#ID BE THE IMMEDIATE FORGIVENESS IN EURYDICE?????

[astrobei]

talk by hozier is a will byers song but idk if y’all are ready for that convo

[justaz]

was thinking about my merthur greek stories post and ran into a few tiktoks about orpheus and eurydice and got to thinking even more. just imagining them going thru a trial for some reason with the same premise and arthur is leading but cant help but look back to make sure merlin is still there and they think that means they fail but it just proved to whoever was running the trial that arthur was a loving and caring man so they passed it,, yay happy ending.

but then someone said “if orpheus had loved eurydice less, he could’ve saved her” and i got to thinking about canon merthur and started crying. if merlin had loved arthur a little less, just enough to where he didnt let the distant threat of doom hang over his head, where he didnt push morgana and mordred away, he could’ve saved arthur. if he had loved him just a little less

[ID:

1. Still from the movie Portrait of a Lady on Fire that shows a woman (Marianne) speaking. Captions on the image say, “He chooses the memory of her, that’s why she turns.”

2. Lyrics from “Doubt Comes In” from the musical Hadestown that read, “[ORPHEUS] / Who do I think I am? Who am I to think that she would follow me, just to make me leave alone?”.

3. Text from the play Eurydice by Sarah Ruhl that reads, “ORPHEUS: How will you remember? / EURYDICE: That I love you? / OPRHEUS: Yes. / EURYDICE: That’s easy. I can’t help it.”

4. Text from Book X of Ovid’s Metamorphoses that reads, “They took the upward path, through the still silence, steep and dark, shadowy with dense fog, drawing near to the threshold of the upper world. Afraid she was no longer there, and eager to see her, the lover turned his eyes. In an instant she dropped back, and he, unhappy man, stretching out his arms to hold her and be held, clutched at nothing but the receding air. Dying a second time, now, there was no complaint to her husband (what, then, could she complain of, except that she had been loved?). She spoke a last ‘farewell’ that, now, scarcely reached his ears, and turned again towards that same place.”

5. Text from the poem “Eurydice” by Ocean Vuong that reads, “Who would believe us / now? My voice cracking / like bones inside the radio. / Silly me. I thought love was real / & the body imaginary.”

6. Lyrics from “Talk” by Hozier that read, “I’d be the voice that urged Orpheus / When her body was found / I’d be the choiceless hope in grief / That drove him underground / I’d be the dreadful need in the devotee / That made him turn around / And I’d be the immediate forgiveness / In Eurydice / Imagine being loved by me”.
