the block button really does speak to me like the cursed amulet sometimes. thousands have been slain for minor acts of treason. all for the glory of my kingdom of course

Your love for him was the messiest, silliest, most predictable thing in the universe. And it always made me smile.

haven't seen hadestown but my understanding of the plot is: Local woman visits parents, returns to find unsupervised husband has invented global warming

I love how the casting notice for Hermes in Hadestown effectively reads "Any age, any gender, any race, ability to serve cunt essential"

[hermesmoly]

Why is it always about Orpheus turning back foolishly and never about Eurydice following him out of the Underworld, likely knowing she was doomed. That Orpheus went all this way, singing the story of their love, hopeful that he will return her to the surface and finally build their life together— but they will not. She knows her Orpheus will turn back. And yet she still follows him, all the way to the top, because the simple pleasure of seeing his back again is enough for her. Isn’t that a foolish thing to do for love?

[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.
