We’re standing with him

I highly recommend Kaos on Netflix if you’re into modern retellings of the Greek Mythos. The cast is super-diverse in race, gender, body type, and disability status in a way I haven’t seen before in something of this production value.

Also Zeus is a total tool played by Jeff Goldblum having the time of his life.

fans of circular narratives when the narrative is circular: oh boy sure enjoying this circular narrative

I’m so sorry but this looks like someone’s attempt at a Hadestown visual novel/dating sim.

"if i was orpheus i would simply not turn around" yes you would. if you were orpheus and you loved eurydice, you would. to love someone is to turn around. to love someone is to look at them. whichever version of the myth — he hears her stumble, he can't hear her at all, he thinks he's been tricked — he turns around because he loves her. that's why it's a tragedy. because he loves her enough to save her. because he loves her so much he can't save her. because he will always, always turn around. "if i was orpheus i would simply —" you wouldn't be orpheus. you wouldn't be brave enough to walk into the underworld and save the person you love. be serious

5 am is the best time to get the drill out and hang stuff up because it's when the walls are at their softest

why don't u listen to some folk & blues & realize that our timeless commonalities as humans vastly outweigh what few differences u perceive as alienating

one thing about orpheus and eurydice is you guys are all like “i’m different i wouldnt turn to look at her” because you are all familiar with the story of orpheus and eurydice. but orpheus wasnt familiar with the story because he was in it lol.

“i wouldn’t look back bc logically if she’s not there it wouldnt help to look and if she is there looking back would cause me to lose her” cool so has love never made you stupid and insane

another thing thats interesting is i think most people assume its a walk of reasonably short length that you have to resist looking back. but we dont know how long that walk was. its out of the underworld, time could work very differently. could be days. could be months. could you walk for months without looking back to see if your love is okay? i dont think you could
