#Orpheus

[where-that-old-train-goes]

not normal about orpheus and eurydice. you loved someone so much it opened the stones of the underworld. so much that death had to listen. so much that everything stopped for your love. so much that you turned around. so much that even when you did wrong. she forgave you.

I think my life has been revolutionised WTF

“solangelo is patrochilles reincarnate this, solangelo is orpheus and eurydice reincarnate that”

solangelo is hyacinthus and apollo

ruegard is patrochilles

valgrace is orpheus and eurydice

percabeth is odysseus and penelope

What could he do? Where could he turn, twice robbed of his wife? With what tears could he move the spirits, with what voice move their powers? Cold now, she floated in the Stygian boat. They say he wept for seven whole months 📷: @callmelasagna

"If I were orpheus I wouldn't look back"

But we look back everyday- rechecking emails, making sure a friend is still behind you, checking to see if you remebered to pick up your keys. It's second nature, a habit of care.

It was second nature for him too. He looked back, not out of weakness, but love. For what is love, if not to look back?

Wolfstar x Song of Achilles AU?? Wolfstar x Hadestown??

[hgracieeees]

there's something so endlessly poetic about eva noblezada and reeve carney's relationship.

they met & fell in love while performing the central romantic characters of a retelling of a 2000+ year old tragic myth, in which the central theme of the show is how people have been retelling this story over and over again for all of those 2000+ years, every time hoping that it will 'turn out this time', only to be devestated by the inevitably tragic ending. a retelling that begs people to hope, to believe that this time, orpheus will get to take eurydice with him.

"who are you?" "the man who's gonna marry you."

"lover, tell me, when we're wed..."

on reeve's final show, they recreated the end of the show, allowing orpheus to take his eurydice up the stairs and out of 'hadestown', hand in hand with her - an ending that the mythological orpheus & eurydice never got to see.

and then they got engaged, on a bridge overlooking the theatre where they first performed together, while returning to their characters together for the first time in a year and a half.

they are the orpheus and eurydice who made it out. they are what the show begs us to believe in.
