Speaking of medieval history, it's fun how the popular accounts are all "the peasantry disliked nobles, but typically loved the King and attributed any harmful decisions to bad advisors", and then the rare examples of surviving testimony from actual peasants are like "I hope the King literally explodes".

Popular histories: Medieval peasants understood themselves as inhabiting a cosmic order in which the King was their divinely appointed superior.

Actual medieval peasant: God, please set the King and everyone who looks like him on fire, Amen.

People assume, wrongly, that medieval peasants were uniquely stupid and subservient to the political order. This is not true. The truth is that chainmail armor is really hard to get through, and when the guy collecting you taxes is on a horse in full chain, weidling a sword that can kill you from roughly any position, it's hard to argue against unfair taxation models.

eurydice’s longing for a quiet life rips my heart out. all this girl wanted was a place to stay, a permanent home. a place she can come back to. she probably wanted a cozy, humble home, maybe a family with the boy she adores. she did not want to save the world, not like orpheus did (though she loves him for it), she just wanted to take a nap. life has casted her out, and all she wants is to be let back in.

i think this proshot also made me realize how similar hades and orpheus are. at the same time hades is telling persephone how much he's done for her (how much he hasn't listened to her and is just doing what he THINKS she'll like instead of paying attention to what she's saying and what she needs) at the exact same time orpheus is distracted by his song and not paying attention to what eurydice is saying and what she needs. what she's begging him for, what she's crying out to him for. he's so wrapped up in his own mission and his job that he forgot to listen out for the person he loves most. hades knew orpheus would turn around because that's exactly what hades himself would do

I will never ever ever get over audience members gasping when Orpheus turns around. the intrinsic human trait to know how a story ends, and still be shocked and heartbroken when it ends that way. and then we sing it again. goooooooood.

Everyone loves a cycle aware Orpheus but what about a cycle aware Eurydice? Eurydice who tries her hardest to resist the hunger and the cold. Tries to convince Orpheus to just LOOK UP time and time again to no avail. Eurydice who KNOWS and still fails. She knows he’s gonna turn around. She knows they’re not gonna make it out of hell together. But she hopes. Every time she hopes that he loves her a little bit less than the last time. Hopes he won’t look back. But of course, Orpheus is still Orpheus. And he loves her more than anything.

school uniform codes extending to what colours you’re allowed to dye your hair, and what piercings you can have and stuff is so crazy. you HAVE to go to school and you’re not even allowed to have pink hair or pierce your nose about it????

“oh it’s to prepare you for the workplace” okay. i don’t think any workplace should be dictating what you can and can’t do with your body either and i think it’s strange to decide to teach children that their body is not their own
