Hadestown is so good though! Would love to read about the inspired aus :)

👀👀👀 Thank you for enabling me anon!! I may have written a lot I’m sorry!!

So I have two legit Hadestown aus (like, about the canon characters) and then several that are basically just a bunch of other ships placed into the Hadestown story. It’s funny, though, because you can’t really do a traditional “modern/fantasy/coffee shop Hadestown au” because the play itself is already “steampunk au of the Orpheus myth” LOL, so it’s kind of just my interpretations and ‘what if’s of the play. My crossover ideas include erasercloud, forsython, serirei, korrasami, and zelink!

Idea 1: I know some people like the thought that the characters are stuck in this sort of time loop thing. My sister firmly believes it's all happening within Hermes' mind, and he's trapped within a cycle of reliving these memories. I like to play around with the idea that the whole show is in Orpheus's mind, and the loop is a relatively good thing. (I’m still calling it au, but I guess nothing visibly changes in the play. It’s just adding extra context that changes Orpheus’ internal thoughts. It’s my fix-it au without actually cutting out the tragedy.) His mother was a muse – what if she was Mnemosyne, goddess of memory, and with Hermes’ help and prompting, she gives her son this loop as a blessing. He's just falling in love with the love of his life over and over, saving the world over and over. Even if Orpheus lost Eurydice in reality, now he’s always with her in his memory.

I like to think that he's very self-aware of his role in this loop. He’s viewing everything with complete knowledge (but still unable to act any differently since it's just a memory), but it brings him peace. Not only is it wonderful to relive all his time with Eurydice, but replaying the tragedy so much it slowly likely takes away a bit of the sting and offers him closure. With every repetition he's analyzing everything. At first he looked to what he did wrong, or blamed others, but over time he starts making new realizations and connections. He starts seeing how so many variables fit into the story rather than just the fateful looking back moment. He sees everything in the play: Eurydice’s private songs, the gods’ fights, and even gets that look into Hades’ thoughts about himself. Just as I'm learning new things about the connections and consequences and themes every time I listen, so is he.

Idea 2: This is more of a traditional au because it’s just ‘what if’s. Here, Orpheus is reliving all this without the help of any muse – he’s obsessively repeating his “mistakes” trying to dissect what he did wrong and trying to change them now that he can see the bigger picture. First, he stays with Eurydice during the storm so she never dies in the first place. He thinks this would have given them their happy ending, but things only get worse since Hades and Persephone still hate each other. The world continues out of balance and dying, and Orpheus must live with the knowledge of the workers still trapped in Hadestown. As things spiral, he tries to use his song but can a) never get an audience with the gods because he can't sing himself into Hadestown now that his motivation to do so doesn't exist or b) he gets there but he's too late and the gods' relationship is too far gone. As the world falls apart, he’s haunted by the knowledge that he could have fixed it. The next loop, he tries to negotiate better with Hades once he reaches the underworld. No deal about looking back. The only way Hades agreed was to demand the workers stay, and Orpheus takes the deal and escapes easily with Eurydice. Similarly, he can’t actually live happily ever knowing that he damned those workers to their eternity.

This continues until the only choice he’s left with is just… not looking back. But every time he tries, something makes him do it. He’s worried she’s not there, he’s worried it’s a trick, he thinks the workers aren’t there, the silence gets to him, or even because of good reasons (one of the original versions of the myth is that he turned back in celebration because he was out and thought she was too). No matter what Orpheus does, he always ends up at that moment, looking back. It always makes me emotional thinking about that “mistake” as fated to happen in order to save the rest of the world, or just unchangeable human nature, or his unchangeable nature, or set in stone because of myth/history. Even with infinite looping chances where Orpheus can break free from his story, all roads lead to the same spot, and there is only one outcome. 💔

Lmao and then we have the crossover aus, because the main relationship has everything I could want from a love story (aside from the dying RIP) so all the songs make me think “but what if this was my blorbos” :0

I actually already did a bit of doodling of a bnha erasercloud version! This one has fit the best because their canon relationship really did end in tragedy, so I don’t need to add any extra angst in my life when I run through the plot beginning to end asdfsd. I think they suit the roles really well, and there’s so much reflection of the weather/wind that could go hand in hand with Shirakumo’s cloud symbolism. Also, there are so many lines about seeing the world a certain way, and the fact that Aizawa’s power is centered around sight (and that Shirakumo canonically dies to protect Aizawa’s sight) is super significant.

Of course I’ve have forsython thoughts – the amount of times I’ve played through “Come Home With Me/Wedding Song” with Forsyth as the wide-eyed, optimistic poet in love and Python as the jaded, poor pessimist (featuring Hermes-Lukas as his wingman). I’d keep the steampunk setting exactly the same. Forsyth’s intense hope despite the world fits “Wait for Me” so well, and he’s prone to self-doubt when pushed too far. Python suits the role so well, and I think there’s some good stuff around “Flowers” and the consequences of his apathy. I toyed around with Mila/Duma being the gods: Mila has a summer song about a bountiful harvest and fun, while Duma’s city is dominated by work and power. Obviously in my head, the love they rekindle would be familial – but the whole point was that there were parallel romances, so I never could commit to that idea.

It was a bit more of a stretch than the previous two, but it was really fun thinking about a seirei version! It’s take place in the normal mp100 setting, and leaning into that hell train vibes from the OVA. Reigen’s totally faking that he can sing this super-powered song to fix the out-of-balance world (I mean, really, what kind of lyrics are ‘la la la’?) but he’s completely earnest in his attempts to show Serizawa how beautiful the world could be. Serizawa is torn between returning to his safe isolation or venturing out in society with Reigen. After he starts getting out more, he gets tangled up with two insanely powerful spirits who pull him into that other dimension by train. Reigen bluffs his way into this dangerous spirit dimension with his “psychic” song. He has a knack for accidentally becoming a leader to large groups of people, so the workers (suffering spirits?) are quickly attracted to him. When he gets there, though, his genuine love for Seri and the world are what convince the spirits to let everyone go. But when it comes down to it, Reigen starts panicking that he’s a fraud and the song wasn’t real. His imposter syndrome and doubt makes him look back :(

A super quick idea was a korrasami one, although tbh Korra may actually may be too self-assured and determined to look back so maybe it ends up okay 😅 It’d be set in a mix of Republic City and the steampunk vibes, with Yue would be Hades and her failed romance would cause the tides to go crazy and harm the human world. I didn’t spend a ton of time on this one because it’s been a while since I’ve had atla/lok brain but maybe I go back to it eventually…

My most recent comparison has been a skyward sword zelink version simply because of how well it fits. A slightly clueless but heartfelt Link plays his special song on the goddess harp. He travels “down below” to save his lover, who previously was unhappy with the way things were. Hylia and Demise used to bring balance to the world but she spends so much time caring for the humans that he gets jealous. The major difference here is it’s interesting twist: “Eurydice” and “Persephone” end up being the same person, much to their lovers’ surprise. How they rekindle a love with two separate people at once I’m not quite sure, but I’m working on it hehe

Like that original post said, I doubt there’s a big audience for any of these -- but either way I really enjoy them and maybe someone else will too! :D

WARNING OP LOVES COCK THIS POST IS ABOUT COCK. ITS SO GOOD AND BEAUTIFUL ❤️ GOOD MORNING TO PENISES EVERYWHERE

I spun more of what's on the distaff--im starting to get a feel for how to draft from this. Decided to pull of a sample to see how it turned out--its quite worsted ! I dunno why but I was completely expecting a woolen yarn from this. Makes sense though, the fibers are pretty aligned the whole time.

Still a problem with tons of lumps and bumps though. The prep is the issue--I willowed it first and it wouldn't draft for shit, so I layered it onto a blending board after that and now it's much better, but still very inconsistent. Next I'll try processing on hand cards first. I wonder how wool is supposed to be processed for a distaff--surely not how I'm doing it ?

#considering prefacing my posts this way now what do you guys think #might need some adjustment #i prefer avoiding the. oh ill just click on this complimentary tag on my post to see more fiber posts theyve reblogged :) and then its just #transphobia.#right so i like to avoid that as much as possible. already happens more than enough. will they stop maybe if i do this ?#this blog is for me more than anyone else so if it comes to actual dick pics at the top im fine with that #distaff #spinning #handspun yarn #supported spindle

I love the idea of humans being built different, it's even more fun when you get to unintentionally traumatized the other people :3

Sorry for late reply! I didnt realize i had mail 🥺💌

No fr, one of my fav tropes in "humans space orcs" fandom stuff over there, is like what we eat/strength equivalent/resistence to stuff = and the reactions thereof to it lmao

OH JUST HAD A FOUL THOUGHT

What if most things just bounced off of us as humans, bc the gravity in Hyrule is different than ours, i mean it is a diff planet (kinda?)

(This is not how gravity works, more like we could have extreme jumping, but roll with my bs science im an arts kid)

or like if we did get hit, it had nowhere near the impact of how it's hit a hylian, like for example: Guardians.

The guardians get possessed/copied into Dark versions after running around Wild's hyrule enough, and so not only is it 10x harder to beat than usual guardians, as its taking nearly half the chain trying to take it down (rather than like 2 usually)

And even better if ur out of the fight bc they still expect u to not be great at it, like ok ur temperature resistent, but thats not helpful in battle-

U get fucking hit by a Guardian Laser Beam, and everyone freezes, the Links fighting the guardian, the Links fighting the misc monsters, Wild mightve even screamed and came running after you-

And you just kinda, sit. Like someone pushed you while u were off balance, and u flopped on the ground, still sitting up even 💀

And ur chest is hot, but not burned or anything

Yeah, I'd love a universe of Humans ≠ Hylians

Maybe ill make a fic or like a bunch of oneshots abt this with Masc!reader, if anyone is vaguely interested in reading it

Otherwise id write it for myself and not bother posting LMAO

Peace out,

🌙

Spent 30 minutes trying to figure out how to start this post so now im just doing it sorry

Phantom gets called cat like by the other heros all the time. Hell some of the league members have even joined in after he met them. Fuck you superman how dare you out his purring

Problem is his new power he started developing. Telekinesis. And it’s very hard to control. Now if he looses focus he starts knocking stuff off shelves or off tables.

Frostbite told him he would keep developing powers till his ghost side was grown but he thought it was done. How many more powers does he need!!!!
