oh to be an early 20th century college student laying homoerotically on the grass with your best friend who you’re secretly in love with, surrounded by books while you lunch and have deep conversations about life…

Orpheus always turns around because, yes, you would too if you literally crawled through the underworld to get Eurydice back; BUT! Also because people don’t come back from the dead and storytelling is and always has been a way to process emotions.

Orpheus and Eurydice are the exploration of grief so strong you’d go to hell and back to save the person you lost and the gutting realization that it doesn’t matter how hard you try, people don’t come back from death

maybe orpheus always looks back because his very effort to reverse death means that he can't look forward. if he could look forward, he could accept eurydice's death, grieve, and keep moving in life. his refusal to accept her death is looking back. his going down to the underworld, asking hades and persephone for her life, trying to lead her out... it's all 'looking back'. he does nothing for the entire story except look back. orpheus! looks! back! it's his entire thing! the story ends the same way it begins: orpheus looked back.

going for a soft vampire vibe today. speaking of which, there’s so much amazing vampire media. i think wwdits is my favourite, though (i’d say this post was loosely inspired by wwdits). i’d definitely be down to edit some shots from the show, or any similar shows, at some point. if anyone has any suggestions please lmk <3

oh and that gap in my resume is when i was digging my own grave

[valtsv]

the dirt under my nails is - yeah. it won't wash out. although that's actually from when i dug myself out again. i suppose success and defeat can look the same in a mirror.
