this is my favorite comic ever i never don’t want to see it on my dash

thinking about hadestown as a story in which each character realizes both that they're in a time loop + that there is an audience observing them at different points throughout the show

[doublevampires]

there's this moment in if its true where it seems like orpheus is pleading with the audience to change how the story goes. eurydice knows this has happened before by come home with me reprise ("i can sing us home again" "no, you can't" "yes, i can" "no, you don't understand") but orpheus doesn't know until doubt comes in ("who am i to think that she would follow me into the cold and dark again?"). the gods are both observed and observing (hades and persephone and hermes all stand off to the side for most of the show when they aren't the main people in a scene); for hades and persephone, this happens year after year anyways without any kind of time loop narrative, but hermes is fully aware from the beginning of the narrative structure of the story, obviously.

[doublevampires]

persephone knows all along that she's being observed, but the amount she cares varies between actors (amber gray's persephone does not care that there's an audience; jewelle blackman's persephone is desperate for this story to be witnessed). hades never knows.

[doublevampires]

cause here's the thing! to know how it ends!! and still!!! begin!!!! to sing it again!!!!!

“What would happen if we stopped acting as if the primordial form of work is laboring at a production line, or wheat field, or iron foundry, or even in an office cubicle, and instead started from a mother, a teacher, or a caregiver? We might be forced to conclude that the real business of human life is not contributing toward something called “the economy” (a concept that didn’t even exist three hundred years ago), but the fact that we are all, and have always been, projects of mutual creation. Labor, similarly, should be renegotiated. Submitting oneself to labor discipline—supervision, control, even the self-control of the ambitious self-employed—does not make one a better person. In most really important ways, it probably makes one worse. To undergo it is a misfortune that at best is sometimes necessary. Yet it’s only when we reject the idea that such labor is virtuous in itself that we can start to ask what is virtuous about labor. To which the answer is obvious. Labor is virtuous if it helps others. A renegotiated definition of productivity should make it easier to reimagine the very nature of what work is, since, among other things, it will mean that technological development will be redirected less toward creating ever more consumer products and ever more disciplined labor, and more toward eliminating those forms of labor entirely.”
