meliorism ; the belief that the world can be made better with human effort.
welcome to the official blog of the book meliorism, written by @petit-procrastinator! i'll be mostly putting art i've done for the book, little excerpts from the story, moments from our discord server and of course reposting fanart! everything will be tagged as #meliorismthebook just for ease of finding things, and if any of you wonderful people would like to share your own related things, feel free to use the same tag!
we have a MERCH SHOP!! so please check it out!
you can also send asks about the story, even direct asks to specific characters, and i can either draw the character's response or respond as/for them.
for the newcomers, here is the book! the writing style may be irregular and shit at times but the whole thing behind this project is that it's supposed to be a comfort thing for myself, a project i come to when i have to let out feelings, and also a book i can practice writing with. so yeah! have fun guys, go wild, make a change in the world

i’ve been obsessed with hadestown for years now and finally got to see it yesterday on the west end, so here is a non-exhaustive, mostly in order list of things i loved:
- hermes ‘aiiiight’ ing the audience at the start
- the fates looking offended when hermes says they’re all dressed the same
- orpheus getting distracted and forgetting to greet the audience as he’s introduced
- irish orpheus and midlands eurydice healed something in me
- the fates all the time always, actually
- persephone and eurydice’s little moment of connection as persephone tells her to take what she can and make the most of it
- the trombonist dancing with the chorus during his solo
- orpheus and the cast looking out to the audience in a beat of silence as they toast the world we live in now
- everybody collectively gagging at the wine
- eurydice pushing orpheus right across the stage as she sings how she wants to hold him tight
- orpheus swooping in and popping up like a meerkat between hades and eurydice when she draws his attention
- hades putting on his dark glasses in order to immediately take them off at eurydice in hey little songbird
- eurydice holding the coins/ticket to hell out to hermes twice during chips are down and hermes only taking them on the third time
- hermes and persephone flirting at the start of act 2
- persephone not sharing her hip flask and hermes acting all offended until she gives them some
- every reference to hermes’ gender is gone
- hermes
- melanie la barrie
- hades’ slutty little strut on the revolve
- the absolute raw grief and anger and desperation in if it’s true, dónal absolutely killed it
- hades dad dancing
- hades burying his face in persephone’s shoulder after they reconcile
- orpheus’ adorable delighted ‘yes!!’ after eurydice tells him he’s done it
- the chorus’s cute af reaction when orpheus ’proposes’ eurydice to walk home with him
- orpheus’ fidgety, reaching hands as he walks and doubts (devastating)
- the centre of the revolve dropping away the MOMENT orpheus turns, almost before he’s actually set eyes on her. she’s already gone
- orpheus’ voice break on eurydice’s name as she vanishes (DEVASTATING)
- orpheus just sobbing by the gaping hole where eurydice’s gone as the theatre is in total silence (SHOOT ME ALREADY)
- the stage being set in the last minutes to match how it was when the show began. we’re really going to sing it again, aren’t we. there’s nothing else to be done
also do NOT get me started on the set and lighting design bc holy shit you guys it was PHENOMENAL. i so want to see it again to look for all the little details i inevitably missed

Thinking about in Hadestown how it is highly like Orpheus walked for days/weeks to get to Eurydice.
With the idea of the train taking people to Hadestown and Hermes saying "Through the underground, under cover of night Layin' low, stayin' out of sight" implies that he could only do the walk at night. If this was a walk that took a few hours at most then why would it be mentioned. Orpheus at the beginning of act 2 looks exhausted. His clothes are ripped but he is absolutely overjoyed he has made it. That he's there. Walking into Hell is not an easy task and hes done it.
Which makes Doubt Comes In even more painful. If it takes a number of days or weeks for this walk and they have to keep walking then hes spending hours upon hours not being able to check that Eurydice is behind him and having The Fates cast doubt that she's not there. That he's not worthy. Anyone would turn around after being subjected to that.

Hadestown - West End - 26/05/2024 Dónal Finn (Orpheus), Melanie La Barrie (Hermes), Lauren Azania (Worker), Tiago Dhondt Bamberger (Worker), Lucinda Buckley (Worker Swing), Waylon Jacobs (Worker), Christopher Short (Worker) Do not share outside of Tumblr. This is the very song that sent me 16 hours to London. Dónal plays Orpheus so hurt and angry here, it is genuinely as life changing as I thought it would be in real life, it's all you could ask for in an Orpheus. Also, we get changed lines after 'So I ask you...', instead of 'If it's true what they say, I'll be on my way. Tell me what to do!' , we get 'Brother, look around today. Is this how the world will stay? There must be another way!' which i think is very fitting for his Orpheus and also means we get Orpheus saying 'brother' in IIT again!! Melanie carries this production for the entire 2 and a half hours powerfully and I loved all the workers I watched that day, they were all so great. Feel free to yap at me about literally anything Hadestown West End related <3.

Anyone else wake up at 2pm and immediately think “I should map out the changes to Epic III between Broadway and the West End” ?
No, just me?
Anyway, I listened to both (and in particular read the lyrics to the Broadway version while listening to Dónal Finn singing), and here is the change to the ending.

saw hadestown in london today. a lot of people are talking about the new verse in epic III but I’ve not seen anything about the change in if it’s true?? I’ve heard audio from the previews and the change hadn’t happened there, but now the last verse:
so I ask you // if it’s true what they say // I’ll be on my way // tell me what to do
has become:
so I ask you // brother look around today // is this how the world will stay? // there must be another way
and I am obsessed. we love a proactive orpheus. will post an audio asap

It breaks my heart knowing that Act One!Orpheus wouldn't turn around. He's hopeful. He's optimistic. He believes in all the good in the world even when the world is a cruel and cold place
But Act Two! Orpheus has seen how the world is. He's seen how cruel and cold that it is. He forgets that there can be hope. And that is one of the most breaking things about the musical, in my opinion. Watching this man lose not just the woman that he loves, but all the hope that he had. Watching as he learns that the world isn't this happy and wonderful and beautiful place that he dreams about.
#hadestown musical#hadestown#hadestown west end#orpheus#orpheus and eurydice#eurydice#wathcing donal finns if its true is devasting#his voice just breaks#and i just wanted to hug him and protect him and tell him that it was all okay
