heartbreak weather!

good afternoon,

[psyche-hero]

You ever consider that Charles and Edwin are like Orpheus and Eurydice?

Stop me if you’ve already heard me (do not under any circumstances stop me)

But the very basics of the myth: Orpheus goes to Hades for Eurydice, unwilling to let her go. Reaches her, almost gets her out, almost gets their happy ending, then fails.

Now Charles got them out. Of course we all saw that. So obviously they aren’t like Orpheus and Eurydice. They aren’t a tragedy. They can’t be they got out, so obviously they aren’t comparable in more ways than just… setting.

But did they really get out? Was that ending happy? Was it even sad?

No. It’s hopeful. It’s a hopeful ending. Like putting the book down when Hades agrees to let them go before he even says the but.

Niko is missing, Crystal is reconciling who she was with who she is, Charles and Edwin have just learned about communication and the love confession is up in the air.

They are out of imminent danger, yes. But their story is not complete. It will never be complete (if Netflix has their way). They are stuck in limbo.

The story of Orpheus and Eurydice was a tragedy.

The story of Charles and Edwin? Forever unfinished. We will never know if it’s actually a tragedy. We will never know if it’s not.

The lack of proper ending traps them. Sure they haven’t explicitly been doomed. They can’t escape the fate of Orpheus and Eurydice, which in a way is the same.

my thoughts on the whole Cameo Thing™

Putting my first tweet in a screenshot; the rest is copy-pasted. And for context, since the quoted tweet was (understandably) deleted, it said, "Yes $100 is a lot, and it feels a little classist as some of us won’t be able to afford it."

Cameos are not a public service. No one is hurt by not having the ability to spend $100 on a video. No one is being treated worse than others because they can't afford a personalized video. I don't understand how "classist" would even come to mind.

Even if that was the worst example, I'd still fully get J's reaction. He and G are professionals. They deserve to be paid fairly. Based on G's earlier rate, other ppl's cameo rates, con photo rates, and how unique J&G are... $100 is a great deal.

I expected the $100 price tag. If George charged $50 for one person... I mean, there's two of them now. 50 x 2 = 100. I'm shocked that more than a handful of folks were surprised.

A personal anecdote: I've just started taking art commissions this fall. I am finally confident enough to charge a rate that fairly compensates me. Honestly, I should probably charge more.

Things like art commissions, cameos, convention photos/signings all fall under the same umbrella. They are treats. They are luxuries. They are never going to be equally accessible to all. It's not just price; it's also time, expertise, location, etc.

What kind of message does it send artists, writers, actors, creatives, etc when we frame their reasonable* rates as selfish and wrong? * reasonable based on industry standard, not on individuals' wallets

Anyway. J radiated enthusiasm for another chance to engage with us. I expected his happy bubble to burst at some point—I was surprised by his level of fandom engagement tbh—but that doesn't make it any less fucking sad.

If you're upset or heartbroken or angry because Jayden is backing away: maybe think about why, and if you could change what you do to help protect yourself from suffering this kind of distress should something similar happen again.

original meme

[lunarsolar1]

I just want to say that if Edwin is allowed to go to heaven (and maybe some day, maybe in the serie finale if we ever get s2 and s3, they choose to finally move on and leave the earth)

I think they will go together with death, but then get separated to go to their own paradise,

Only for them to find each other in that paradise of eternal sleep because it turned out their paradise is with each other 😇���
