, this saga is ROUGH
Scorpius27
2024-12-28 02:00:29 +0000 UTCHonestly, if I ever had the chance to meet Jorge, I'd probably just fall to my knees and sob, so I 100% support crying over the last saga! I'm definitely looking forward to seeing you watch the livestream animatics, Casper, they're amazing (as usual)!

2024-12-28 01:37:13 +0000 UTCIts okay Casper. We were all a mess for the final two songs. ❤️
Jacob Minger
2024-12-28 01:36:28 +0000 UTCYou don't need to be sorry about taking a moment, the emotion this piece of art is able to draw out of this is why most of us are here. You don't have to 'Keep it together', or feel bad that you cry.
Panda Creations
2024-12-28 01:32:59 +0000 UTCI was so excited when i got the notification. I knew it would absolutely break you. I’m so glad to have been on this journey with you! Thank you for all your reactions and insights! It has been an absolute pleasure and I plan to stick around to see what else you do!❤️ I could offer many funfacts but my favorite: Penelope sings 8 ‘waiting’s and one ‘oh for you’, for the 8 sagas she waited and the ninth where she got Odyssey back ❤️
Kathrine0114
2024-12-28 01:30:13 +0000 UTCI was sobbing when I listened on 12/24. Then again the next day when I saw the visuals. Those last two songs break me, every time
Eleonora Witzky
2024-12-28 01:29:34 +0000 UTCThis was wonderful and I had the same reactions through your the saga
Robert Pembrock
2024-12-28 01:25:13 +0000 UTCthat was a perfect reaction, my friend. I was also fully weeping by the end. please don't ever apologize for sharing your heart and emotions with us, I appreciate so much seeing you be so raw and real and honest. 🫶🏼

2024-12-28 00:42:30 +0000 UTCIt was the storm when Ody opened the bag in 600 Strike. The one in Keep Your Friends Close happened 10 years ago, so I don't think it's that one
Ethan Milligan
2024-12-28 00:39:25 +0000 UTCSo excited to watch this! Amazing reaction, I look forward to watching yours and Mortius reactions just as much as I look forward to the Saga releases. I can’t wait to stick around and see more, wether it’s another Epic video or any other! Thanks for giving us a space to nerd out about this kinda stuff and just have fun and letting us experience this stuff together, thank you
Montavious
2024-12-28 00:39:17 +0000 UTCIt was the storm when the wind bag was open during Keep your friends close. I think.
