#i love every orpheus and every eurydice

[ode-to-fury]

Fitz and Beloved being the opposite of Orpheus and Eurydice do you understand because Fitz wants to look back so badly and he comes so so close so many times but he just cannot make himself look back no matter what he does and the Fool is doing everything in his power to keep silent keep still keep him looking forward because thats what will save the world but inside he’s screaming for Fitz to please look back please prove you want to please prove you love me

i looove 2018 london orpheus. he's so utterly pathetic.

[hycinthrt]

i remember once seeing someone shit on the “and i know how it was because he was like me a man in love with a woman” line and i have never discarded someone’s opinion quicker because that line makes me sob every single time

its just so simple but its full of desperation. this is not his glorious heroic poet moment, he wants nothing more than to take her out and he is probably still drowning in the guilt of knowing that she is there because of him. he was singing to hades but the song was for eurydice

[justaz]

i hate bitches on tiktok “orpheus was weak, i simply wouldn’t look back” then you do not LOVE them

[crunchycrystals]

unironically refer to persephone in hades as my mommy bc i love her. i mean this in an extremely non sexual way in the most familial love way i do genuinely mean she is my mommy and i need her to hug me crunchycrystals irl

[cosmicallydivine]

every day i think about how the original lines in hadestown when orpheus turns back were going to be “you’re early” “i missed you” and every day i want to eat cement

IM OBSESSED WITH THE LIGHTHOUSE me and my best friend beans have watched it together probably five times (which is impressive because we live 5 hours apart so every time we see each other. its lighthouse time.) ANYWAYS. i'll die on the hill that they did more than just fight and cuddle.

YOU’VE ACTIVATED MY TRAP CARD UBER AUTISM!!!! BE PREPARED FOR A LONG RANT ABOUT THE LIGHTHOUSE!!!

(Rant under cut, warning for discussions of sexual content, including non-consensual encounters)

That is so slay!! Love that you share it with a friend, haha. I’ve seen it 152 times, only once in theaters for a special anniversary screening and it was MAGICAL. I have a dvd and a special dvd with extra art and the blueprint plans for the lighthouse itself and their clothing that I am happy to share, but OUUUGH I love this movie!! I watch it at least once a week!! I have read through the original script at least six times!!

They definitely did more!! Oh my goodness!! I’m so glad you agree. We of course have the moment they almost kiss while slow dancing, (which is phenomenal) but a lot of people glaze over Howard almost blatantly kissing Wake before he beats him up, when he is hallucinating him as the mermaid!!

And then, right after that, when he tells Wake to bark like a dog, the atmosphere is so TENSE I can’t stand it!! I certainly think after he told him to roll over and stood over him that they did… something. What in particular depends on the reading, but it definitely wasn’t kosher, let’s say. (Whether or not Wake did or even could consent is also very dubious at best).

I love rewatching the movie with a different reading in mind. The Proteus / Prometheus theory, Wake being the liar, Howard being the liar, them both lying, it all being a deathbed hallucination, Howard having killed Winslow bc they were lovers/he had a crush, etc., even different variations of them all put together!

Anyone have a favorite interpretation? Favorite theory? Moment? Anything?

Sorry Bunny… you walked right into my autism trap…

I understand why changes were made but every single day I mourn the world where we could have gotten the nytw version of Hadestown on Broadway

[dragons-and-yellow-roses]

I can't stop thinking about Orpheus and Eurydice...

[patron-saint-of-emesis]

indulging in greek tragedies to avoid your own internal conflicts is all fun and games until you start seeing yourself too much in the characters. anyways if i was eurydice i would have bashed orpheus over the head with a rock

[daydreaming-optimist]

YOU SAW HADESTOWN ON BROADWAY!? THATS INSANE OMG CONGRATULATIONS IM SO GLAD YOU HAD A GOOD TIME!!

I did!!!!! I got to see it with the entire OBC in 2019 and it was absolutely amazing I loved every second of it, but a couple of my friends and I saw it with the new cast today and OH MY GOD??!?! I am a changed person I will never be the same
