Hades’ week!

For the next seven days, we will be using this blog as a celebration of Patrick Page’s Hades.There will be 8 days of prompts. (Why is there an 8th day of prompts in a Hades-week? Because the King commands lol.)

You can create new fanworks of any stripe or reblog old ones you’ve created with #hadesweek, and I will reblog it onto this blog. All fanworks are welcome. We are open to anything and everything as long as its related to the character of Hades in Hadestown. Covers? Sure. Interpretive Dance? Go for it. Art? Sure. Gif edits? Course. Translations of songs into other languages? Sexy. Fanfic? Cromulent. Fanart? Very nice. Cosplay? Sounds nice. Reblogs of previous work are also welcome. This week is meant to just be a celebration of Hades art and fic and meta and whatever else for a week.

Prompts:

January 9. The King on the Chromium Throne (Hades’ outfits and accessories; a focus on character design)

January 10. Think of It as My Desire for You (Hades and Persephone’s relationship in focus;  it has its highs, it has its lows, but its always clear)

January 11. Hey Little Songbird (Hades relationship with Eurydice, in any/all meanings of the word)  

January 12. He Said He’d Harbor Us/He Said He’d Shelter Me (Hades’ relationship with the workers/the chorus)  

January 13. Orpheus, the Undersigned (Hades’ relationship with Orpheus; a foil, a priest, and a poet all in one)

January 14. The Electric City (Hades’ relationship with his eponymous Hadestown)  

January 15. Word to the Wise (act 2 focus + her worship among the Workers/Hermes/Orpheus and Eurydice)

20th. A Love Song (a coda, a bonus day to bring us back to where the show begins, in a garden)

If you use one of the prompts, tag it with the prompt (e.g, for the 13th, tag #the king on the chromium throne) and I will add it under the prompt’s hashtag on this blog as well. But if you do not want to go off the prompts, just add #hadesweek and I will add it to the reblogs without adding any prompts to it.  

What kind of content can I add?

Sugar, spice, and anything nice – as long as its Hades-related. Seriously, anything. Meta about what you like about Hades is appreciated; thank you posts for Patrick or welcome (back) posts for Tom are great; fanfic is lovely, fanart too. Interpretive dance or covers or gif-sets or videos or just your favorite show memories about Patrick? Great. Wanna post a crossover between the Green Goblin and Hadestown? Sure. All fan works are welcome. It’s an Patrick Page love fest. By Patrick fans, for Patrick fans.

Reblogs and original content are both allowed!

See below for a FAQ:

I wrote something a year ago that fits a prompt - can I reblog it for this?

Yes! As long as it’s Hades focused AND the reblog is something you yourself created (eg don’t reblog someone else’s art with #hadesweek or something; like Hades, I will only reblog what others choose to offer freely), go nuts! If you want to use this as a challenge to make some new art or fic or meta or whatnot, that is very cool and I would love to see it. But realistically, with just a weeks notice, not everyone will have time to make new works, and honestly tumblr moves so fast there’s lots of good stuff we haven’t seen for a bit that I’d love to have reblogged here. If you would like it featured too, please add #hadesweek to a reblog.  

….I have Hades content that doesn’t fit the prompts tho. Can I post or reblog that for Hades week?

Yes. This is all about creations that feature Hades. The prompts are just ideas to get started, but they are optional. If you don’t like them, don’t use them. Just reblog #hadesweek and it goes up here on this blog for posterity.

How many times are you going to post/reblog things? WIll you add stuff for a prompt even after that day is over?

I reblog as much as I can, as fast as I can. I’ll check the tag for a month for new works but will post it after if you can make sure I see it. Make sure that you have your blog visible to be searched and that you’ve filled in the tag right: #hadesweek . If I miss yours for some reason assume user error on my part and send me a msg; I’ll add it.

What if I have fanfic or fanart that’s about Hades, but it’s not entirely Patrick’s version? Are transgender/non-binary/alternate gender or design Sephs that are inspired by Patrick in some small way welcome?

Yes. All Hades are good Hades. All Hades make me press the reblog button.I’m not going to judge how much your Hades is Patrick and how much it’s anyone else.

Does it have to be Broadway version of Hades?

No. Patrick has been Hades from NYTW on and we respect all her work. NYTW, Edmonton, London, and Broadway works are all welcome.  

I have Hades content but it also has Persephone/Orpheus/Eurydice/The Fates/Hermes/The Workers/A Lamp/An Original Character - is it allowed?

Yes! Hades is a flavor that is delicious both as a sole ingredient and in a group composition. We accept every Hades relationship and every Hades gen combo and Hades solo works, too. All Hades with some Patrick inspiration are welcome. All versions of Hades with Hades’ friends, family, and lovers are welcome, too.

Can I follow this blog? Do I have to follow to participate?

You can follow if you want to, but its optional. To participate all you need to do is tag something you post on tumblr.com with #hadesweek.

Do I have to add content warnings/are you going to add content warnings?

No, though common sense ones like NSFW are appreciated to help people curate their experiences. I will reblog content warnings if they are there. I will only add tags to aid in blog organization otherwise: e.g. identifying if it fits a prompt, who the characters in the picture are,etc.

Who runs this?

@acequeenking​ right now.

Why are you planning this for a week after Patrick left?

Because Patrick left around the holidays, and I figured this way we would have more time to appreciate it!

NYX, PERSONIFICATION OF NIGHT “ ...she could have made the Master's life eternally more difficult, down here, if she so chose. Had every right to, perhaps, when her own daughters, the Fates, determined that the Master ought to govern where once she alone presided. But, Mother Night does not possess a mortal's pridefulness; and her commitment to the Underworld and her children is absolute... ”

ARTEMIS, GODDESS OF THE HUNT “ I sing of Artemis, whose shafts are of gold, who cheers on the hounds, the pure maiden, shooter of stags, who delights in archery, own sister to Apollo with the golden sword. Over the shadowy hills and windy peaks she draws her golden bow, rejoicing in the chase, and sends out grievous shafts. ”  (homeric hymn to artemis)
