jjk hadestown au please I'm literally foaming at the mouth
especially inspired by all the times gojo has had to walk away from geto like pleaseeeee
idk who I'm talking to like I should be the one to write this 😔
but (I'm trying to use gendered grouping terms less) people of the royal court listen to my ramblings
gojo is Orpheus. he doesn't quite fit the whole sunshine optimism "I can make the world a better place" that og Orpheus has, BUT I feel like highschool him was somewhat along that track? and I just absolutely adore the concept of gojo just being a lover in all regards and just generally being really expressive with his emotions and music would just like Max that.
yuji is Orpheus. his personality is a lot more of the youthful, passionate thing Orpheus has going on. I would see him going down to the underworld with nothing but his lyre (it's a guitar) just cause he's in love. he's someone who would fight for that and love with his whole heart. love yuji he's amazing 🫶
so if gojo is Orpheus, then obviously his eurydice would be geto I'm genuinely, legally obligated to do that.
geto is eurydice actually fits quite well especially for his highschool arc. the world hasn't treated him well, his moral compass is drifting because he's exhausted by the weight of his duties. eurydice is alone and hungry and struggling in a desolate world. gojo would be his solace in that, but if he abandons him what does he have to lose? why not sell his soul, if it meant he would feel whole? (elite rhyme I'm so tuff holy chud)
guys megumi is my queen I love him. anyways shut up lae get on with it. we can see in the story that yuji significantly changes megumi. he's a silly annoying sunshine in his life, like Orpheus for eurydice!!!! he's quiet and a bit aggressive/ snappy because he was not really raised by emotionally expressive gojo. he fits the ragged, desperate traveler of eurydice, but also shares her desire to be safe and satisfied and warm. sknddnns I love megumi my child 🥹
for hermes let me thinnkkdmd
I cannot for the life of me remember his name but the six eyed insanely magic guy, who needed the star vessel? cause he is very old and has observed those stories again, and again🎶
but if we're doing yuji and megumi i think gojo could make a good hermes?? like his own experience with loss of beloveds, he sees these kids and just sighs and helps yuji approach megumi. again and again..🎶🎶
for hades and Persephone if it's Orpheus! yuji and eurydice! megumi, then I think yutta and maki?
cause yuta as hades because he's seen the horrors of the world 10x as their upperclassmen, and is kind of jaded and sad 😔 idk I could see him singing build the wall
but also sukuna and ice girl maybe???????
but then I feel like maki doesn't quite fit persephone. because Persephone in hadestown is characterized as an alcoholic who can't do her goddess duties and lives in an underworld that's sucking the soul out of her. she's bright and beautiful and loud to make up for her despair. idk to me maki doesn't fit that, she's more of a fighter and a direct coper. but I wanted the hades, persephone to be a couple so ideas would be welcome!!
nobara I feel like could fit persephone well but I headcanon her as aroace so hard I just don't ship her with anyone. 😭
for gojo geto their hades persephone I have no idea send help 😭😭
fates!!!! ahhh this one is so good
so I think this will end up being a bit of an odd lineup, so don't judge.
fate 1-- principal I forget his name of jujutsu high. I feel like he's the type of give warnings and haunt ppl and whatnot
fate 2-- sukuna??? idk he'd be there to plot their downfall. like he is personally singing doubt comes in in yuji's ear or gojo's! both work
fate 3-- lawyer guy I forget his name. he's sad and spooky, and just generally I feel like he would be a great fate.
lmkkk thoughts in the comments or my ask box!
