The token anatomy and biology explained

I actually had fun making this

And yeah I'll make more to explain the other species

[peskeynonbinary]

i can’t sleep only thinking ab jack wolfeus so here are a collection of things i remember from opening night

before we start a bit of appreciation for kurt elling and rebecca naomi jones, both of whom i knew nothing about and they were both fucking insane

also apologies for how sporadic this is/that there is no order, it’s 4am and i desperately need to sleep but i simply Cannot

enjoy lol

overall jack played orpheus much younger than i think ive personally ever seen, same with morgan w/ eurydice. they both had so much optimism and youthful joy, especially in the beginning of act 1… it was crushingly beautiful

a big piece of hadestown is buying the instant love story, and never for a second did i doubt those two were in love. like the purest, most adorable, sweetest love <3

i saw someone on twitter say they think jack’s orpheus knows on some level that the story is repeating, and i think that’s very true- especially during act 2. as the story went on he gained such a haunting quality to him, a desperation to hang onto eurydice that i haven’t seen in other orpheus’… maybe it’s time-blindness (i haven’t seen the show in a few years) but he was holding onto her like he would literally never ever let her go

i mean we all knew he was going to absolutely eat vocally because like yeah. it’s jack wolfe. but he did so in such a surprising way???? he was singing dialogue that isn’t usually sung, belting parts that are usually more reserved/falsetto-ey… he made the role his own in more ways than just acting, which is crazy

particular standouts for me were:

-wait for me (obv… there was like a full minute long ovation)

-if it’s true (obv… another crazy ovation)

-epic ii… all the epics but specifically epic ii like holy shit

-the wedding song (HUH????? it was so joyous and fun and WOW they sounded amazing)

-livin’ it up on top (specifically The Quote… like god he ate with that line delivery)

-all i’ve ever known (this song never fails to bring a tear to my eye, and he was so heart-eyes in love just reassuring eurydice, absolutely no doubts)

-epic iii (yes i know i already said the epics but this is my favorite part in the whole show okay and they ATE IT UP)

there’s more probably but that’s it off the top of my head… i was dead from the first “la” tbh

yes, we did get his natural accent (thank fuck)

mans was ready to square up with hades in that one moment during “way down hadestown” (iykyk), chest puffed out and everything it killed me

ORPHEUS WITH LONG SLEEVES???? i didn’t realize in the promo pics/because they were rolled up at first, but when persephone left he started shivering and rolled them back down

at the beginning of epic i when orpheus is getting ready to play, eurydice made a really big show of sitting down and he got all nervous

jack played orpheus with so much soft love it was fucking insane. every chance he got he was all over eurydice- hugging her tight (as i already mentioned), burying his face in her, forehead kisses, shoulder kisses, fucking wiping away her goddamn tears… UGH GOD

(if you can’t tell the wiping away the tears really got me… followed by several forehead kisses… i’m such a sucker for forehead kisses)

orpheus kept covering his face and his eyes whenever things would get too overwhelming… like actually shut up

oh my god but potentially the cutest moment of the whole fucking show was post epic iii / the dance, orpheus covered his face for “orpheus” “yes” “you finished it” and then he fucking shouted “YES !!!!!!” like the giddiest, happiest boy in the whole fucking world and everyone clapped

there were so many moments where you just wanted to clap for him/cheer him on. endearing to the max. the peoples orpheus truly

wait for me reprise was everything… morgan ATE that shit up vocally and looked so unbelievably happy and hopeful… meanwhile wolfeus looked absolutely terrified. determined but so so so scared

to be honest there were a couple moments i thought he might turn before The moment. mans was battling demons through the entirety of doubt comes in, which like… yeah obviously, but it was such a drastic shift from the orpheus from act 1, even from the “come home with me (reprise)”. it was so well-acted god

and yes, he did reach down into the hole after eurydice… he also curled into a little ball and sobbed, gabe on the counter style

so essentially my conclusion is that the new hadestown cast is fucking phenomenal and that jack wolfe has (lowkey) reinvented another iconic theater role. also i need to go see it again immediately

edit: i did go again and i did another post with more notes in the reblogs!!!!!

How are the other beasts doing in your crk au? Have they met their other halves? Are any dead?

eghh this took a while- and I needed to be work onotherthingsbut eh. Warning this is long.

the beasts live ( well one was dead-ish but we’ll get to that-) , if they’ve met their other half’s entirely depends on where in the story we’re at about. And how they’re doing.. depends. Mostly dependent on how they’re handling their new souljam virtue and being force shoved out of corruption

Burning spice is actually handling it all best. He’s the most reasonable and least corrupted old virtue. He sort of picks up his old job and turning it more towards an experiment or personal study. Keeping himself busy by ruin searching, figuring out why things broke, figuring out why things continue in living kingdoms and what it may take to break them or keep them together.

Doing so because he wants to, rather than any semblance of duty to it. And finding connection to the cookies he more watched at a distance because of it

he finds cheese kingdom the most interesting, a moving contradiction of a ruined kingdom and a living one. Which is how their base conflict starts. He wants her to let her kingdoms walls down, what would happen to it, and what would happen to the areas the sandstorm tramples. Cheese is afraid of that change tho, feeling things will go south as so as she tries that. Not willing to loose what she still has left.

They find an even ground eventually. Cheese letting her guard down a little and Spice being more conscious of her fears and not pushing them too hard ( if it wasn’t obvious I’ve thought about these two the most)

Eternal sugar is pretty similar to in canon.. but in an almost opposite way? Over indulging and pushing in to the point of strain or burnout to find their happiness. Including herself. She still believes she was doing what was best for cookies while she still had the sloth souljam, confused why she was punished or seen as corrupt for what she thought was right. Sending herself into a panic with the second chance she was given, trying not to mess up

Holly is a calm point for her, someone who recognizes the stress she’s put herself under and getting her to relax and ( partially) understand it’s ok to feel bad sometimes and she’s not failing people if they aren’t always happy. Sugar also encourage holly the passions she’s neglected for the sake of protecting her kingdom Their relationship is a rather healthy actually- a balance of rest and enjoyment. Overworked little goobers

I still haven’t quite figured out mystic story with dark cacao- but she’s closest to her canon self. Unhappy with being removed from her apathy, mystic is angry and scared, unsure about this newer world after being freed

I really need to work on them more..

ahem- finally salt

not explaining Sage because I did already explain him.. and also him and truthless are the costume starting bases for the au-

soo salt, abyssal salt

he’s the only one remaining corrupted to start in a sense. He and Lily keep their original virtues here

The tree sealing went south. A beast missed by the spell and a chase caused a spiral of changes. He doesn’t have his souljam when hes freed, when Lily finds him. Just the remaining shell of armor, and the fuming anger of a guilty knight that lost its soul

He snaps back once he gets his souljam back. Still a kind knight. Rather insistent in self punishment after all that’s occurred (to lilys annoyance). He’s pleased the other old virtues have healed, and the ones inflicted with the corrupted soul jams have recovered. A risk rewarded

Holy stars this is a character dump, I like it but gods- I’m gonna go chill for a bit lol

HORROR CIRCUS - "Cecilia" (Pancake and Zephyr Backstory)

“ Separate my heart from my mind. I wish to see a life with gods and angels. I grow bored of this life. I wish to experience all til i tire, only then will all of me die.”

🎪THE CIRCUS:

Cecila was a woman in the 1800s, with a Caucasian Mother and a Korean Father.

She was born into the circus where the performers were kind... However, with all of them being the victims of poverty, when injury came during a circus act, they could not afford medical attention, leading to death... This is how Cecelia's mother came to pass, orphaning Cecilia.

📚AFFLUENCE:

After some time, though, a kind rich man loved the performances of the people, and after knowing their struggles and the abuse that came with it, he decided to adopt the entire circus, providing them shelter and money.

Cecila proceeded to live a life of affluence, where she read romanticism, art, and painted... All the things a woman in Neoclassical times would need.

👁️THE DEAL:

But she would later grow bored with this life... seeking more. She was never really a woman who made sense. She was strange, with strange thoughts and feelings...

and so she reached out to a god... Calling his name.. Yourimeer...

She would then proceed to make her wish.. “ Separate my heart from my mind. I wish to see a life with gods and angels. I grow bored of this life. I wish to experience all til i tire, only then will all of me die.”

With that wish, Cecilia split into two: Godliness and Humanity.

💫THE CIRCUS:

Cecelia will later live on as Pancake and Zephyr

Experiencing boredom, to Zephyr, the thought of staying alive is the equivalent of being unable to turn the page of a book. Death is as insignificant as reading the end of it.

Human as she is, Pancake has the human need to be kind, to be loved, to be taken care of... She is genuinity and need put into a person...

🩸DEATH:

Zephyr wants to die, and you cannot kill Zephyr without killing Pancake... As a part of him will still be alive. There are hints of their merge in Zephyr's Office, and once the players of the Dnd One-shot figured it out, it became a moral struggle.

But in the end, Pancake and Zephyr have died, putting an end to Cecilia
