okay heres more:

(again adding a cut)

Again what I said before about Patty seeing past Henry's exterior and loving him anyway

Obviously not as solid a connection to the original song and story of tpoto but Brenner tracking Patty and by extention Henry down to the theatre where instead their altercation is above on the catwalk

This one is a bit of a reach, but Henry seeming to give up once Patty was assumed dead, and the fact that Brenner is the one who wins in this situation and ultimately ruins Creelbys potential happy ending

Patty running away from home to find her mother and never being seen again

Both Patty and Henry go missing and are most likely presumed dead by everyone in Hawkins

This just reminded me of the last few scenes of the play, both Patty noticing the static and feeling Henry's presence, and the ending where Henry is introduced to Eleven, setting up the flashbacks in S4

The events of the story being the same as Joyce's play (a witchboy falling in love with a human who sees past others perceptions of him, who ultimately ends up "dying" because of said witchboy)

anyway i just think theyre neat :(

I was listening to The Story of the Phantom from the Goosebumps musical, and I realised it is so Creelby coded its insane

(putting all of this below the cut bc its long lmao)

'Carlo' being the principle of Hawkins High and his daughter Patty attending the school

Patty's mother being a singer and Patty's dreams of joining her mother

TFS reveals that Henry Creel was just a kid and not some monster orchestrating everything like we thought

Henry's telepathic abilities coming with the cost of essentially his sanity and freedom

This whole part reminds me of something Louis McCartney said in his AMA (screenshot)

Patty is the first person he meets who shows him genuine kindness who he immediately forms a bond with

Again, Patty is the only person who sees past Henry's general creepiness, and throughout the play is adamant that she isn't scared of him and she knows he can be good

Something abt both Patty and Henry bonding through music (the dream sequence, their kiss/dancing at melvalds, their plans to run away to find Patty's mother and join her in theatre) and what Louis McCartney said abt Creelby and their connection to one another (screenshot)

(I've got too many screenshots for one post so im making a part 2)

I can’t stand that TikTok trend that’s like “just saw Hadestown and my boyfriend is walking the entire way back to the hotel without looking back at me to prove Orpheus was a chump” because not only do they not get the whole point of the Orpheus and Eurydice myth they also Were Not Paying Attention to the musical they just saw.

Hate people who see WSS as “just a Romeo and Juliet retelling”. Hate people who see Hadestown as “Just an Orpheus and Eurydice retelling”.

Hate people who watch a musical that takes a classic story everyone knows and uses it to explore/critique our modern society and only see it as a funky retelling.

Not Getting The Point of WSS is one thing because it’s more subtle and it can be really easy to just see it as a modern R&J, especially if you don’t really know R&J.

How the fuck do you watch Hadestown and see it as just an O&E retelling? It is one of the most heavy-handed political musicals out there how are so many people missing the point?

Orpheus has to fail. Not because that’s how the Greek myth ends but because that’s the whole point of the message of Hadestown.

Social reform is hard. Changing the world is one of the most challenging things you can try to do. So often we see people try to make a difference in society, to change some kind of injustice in the world. And so often we see those people fail. It can feel so impossible to actually do some good in this fucked up world because we see these people who are smarter and stronger and more qualified than us fail over and over again.

Why do we even keep trying?

Because we have to.

Because one day, someone will try and they’ll succeed.

One day Orpheus won’t turn around.

One day the people of Hadestown will get to see someone escape and they’ll know they can escape too. Only then does the world get to change.

So we have to try. We have to keep singing the sad song, no matter how many times Orpheus turns around, because one day he won’t.

In the Greek myth, Orpheus fails because he loves Eurydice.

In Hadestown, Orpheus fails because we fail.

We try and we fail to make a difference. We try and we fail to change the world for the better. We try to see the world for what it could be and it keeps letting us down.

But we don’t give up. We don’t stop singing.

Hadestown is genuinely one of the best musicals ever. Full stop. This musical is one of the reasons i wish I was smarter because I would love to be able to do an entire thesis on this show and all the themes and messages in it. Some of them are subtle. Some of them aren’t.

It is not just an Orpheus and Eurydice retelling. I am begging people to hear the real message.

Never stop trying to change the world.

One day we’ll make it out of Hadestown.

We just have to keep singing the song.

Curt has since deleted this but with CC coming to YouTube, I think it’s important to share despite that

In reference to this post

I swear guys, just don’t throw a whole fit over what other people ship. Not just in this fandom but in all fandoms. It’s a waste of everyone’s time. Let people ship what they want, it doesn’t matter to you.
