The Unaired Two-Page Conversation

I think we're past the point of possible spoilers, so as promised: the 2pg book conversation that was cut for time (and realism). Originally, I was experimenting with "unsent" books as part of the conversations, but I thought it would ultimately be too confusing and opted not to use that, so anything you see with a strikethrough is an "unsent" book.

(If this text formatting is ultra zany and hard to read, someone please tell me and I'll make it more regular. Allison is Blue, Patty is Red... for reasons... 🫠)

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.

rip ianthe tridentarius... born to be the one and only fucked up failgirl forced to somehow end up as the voice of reason

#like. ianthe is pretty insane we can all agree on this. #she ate a guy. she has nasty infectious rizz she had a girl homoerotically regrow her arm she did a lobotomy. she is a genius and a loser. #in any other fandom she would win hands down. unfortunately this is not any other fandom. #gideon and harrow are doing their whole orpheus and euridyce shit camilla was so codependent w/ her necro she merged her soul with him #pyrrha is a 1000-yr-old butch living in the corpse of her best friend alecto is the fucking vengeful soul of the earth. #don even get me started on mercymorn or commander wake or coronabeth... infact maybe dont get me started at all. #what imsaying is that ianthe may be insane but at least she's logical about it. #she killed a man for ultimate power. dick move yeah. but gideon killed HERSELF out of LOVE and took her gf tryna SAVE HER as a REJECTION. #one of these gals is more fucked in the head than the other BY FAR. rip ianthe second place even at being a failure #ianthe tridentarius #tlt

[jeeaark]

Hey Game. Quick Question Game. I know you want to curate this whole orph vs emps story really badly but like. What if. What if. Instead you maybe give me the option to ask Orpheus to unthrall emps during the final showdown?????? BECAUSE I KNOW HE CAN. LEMME JUST-

Even just to wipe the smile off the netherbrain's dang metaphorical squid face, can you imagine if we coulda just swiped squid buddy from the netherbrain's control?

AT LEAST Give Emps another chance to choose what side to fight on after Orpheus somehow agrees to co-operate come oooonnnnnn

#bg3 spoilers #bg3 #bg3 comic #bg3 fanart #bg3 orpheus #bg3 the emperor #greygold #squid greygold #I realized this silly thought like a month ago #hey orph-why can't we unthrall emps - I would like squid buddy to rejoin our team please #ha but can you imagine if emps still said no though? hurt feelings cranky-flayer too stubborn to switch sides #anyway JUST SILLY THOUGHTS is all (had to doodle)

[wolfythewitch]

Hi! I haven't seen Hadestown but from what I read of Hermes... Wouldn't Annabelle or Helen Disotrtion have fun with that? Well they are more about tricks than they are about tests but there's seeing the tragedy unfold as it was always meant to and "guiding" someone lost in corridors... Idk.

(Also having Martin be Persephone kinda makes Peter the most logical Demeter. Seasonal depression explained.)

And okay but who's the artist that moves them? Jack Barnabas's love for Agnes? Callum Brodie, pleading for what? Gerry looking for his father? Tim coming down for Sasha?

Please tell us more.

In this au, it's tim and sasha! that's why I went for Jon and Martin as Hades and Persephone, because they have a closest connection timsasha, and vice versa

And I've thought about annabelle or the distortion for Hermes but my problem is connection again. In the musical hermes acts as a sort of mentor figure for orpheus, taking him under his wing and guiding him down hadestown. While it doesn't have to be a mentor figure, i still want to keep a connection between tim and the hermes stand in. I was also thinking gertrude (who knew sasha and had expected her to be archivist, was an archivist and would fit a narrator role) or gerry (served under the eye, also has ties to statements and stuff) as Hermes. The problem is they have never really interacted in canon, though it's a degree of separation closer than, say, annabelle haha.

Melanie is another interesting one because she does know Tim, and is one of the few to remember old Sasha. Plus she's a youtuber she knows how to narrate lmao. Though she doesn't feel as right to the role as gertrude

#while hermes is associated with trickery and stuff #in this musical specifically he acts as narrator and retells the story over and over again #in hopes that it will turn out this time #he learned that from a friend (orpheus) who at the start he denied caring for #which is why i want hermes to be someone who has ties to tim especially #but. well. isolation is a bitch huh #gertrude i think i could finnangle #again. degree of separations and all that. im sure theres a parallel universe where they Had interacted HAHA #fuckthisshitimin #wolfy tedtalks
