[alynwrench]

Today was supposed to be DCATOBER day 8 but I had to get this out of my brain DAYCARE ATTENDANT ANIMATIC X HADES MUSIC? yessir, enjoy ur 1 min 44 secs of ANGST

[sapphic-scylla]

One of the greatest moments in all of gaming is returning to the main hall of Hades and finding, for the first time in the entire game, Orpheus. Alone at his chair. Singing the only song you’ve heard him sing, his Lament which to this day remains as one of, if not the most heartbreaking song I’ve ever heard.

i NEED to write something about devotion and yearning. holy shit

[midwestaesthetics]

mourning doves on a wire

Zephyr out of the west

Let it caress our chilled plumage

As the sun emerges bleary eyed

From its black silken robes of slumber

I’ll preen you in the cold air

Consume the morning dew off your back

Here we hang precarious on highwires

Tussling in winds of a warming trend

You give yourself to me

With all love and trust

And can the mystery of tomorrow ensure

That I with all my being 

Ensure you never take flight

With an inkling of regret

History still shapes, with glints of sun

It illuminates wings once broken

Our graceful courtship and affectionate display 

Ever weary that you may fall into the rough

I’ll dive without hesitation to bring

You home from the underworld

Time’s scythe takes you in, staking its claim

And leaves my feathers in a stain...of smoke

Forever my lament cooing 

A music soft and wordless

That renders all within earshot

To weep, to share in my grief

Here I hang lonely on highwires

Your green memory stinging as nettle upon my breast

ORPHEUS IS SINGING!!!!!

[undyinglantern]

good riddance from hades deserves an honorable mention just by how powerful the emotion that comes through depending on who is singing it changes the meaning of the lyrics is

[twosdate]

it is in fact criminal that i love music so much and cannot sing btw. god's strongest nerf for his most pitiful solider.
