Eye contact: how souls catch fire.

Stars are not small or gentle. They are writhing and dying and burning. They are not here to be pretty. I am trying to learn from them.

What if we have it wrong? What if heaven is chaos and hell is harmony? Would we finally learn how to love this anarchy we call our souls?

Hadestown begins in the open air, in a world of poverty. Eurydice asks her lover how he will provide for her in these dark times - Orpheus is sure that the world will provide {Wedding Song}. Orpheus sings, and his singing draws a crowd {Epic Part One}. An old train depot, and everyone’s talking about Hadestown, the walled city underneath the ground {Way Down Hadestown}. There’s Hermes, the hobo guide and messenger; Persephone, in transit, suitcases in tow; Eurydice, who is more than curious about Hadestown; and Orpheus, who wants no part. When Hades calls, Eurydice receives him {Hey, Little Songbird}. He seduces her: she should leave Orpheus and join him in the wealth and security of his underworld. Eurydice succumbs {Gone, I’m Gone} - was she pushed, or did she jump? The Fates provide an explanation {When the Chips Are Down}. Orpheus is determined to follow Eurydice, and Hermes gives directions {Wait For Me}. Meanwhile, in Hadestown, Hades indoctrinates his worker-citizens {Why We Build the Wall}. But when he turns his back, Persephone presents another side of the underworld, in a speakeasy where she plies her contraband and takes an interest in the newly arrived Orpheus {Our Lady of the Underground}. Eurydice, unaware that her love is near, laments her decisions {Flowers}. Orpheus moves toward her, but is intercepted by the Fates. The rules are the rules - there’s no going back for Eurydice - it’s better not to struggle {Nothing Changes}. Orpheus challenges the Fates {If It’s True}. A fight scene: Orpheus and the speakeasy are exposed {Papers}. In the royal bedroom, Persephone appeals to her husband on Orpheus’ behalf {How Long?}. Orpheus sings again, and this time, Hades hears him {Epic Part Two}. An uprising begins, in Hadestown and in the heart of the king {Lover’s Desire}. Hades comes up with a plan: Orpheus can have Eurydice back if he can walk out of the underworld a few paces ahead of her and not turn around to make sure she’s there {His Kiss, The Riot}. Orpheus and Eurydice begin their ascent {Doubt Comes In}. Later, Eurydice and Persephone sing a reverse elegy for Orpheus {I Raise My Cup To Him}.

Every book has a soul, the soul of the person who wrote it and the soul of those who read it and dream about it.

Have you ever thought “Hmmm I’d love to read a webcomic about Les Amis de l’ABC in high school au, that would be full of cliches and Les Mis fandom inside jokes?’’?

SO GUESS WHAT I AM GOING TO DO? 

Yes, I decided to start a webcomic because my life is boring (school? new phone who dis?). I’ll post all pages on THIS blog, but since I’m still working on a theme, this page will be available both on my personal blog and the webcomic one. 

Updates every Friday, I promise that the next pages will be better, it’s just the first that big comics I’ve ever made.

If you have any questions, hit me up! And - I love Enjolras’ mum. 

|Buy me a coffee and I’ll draw something for you <3|

concept playlists: eras

it’s 1893 and you’re laying in a field of violets with your lover. it’s almost night, and almost winter, so you know nothing will last, but for now, you’re going to just stay there. you think this is what the romantic poets were talking about when they wrote about love. there’s something enchantingly terrifying about the extravagant and corrupt society that is bound to destroy you soon enough.

a bright disillusioned summer’s just begun in new york in 1924, and you’re going to spend it getting involved in drama that you have no business in. you can’t really stand the people you’re around, but they throw great parties. might as well spend your days acting like you’ve seen it all already.

you’re in paris and it’s 1957. the strange books you read don’t make sense–but that’s on purpose, probably. you’re excited for something, and you’re not sure what, but you can’t help but be happy. you’re falling in love with every girl on your train, and everything seems beautiful, bright, and exciting.
