once again thinking about the parallels of Neil going into the Nest over Christmas break for Andrew and Orpheus going into the Underworld for Eurydice. hows your day going though.

#its minuscule and maybe a bit of a stretch but they're one of my favorite Greek myths so obviously i have to connect them #thank God only one is a tragedy though. one can only handle so much angst.#andreil #andrew minyard #neil josten #riko moriyama #the ravens #the nest #the raven king #all for the game #aftg #nora sakavic #orpheus and eurydice

Goddd thinking about the time loop-y elements of Hadestown really makes the line “I knew you before we met, and I don’t even know you yet” hit different

#you did know her before you met. you’ve met her a hundred times before.#and you’re going to keep meeting her and falling in love and losing her over and over again for as long as people find meaning in this stor #which may very well be forever #it’s a sad song but we’re gonna sing it again and again etc #hadestown #hadestown broadway #orpheus and eurydice #eurydice #orpheus #broadway musicals #musical #all i’ve ever known

(PLS DO NOT READ AS BATCEST)

Jason: alright Eurydice, calm down, no need to get stabby

Damian: I WILL— why am I Eurydice?

Jason: because… Bruce went to bargain for your soul? Obviously Orpheus failed, but eh.

Damian: and what would that make you?

Jason: Icarus. Duh.

Tim: does that make me Perdix?

Jason: no, Tim. Not everything is about you. Perdix is Stephanie

Bruce: but I didn’t push Stephanie off of a high building

Stephanie: you might as well have.

he literally looked back because he loved her. she was already dead. she wouldve still been dead even if he hadnt looked back and they'd made it. she was a ghost. she wouldve come back wrong. it's not a happy ending (yes it is). he loved her. he looked back. HE DID NOT FAIL HER!!!!! its not about getting back what you've lost its about saying goodbye. there is no other end to this story. im done.

#sorry i am having one singular thought all week and its this #orpheus and eurydice #greek mythology

[ID: Screenshot of a chat that says "just leave my queen alone, she's already suffered enough. She wanted a life with her malewife murder monk pilot mechanic racer and you should respect her for that!]

It's Padmé defending's hours for me

I have been seeing more negative (with very weird connotations, tbh) posts about Padmé on my dash lately, and while I'm a firm believer of the "scroll past it" rule, it really irks me a lot because MOST of these takes sound a bit mysoginistic to me and also (to me) shows a lack of trying to understand her as a character, not in a "you don't get her" way, but in a "you don't even try to understand the character and her context in the damn story just because you wanna sound holy than thou" way.

I'm all for accepting takes about Padmé's flaws or having a slightly more privileged/closed view (and that makes sense, she's aristocracy) but these people are SO WEIRD whenever they wanna talk about her 🤨

I'll forever mad that George eliminated SO MANY scenes with Padmé in the movies, but I feel like even if we had those scenes, people's complaints would be exactly the same.

But also i think half of the time people fail at understanding Padmé is because they're also failing to understand Anakin's as a character, idk

#we love Padmé in this blog damnit #how so many people can forget the fact she had also an absolutely horrible childhood and was lonely and used to political backstabbing #and assasination attempts #at fourteen #and it just kept getting worse #the fact that she found a bond with Anakin and fandom makes it all about her being a stupid girl or evil for that it's ridiculous #and some of these takes sound victim-blamey if i'm honest #is she flawed? yes obviously but that makes her more interesting #anidala is supposed to be space Romeo and Juliet right? Eurydice and Orpheus Lancelot and Guinevere they're doomed for loving each other #but loving isn't their flaw actually #the flaw in Star Wars is some old guy called Palpatine he's in the background if you squint and Padmé was manipulated by him too #rambling #star wars #sw #padmé amidala #padmé #anakin skywalker #anidala

something about Hatchetfield is so Hadestown coded. something about how it's a sad tale, but we sing it anyway. as if it will turn out this time. (i'll find you in the next timeline). something about how not everyone can make it out, and those that do don't make it out unchanged. something about love that was doomed from the start (wait for me? i will.) (emma, im sorry, you lost) (i'd have to let you go). something about how the scenery changes, but the stories are the same. something about it was a world of gods and men (there are monsters and there are men).

#i am EMOTIONAL tonight gang. i am SAD.#there's no like one-to-one way to jam the narratives of hatchetfield and hadestown together #but the themes man. tgwdlm and orpheus' music. black friday and hades' capitalism. npmd and orpheus and eurydice's doomed love #remember when tgwldlm first came out and we were theorising that the show was all a loop? that they were all infected from the beginning?#someone's got to tell the tale. whether or not it turns out well #originals #hatchetverse #hatchetfield #hatchetfield musicals #hatchetfield series #hatchetfield universe #the guy who didn't like musicals #tgwdlm #black friday starkid #nerdy prudes must die #npmd #hadestown #hadestown musical #hatchetfield meta

I love that Emma represented Orpheus going down to the underworld to get Killian (Eurydice) back.

I love that Emma's 'don't look back' was her trying to do the right thing and having to let go of Killian to save her family.

But she does look back.

Before she steps into the clock tower she looks back.

She's checking if he's behind her just like Orpheus did.

Love can make us do things when all the logic in the world is telling us not to do it.

Orpheus went to the underworld and looked back because he loved Eurydice.

Emma went to the underworld and looked back out of love.

Love defies all logic.

And just the kill us off even more, the next time she looks back, he is there.

#captain swan #ouat #emma swan #killian jones #once upon a time #they went all out on the parallels #S5 IS MY FAVOURITE BECAUSE OF THIS!#orpheus and eurydice

I understand that the nature of this site means you cannot post a romantic poem (or really anything else) without everyone and their fujoshi mother tagging and adding gifs of their otp. I have come to terms with that. However there are many people doing that who I think belong in hell simply for forcing me to see their bad taste.

#tcp #there is not a single relationship in that game of nonsense show that are on the same level as orpheus and eurydice #they are not even in the same galaxy. u all need to try risperidone i promise it will fix u #everyday i try to be a better person and less judgmental and everyday yall test me. and brother i never study.

his waters of mars moment, foreshadowed by a million preceding events, but this time he's not doing it out of hubris or to prove some kind of point, alone and unhinged: he's doing it for love.

all the way back in before the flood ... i'm changing history to save clara.

#something about gallifrey as depicted in the show at least being a dry desert planet vs all the water motifs #it's like. this is barren land but my devotion comes pouring down. comes the flood #interesting how the zombie virus in waters of mars is also called the Flood #anywau. e . normal #dw #jamie catches up #jamie.txt #doctor who #twelfth doctor #twelve #clara oswald #twelveclara #whouffaldi #orpheus and eurydice #peter capaldi #before the flood #hell bent #doctor who series 9 #the waters of mars

It breaks my heart knowing that Act One!Orpheus wouldn't turn around. He's hopeful. He's optimistic. He believes in all the good in the world even when the world is a cruel and cold place

But Act Two! Orpheus has seen how the world is. He's seen how cruel and cold that it is. He forgets that there can be hope. And that is one of the most breaking things about the musical, in my opinion. Watching this man lose not just the woman that he loves, but all the hope that he had. Watching as he learns that the world isn't this happy and wonderful and beautiful place that he dreams about.

#hadestown musical #hadestown #hadestown west end #orpheus #orpheus and eurydice #eurydice #wathcing donal finns if its true is devasting #his voice just breaks #and i just wanted to hug him and protect him and tell him that it was all okay
