could buffy and angel do orpheus and eurydice a discussion with myself
#i have problems in my brain ok#but it's like. tragedy! tragedy! tragedy!#they could do it both ways you have buffy-orpheus who loves angel but its doomed orpheus was always doomed to love too much and turn back#and lose eurydice. it doesnt map exactly but the idea of it does... iwry as a memento mori except more of a 'remember you are doomed'#and then angel with buffy has always made me think of the reading of eurydice as art/inspiration for orpheus#partly bc it involves abstracting a woman into a Concept and it is the pursuit more than anything... again. orpheus has to turn#in that moment loses eurydice but it is For the sake of Art that is angel with the shanshu he has to work towards it#even if its impossible and buffy as a symbol of this and again they are soo doomed by the narrative#idk if this makes sense it was more a fleeting thought i love when characters do tragedy
