pushing daisies really was a modern retelling of orpheus and eurydice in which they knew they wouldnt make it out of the underworld so instead they simply built a life together on the stairs

#well. this. explains. so much about my obsession with this show #(all my obsessions eventually circle back. to the people who will fight together despite the odds #who will follow each other into hell and back out.and in this case #if they can't get out. they'll just cuddle in the darkness and bring some friends and snacks along because why not?)#(it's amazing to look at. all my formative #romantic relationships in fandom through this lens: for RPF there's Elizabeth I/Robert Dudley. literally becoming life-long allies in the #hell of The Tower of London as kids and then Robert. dutiful hunting wolf. following her into the hell of court.#there's Dworin. where they follow each other through the hell of exile. and then Dwalin follows Thorin into the underworld of the quest.#where all the shades of their past as represented by Azog come and haunt them #there's Rufus Scrimgeour/Gawain Robards. with Gawain following Rufus through the hell of two wars as dutiful arm for the falcon to return t #who would quite literally go beyond the veil to bring Rufus back given literally the tiniest crumb of a chance fuck the consequences.#and then Holland/Vor. wading through the impossible hell of saving a city that maybe can't be saved. ok. I'll just be over in the corner #gnawing on my new fannish revelations.)
