Oh I absolutely forgot I drew you a rare treat - orphedice

[haunted-phantom-student]

If I was rescuing my wife from the underworld by leading her out on the one condition that I not look behind me to see if she's following me lest I condemn her back there for eternity, I simply would have turned around to check but turn so quickly Hades wouldn't catch me doing it. Rip to Orpheus but I'm different.

spytown enjoyers feeding time

I thought it would be really endearing if spytown retained the way orpheus and eurydice show physical affection, except eurydice is a 6 ft something man with a boyfriend who decides to pick him up and spin him around despite being like half a head shorter

Never has there been a tale of more woe

Then Eurydice and her Orpheo

[ellizz123]

When Orpheus was singing la la la la la la la while he was leading Eurydice out of the under world i thought Eurydice would complete the melody by singing la la la la la la la back, and that would restore his trust that she was following him and they would make it out and live happily ever after, but he HAD TO TURN AROUND, ORPHEUS-

You probably already have this question, but just in case...how would the ROs be in an Orpehus/Euridyce situation? Who would look back, who wouldn't...? Feel free to hurt us :'3

👀👀👀👀👀👀👀 (Eurydice version)

Oisein: Doesn't look back, but is distraught about it. Tells you up front and makes a promise that they won't look back - though for a best friend/romance, it would take all of their willpower not to. They know how the terms of a deal work and trust it...mostly, wavering every now and then, dissecting every word in their head thinking about whether or not they missed some alternative meaning and have they doomed you both? But if those terms are broken, someone's going to have hell to pay.

The Sage: Doesn't look back but is trying to disguise their nerves. Wants to be confident and determined for the both of you and have trust, and wants to be a source of strength for you. Likely tries to call out or speak to you, trying to distract you both from the situation. And if they hear nothing, catches themself just barely from looking back, before pressing on with their entire body tense. Would collapse and has to take a moment to recover on making it out (hopefully with many a happy tear to be shed).

The Magesmith: Almost makes it, but looks back at the last second. Initially takes the deal at being straightforward. But the further you both walk and the less they hear, the more they remember - they should know better than to trust a deal, know better than to take anything at face value, know better than to leave fate in any but their own hands. And when it comes to you? Finally and blissfully and incredible you? How could they leave that to anyone else? That doubt wriggling inside them causes them to turn, only to realize that it is, in fact, their fault for ruining everything - again.

The Healer: Looks back. They've lived their life with a subtle undercurrent of fear over losing their remaining loved ones. And that becomes a raging torrent of uncertainty when faced with this situation, all of their past mistakes swarming their mind and their want to look out for others becoming their one shining instinct. They have every reason to trust a deal, to know that this is the way you're both getting out. But their sentimentality is their downfall. It's almost an accident when they look back - because of course they would, they'll always be there to see you and to be at your side. Until you're ripped away from them again.

Thank you for the ask! ❤️

Tbh rewatching the OBC Hadestown cast bootleg I’d say that no one quite hit that awesome Hades/Persephone dynamic in the show as Amber Gray and Patrick Page. They are so 👌

And with them the show works in its fullest.

anyone who wants to tell me that 'arms tonite' by mother mother isn't about orpheus and eurydice can argue with the wall

[not-a-princess-but-a-queen]

Oh my god… Orpheus was Morpheus’ son?!!!
