what they don't tell you about hadestown is that orpheus and eurydice are not the main characters. neither are persephone and hades. or hermes. or the fates. the main character is whoever in the band is playing the trombone because holy fuck

If you see this you’re legally obligated to reblog and tag with the book you’re currently reading

I can't stop thinking about how at the end when Orpheus turns around, the camera cuts to a view from over his shoulder and all we can see is Eurydice. We are looking back too.

I was watching Starships, as you do, and had the thought that surely someone must have made a similar style fanvid for horses.

Many fruitless searches later, I found myself here.

(in case anyone needs context, since i know there's a bunch of younguns who didn't even know the "It's gonna be May" meme... The song playing is NSync's song "It's Gonna Be Me", the guy in the mint green t-shirt is NSync member Lance Bass, and the guy in the pink hoodie is his husband Michael.)

Do we think Howl Movingcastle actually finished his PhD?

Yes, and that’s Dr Jenkins to you

No, and most of ALL THIS is because he’s really just putting off his viva

he’s in grad school, but we don’t need to label his progress right now.

He was absolutely lying about all that. He DID go to undergrad (to play rugby)

Howl can’t read.

I thought he’d finished it? Wasn’t running away to another world so he wouldn’t have to look for a job?

[elodieunderglass]

Two good pieces of evidence in the text;

When accused by his sister (noting that they were working-class, in the 1980s, in the UK, where and when Howl’s university education would’ve been completely free of charge)

“(You) had all that education, and you don’t even get a decent job, you just hang around, wasting all that time at college, wasting all those sacrifices other people made, wasting your money…never doing an honest day’s work, never getting a job I could be proud of”

As told to Miss Angorian, in the midst of a pack of lies:

“Miss Angorian,” said Howl, “if you have heard all those things about me, you must know I wrote my doctoral thesis on charms and spells. You look as if you suspect me of working black magic! I assure you, I never worked any kind of spell in my life.” Sophie could not stop herself making a small snort at this blatant lie.

There’s some wiggle room in how much we can choose to believe the layers of narrative and presentation here - and writing his thesis isn’t a guarantee of defending it! - so what do you think?
