#orpheus hades

[corvidonia]

listen listen. everyone talks about achilles, nyx, and even patroclus being parental figures to zagreus BUT WHAT ABOUT ORPHEUSSS?? i stand firmly in the "orpheus helped raise zagreus before he got sent away" corner. nobody speak to me

hear me out. orpheus is in the house when zagreus is born. he assists with him while he's little. but then he stops making music and hades sends him away to tartarus. zagreus quickly learns that nobody in the house is guaranteed to stay. pulls my hair out

"how's Orpheus doing? still wearing his hair in those neat little curls? I'm sure his tan must've faded by now"

well. ahm. 🧍

tfw your wife dies and you're subjected to the underworld's most abrupt record scratch from Little Red Corvette to Bigmouth Strikes Again

Well, at least he tried (Achilles and Pyrrhus attempting some father-son bonding)

Hades game headcanon:

Shades can change their appearance in the underworld.

It is usually to what they looked like at different points during their life, but they can also get older too. Usually it reflects their mental state.

Zagreus' wise mentor has matured since his death, which is why he looks a bit older. When Achilles gets to Patroclus' glade in Elysium, they both look like fresh faced teenagers from Mount Pelion.

Orpheus sometimes looks at Eurydice like she hung the stars in the sky, and she'll catch a glimpse of a purple wedding tunic and a decorated himation. Eurydice will sometimes be cooking whilst Orpheus is at the House, and she might make a dish from her childhood, only to have to cup the bowl with the hands of a ten-year-old.

... just an idea (if someone wants to make a fic or expand on this, yay)

[corvidonia]

someone said "orpheus with the adamant rail" and this came from it

[spineless-lobster]

I completely understand eurydice if I was a hot bisexual tree woman I would also want a sad, pathetic little emo husband to sing songs with

I was compelled to spruce up this old doodle page from 2021 bc a fellow orphhead mootie seemed to really enjoy the rough snippet of Zag breaking his back from the weight of Music........Lord Hades with all due respect, your court musician is fucking jacked

anyways why does darren korb's voice (talking And singing) give me gender dysphoria. sir give that to me i want it. you can't sound like both zagreus and orpheus whenever you want to it's not Fair!!!!

The background music of Tartarus includes motifs from Hymn to Zagreus. Considering that the first area Zagreus has to go through to escape the house of Hades is Tartarus, it's a great musical choice.
