I like how I can read a greek myth and I'll be like "Oh, well that was nice" but then someone writes a musical based on the same myth and I can feel it rewriting my cells on a molecular level

#something something there's a reason myths were told in song form something something #epic the musical #hadestown #war stories from the sergeant

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.

#hadestown #hades and persephone are so much better at the end of the musical #orpheus' song reminded them of their love of their promise #6 mo here and 6 mo there #Eurydice comments at the start there hasn't been a spring or fall in a while #I believe the strain in the gods' relationship had so affected the outside world #Orpheus fixed that trying to save his own relationship #he brought back spring in a meaningful way only at the cost of his love #he finished the song but lost the girl #idk what it means but golly I'm crying in this chili's tonight

I saw Hadestown today on the West End and I am a WRECK 😭😭😭. Believe me, there WILL be a long angsty post about the show later and about how Orpheus will always turn around no matter how many times the story is retold in hopes of a better ending, but right now I’m tired, so I’ll talk more about it and my trip to the Theatre Diner (literally my dream place) tomorrow. For now, to quote Persephone: “Goodnight, brothers, goodnight.”

I'm 99% sure it's him voicing Satan based on that 2 second clip so

If I had a nickel for every time Patrick Page played an extremely sexy otherworldly being of the afterlife I would have two nickels which isn't a lot but it's amazing it's happened twice.

I made another Undertale animatic! :3

Collab with bestie @drowninnoodles thank you noodle ^^

I’m not obsessed with Hadestown’s soundtrack why do you ask?

Also, it looks better if you choose a higher resolution because YouTube is annoying and lowers the resolution -_-

my dream last night was just the musical Hadestown using the character models from Hades and it really rocked

#Now I was forced to play Orpheus without a script in front of a live audience so that was less peachy #But actually I kinda nailed it?? #Hades #hades game #hadestown #hadestown musical #i am plagued by visions #something to nom on

Made a quick sketch of wnaso family and in the process realized that I drew a similar picture for a commission a couple of years ago. Nice to see some progress in my drawings: I can do more natural poses and expressions now, and I like my style more. I’ll add the old drawing under the cut for those who are interested:

You know what would be an awesome crossover in the Underworld Saga?

What if off screen (…off-song?) Orpheus and Eurydice are actually guiding Odysseus and his men through the Underworld? Cause they’re both roaming the river Styx for eternity after their death. And they’d probably be rooting for him and Penelope.

Things that have made me cry (or almost cry) in the last few hours due to exhaustion:

The end of The Underworld from Epic the musical

The end of Hadestown

Socialising with strangers

A sad TikTok about Aziraphale being lonely as the Supreme Archangel set to When Will My Life Begin from Disney’s Tangled

The board of animal actors used for the Harry Potter films, including the ones that never made it to screen because that is not fair

How pretty David Tennant looks (it was pictures of Crowley)
