Current arc sskk as the myth of Orpheus and Eurydice: Akutagawa died and Atsushi is doing anything to bring him back to life, and when he finally succeeds, when he finally manages to snap Akutagawa out of the vampire state, Akutagawa dies again because he was already dead when he was bitten. Atsushi's incommensurable love for him being Akutagawa's greatest sentence of death, because if he hadn't snapped Akutagawa out of it, if he had loved him less, Akutagawa would still be there.

#And still the audience WANTS Orpheus to turn because if he didn't that'd mean he didn't love Eurydice as much #Adrien is right they're so Greek tragedy coded #ryūnosuke akutagawa #atsushi nakajima #sskk #bsd #bungou stray dogs #bsd ch 108 #mine #Yes someone reblogged the s/kk hands fanart again and the caption always makes me think about an Hadestown Come Home With Me reprise line– #and thinking about Hadestown makes me think about Orpheus and Eurydice sskk

If Critical Role were Broadway,

Vox Machina is Wicked with a side of Hamilton

Mighty Nein is Kimberly Akimbo with a side of Come From Away

And Bell’s Hells is Les Miserables with a side of maybe it will turn out this time on the road to hell on the railroad line…

I just finished seeing the Hadestown musical and I've come to realize that I don't see enough Solangelo as Orpheus and Eurydice. There are a few amazing fics, don't get me wrong, but this trope with them is absolutely perfect. I'd also like the idea of Nico being Orpheus (Obviously minus the music) in the trope. He's experienced so much loss and has finally found someone who loves him completely. (Yes, they still have problems, all couples do. It was touched in tsats, ifykyk how it was resolved.)

I honestly also just want to see them drawn like them, myth or Hadestown. ACTUALLY, OR THE HADES GAME. Like, logically yes, Nico would be Zagreus, but Solangelo as Eurydice and Orpheus from Hades is actually so cute now that I think about it.

#greek mythology has me in a chokehold #i can literally make anything about them #yes orpheus and Eurydice is a tragedy but theyre greek so what do you expect #tragic love has me sobbing uncontrollably #will solace #nico di angelo #solangelo #the sun and the star #pjo #percy jackon and the olympians #heroes of olympus #hades game #hadestown

good news: i finally got to one of the things on my mental list (on what i want to read/watch/listen to)

bad news: it completely destroyed me emotionally and i might never recover

#yes this is about #hadestown #musicals #ugh #i don't know what to tag #my rambles

[therhythmismyblanket]

You ever think about the fact that ultimately it’s the fact that Orpheus “used to see the way the world could be - but now the way it is is all [he] see[s]” is what ultimatley lead to him turning around?

It was him losing his hope for / vision of the world changing for rhe better that leads to his and Eurydice’s demise. It’s him being unable to see anything but the state of the world as it is now, that despairs him

#yes I did start to cry listening to Doubt comes in #feeling very normal about this musical - thanks for asking😌 #hadestown musical #hadestown #eurydice #orpheus #doubt comes in

awwwh they’re so fun together

#eva noblezada #jeremy jordan #broadway #great gatsby #hadestown #musicals #yes i still have my reservations about casting eva as daisy #but for now i’m just gonna enjoy 2 talented ppl interviewing each other #WAIT by reservations I mean the implications of a character whose whiteness is central to her characterization being played by a woc #NOT bc I don’t think eva is talented enough lol eva could sing anything and I’d listen

[danishsweetheartmp3]

sometimes i forget how good the lyrics for nytw hadestown were and then i listen to nytw epic iii and broadway epic iii back to back

like come on…

#trisha talks #hadestown #yes it’s been over 4 years and i still think about this but man… #broadway’s lyrics are just so. direct #like sun on her shoulders wind in her hair the smell of the flowers she held in her hand #compared to just. gathering flowers in the light of the sun #nytw also doesn’t outright state the orpheus/eurydice - hades/persephone parallel #but it’s There #orpheus is able to describe these things and See Into hades because he feels the same thing about eurydice… #that being said i looove the lalala section of the broadway ver. reeve carney high note moment

Not doomed by the narrative but a secret second thing: mourning the narrative

HI! i saw u reblogged the West end hadestown and said you've seen it so i have to ask, thoughts on hades? the character switch when he goes very camp on chant (reprise) threw me for a fucking LOOP. i had been crying beforehand but I was just like desperately holding in my laughter after that. the "young man" up against the door frame? I almost pissed myself. and his legs....

OH MY GOD. OKAY. YES

i'm the wrong person to ask about this because whenever a stage performer turns up the camp to 100, worthwhile questions such as 'is this the best considered acting choice for the character' don't stand a chance. they are completely overshadowed by the gay part of my brain emitting whirring noises. i enjoy it too much to care

but anyway my actual thoughts on zachary's hades are as follows:

i like when hades sucks. i enjoy when he gets to be a melodramatic loser and a villain-y villain, because it makes orpheus managing to get through to him hit much harder for me. so zachary hades with his sleazy attitude and the kind of warped enjoyment he's getting out of playing at being powerful and manipulative fulfilled my every wish. tailored to me specifically

i especially enjoyed his acting when he starts to break down a bit for epic 3, his scared/angry/shaken/lashing out was all delicious

direct quote from the messages i was sending people about the show after i saw it: i will say that he was not very.. idk.. plausible?? in chant 2 convo with orpheus specifically bc he was having too much gay fun strutting around the revolve to sell the lines about keeping a woman lmaooo

also i'm extra sad that we don't have the 'now it thickens on my tongue / now it quickens in my lung / now i'm stricken now i'm stung / it's done already' lines in his kiss the riot any more because they're some of my favourites and i want his gay take on them

#i can't be critical about it i love it too much. ref the lotr musical and tom giles's impeccable gay saruman also #but yes ESPECIALLY during chant 2 the walk took me out i was dying #is there any point in me tagging this as #hadestown spoilers #i loved the whole cast to bits tbh. saw madeline eurydice and lauren persephone so i'm excited to hopefully catch grace and gloria at #some point in the future but i really really loved madeline's eurydice like she's In My Brain Forever now #ANYWAY YEAH #hadestown #ask #anon #gay belligerence

new hadestown motif detected: birds

its not as prevalent as other themes but still devloped p much from the beginning when hermes said orpheus "sang just like a bird up on a line" + the bird mention in the last verse of weddingsong n obviously the entirety of hey little songbird,,, and then theres mentions of vultures somewhere too once things start going downhill and then that little duet(?) hadess and persephone have towards the end with orpheus' heart being a bird on a spit n his chest and the earth being a bird on a spit in the sky etc i think that's enough to classify it as a theme in there . thank u for coming to my ted talk

#crow rambles #the hadestownposting is real tonight !! #and yes i copy and pasted this from discord what about it #anyway yeah !! surprisingly i don't have a ton to say down here at the moment everything's pretty much been said in the main post #now to figure out what to tag this as #hadestown #hadestown musical #orpheus #euridice #orpheus and euridyce #broadway musicals #hades #persephone #etc etc im too self concious to do any more
