so i wrote a tiny lil hadestown fan fiction based on some fan art i found on pinterest :3
again, not my art, but here’s the inspo
Spoiler
and here’s the lil story
SpoilerOrpheus dropped to his knees.
Gone.
She was gone.
His hands sank down onto the ground, grabbing handfuls of dirt, clutching at the soil as if it would somehow bring her back. As if somehow, it carried a piece of her, some part of her to grab onto. To bring her back to him.
Eurydice.
He could still taste her name on his tongue, still see her standing there, even through the flood swelling in his eyes.
He’d failed her for the last time.
The lyre on his back was a heavy weight, a reminder of the price he’d paid for his lover.
I have to finish the song, he’d told her. A song… to bring the world back into tune.
And finish it he had. And now spring would come again. But at such a price… was it worth the cost?
She was dead, and he was alive. And it was his fault.
The long grass rustled as Hermes knelt beside him, trailed by the scent of warm jasmine and old parchment.
“Aight,” he whispered.
Orpheus sank lower into the dirt. Take me with you.
He’d never been so aimless. So helpless. So stupid.
But how was he to know? How was he to know that Hades spoke the truth?
“They’ll be waitin’ for you,” Hermes said gently, laying a careful hand on Orpheus’ shoulder.
“Then they’ll be disappointed,” he choked. He tried to swallow back the lump in his throat, tried to force it to fill the chasm in his chest, but it wouldn’t move. A tear streaked down his face and fell to the dirt, where a small red carnation rose from the soil.
All of the breath left his body. He reached out to touch the petals. They were soft, like her skin, and bright, like her eyes.
He let his hand drop again, and he plucked the flower gently from the ground.
“On the road to hell, there was a railroad line,” Hermes sang softly. “And a boy with music in his soul… he lost his lover before her time. He wrote a song of love for her, and this is how it goes:”
Orpheus knew what came next. He opened his mouth, but no sound came out. He sat back on his heels and held the sacred flower gingerly between his fingers.
“Singing la, la la la, la la la,” Hermes prompted. And somehow, Orpheus found the strength to join in.
“La, la la la, la la la.
La, la la la, la la la.
La, la la la la la…”
His voice broke. Hermes gently squeezed his shoulder, lifting him to his feet.
“Come on, son.”
“Wait,” he blurted. He looked out, with wavering vision, over the plain. He could see the path they’d walked.
His heartbeat thumped out her name as he held up the carnation for her, took a deep breath, and sang:
“Wait for me, I’m coming. Wait, I’m coming with you. Wait for me, I’m coming, too; I’m coming too.”
His voice seemed to rouse a breeze, plucking loose the petals of the flower born from his tears. Even when his voice faltered and died out, leaving silence in its wake, the breeze carried the petals onward, back down the path they’d come.
Orpheus stood watching a long time after the petals had disappeared.
But eventually, Hermes’ hand reappeared on Orpheus’ shoulder, and he looked up at the old, lined face, as if for approval. Hermes gave him a small nod, then steered him away down the slope.

-

when you have a problem and you know you have a problem but you don’t want to acknowledge the problem because that means you really do have a problem and you have to solve the problem and you don’t really want to solve the problem because you quite frankly like the problem but the problem is damaging your quality of life and your relationship with certain family members
betcha cant guess what the problem is
-
i told my dad yesterday that i don’t have a type
but my family and i were talking about celebrity/fictional crushes/crushes from media and i’m pretty much very certain that i do
nod from epic, tyler from love 4 a walk, azriel from angel of death, flynn ryder, will turner, gale hawthorne, captain jack sparrow…
must i go on?
gimme a tall strong sarcastic bad boy who’s actually a lil baby softie and has dark hair and intense eyes and my gosh my heart
all my friends rlly like blondes but i’m sorry BRUNETTES????? HAVE YOU SEEN THE BRUNETTES?????????? AUGHHHHHHHHHHHH *sobbing*
theyre so beautifulAND BRUNETTES WITH TATTOOS?? AND THOSE SHARP CANINE VAMPIRE TEETH????? JUST BITE ME ALREADY
i mean what
-
i’m literally shedding like a snake
wear sunscreen guys it’s not worth it
-
ok this is so random
but i HATE when people are like “ugh you can’t pronounce any of the ingredients in these food products!”
THAT DOESN’T EVEN MEAN ANYTHING
IT JUST MEANS YOU’RE NOT EDUCATED
GO LOOK UP THOSE INGREDIENTS SO YOU DON’T STAY STUPID AND YOU CAN ACTUALLY MAKE CHOICES ABOUT YOUR FOOD WITH YOUR OWN JUDGEMENT
anyway
uh
how are all of youuuuuuuuuu

@Cash67 exactly. there was so much in chem i couldn’t pronounce…
@Silver Phantom i’ve never seen mamma mia so i don’t have an opinion on the subject but i will admit i don’t particularly love jukebox musicals
oh and to answer your question, i keep seeing ads from these creators that are like “AND, it’s all natural with ingredients YOU CAB PRONOUNCE!”
and it’s just so stupid because not being able to pronounce a word likely means it’s just hard to pronounce or you just don’t know what the word means so the answer is to look up what’s in your food—not all of it is necessarily bad
anyway

anyone else feel like people are just being polite and you keep waiting for the switch to flip and for everyone to tell you what really goes on in their heads when they see you?
anyone else feel like you’re finally making progress until you sit down and think about how you’re doing and you’re really just still sad and anxious and apparently you’re SHing in obscure ways?
anyone else feel frozen every single time you sit down to do one of your favorite things, and it really just doesn’t hit the same anymore?
anyone else feel stuck inside some kind of impossible puzzle box of vices and obligations but it’s something you built around yourself?
anyone else gaslight themselves out of believing they need help?
yeah. me too.

*hugs*
Anyone else hurt when others hurt?
Anyone else wish that they could read your thoughts so that they would be reassured that you care about them?
Anyone else drive themselves crazy wishing they could fix everyone's problems, but still feel powerless to fix any of them, and eventually realize that the majority of people don't even know you exist?

There is nothing wrong with not making the first move...
But as someone who did,
I will say,
It helps.
You would be surprised how many people feel like you do. I did for a long time. Taking the first step is intimidating, but so SO rewarding. And if you expect the other person to make that move, then you will be disappointed more often than not. I will say this, however: be very careful who that first step is with. I could have had so many relationships, but I waited. And eventually, I found the most perfect girl in the world. (I refuse to budge on that point.) So I went out of my way to make the first move. That relationship is now four years old and only looking up.
-
that’s fantastic!! i’m so happy for you, whirte!
i think maybe i’m scared to make the first move because the first time i did was this guy whom i liked for FIVE YEARS. when i told him i liked him, he shrugged, took a bite of a cookie he was holding, said “good to know”, and walked away. he now avoids me like the plague haha
and i don’t care abt him anymore but like that rejection HURT
i also can’t seem to catch feelings but uh
thanks for the advice :))
