#check patreon for my orpheusgate nash snippet btw. if you care

[nyehilismwriting]

If you had to choose one piece of art to represent each of the Hadea character, what would they be?

nash: spring: orpheus coming to the aid of eurydice, eugene delacroix

i know we've discussed orpheus and eurydice before, but um 👉👈 you know how i love my greek-myths-as-metaphors. other contenders included auguste rodin's the kiss and the last breath of phoenix by mahmoud farschian (which is contemporary, not classical)

rohan: the fall of icarus, peter paul rubens

have always associated rohan with icarus. for Reasons. this is going to become very obvious as the story goes on.

leanna: undine rising from the water, chauncy ives

this is more about the vibes than the Meaning behind the sculpture, but it's just...idk look at it.

ki-ha: tempest. sunset, ivan aivazovsky

colours. sense of tranquility while still portraying a very dangerous landscape. the subtle shipwreck in the centre...

rhaxa: paradise lost, gustav dore

eternally obsessed w this piece - obvs can't give spoilers for rhaxa's backstory, but trust me dude it just works. also, wings.

imxa: man proposes, god disposes, edwin henry landseer

cold and bleak and brutal - and there's some man vs nature stuff going on that she'd take pleasure in. also she'd be all over polar bears eating some dudes. #inspo.

ivi: pygmalion and galatea, francois boucher
