#fun fact we ended up with a case of these #because of…reasons. it wasn’t by choice my partner just came home with them one day #we had a box of sixteen that we could not get rid of for years #so they languished in a closet until we finally foisted them off to goodwill last year #but yeah he talks! he has catchphrases #so actually if these came from a goodwill in Texas it mught have been in my closet at some point

#we never did this to each other BUT #my sister had an imaginary second family with better parents and better siblings #and whenever she didn't get her way she'd threaten to go live with them because 'in my OTHER family they let me eat ice cream on weeknights #so in a way she did it to herself

Traditional ant names

Traditional ant names are based on one ant virtue as the first name and one ant “intimidating quality” as the last name.

For example:

Temperance the Absconder

Proportionality the Relentless

Synchronicity the Amputator

Alacrity the Calculating

Efficiency the Eternal Witness

Sometimes it’s “he wouldn’t fucking say that and that’s bad”. Sometimes it’s “he wouldn’t fucking say that but he probably should”. Sometimes it’s “he wouldn’t fucking say that but the joke is good enough to be worth it”. Sometimes it's “he wouldn’t fucking say that, except maybe, in these circumstances, perhaps he might, and what would that be like?” And sometimes it's “he would fucking say that, you just haven’t been paying attention.” It’s all situational.

So I've been listening to my two favorite songs from Hadestown, Wait For Me (Reprise) and Road to Hell (Reprise), on loop for a few days. And on my 400th listen something occurred to me.

Orpheus was writing his song to "make spring come again". He wanted to "fix what's wrong, take what's broken and make it whole." His entire purpose was to write "a song so beautiful it brings the whole world back into tune." (From Come Home with Me).

And he did. Using his love for Eurydice, he was able to finish his song, his masterpiece. But the cost of his dedication to his music meant his love went hungry and went to Hadestown for food and shelter.

He hoped his love and his music would be strong enough to save her, a task we know was ultimately futile but we still sing about it because maybe one day it will be different but also... He did make spring come again. He helped Hades be more secure in his love for Persephone so she could stay on Earth long enough for their to BE a spring. He did take a broken, strained marriage and help them communicate, make them whole. He did bring the whole world back into tune when he sang their song and another pair of distanced lovers began to dance after so long of arguing.

Everyone else got their happy ending but him and Eurydice.

He did not fail, he just not could not imagine that his song didn't have room for his own happiness. It's a reminder that for every triumph there is tragedy, every repaired relationship there is a breakup and that while it may be spring somewhere, somewhere else it is winter. I don't know, that idea of mixed blessing tragedies in the story intrigued me. Because someone's worst day may be someone's best. And that is why we must always sing these songs, to remember on the bright days and to get us through the darkness and to know, someday, spring will come again.
