When it wasn't putting on an actual production, the theatre could get so cold that you could have sworn you could see your own breath; all the way at the very back row of seats, it was difficult to see the stage and to see if Sidney was actually doing any good with running her lines.

Derek and Hallie and Randy were near the front, sat at the row behind the very front, cheering her on and although they kept asking you to join them, you didn't want to intrude on their moment. It wasn't your place, anyway, as Mickey's partner, you were just an additional piece of flesh to the group and you weren't really that close to any of them; except maybe Randy, as he did have a similar taste in films to you.

You were more preoccupied with the man of the hour as it was, though. With his hand on your thigh and his lips on your neck, you couldn't help but to smile and laugh when he nibbled and nipped at the sensitive skin nearest to your throat; his hand slowly trailing further up, towards the waistband of your cargo trousers. But then he stopped, and you were more than displeased as you let out a soft groan under your breath.

"You're freezing, come here," he murmured, spreading his legs and getting as comfortable as he could.

When you dared to sit on his lap, he wasted no time in shrugging off his jacket and putting it on you, taking a second to admire how much he liked it when you were his clothes; he didn't think about resuming his previous activity, keeping you steady on his lap as you shifted around until your back was against his chest and he could lay his chin on your shoulder, keeping you oh so terribly close.

He was so warm, so soft and so welcoming as he held onto you tightly. He wouldn't be going anywhere any time soon, and was more than happy to let you steal some of his warmth as he slowly began to kiss up and down the side of your neck, occasionally stopping to gently bite the edge of your ear. He was trying to rile you up, trying to make you yelp his name and beg for an actual kiss, but he knew that it would take more than that.

Maybe he didn't have the purest of intentions, but Mickey did quite like holding you against him with your back against his chest.

"Mickey, I know what you're trying to do," you warned with a slight growl to your voice.

You could see right through him, you always had a talent for being able to see his most dark and insidious intentions, and although Mickey often despised it and loathed it, he couldn't help but to smile this time as he licked his lips and swallowed thickly.

He wanted to know how far he could push you to get a reaction out of you; maybe he could push you to the point where you were out of breath and absolutely ragged, begging for him to hurry up and kiss you properly. Maybe he could make you need it so badly that you would say it loud enough for Sidney to hear it on the stage; he did always like it when you got tired of him, and he always more than made up for it with all the kisses he could.

Sometimes he had to rent horror films to watch with you, but he usually could make it all up to you by peppering every inch of you with the sweet kisses that he knew you liked so much.

Usually.

Mickey always did like it that you weren't stupid and that you would always end up knowing what he was doing, what little games he was trying to play; it kept things interesting in your relationship, and gave him an excuse to try and be more sneaky about it all. He loved the little games that he could play with you, even if you did catch him out every single time.

But he couldn't deny that he likes the way that you reclined into him that little bit better; the feeling of having you so close, of knowing that you weren't going to go anywhere so long as you could steal his warmth. He had you exactly where he had you, and he wouldn't have changed that for the world; even if he was asked by his financer to do it, he wouldn't.

Mickey wanted to stay with you, he wanted to keep playing little games for as long as he could. Of course he worried, from time to time, about what his financer would think and whether or not she would ask him to do the one thing he wasn't entirely sure if he could; it was hard to swallow the unthicklable, it was hard to try and come to a solid decision on that one at least.

But for now, he could enjoy just existing with you, and he could enjoy the way that you leaned into him and how you stole his warmth.

"I'm not doing anything," Mickey purred, biting down and sucking at a particular spot on the side of your neck that he knew would be almost impossible to completely cover up and to be certain that no one would see it.

He liked it when the marks he put on your skin were visible, he liked it when he could see that you were all his and you weren't going to go anywhere without him; he took a single glance at the others, and drummed his fingers against you as he hummed.

You frowned. "What little scheme are you thinking about now?"

"Oh, not a scheme," he shook his head. "I was just thinking, if you're really that cold, we could always go back to my room."

You didn't want to rouse suspicion, but all the same, the promise of his nice and warm bed and being cuddled into his side beneath his nice and thick blanket was too promising; really, you couldn't be the one to blame - his bed was always so warm and so comfortable, and with Mickey there holding onto you, you were that little bit more tempted. You bit at your lip, but eventually, you nodded.

"Alright, I'm down."

[madrone33]

Sooooo. Just listened to the Original Broadway Cast Recording. I am. Sad. And happy. Idk it's a very confusing emotion, but if you know Hadestown, you probably know exactly what I mean.

Anyway! Here's my reaction to that. Uhhh very VERY long post. As in 3.5k words. I... apparently made a lot of rambley notes and reactions and observations lol.

Whatever. I wrote it for me, and am deciding to post it here because I can. And also because @musical-theatre-gay asked me to tag them when I finally listened to it. So uh, here it is lol.

Also, I'm typing this up at midnight (why do I do this to myself) so if there's any typos, uh, no there aren't :D

Road to Hell

The trumpet thingy lez goooo

Huh, Hermes’ voice is more… is it weird to say gay? Or... black. Idk I’ll find a better description later lol. It’s gonna take some time to get used to the different VAs.

Oh new spoken lines!

The clapping is less like a real crowd for some reason?

Oooh new verse?

Huh, so in this one, it’s more explicit that they’re gods. The other one was a bit more just- metaphorical allusions to it.

Hades is introduced here? Huh!

Lol this Hermes seems more flamboyant.

The ensemble gets an introduction? Cool.

Music strips back; nice. Oh this is a different introduction for Orpheus! He’s already working on his La la la song? Wait did Hermes just say he was friends with his mum? And his mum’s a muse? So Orpheus has a lore reason to be into music here, huh.

Eurydice is introduced here?? Wow cool! I knew who it was as soon as he said “come on in from the cold” lol.

Nice high note!

Any Way the Wind Blows

Oh! New song!!

The ensemble always has such pretty harmonies.

Huh, the seasons are more absolute, foreshadowing how Hades calls Persephone back earlier and earlier leaving no autumn; and she probably rushes to leave for the surface more abruptly as well, coming back with “a suitcase of summertime” and skipping spring.

Eurydice’s VA has less of an accent, and almost sounds more polished? Less rough or smth?

Oh wait these are the lyrics from that song near the end when Orpheus and Eurydice are renewing their promises to each other. “Any way the wind blows.”

“Whether weather” I like that.

Wait, am I tripping? There sounds like there’s multiple girls singing. Are they the Fates? Ahhh I can’t tell who’s who RIP

Oooh I love the riffs on “any way the wind blo-o-ows.”

Is this song going to replace the one she was introduced in originally?

That little piano trill is from a later song, and I can’t remember which, but it is giving me Bad Vibes, I don’t trust it.

Oh huh, Hermes and Orpheus have an actual relationship in this one?

Come Home with Me

Another new song!

Lol Hermes being Orpheus’ wingman.

OMG LMAO. “Bro, listen, don’t come on too strong.” “Ok, yeah, yeah, gottit.” One second later: “Come home with me-”

The ensemble backing his words. Bro you are coming on REAL strong rn lol.

Hermes is probs face palming in the back.

XD omg I love her. The way she twisted that from “play the lyre” to “a liar and a player.”

Awww Hermes is such a wingman.

Spring as in the season but also mending Hades’ and Persephone’s relationship!

Aw no, Eurydice, I know it sounds like he’s crazy, but bro is SMITTEN. Put him out of his misery and give him a chance lol.

Wedding Song

A wedding song 👀??

Yo wait this tune is the one Hades and Persephone sing in, uh, Chant I think? But a more happy version!

Also these lyrics with the river and wedding band become callbacks in the last duet song when they renew their promises!

I like Orpheus’ voice!

These are some bold promises there, Orpheus. And we see later how he can’t really keep it.

Awww he sounds so bashful and shy. Also, Eurydice, I get that you’re not an artist, but as an artist, you can’t ask us to show our first drafts!! That’s like, super awkward and embarrassing putting us on the spot like that lmao.

Oooh we’re getting the La la la’s here! It’s always so pretty.

From her reaction, I’m guessing something physically happened? Did flowers spontaneously bloom or something? Does Orpheus have superpowers? Or was it just a feeling of pure wonder and happiness from all the amazing harmonies?

Him constantly embarrassedly and almost defensively saying the song’s not finished is so relatable tho.

Oh she’s enabling him in making the song! She’s not bitter and disillusioned about it yet.

Her joining in on his hopeful promises.

Epic I

Ah, here’s Epic I! I'd wondered about that in the original.

Oh? The La la la’s aren’t an original melody? It’s an instinctive one?? Hermes, spill the tea.

Yo we’re getting this tune??? The one that Orpheus uses to convince Hades at the end!

Is it just me, or are there not a lot of rhymes in this verse?

It was Hades’ and Persephone’s song???? Damn.

It’s kinda funny; this Orpheus’ speaking voice is higher than the first, but his singing voice is rougher. At least to me lol.

Livin’ it Up on Top

Huh this is a different start.

Omg EPIC: The Musical has taken over my brain. Anytime I hear the word “Waiting” I just-

Persephone’s VA in this is surprisingly similar to the other one!

Lol I’m always down for some Underworld/Hell/Death jokes.

Hmm with Eurydice’s added songs, Persephone’s line of “Who says times are hard” is almost mockingly blase, kinda showing her privileged worldview.

Dance break! This is even more of a party song than the first version lol.

There’s more interjections during Orpheus’ speech.

Wait, is that a lyric change, or am I remembering wrong? I think in the first version it was “May the world we dream about be the one we live in now” and now it’s “To the world we dream about, and the world we live in now”?

All I've Ever Known ("In spite of herself...") (Intro)

An interlude?

Hey, this is the thing Hermes says in the last song after Eurydice is gone! The “he could make you see how the world could be in spite of the way it is.”

All I've Ever Known

Smooth transition!

Oh ok cool, we still got this one!

This song is a lot more sweet here, with the previous context.

"I don't wanna go back to the lonely life!" Ahhh her high note!

Why is Orpheus such a… disney princess? Y’know? Like, he’s singing to birds and trees, saying he always knew his beloved before he met her, has a personal backing choir, a muse as a mother and a god as a guardian, and intuitively knew Hades’ and Persephone’s ancient melody. I mean I’m not complaining, but it’s kinda funny how magical girl he is in this version.

These are some weird note progressions on the violin or viola or whichever it is. It’s almost a pretty tune, until it goes slightly minor or off key or something.

Oh no not this part! These promises they can’t keep.

But then she leeeeeaves!

Way Down Hadestown

Those are some ominous strings and piano.

New verse?

The wall is mentioned this early?

Huh, Hermes is singing this part with the “everybody hungry”? I could’ve sworn it was Orpheus in the other.

I like how it goes from “chromium throne” to “thrown to the bottom.” I just really like homophones, ok?

Ooh! An awesome bass voice is an awesome bass voice.

"Kinda makes you wonder how it feels..." Eurydice, noooo.

A Gathering Storm

Another new song? Is that an organ? It’s so cool.

Wait, no I know those choir harmonies… I’m getting “Eurydice leaving” vibes, is that right or…? And also, I think they sang the “Any way the wind blows” tune?

She sounds so resigned now, damn.

I never actually put together that Hades calling Persephone back early had a bigger impact than just on their relationship, that the consequences on the wider world triggered the winter that made Eurydice so desperate for material safety.

Ohhhh! So THIS is why Orpheus is so determined to finish his song!!

Oh no Orpheuuuus! I know the song is super important, I mean, it does bring back spring and fall, and it’s literally what gives you a chance with Hades, but you wouldn’t need that chance if she hadn’t left/died! Focus on your WIFE.

But also, the creative tunnel vision is so real lol. Who needs food and sleep when you’re in The Zone, amirite?

Epic II

This tune again! I… don’t think this is in the original either? The lyrics are unfamiliar.

Since Helios is sometimes literally just the sun, the way the lyrics say “he thinks of his wife in the arms of the sun, and jealousy fuels him” makes it sound like Persephone’s having an affair lol.

"With doubt that his lover will ever come back" Oooh. As in; Doubt comes creeping in?

Wait no, I’ve heard this “the River Styx is a river of stones” part! Did I just completely forget that first part, or was it changed?

But I don’t know this part?? Is it just switching back and forth?

The La la la’s come back!

"The pickaxe flashes; the hammer falls [...] and drown out the sound of the song he once heard" I love how the pickaxe and working sounds of CHCK and HOOH literally drown out the sound of the song.

Chant

Ayyyy. It’s Chant! I love this one! Wonder if they’ll have changed anything…

Yo there’s an Orpheus interlude? This is a different version of the La La La’s as well. Huh.

Oooh, the key change thing there to transition back into the main tune was cool.

I knew those “Ooooohhh”s were from something dire!

Oh not the callback to Eurydice asking “Is he always like this?” the first time they met!

A new Eurydice verse too? Will it replace the other one, or just add to it?

It’s darkly funny how almost petty Persephone and Hades’ squabble seems now, and yet the ripples from it spiral out to create devastation.

Orpheus having trouble on second drafts? Mmm relatable fr fr.

Orpheus is trying to fix the problem at the source, but he’s neglecting the deadly symptoms in the present.

I still love the overlapping melodies.

Oh, poor Eurydice.

Her verses are changed. Interesting. She’s less accusing and bitter towards Orpheus than the original.

Yo wait they get stolen from? Who tf did it, I’ll throw hands rn!

And now she gets caught in a STORM?? Gods, she just can’t catch a break, can she?

Those high notes!!

Oh Persephone’s verse has changed too?? Wait, it’s focused on the people on the surface now, instead of the way they met? … Not sure I like that they cut that, but I guess the change does make sense with how much they’ve focused on the deadly winter here.

Hey wait, there was no Hermes line of “They have this fight every year!”

Hey, Little Songbird

Eugh. This song is still creepy as fuck.

Oh wait, was it a metaphorical storm Hermes was talking about, last song? And this is the storm?

Don’t do that. Don’t call her a canary.

Orpheus is burying himself trying to fix Hades’ relationship, while Hades is over here ruining his.

Huh, there’s no rattlesnake sound.

When the Chips are Down (Songbird vs rattlesnake...") (Intro)

There’s still the shaking chips sound in this one tho.

When the Chips are Down

Oh, that talking part was split from the bulk of this song?

Ngl, I lowkey don’t like the Fates just because… they make the story the way it is lol, but by god, their harmonies are so fire.

Gone, I'm Gone

She sounds more disbelieving and breathy than the other one, which was more resigned and choked out quickly.

Wait for Me (Hey, the big artiste...") (Intro)

That coin bag sound. RIP.

Ouch. Hermes is being pretty cold here. I mean in the original it was fine he was so casual, 'cause he was basically just the narrator, but now with added context of their relationship, it’s kinda mean.

Bro why is he being so… mocking??

Wait for Me

Oh that was split off too?

Ok, so I know she didn’t actually die in this version, it’s just a metaphor for her death, but Orpheus saying “I’m coming too” when going to the Underworld is a metaphor for dying is kinda, uh. I mean you can see how it sounds, right?

Also, why is “Wait” always so freaking sad in the musicals I listen to??

Oh, new part? He’s confronted by… I’m guessing either the Fates, or the workers stuck in Hadestown. I'll go with workers for now.

Omg he’s using the La la la tune as almost a shield and protection and- is he converting the workers?? Holy fuck is he literally a disney princess? Now this is some quality addition shit!

Lmao. The “don’t give your name, you don’t have one. And don’t look no one in the eye” is still funny.

Ok, but the way the whole ensemble is singing “Wait I’m coming with you” makes me think that while Orpheus is singing to Eurydice, the workers are singing to him, following him and the hope he brings.

This new end part is so good!

Also, I love the way the tempo goes back and forth between Orpheus’ slower, more drawn out parts, and Hermes’ faster ones.

Why We Build the Wall

Oh, this guitar intro is new!

God, those low notessss.

Cult shit fr fr.

I read somewhere that they keep adding and building the call and response verses on top of each other, just like the bricks on the wall, and I love it so much.

Why We Build the Wall ("Behind closed doors...") (Outro)

Huh, they’ve split this part from the last one too.

"Step into my office" "And he closed the door behind. Now a lot can happen behind closed doors" God, that sounds so creepy and ominous.

Lol, Persephone.

Our Lady of the Underground

Oh hold on. That piano trill is here? But surely it must come back sometime again later in a worse situation.

Ooh she says “Step into my office my office” like Hades did just before!

Drug dealer Persephone is here lol.

My gal has an underground club XD

Oh I think that “Tell my husband to take his time” line is new.

Way Down Hadestown (Reprise)

Huh, it's called reprise instead of II

New lines?

Oh wow, that puts new meaning on how Hermes told Orpheus he doesn’t have a name.

“Hades laid his hands on ya.” I don’t like the way that’s said.

Ohhh like the River Lethe!

Oh DAMN. She’s forgotten her name?? This reminds me of Spirited Away.

They did a fantastic job making the workers sound so exhausted and resigned.

Flowers

New song!

“When he laid me out.” Ew wait what?

Hold on, Eurydice! Orpheus is coming! Oh, wait. But he fails… Fuck.

Oh no she can’t even remember him!

Come Home With Me (Reprise)

Another new song!

OMFG IT’S A REPRISE THINGY OF THE SONG WHERE THEY MEET! BECAUSE THEY’RE MEETING AGAIN!

AH SHE REMEMBERS HIM!

“You heard?” “No.” Oof.

AHHH NO DON’T BLAME YOURSELF I MEAN IT WAS ONLY PARTLY YOUR FAULT HADES WAS BEING A DICK.

He waaaalked all that way ahhhh.

Ohhhh it was the River Styx (aka the dead souls?) that met him in that earlier song!

Papers ("You're not from around here, son...") (Intro)

Ohhhh fuuuuck. Hades is here.

New song. New song where Hades and Orpheus meet. Omg shit.

Oh Persephone’s here too!

Hermes bringing back the lyrics from that one song near the start!!

Ahhh he’s standing up for himself and Eurydice! Fuck off Hades.

OH FUUUUCK. ORPHEUS DIDN’T KNOW.

“It isn’t true.” Oh shit that line means so much more now.

People aren’t property, asshole.

Papers (Instrumental)

An instrumental? Huh. Wonder what’s supposed to be happening on stage rn.

Nothing Changes

Another new song!

The Fates? Amazing acapella harmonies, but bad advice and I don't like. For some reason, it reminds me of the Diamonds’ songs in Steven Universe. Or the Sirens’ song in Ulysses Dies At Dawn.

Did they sing “That’s the way the river runs” to the tune of “Any way the wind blows”?

If it's True

More new songs!

Oh Orpheus…

No, don’t lose hope! Don’t stop believing!

WHAT! NO WAIT DON’T LEAVE!

Wait, did Hades actually physically beat Orpheus up?? Or does he mean metaphorically beaten?

YESSSS. WORKERS STAND WITH HIM!

Oh now Hades’ later line with the “every coward’s brave with a crowd” makes a lot of sense.

Yessss Orpheus. See through the lies. He sounds so hurt and tired and still determined and Not Giving In.

HELL YES! STAND UP FOR EACH OTHER!

RIOT! RIOT! RIOT!

How Long?

These new songs are killing it, I can’t wait to see what this one’s about-

Oh Persephone and Hades song!!!

She refuses the wine! And remember before, Orpheus had said she’s “blinded by a river of wine.”

Yo she’s standing up for them!

Ahhh so this is why Hades later says “Since my wife is such a fan.”

He sounds so tired, damn.

Oh, he’s using her metaphors!

DUET!

Chant (Reprise)

“Is it true?” Omg it’s happening!

HA! THAT NOISE IS A RIOT, HADES!

Are these new words? I can’t remember if I’m just forgetting how the original goes.

Yeah, they don’t sing the “One, two, is it true?” part in this, huh.

Yesss. Raise your heads.

“Why do we turn away” part reminds me of one of the songs in My Heart Says Go for some reason.

Ohho you’re gonna regret ordering him to do that, Hades.

Epic III

Here we go…

Lmao. Hades being the most unimpressed audience member.

Oh, wait, I think these are the lyrics from earlier. I wonder if they’re still gonna do the original verse too.

Ah the La la la’s!

HA. Yeah I bet that surprised him.

The overlapping harmonies are soooo prettty!

I’m glad they kept these verses.

The way Orpheus uses “Keeps his head low” for HADES instead of the workers!

Did they change it from “with his hat in his hands”?

Omg Hades sung it too. 🥺

And now they’re all singing it together!

Epic III ("They danced...") (Instrumental)

New song!

Ayyyy his song worked! He fixed it!

Hey, I wonder if any of those different La la la’s were from his second draft.

Promises

Another new song?

He finished it <3

Yes! Leave! Don’t fucking look back!

Wait no, is this the song where they renew their promises?

ANY WAY THE WIND BLOWS.

Damn, Eurydice is so much less bitter and hurt in this version.

"If we can do it, so can they!" Ooof. Well now Hades can’t really let that happen, can he?

Omg the DUET!

AHHHH IT’S LIKE THEY’RE DOING WEDDING VOWS.

“And keep on walking come what will” WAIT FUCK NOOOO.

Word to the Wise

A new intro part to this song?

“Can we go?” Aww he sounds so hopeful.

“... I don’t know.” Shit.

The “chips are down” tune!

Why. Fates, just- Why.

The FUCKING PIANO TUNE. I KNEW IT.

His Kiss, the Riot

Yikes. That’s some eerie strings right there.

“The riot starts.” … yeaaaah. Um. If I say I’m sorry, will you let them go without a fuss?

“All my children came here poor, clammering for bed and board [...] Who makes work for idle hands?” Hades. Bro. You are not the good guy here.

Bro. BRO. You don’t have to do this. Just- just don’t do it. Why. Is this really necessary??

"Doubt comes in." Noooooo. Whyyyyy.

Wait for Me ("If you wanna walk out of hell...") (Intro)

New song.

The fucking piano tune.

“You won’t be hand in hand.” Nooo, not bringing back those lyrics!

“It’s a trial” nah Orpheus has got it right. It’s totally a trap.

Nooooo you caaaan’t!

Hermes are you fucking lying.

Wait for Me (Reprise)

OMFG DO NOT. DO NOT BRING THE WAIT FOR ME BACK. DON’T DO THIS TO ME.

Oh god. All the workers are all watching them too.

YO. YO THE FACT THAT HE SAYS IT’S TIME FOR SPRING. AND THEN NEX FALL. AS IN. THERE WILL BE A SPRING AND A FALL. HE’S NOT GOING TO CALL HER BACK EARLY!

“Wait for me?” “I will.” AHHHH, they’re using that tune!

Omg they sound so hopeful. This is too much. I can’t.

The River Styx again!

The harmonies are just- so good. But I know IT DOESN’T WORK.

EURYDICE IS SINGING THE THING ORPHEUS DID WHEN HE CAME DOWN.

Doubt Comes In

Oh god I’m not ready. Fuck.

This chromatic violin shit is creeping me out. Reminds me of Agent Smith's theme in the Matrix.

Not the La la la’s! He’s singing it like a touchstone but it WON’T WORK AHHH-

FUCK OFF FATES! LEAVE HIM BE FOR ONCE!

NOOOO DON’T DOUBT ORPHEUS!

“Who am I to think that she would follow me into the cold and dark again” OMG NO ORPHEUS BELIEVE IN YOURSELF! BELIEVE IN HER!

KEEP SINGING! YOU’VE GOT THIS! BUT I KNOW YOU DON’T! FUCK!

Ohhhh he means a trap in that way. Well ok then NO IT’S NOT A TRAP.

HADES YOUR FUCKING MIND GAMES HAVE BROKEN HIM! FUCK YOU!

“I used to see the way the world could be! But now the way it is, is all I see.” NOOO HE’S LOSING HOPE! BBY DON’T LOSE FAITH IN THE WORLD!

SHE’S RIGHT BEHIND YOU! PLEASE! YOU’RE NOT ALONE! LISTEN TO HER! OMG PLEASE!

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH. FUCK.

THE SILENCE. I HATE IT.

“... It’s you.” NOOOOO

“... It’s me.” NOOOOOOOOOOO

“Orpheus…” “… Eurydice!” I can’t. I can’t. I CAN’T.

Road to Hell (Reprise)

NO ADS! YUS!

THE FUCKING PIANO I KNEW IT. I KNEW IT WAS BAD NEWS. FCUK THIS SHIT.

Hermes sounds like he’s boutta cry. Fucking most relatable thing ever.

“To know how it ends, and still begin to sing it again as if it might turn out this time” is the definition of insanity. We’re all insane here.

“Anybody got a match?” Wait wait was that Eurydice??? Is that a flashback or Eurydice down in Hadestown?

“He could make you see how the world could be in spite of the way that it is” Ahhhhh but he’s lost the ability to see it himself I’m fucking sad.

Spring. He did it. He made spring come back. And Eurydice can never see it. *cries*

The harmonies.

We Raise Our Cups

Oh wait, there’s one more song?

Damn. Living It Up On Top but sad.

Shit. Poor Orpheus. Bro’s gotta be fucked up.

… Ok but now I’m just thinking of an au where he does a Wait For Me III and actually does, uh. Y’know. And then it’s Eurydice and Orpheus down in the Underworld together, side by side in the mines, keeping each other’s memories intact and forcing the whole place into reforms by- idk fucking Unionising or some shit. Sheer fucking willpower and stubborn ass love saves the day. Let me have my delusions.

The harmonising is so goood.

Damn. Goodnight o7

... I’ll probs have to re-listen sometime again with lyrics. Fuck me.

I finally listened to Hadestown! 🎉

Starting with the Original Cast Recording, ‘cause might as well do it in release order. Loved it! Groovy music. Snickered. Cried. Wrote down my reaction as I went, so if you're chill with rambled thoughts and observations, here you go lol

(Soz for any typos, I was touch typing most of the time, and I've edited it but probs missed stuff)

Road to Hell (Live)

Oh it’s JAZZY. Huh. Didn't expect that, but I am living.

I like how at the start they’re simulating a train’s chugging.

Those call and response harmonies tho *chef's kiss*

Kinda reminds me of Udad.

Oh that’s Hermes!

“It’s a sad song” he says, while singing the boppiest of bops.

I like that “suitcase full of summertime” line.

“About someone... who tries.” Oho, we’re gettin into it now! *rubs hands together*

Also, I completely get now why Jorge said that first draft of EPIC: The Musical Hermes was like Hadestown.

Livin' It Up on Top (Live)

That’s a smooth transition👌

Persephone’s voice is really cool. Kinda rough texture?

Oh I didn’t realise Persephone and Hades would be having a turbulent relationship in this.

Oooh Orpheus’ voice is smooth.

They’re all so happy huh. Welp, you know there’s gonna be a crash in their future.

Orpheus seems really grateful for Persephone’s... graciousness? When he said that she'll always fill their cups and they'll raise them to her and stuff. Theory: either she’ll have a soft spot for him later, or he’ll feel betrayed and blindsided by the more cold side of her later.

All I've Ever Known (Live)

I don’t know anything about Eurydice, but is this her song?

Ah yeah Orpheus is singing, so it must be.

Oop. Foreshadowing.

Way Down Hadestown (Live)

Hermes is back!

“Bored to death” HA

“Graveyard” wow the puns/metaphors are going hard XD

I can’t tell who’s singing lmao. This is like when I listened to Hamilton for the first time. I’ll need lyrics, or familiarity RIP

The coins as the percussion/tambourine is a nice touch.

Hades’ voice is DEEP.

They haven’t mentioned gods yet, I don’t think? Just the Fates, right? It sounds more like a mining operation metaphor for mythos right now, hmm.

Epic II (Live)

King of diamonds and spades - like the playing card suits, but also like the mining operation.

It���s the La la la la thing from Wolfy’s animatic! Almost. A different rendition - I bet I'll hear that later 👀

Why is it called Epic II? Where’s 1? Am I missing something?

Chant (Live)

Oh they’re doing overlapping meodies!!

Ah wait this is Eurydice now, gotta go back a few seconds to catch that. I keep getting her mixed up with Persephone 😅

Oh now we’ve got Eurydice and Orpheus relationship troubles? Huh, I kinda assumed they’d be the perfect couple till her death.

And a semi callback to her song, nice.

Hay Little Songbird (Live)

DAMN his voice is deep!

Is this Eurydice??

Is- Is Hades seducing her? To work for him of smth? Ummm.

Not the canary!

That shaker sounds like a rattlesnake, and it does not bode well for a little bird.

When the Chips are Down (Live)

Oh hey I was right! It is a metaphorical rattlesnake!

Does she choose to go to the Underworld of her own volition? I thought she like- died.

Gone I'm Gone (Live)

She does??

Ouch. She sounds so resigned.

Is this a metaphor for her starving to death? Oof.

The harmonies!!

Wait for Me (Live)

“Six feet under” oh yep.

“Lay low, stay outta sight” - getting Hamilton's Stay Alive vibes.

“Don’t look back” ah. FORESHADOWING.

Ohhh the River Styx being a high wall is so smart!

“And don’t look no one in the eye” I must be too deep in the Odyssey related fandoms, because I'm seeing puns where there are none lmao

The HARMONIES!

Poor Orpheus, but I mean, he was kinda being a bit… naive? If he didn’t prepare for winter and just went off in his own head to make songs?

Why We Build the Wall (Live)

Free from who?

Enemy? 👀

(Yes, I'm aware I'm being led into asking all the questions he wants me to ask, but in my defence, it's very effective.)

Oh huh. Wasn't expecting it to be poverty, tho maybe I should've.

Him calling them “My children” plus the chanting is uh. Why does this sound like cult propaganda?

His voice sounds like the Ozymandias poem guy.

Also giving Frollo “She ran, I pursued” vocal vibes.

“Behind closed doors” - ominous.

Ha! Ok nice subversion.

Our Lady of the Underground (Live)

Persepone is a drug dealer XD

That’s a strange note on “there’s a crack in the wall”

Oh no, am I supposed to remember all these band member names? *crying*

Way Down Hadestown II (Live)

Bringing back motifs I see.

The pickaxes as percussion is cool.

Oop, Eurydice is getting a bit of a wake up call.

Chant II (Live)

Ooooh does the ‘backdoor’ Hermes meant, mean that Orpheus doesn’t have to ‘die’ to get there? ‘Cause he didn’t sign anything, which is a metaphor for him not actually being dead in the myth, so he can still leave.

“Hungry for the underworld” - the pomegranate?

And now Eurydice and Orpheus are singing half the La la la la tune each as if to each other from across the Underworld!

Ooh I LIKE those slant rhymes! "Young man, you can strum your lyre, I have strung the world in wire."

Oh this is where Orpheus sings his plea!! I know this is a thing because of Udad's Underworld Blues lol.

Epic III (Live)

The harmonies 🥺

Oh! It’s that part from Wolfy's animatic :O

I’m tearing up bro.

Just thinking that Eurydice was so upset with Orpheus for focusing on writing his song about Hades and Persephone, but it's that very song that is giving him a chance to sway Hades' mind. But on the other hand, if he'd focused less on the song, he never would've had to use it, y'know?

Word to the Wise (Live)

Ha the Fates(?) doing Hades’ inner monologue like, yeah bro u screwed yourself.

Uh oh this is probs where Hades comes up with the ultimatum. Wait no don't-

His Kiss the Riot (Live)

Those strings are creepy.

Belladonna? Oh the poisonous flower.

Did he call Orpheus the Jack of Hearts?

That acordian is awesome.

Fuck, I knew it.

He sounds like the guy who does the creepily ominous monologue in Micheal Jackson's Thriller.

Promises (Live)

Oh huh. It’s my theory from the 2nd song but it's Eurydice feeling betrayed that the world isn't always plentiful and not Orpheus?

Those strings are gorgeous!

Oh! A duet!

When the couple actually works out their shit:

“I do” omgggg!

KEEP WALKING. DONT LOOK BACK.

Wait for Me II (Live)

Aww that’s nice. Persephone and Hades are gonna try too!

Oh no not the “wait” like in Hurricane-

Doubt Come In (Live)

Oh noooooo

KEEP GOING. JUST KEEP GOING. SHE’S WITH YOU

OH NOOOO DON’T FALTER

LISTEN TO HER! HOLD ON! KEEP GOING!

... Oh god

Road to Hell II (Live)

NO THERE'S A FUCKING AD

Hermes sounds so sad but resigned. Like, 'Oh well. I knew it would turn out like this, but I'd hoped.' Which like. SAME.

The instruments stripped away so it's only silence and one voice is so good.

I can just imagine Orpheus collapsed shell shocked on stage as Hermes not unkindly pushes him to go on.

That reprise and ending is so fucking good AHHH omg no regrets. Some regrets. Whatever, it was good.

... Time to listen to it again with lyrics :D

And then I'm gonna listen to the Original Broadway Cast Recording!

[baekhvuns]

Was The Crown good? I'm so behind I didn't realise it came out, pretty sure I haven't finished the previous season 😬

Maybe it's good I don't live in LA, because I would go bankrupt with all the gigs and prices..

I'll start calling you Baeksussy from now on, because you're always up to no good 👀

Literally, because I see people celebrating Taemin's return this month and I'm like "besties, I have some bad news..." unless they surprise us and he comes back early. You know what, I actually don't know who Taemin is???

Me going to see Seonghwa at the night club I came here to drop some money, dropping all my money

Oh yes big accounts are guilty of taking jokes too far and being annoying in general, that's why I have 50% of Atinys blocked akdhiagshahahaa can't stand their asses.

Not stalkers at it again... On a lighter note, Wooyoung paid for Atinys meal, me when. Pay my rent!

You know who should invite Key? Drag Race South Korea, it's apparently happening sooooo

Seonghwa, Ddeonghwa, Hwaseong, Mars, Hwa, Seong so many different personalities. (I set the wallpaper 😭). Truly Seonghwa is genuinely so sweet, nerdy, wholesome, sensitive, smart and sexy too?! He needs to calm down

It's good your friend is using kaddy, it should be much easier! Wish her good luck, may the force be with her. :3

Platinum CEO Hwa in theatres near me? Can he come to my house?

The lacey blouse he's wearing for Paradigm :o we're in danger!!!

Not Seonghwa trying to rename Shinestars again?! What does he have against that name it's so fucking perfect. No Ddeongwives, no Ddeongps.... S H I N E S T A R S

Yes, I'm very into Seonghwa's shoulders and arms era 🥴 and clearly I'm not the only one

Twins AU? But how do you choose :///

Hwa's shoulders are already nice and wide, he wants to commit to the Dorito shape even more 😭 I didn't mind gym lessons, because it meant I could do the bare minimum, but the only thing I do at the gym is exercise my legs (track, bike) lmao. Omfg those exercising games can be fun, but not when the whole school is watching and waiting for you to embarrass yourself 💔

I wonder what's gonna happen in PD3, hope D*sn*t doesn't fuck it up completely

I know a few people who would love to be pulled over by Wonho. Yes, he is!

Uh I think BTS showed up in my dream recently, but only for a second, I was also crying lol

That fucking nose on Hehetmon, Yunho why 😬

"See you later" just like "European dates will be announced soon" right 🤡

Please

Aaaaand we got Sanhwa patisserie!!!

Hongjoong looks cute, but Seonghwa... between him looking like an adorable grandpa, SPREADING, big ass shoes and a tin of crisps I don't know where to look

Me at Seonghwa Kino wife material, lol

I got "full moon lighting up my lovers face"

Bestie, Seonghwa's vlog, so far I saw arms and him flexing his Black Opium perfume.... - DV 💖

I'll start calling you Baeksussy from now on, because you're always up to no good 👀

BAEKSUSSY JEGDKWHDKSHKCUKC 😭😭😭 IM SCREAMING

if he drops one more photo like that, im quitting kpop 🔫

hear me out, one’s the nerd. the other’s the resident fuckboy or whatever. yn likes the nerd twin (let’s name him hwaseong) and seonghwa (the fuckboy) finds that out and decides to make his mission to tease yn about it bUT they come on an agreement where yn begs seonghwa to help her in getting hwaseong and her together which obviously he’s gonna say no too, but then eventually comes around! and so then it starts,,, he’ll tell her what he likes and just watch yn fuck up dbwmdhsk all while he enjoys <33 tho it’ll def be confusing with using the names 😭😭

Hwa's shoulders are already nice and wide, he wants to commit to the Dorito shape even more 😭 I didn't mind gym lessons, because it meant I could do the bare minimum, but the only thing I do at the gym is exercise my legs (track, bike) lmao. Omfg those exercising games can be fun, but not when the whole school is watching and waiting for you to embarrass yourself 💔

I wonder what's gonna happen in PD3, hope D*sn*t doesn't fuck it up completely

I know a few people who would love to be pulled over by Wonho. Yes, he is! /// Uh I think BTS showed up in my dream recently, but only for a second, I was also crying lol

male wife ☺️☺️

I got "full moon lighting up my lovers face"

😮😮 a hopeless romantic i see,,, i got sneaking downstairs to get more cake but it turned out to be a very wholesome au that I will write ONE DAY

“you're not even in your double digits, and your best friend who you have a secret crush on came over for your birthday party. it's after midnight, and you decide to sneak downstairs to eat more cake. you're both as silent as you could possibly be, careful not to wake anyone. you scoot a stool over to the counter and crawl up ungracefully, snatching two small pieces of cake and sitting on the floor to eat. you both whisper about what you'd gotten as gifts, and they tell you they have something else that they wanted to give you in private. when you get back to your room, they pull out a small box. you open it to see an action figure, one that looks like you. they tell you they were at toys r us the other day and noticed it was basically a little you, and begged their dad for it. he agreed, and they went home and wrapped it themselves, poorly but effectively.”

Bestie, Seonghwa's vlog, so far I saw arms and him flexing his Black Opium perfume.... - DV 💖

black opium. ysl. model seonghwa. just happens to be the one the yn and hwa endorse! just so happens! haha!

Can we plzzzzz have an bonus for The line between us !!!

AHHH OMG OFC!!! I literally had planned a whole second part to it but just never wrote it, coming soon to a theatre near you 👀

[killervibe]

[riding-palominos-every-day]

The tie and suspenders aren't 100% accurate bc I could not find exact matches but short king (derogatory) Oscar Delancey is coming to a theatre near you soon👀

Guess who just shelled out £100+ for an Oscar Delancey costume for the fansie night-
