Wait for me, angel of music!
((OOC: Tim Burton-styled Phantom of the Opera and Hadestown. Personally, I think PotO fits Burton's brand a billion times more then Sweeney Todd does, but I won't get into that with you. He'd absolutely do a better job than Joel Schumacher.
Hadestown I had to draw on account of it being my favorite Broadway musical and also finally having seen it for myself this last September. Worth every penny.))
Comics and art are a-coming, I promise. I kind of want them coming out all together or roughly the same period rather than another drought of updates is all.

"È che non ce sta Orfeo dentro a sta storia, ce sta solo Euridice che va all’inferno e nessuno che la va a cercà. E dopo 20 anni riesce a tornare da sola, quando nessuno se la ricordava più, e tu te stupisci pure se non è più la stessa."
-Questo mondo non mi renderà cattivo

There's no actual proof there was hetrosexuality in ancient Greece, as much a lot of cishet teens online like to say there was. Yes they had a strange ritual known as marriage where older men would sexually exploit young girls, but that doesn't mean they had modern views about hetrosexual love being accepted.
Yes, I know a lot of people ship Orpheus and Eurydice nowadays, but that doesn't mean the ancient Greeks saw them that way. They were very close, and we know he cared about her enough to venture into the underworld. But we don't have any explict sex scenes between them in any source, so it could have been a friendship.
Stop trying to impose your modern values onto the ancients.
This isn't my actual opinion I'm making fun of how people talk about queer history.

Some OCs I had the urge to design/draw.
Euridice is the one with the long hair, and that's just a new(ish) outfit for Trance.

And what if I said that Orpheus and Euridice represent the truest form of love huh? What you you do if I told you that Orpheus' music wasn't what broke down the walls to the underworld, but his love for her? What if I told you the love with which he sang and played is what convinced everything to follow him, not just his love for Euridice, but his love for life and everything in it, what then?

new hadestown motif detected: birds
its not as prevalent as other themes but still devloped p much from the beginning when hermes said orpheus "sang just like a bird up on a line" + the bird mention in the last verse of weddingsong n obviously the entirety of hey little songbird,,, and then theres mentions of vultures somewhere too once things start going downhill and then that little duet(?) hadess and persephone have towards the end with orpheus' heart being a bird on a spit n his chest and the earth being a bird on a spit in the sky etc i think that's enough to classify it as a theme in there . thank u for coming to my ted talk

Hey guys, I've decided I'm mostly relocating to Tiktok and won't be active up here so much anymore. I'd be psyched for you to join me there to continue seeing my content. I'll probably post here from time to time or reblog something every once in a while, but Tumblr really hasn't been helping my content and I feel it's time for me to move to the next thing
Thank you so much for all the love and support I've gotten here from y'all. It's meant the absolute world to me ❤️
