i’m sorry but KAOS is like a greek mythology fanfiction AU on steroids and i love her for it.

Had Odysseus been smarter, he would've perhaps asked Hades to help him evade Poseidon. I mean, Hades was surely annoyed. Poor guy had 500 new arrivals to deal with all because of his brother's little tantrum.

[okjii]

once again thinking about the parallels of Neil going into the Nest over Christmas break for Andrew and Orpheus going into the Underworld for Eurydice. hows your day going though.

Goddd thinking about the time loop-y elements of Hadestown really makes the line “I knew you before we met, and I don’t even know you yet” hit different

(PLS DO NOT READ AS BATCEST)

Jason: alright Eurydice, calm down, no need to get stabby

Damian: I WILL— why am I Eurydice?

Jason: because… Bruce went to bargain for your soul? Obviously Orpheus failed, but eh.

Damian: and what would that make you?

Jason: Icarus. Duh.

Tim: does that make me Perdix?

Jason: no, Tim. Not everything is about you. Perdix is Stephanie

Bruce: but I didn’t push Stephanie off of a high building

Stephanie: you might as well have.

something something jayce valuing viktor staying next to him more than any actual part of viktor.

something something the selfish blindness of love and the way jayce cannot perceive viktor without "their hextech dream" to act as intermediary.

something something the brutal stripping down that was needed to allow them to see each other clearly

un.well

he literally looked back because he loved her. she was already dead. she wouldve still been dead even if he hadnt looked back and they'd made it. she was a ghost. she wouldve come back wrong. it's not a happy ending (yes it is). he loved her. he looked back. HE DID NOT FAIL HER!!!!! its not about getting back what you've lost its about saying goodbye. there is no other end to this story. im done.

Hear me out, here me out…

“And that it was from Chaos that the first three primordial gods sprang forth: Gaea (Earth), Tartarus (the Underworld), and Eros (Love) - Hesiod's Theogony

Gaea/Earth: Ariadne 

Tartarus/The Underworld: Eurydice

Eros/Love: Caeneus

Purely me headcanoning my heart little away. But I love how in a sense they all represent the three eternal beings ‘of chaos’ that make up creation incarnate. 

Ariadne: Who is now the ‘Mother of her people and her land’ as president. A representation of feminine power. Life

Eurydice: The first person to return from the Underworld and essentially, conquer/master death. Death 

Caeneus: Sweet, sweet Caeneus who embodies love, the driving force of creation. Love

They don't embody the return to Chaos per say, rather the power that sprang from it. The necessary cycle of death and rebirth, destruction and creation that Zeus has selfishly stalled. That they, as a trio will restart.
