My thoughts were so extensive they exceeded the tumblr tag limit oops imma screenshot and finish my argument in a reblog I guess??
I don't think any would make it as is the Myth, but yk. You pick who's Orpheus and who's Eurydice.
#tough question#because my personal understanding of hadestown is very much that orpheus /could/ have turned around becaude he doubted eurydice's loyalty#or doubted his own importance to her but we see him fight off those doibts#orpheus turns around because he doesnt trust /hades/ not to trick him. he used to be completely naive and HOPEFUL#but the world stripped him of the faith he used to have in people#so he fails not because he couldnt resist turning to see eurydice not because he doubted eurydice but because he doubted someone#who had already proved himself untrustworthy. he (understandably) didnt trust that hades was redeeming himself somewhat#so in that interpretation the ones who hold out the longest are the ones who trust even when theres no reason to do so#thats not gonma be any of the PDs i think their story is more similar to orpheus' original story. their naivety is shattered#the people they looked up to failed them#why would they ever trust hades?#rand rolan and kian are more like. they start out believing the world is kinda shit but for mundane reasons#it only proves itself to be even worse than they thought and everyone suffers and dies horribly the end#(that being said if i was gonna focus on trusting /each other/ i think they would win. they trust rolan even we he turns out to be an alien#clone of their friend. they trust bug kian when he says theres still a way to save human kian.#they trust each other against all odds even whrn theres no reason to.)#I dont know anything about br'aad and taxi so im ignoring them sorry#peter and rumi are pretty strong contenders#peter is very much about believing in the goodness of humanity and rumi seemed to believe godhood doesnt have to be evil so. maybe#but the one time they decided to trust someone who had hurt them (exandroth) he only tried to hurt them even Worse#(or at least try)#so i doubt theyd be quick to trust again really#and all their other enemies where just kinda shitty through and through#not much evidence that people can change#though thanatos is a subtle evidence for it id say#ahsjaks and hes a death god like hades lol#tbh i think if peter was walking ahead he would hold out the longest but rumi wouldn't?#ultimately my choice is chip and gillion i think#chip has experience the Fucking Horrors and seen the worst of people and yet hes always trying to do good#he SUSPECTED THAT JAY WAS A NAVY SPY and invited her kn his ship anyway. befrienfed her
