since a ton of people are getting into music as gaeilge because of hozier, can i recommend my fave artist, róisín seoighe? she's a native irish speaker and language ambassador whose lyrics often involve the preservation of irish culture and deep rage against colonization. níl mé marbh ("i'm not dead") makes me cry like a baby and sin do lamh ("reach out") makes me want to burn all of colonialism down. she's also done several collabs with imlé, another EXCELLENT irish language band that does modern-feeling rock and dance music! my fave of their collabs right now is ÉAD ("jealous").

both artists have less than 1,700 monthly listeners on spotify simply because they sing in irish & they deserve more bc their music Really Is Excellent. translations of many songs are google-able & when there Aren't english translations, it's really good practice for people learning irish!

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.

May your hardened heart be woken By the soft and distant song Of all you left here unspoken All the shards we keep stepping on - Take this body home Take this body home Call the wind, and let her know Take this life outgrown Take this broken soul Call the stars, call them all And take it high, take it far, take it home

odysseus: aren't you tired poseidon, it's been 10 years!

odysseus: maybe you could learn to forgive~

poseidon:

poseidon: oh, so when crows remember people who wronged them and hold grudges, its “intelligent” and “really cool”

poseidon: but when i do it, i'm “petty” and “need to let it go”

poseidon: no.

poseidon: *activates his ultimate god move: shatter the ocean*

odysseus: uhhh...there are other ways of persuasio- *drowns*

Tagging stuff on ao3 feels like the thing christians do alone with the priest... Yes father I put Odysseus on a leash... Again... Yes he's on his knees... Yes, again...

they like to go on walks together to get some quality chatting time when madeline isn't busy <3

[image id: digital illustration of edgar, miles harding, and madeline robistat from electric dreams (1984). they are walking in tandem with each other while edgar and madeline are excitably chatting with indiscernible text above them. miles looks off to the side with a small smile and has a thought bubble that says "that damn stupid brick" and a small image of his earthquake brick.

miles has one hand hooked around one of edgar's arms and is wearing a yellow long sleeved button up with a green vest over it and brown slacks. egdar is quite a bit larger than the other two and has his red horns and devil tail curled behind him. he is wearing a light pink button up with a bright pink tie that has a smiley face pattern and an oversized brown jacket that mostly covers his hands and striped reddish pink pants. he is holding his hands nervously in front of him and is looking down at madeline while smiling. madeline has a wide smile on her face as she elbows edgar playfully and looks back at him. her hair is up in a loose side ponytail and is wearing a light blue poofy button up with a dark purple dress that ties into a bow in the back. the background is a yellow to green gradient with halftone texture over it. end image id.]
