the field of hopes and dreams still holds a special spot in my heart

[olivegardenarchive]

hermes in hadestown is the exact opposite of an unreliable narrator. a tortured narrator. a little *too* reliable. incredibly aware of exactly what is happening at any given moment, vaguely spoiling it for you in the beginning, despairing every second of it. but ultimately motivated to continue to tell the story over and over and over with a smiling face for the sake of the audience, and for the sake of the characters themselves, singing it again to keep them alive. knowing how it will end, but singing it again so that the cycle may restart and eurydice may come back to life. enduring the misery of it all, over and over, holding the knowledge of what will come to pass but continuing anyway to see orpheus happy just one more time before it all goes down in flames again.

Isn’t this literally just what a Chorus does? Like, in a Greek Tragedy?

[majestic-salad]

Insane actually that until I saw Hadestown live I'd never heard anyone talk about the candle. The candle that is hope?? The candle that's THE LAST THING YOU SEE as the stage goes dark at the end of the show. The candle that the Fates blow out, that Eurydice relights at the start of every performance? Kept safe by Hermes until the story is told again? That candle???

Well personally I'M never going to stop thinking about it

SORRY for being crazy (but also not) but i love how eurydice being portrayed by a black actress gives a completely new layer to chant reprise (Hang a chain around her throat / Made of many karat gold / Shackle her from wrist to wrist… Bind her…) in playing opposite to a white orpheus, who is being told by the white capitalist hades… the layering of both misogyny and racism. of owning another person so completely. the misogynoir on complete display. the way jack wolfe plays orpheus as wholly disgusted at hades’ words. it’s the prison industrial complex. it’s the music and language already directly influenced by african american culture; the vernacular, the jazz, swing, working class people living under the thumb of a white person who gets rich off their labour. the environmental racism. euridicye can’t remember the last time she saw a flower. hades is destroying her home, polluting the air, digging up the earth until he literally buries her inside of it.

don’t get me started on persephone also being black. that’s a whole other thing i could go into.

Love when you try to take a screenshot but fuck up the timing of the volume down lock button combo and are left sitting there with slightly softer music and a black screen and you just have to sit there looking at your reflection on the locked phone and contemplate your failure for a bit

"baby names" is a real misnomer because they're often permanent

[radiavoc]

smh you could have stolen noelle's name

[theriverbeyond]

tbh I can't stop thinking about how i went into Hadestown being like "this is a tragic love story based on a greek myth I enjoy :)" and I came out the other side covered in blood being like "this is a thesis about how capitalism inevitably leads to both personal and global ruin, and so we are duty bound to resist it even as we lose, again and again and again. no matter how impossible it feels or how many times we fail and hit a wall and fall, we try again"

[demilypyro]

i hope Ms. Marvel and Phoenix Cyclops have dialogue because if they acknowledge Champions the Angst will be good. Tokon Kamala seems pretty early days tho so idk

[demilypyro]

oh a lot of it. back in 2016 Kamala founded her own superhero team, the Champions, and one of its core members was a time-displaced younger Cyclops (because comic books). young Cyclops went back to his own time eventually but the present-day Cyclops got all of young Cyclops' memories, so him and Kamala are like, retroactive lifelong friends now. one of young Cyclops' core conflicts was fear over knowing he'd become evil in the future, so the version of Cyclops that's in Tokon specifically being Phoenix Cyclops has a lot of drama potential.
