A perfect song.

I read the news today.

RIP, Glen, you were one of the good ones.

i think this proshot also made me realize how similar hades and orpheus are. at the same time hades is telling persephone how much he's done for her (how much he hasn't listened to her and is just doing what he THINKS she'll like instead of paying attention to what she's saying and what she needs) at the exact same time orpheus is distracted by his song and not paying attention to what eurydice is saying and what she needs. what she's begging him for, what she's crying out to him for. he's so wrapped up in his own mission and his job that he forgot to listen out for the person he loves most. hades knew orpheus would turn around because that's exactly what hades himself would do

Sometimes ifl this whole story is a metaphor for anxious attachment behaviors and how if we're constantly "checking" on another person, we're infusing them with our anxiety and that actually blocks them from moving freely. Because any healthy relationship is going to involve the people moving on their own steam without having to monitor each other, trusting themselves enough to trust the other person

Hades gives Orpheus a trial he knows he himself could never succeed at, but it isn’t just that Hades knows he would turn around. Hades has been failing this trial every single year. He shows up too early. He turns too soon. He is so full of doubt that even the natural order of the world, that Persephone will return to him, is not something he can trust. Hades would fail the trial he has given Orpheus, and he already has. All alone, his blood runs thin.
