i understand all that shit about honor and knighthood and solemn vows but “kingslayer” is simply a bad insult. it sounds cool as fuck. might as well call him the landlord annihilator or the billionaire’s bane.

there's something so endlessly poetic about eva noblezada and reeve carney's relationship.

they met & fell in love while performing the central romantic characters of a retelling of a 2000+ year old tragic myth, in which the central theme of the show is how people have been retelling this story over and over again for all of those 2000+ years, every time hoping that it will 'turn out this time', only to be devestated by the inevitably tragic ending. a retelling that begs people to hope, to believe that this time, orpheus will get to take eurydice with him.

"who are you?" "the man who's gonna marry you."

"lover, tell me, when we're wed..."

on reeve's final show, they recreated the end of the show, allowing orpheus to take his eurydice up the stairs and out of 'hadestown', hand in hand with her - an ending that the mythological orpheus & eurydice never got to see.

and then they got engaged, on a bridge overlooking the theatre where they first performed together, while returning to their characters together for the first time in a year and a half.

they are the orpheus and eurydice who made it out. they are what the show begs us to believe in.

anais mitchell, you prophetess.

You have to play portal if you haven’t played it yet thats NOT okay portal 1 is like 4 hours and portal 2 is like 7. How much time do you spend every week scrolling social media. Ok now replace that with thinking with portals. Guess what you just played two 10/10 games and it’s not even Sunday

My local animal shelter (BARCS) just got an influx of 369 birds from a shitass pet store, which is a truly terrifying number of parrots to have inside a building. BUT: there's a donation drive going on right now where you can vote for a pet's face to go on a beer can for their annual BARCStoberfest. Every single vote is a dollar towards animal rescue!!!

You can vote for your favorites such as Tylenol, El Eiwi Gordito, and Cheese here on their website!

no okay but persephone. when you listen to the soundtrack it's like she's a party girl she drinks and has fun but you guys dont understand because every single time she took a drink she grimaced. every single time. not once did she enjoy herself, because it wasn't her indulging in her wants it was her coping. and even!! even during livin it up on top when everyone takes a drink there's a moment of silence where they all look almost disgusted by it. none of them enjoy it it doesn't taste good to any of them yet still they drink it??

and then UGH okay because lady of the underground i was under the impression that she was interacting with the workers and whatnot like making the cracks in the wall that orpheus was about to break down but there's no one on stage. the only people on stage are the musicians, hermes, and persephone. none of the workers are there. she's singing to herself. do you understand do you get it?? especially with why do we build the wall right before that because I didn't realize persephone was in that song?? and the whole time she looks terrified. she Doesn't want to be here she Doesn't want to engage with this (my mom compared the song to being at a maga rally and she was 100% correct) but she does anyway, perhaps because she's forced to. and the look of heartbreak when eurydice appears; the way eurydice is confused and put off at first, but it doesn't take long for her to learn the words and join in????

eurydice and persephone is a whole other thing because I never realized how much of a relationship they had. like persephone is quick to be friendly with her, and eurydice is enthralled by that attention. but then during chant when persephone is singing about like the earth dying and people starving she's looking at eurydice walking by. she's looking at her and she looks heartbroken, she's reaching out to her but she can't reach her because she's not there. she watches as the fates strip eurydice of everything she has, and then that look of despair changes of one to fear as hades' eyes land on eurydice as he declares he'll find someone else who will be grateful. and I know that like flowers can be like an analogy for sa but I really felt it during that part. not so much in songbird vs rattlesnake? but definitely during the end of chant like AJHVSGDJAS.

and then like I said when eurydice enters the underworld persephone looks shaken. because she knows eurydice, and she knows orpheus, and- idk man. imagine being in hell and someone you know shows up, but you know they can't leave and you know they're soon to become a shell of who they once were. like. yeah

EDIT IF YOURE READING THIS CHECK THE REBLOGS THE ONE WITH BLUE'S TAGS IS THE BEST YOU SHOULD REBLOG THAT ONE NOT THIS ONE!!!!

#THANK YOU for pointing out how persephone looks at eurydice during chant bc i think about that so much #she’s arguing with hades and then her attention is drawn to eurydice. “the harvest dies and people starve” is basically directed at her. #persephone is living with this knowledge and it hurts her #i love how hadestown touches on persephone knowing and caring about eurydice and orpheus #she doesn’t put into words how much she knows them but she interacts with both of them like she’s always known them #how many summers has she gone up top and watched orpheus grow. do you think she catalogues when he’s changed the way a mother might #do you think she looked at eurydice and understood her frustration #do you think she knew what was going to happen. do you think she saw a pattern and knew how orpheus and eurydice would end #also! unrelated to what i just said but in livin it up on top #when orpheus says “she will provide” #and persephone responds with “i will” very emphatically #and she’s looking at orpheus #i wonder how much of that was a promise to herself as much as a promise to him and everyone else around #she’s doing the best she can and she’s seeing more and more that it’s not enough #all she can do is say that she’s going to do everything in her power to provide for the people she loves (blueisconfused)

#When I was playing Persephone in Hadestown #they had me walk onstage a little bit before Eurydice enters the underworld in Why We Build The Wall #and every time I walked onstage #I would just watch the workers sing #And then Eurydice came on and I tried to look as horrified as possible #and during the last verse I would snap my head over to look out in the audience #I tried to convey that it was like I was singing along against my will #if that makes any sense at all and #during our lady of the underground we had workers on stage BUT #there was a section I always had fun with where we were allowed to call a worker over for “come here brother.. lemme guess” and #then we’d dismiss them and then #during the section where she’s singing “when was the last time you saw the sky..?” #I tried to make it very apparent that although she was looking at the audience #she was singing to herself #And I’ve been wanting to find a way to yap for a while so I hope you don’t mind my reblogging with my own shit #she doesn’t put into words how much she knows them but she interacts with both of them like she’s always known them #but I was always trying to make the audience get the feeling that #although I was acting like I was just a bit of an overdramatic party girl #there was a lot I was dealing with as the character and I was coping unhealthily #CHANT TOO WAS ALSO SUPER FUN #initially my Hades (awesome guy) and I had the idea that we’d come up and down the stairs on the platform #and it was intended to look like we were sort of chasing each other arguing about what was going on #but unfortunately we couldn’t execute that because there was only a set of stairs on one side of the platform #it was still awesome though !!!!! I was onstage during the part where Orpheus was singing and #I’d always close my eyes when he was talking about how “lady persephone’s blinded by a river of wine” (exceptformarvin)

Quite the one-two punch from blueisconfused and exceptformarvin!!
