So I took him underneath my wing And that is where he stayed Until one day...

[ashleyslorens]

Hear me now once and for all: you mean nothing to me. I feel nothing for you...

In Hadestown news, Yola performed as Persephone and Maia Reficco as Eurydice! (Stephanie Mills, who was slated to be Hermes that day, is out until the 9th due to illness.)

Bag the party. Hang here.

At 7-Eleven? Swanky first date…

Hey! I love this place!

No offense, but why?

[blackfemmecharacterdependency]

I. Thank. God.

That nobody asks me what to do about their white friends anymore. I think everybody's got the message at this point. I will FOREVER tell you to dump them. Why are you friends if you're tryna teach them to be open about your culture, your people, or your humanity? Throw them in the fucking trash, Boo. There's not a single white "friend" that I threw away that I have had to feel some type of way about.

Don't ever try to be present where you're unwanted (not in the sense of having rights or access to goods, but like... going to somebody's house or out with them). AND don't ever try to BRING someone where they aren't interested in being. ESPECIALLY when you share that space with others that they have already shown you that they don't accept. Don't bring your white friend to my safe places, unless you're willing to be attacked next to them when they get to white-working.

You cannot crave white adjacency or white approval AND be against antiblackness.

I'm sorry to be the one to tell you this, but it's time someone told you.

Rewatching Book 3 last night, so some car trip sketches of Grace from memory while listening to I Say No, which has god-tier Grace vibes.

[ziracona]

Whoa holy shit “I Say No” is like THE ideal Grace Monroe song now I need to make Grace a playlist. God she was such a good character.

one of the recent runs of Hadestown (a year or two ago) had probably the best Orpheus played by Chibueze Ihuoma!

Here's a song unrelated to it that he sang, he has a lovely voice, perfect for the role! https://youtu.be/IlQhSypUEVQ

The way I have never seen any art about any of the Black Orpheus or Eurydice depictions... And granted I'm not around the fans a lot. But things tend to pass by me and other than y'all announcing when they're Black, nothing fr. It's usually the same two actors I see or hear about. Sad!

[blackfemmecharacterdependency]

So you just got me on Mute then
