good riddance from hades

[ithacas-prince]

Open Starter — Good Riddance

song: good riddance (eurydice solo) from hades

You were walking around camp, looking at the campers, most were just sparring, playing music, chatting, doing archery, etc.

Walking past the Hermes cabin, you heard a voice, singing?

“Farewell.. To all the earthly remains.”

You walked in, trying not to make a noise.

“Come on in..” It was like the voice knew you were there somehow. But they continued singing.

“No burdens.. No further debts to be paid, Atlas. Can rest his weary bones—The weight of the world. All falls away.. In time.”

You probably would’ve thought you walked into the Apollo cabin. Or maybe this was a siren? Whatever.

“Goodbye, to all the plans that we made.. No contracts..”

You looked for the noise, a lyre was heard.

•Farewell, To all the earthly remains. No burdens. No further debts to be paid•

I was inspired today by the song Good Riddance. So I needed to make this while the idea was fresh!!

[duchess-kyuupid]

hi there

can you write idia’s reaction to his fem or gn s/o singing “good riddance” from Hades (the video game) pls? this song and idia both live rent free in my head rn lmao

have a nice day 😸

OMG You literally made my day with this ask, darling <333 I love Hades, and the first time I heard Eurydice singing it I was nearly brought to tears ToT Of course, I'll be more than happy to fulfill your request, and I hope that you enjoy!! For anyone who hasn't played Hades or just wants to listen to the song anon is referring to, here it is! (The audio comes out too loud for me, so I'd recommend lowering your volume a touch just in case! When I was testing it, the sound was just blaring into my ears and I don't know how to make it quieter;;)

~Idia Hears Fem! Reader Singing~

[Tw: Soft angst to comfort] *Don't need to know/play Hades to read*

To say that today has been a bad day for Idia Shroud would be an understatement. It's been one thing after another, each terrible thing piling up on his shoulders heavier than the last. They say that when it rains, it pours- and Idia feels that this statement could not be closer to the truth. He feels exhausted just thinking about how long this day has been, and it's barely even 3 pm! But he's had enough social interaction in all of today to make up for a lifetime of self-isolation. He's tired, his battery has run out- there's no chance that anyone's going to be seeing him leaving his room at least for the next week, and even when he does leave it'll be with his floating tablet.

At last he makes it back to his room, but he's far too tired to do anything but to crawl into his bed and lie there, doing nothing but hope to start feeling better. He doesn't want to see anyone, doesn't want to hear anyone, he just wants some peace and quiet, away from everything that's making him anxious. But apparently he can't even have that, as a sudden knock on his door pulls him away from his sulking. "Big brother, big brother! I have something to show you!" Ortho says excitedly, "I know you'll just love it! Can I come in?"

'I can't have Ortho seeing me like this,' Idia thinks, 'I'm just a useless Housewarden who can't do anything... Ortho doesn't need to see his brother being so cowardly, so utterly worthless that it'd be better if I'd just go back home to the underworld and never see this place again...'

"If you don't wanna open the door, I'll just play it for you from out here!" Ortho exclaims, and suddenly Idia is pulled from his gloomy thoughts when he hears a golden tune ring out from behind the door.

'Farewell, to all the earthly remains,' wait, Idia knows that voice... 'No burdens, No further debts to be paid,' that's the voice of the one person who could make his day even slightly better.

'Atlas, Can rest his weary bones, The weight of the world, All falls away, In time,' That's right, it's you. You're singing. To him.

'Goodbye, To all the plans that we made,' Wait, are you actually outside of the door with Ortho? You're actually here? To see him?

'No contracts, I’m free to do as I may,' Idia heard your voice continue to sing, to ring out beautifully as if your voice was weaving gold through a spindle.

And he couldn't take it any longer. He wanted to hear your singing, not through the door of his room, but right next to him, and he wanted to hold you and have all of his worries from today melt away with you in his arms. He rushes out of his bed and opens the door, his eyes glimmering with hope of seeing you behind it, only for the small smile that was invisibly growing on his face to extinguish when he realizes that Ortho was the only one there.

Ah, and now he feels even worse. His disappointment was so apparent, he didn't even try to hide it when his eyes met Ortho's big, bright, and innocent ones. He felt bad that he was so disappointed that it was his baby brother, because don't get him wrong, he absolutely adores Ortho, it's just-

It's just that today's been really long. He already felt shitty enough. But he should have known that you weren't going to actually be there, after all you were travelling outside of the college for once to see the world of Twisted Wonderland. You had told him before you left that you were going to be gone for a while, which makes him even more miserable, knowing that he won't be able to be with you when he's already so stressed out.

But is it really so bad that he had even a glimmer of hope? The hope that maybe, just maybe, you had decided to come back early and surprise him with a visit?

"There you are, big brother!" Ortho says, unaffected by Idia's visible disappointment in seeing him, "I know that you've been missing miss (Name) a lot recently, so I've got this recording of her singing for you!"

"U-uhm, thank you, Ortho...Where did you even get this recording from?" Idia asks timidly.

"I came across her one day when she was singing on her own in the woods! So I used the recording feature you installed in my programming so that I could show it to you," Ortho states, and even though his mouth was covered, you could basically hear his radiating smile. Idia smiles softly and his eyes soften as he replies,

"Thanks Ortho, would you mind sending me the file? I wanna listen to it through my headphones for a while."

"Of course, big brother! I've already sent it to your phone." Ortho 'smiles' brightly as Idia thanks him and closes the door. And without a second thought, Idia pulls up his phone, finds the recording file and starts to play it through his headphones, drowning out the rests of the world in preference to the sound of your voice.

'No hunger, No sleep except to dream, Mild and warm, Safe from all harm, Calm....' As you sing these lyrics in particular, Idia feels pounds of his anxiety and stress wash off of him in waves. As if your voice itself was a spell, Idia was in a trance. And he feels mild, and warm...He feels safe from all harm...and calm.

'Good riddance, To all the thieves, To all the fools that stifled me, They’ve come and gone, And passed me by, Good riddance, To all...' 'Farewell To all the earthly remains...' 'No burdens No further debts to be paid,'

'Atlas, Can rest his weary bones, The weight of the world, All falls away, In time...' And by the time your lovely song is over, he's already manually repeating the recording. It looked like there was probably an extra two or three minutes of empty sound at the end of the recording, and Idia wanted- no, needed to hear your voice right now, he didn't want to wait like 3 minutes before the song automatically looped, after all he could have listened to your whole song again in that timeframe!

It came to no surprise to him that he accidentally fell asleep listening to you sing. Again, it's been a really, really, long day, and just,, being able to listen to you like this was just what he needed to begin to relax and calm down.

What did come to him as a surprise though, was when he woke up early the next morning and your song was still playing through his headphones. And he felt good, he never knew that this is how feeling truly rested feels like. So as he's lounging on his bed, staring at his ceiling as your song continues to ring through his head like silk, and he figures that he'd listen to the rest of your song one last time, and then he'd get up and get something to eat, or perhaps he'd go take a shower or something.

So the song ends, and he's left with the empty sound at the end of the recording. He sighs and stretches out languidly, and then he starts to move to take off the headphones before he's surprised to hear a startled gasp, followed by the sound of you talking.

"Ortho! Geez, you nearly gave me a heart attack there! How long have you been there for?" "Sorry miss (Name)! I heard you singing and I wanted to come and listen!" "My singing? Oh, it's not that good, really." "I disagree! I heard your whole song, your voice is so pretty!" "Why thank you."

Idia hears you chuckle breathlessly. 'Your laugh is beautiful' he thinks.

"Actually miss (Name), do you mind if I keep your song as a recording? I'm sure that big brother would be ecstatic to hear you sing!" "I don't mind. As a matter of fact, I was thinking of him when I was singing it anyway, so it would be nice if you did show it to him. I don't know if I'd be able to sing it in front of him perfectly like that without knowing what his reaction would be.. Oh, but are you going to keep this conversation in?" "Don't worry, I'm not going to!" "Actually, do you think you can leave this in? I wanna leave a message for him, if you don't mind." "Okay, sure thing! I'll make sure that he listens to it."

He hears you walk closer to Ortho, and he's holding his breath as if he wouldn't be able to hear your message if he took even a single breath of air. But what you say, though, knocks the wind right out of him, because he realizes that he's been asleep listening to you talking to his beloved younger brother (and he's so, so happy that you care for Ortho as if he was your own brother too), and that he's been asleep listening to you say these last few words saved for the very end of the recording.

"Idia, I love you."

~~~~~~~~~~~~

LITERALLY this was so cute to write TwT I think this might be my favorite so far.... Eurydice is my comfort character ngl and I spent like this whole morning listening to her sing (even singing along myself to get a feel for what kinds of emotions she's trying to convey) and just generally I had so, so much fun with this prompt. Thank you anon for the request, and I hope that you all enjoyed reading!

[i-need-a-slurpee]

So in light of Round 7 I'd like to open up another discussion of Ivantill as Orpheus and Eurydice. A lot of times when I hear people talking about Ivantill' parallels to Orpheus and Eurydice it's in the context of the musical Hadestown but I'd like to propose Ivantill as Orpheus and Eurydice from the game Hades.

Spoilers for Round 7 below!

Since Till is dead now too (whether or not you actually believe that isn't relevant to this particular discussion since I need Till dead for this) it makes it easier for me to disect the lyrics of Good Ridance and apply them to Ivan and Till.

In the game Hades you can find both Orpheus and Eurydice in different parts of the underworld. Orpheus is found in the House of Hades as the Court musician after Zagreus (the protagonist) gets him out of Tartarus. He was sent to Tartarus for refusing to sing for Hades due to his grief. Eurydice can be found in Asphodel in her own room the player can visit if they encounter it on one of their runs. She offers boons that help the player in battle.

Orpheus and Eurydice are separated in death until the player is able to break Orpheus' contract with Hades and get Eurydice to agree to see him again. Before they're reunited though they can both be heard singing "Good Riddance" separately and only sing it together when they're in Eurydice's chamber in Asphodel after being reunited.

While I can't compare Ivan and Till directly to Hades' Orpheus and Eurydice I can compare their current situation to Orpheus and Eurydice's song in the game.

"Good Riddance" is a song with the general message of finding freedom in death. All about being free now that neither have earthly responsibilities or obligations. It's a song meant to represent Eurydice's feelings in the afterlife more than Orpheus'. I feel this song is able to represent Ivantill as well.

"Farewell

To all the earthly remains

No burdens

No further debts to be paid

Atlas

Can rest his weary bones

The weight of the world

All falls away

In time

Goodbye

To all the plans that we made

No contracts

I'm free to do as I may

No hunger

No sleep except to dream

Mild and warm

Safe from all harm

Calm"

After being forced to serve the Segyein since birth, created to be nothing more than entertainment Ivan and Till are both free from that control in death. They're free to create the music they want just because they want to. They don't have to worry about the Segyein using them anymore, their lives are finally their's in death. While their story is tragic much like Orpheus and Eurydice, they're able to find a new happiness even if it isn't under the circumstances they'd hoped.

If I was skilled enough I'd make an animatic for them with this song but unfortunately that's not happening in this life time. You guys see what I mean though right? It's not a perfect comparison and a lot of this is my own wishful thinking but I think it makes sense. Either way you guys should give the full song a listen it's an absolute banger. I want a cover of this from Ivan and Till's VAs so bad but that's also not happening in this life time :')

(Lowkey an Ivan and Sua cover of this would also be fire. They're not Orpheus and Eurydice coded but the vocals would go insane. I can also see them singing the "Atlas can rest his weary bones" line about Till after round 7. Ivansua siblings headcanon is real guys trust)

6 Songs Tav-Tag

Thank you @aleksxo for the tag, this was actually hard dhdusksmdbxkdm

1. An event that defines your character's past

I remember the feel of loss in the air Remember the sight of you everywhere Insanity killed me and I never let it go No, I never let it go Like you, nothing's forever Like you, some things just die

2. How your character sees themselves

Maybe l'm a broken man Maybe l'm just out of luck Tell me what they want from me Tell me what they wanna see I'll show you everything The voices calling me Over and over again That's when the rain came Over and over again That's when the pain came Over and over again That's when the hate came

3. How others view them

pre tadpole:

Love me, love me, love me, love me Love me, love me, love me, love me Love me, love me, love me, love me more Than you possibly can It's not that complicated, no matter what they say You'll never meet another me It's not that difficult to put your head around You'll never meet another me

post tadpole:

Alice stayed at home, losing track of time Staring at the ceiling, she escaped into her mind (escaped into her mind) Like the Cheshire Cat, the ceiling fades to black And in her mind, she'll drown As she chased the rabbit down, down, down Alice, Alice, heart and soul, fell into a rabbit hole Dreamers dream until they don't Lost her mind a while ago

4. Their closest relationship (platonic or romantic)

They took out my heart to place under lock and key And you were the key The life of me The first one to see the man Beneath the veil of apathy You know me so well It hurts

5. A major fight scene

He thinks it's fun it is his thrill I'm chased by a murderer He's on a hunt and ready to kill He thinks it's fun it is his thrill I'm chased by a murderer Ready to kill He likes a little challenge, it is his choice to let me run With an evil laugh on his face, you can see he's having fun It's just a matter of time, for this place to become a scene of a crime He's on a hunt and ready to kill

6. End credits song

Blade's Journey • A Playlist

link to the youtube playlist

this one has some of my favorite songs on it! this one is even more lyrically accurate. sampo is next yayyy

1. Paint It Black — Hidden Citizens

i look inside myself and see my heart is black, i see my red door i must have it painted black, maybe then, i′ll fade away and not have to face the facts it's not easy facing up when your whole world is black

2. Lovely — Billie Eilish

oh, i hope some day i'll make it out of here even if it takes all night or a hundred years; need a place to hide, but I can't find one near; wanna feel alive, outside I can't fight my fear. isn't it lovely, all alone? heart made of glass, my mind of stone. tear me to pieces, skin to bone.

3. Good Riddance — The Hound + The Fox

farewell to all the earthly remains. no burdens; no further debts to be paid. atlas can rest his weary bones. the weight of the world all falls away in time. goodbye to all the plans that we made...

4. Crawling — Robyn Adele Anderson (Musical Theatre Version)

there's something inside me that pulls beneath the surface. consuming, confusing... this lack of self control i fear is never ending; controlling. i can't seem to find myself again. my walls are closing in

5. I Didn't Ask For This — Beth Crowley

the shadows are creeping in. i didn't ask for this. cold rage hides the shame of images I can't escape. scars that live under the surface. it's strange what I became when part of me was ripped away and replaced with something worthless

6. Aftermath — Mowgli

taking more and more until I burst and then I can't live with the aftermath; i'm cursed. afraid of my light now. got no time for the dark in me. afraid of my light now. afraid of my dark.

7. Dr. Jekyll & Mr. Hyde — Ezra Furman

now, my tender heart has hardened. i'm taking walks in my dead garden. i'm shooting marbles 'cross the floor in the maintenance closet at the grocery store; in my little black apartment i found love's secret compartment and now, I keep my things inside.

8. Island — Kensington

and I'll be an island and the shore were I stand can't be reached by more than waves. i told my sharks that I need an island for I know the violence and I'll make the same mistakes again. i don't want a flame. i don't want to risk a fire that leaves a toxic waste but here we are again.

9. Hellfire — Barns Courtney

down in the forest with the devil in me i remember the looks on their faces through the sycamore trees. ain't no chariots of fire, come to take me home; i'm lost in the woods, and I wander alone. hellfire, hellfire, take my soul. i'm waiting, waiting, I'm ready to go.

10. Monster — Skillet

it's scratching on the walls, in the closet, in the halls. it comes awake and I can't control it. hiding under the bed, in my body, in my head. why won't somebody come and save me from this, make it end? i feel it deep within, it's just beneath the skin. i must confess that I feel like a monster

[ID: Video of Zagreus humming to himself as he walks along Route 112 towards Lavaridge Town. The tune is unfamiliar, but after a few bars he starts to sing in earnest…

"Farewell To all the earthly remains

Atlas Can rest his weary bones The weight of the world All falls away In time

Goodbye To all the plans that we made

No contracts I’m free to do as I may

No hunger No sleep except to dream Mild and warm Safe from all harm Calm

As the final bar resolves, a faint static noise can be briefly heard… followed by Zagreus turning around.

"Narrator, what... Wait. Were you recording all that?"

"<ZZT, NO I--"
