Machut is the imposter

BLESSED POST

Pokemon Heritage Post

i do in hindsight really love the concept of complaining about adaptational changes in a 3000 year old oral tradition of which there isn’t really a definitive version so much as a surviving one that is also the most adapted story of all time. my chud forebears in Roman Britain throwing rocks at a bard going nah nah nah the last one said some different other shit at that part you gotta do it again is a comforting image to me

Cannot possibly explain how feral I feel about the Hadestown proshot having so many shots that include the audience. Because they’re as much of a part of the story as Orpheus and Eurydice and Hades and Persephone are. Because they are there watching however they’re powerless to do anything except watch because that’s just the way the story goes but they sing it anyways and and and

Every time I have seen Hadestown - on stage or in the movie theater - people gasp when Orpheus turns around. I just love how it's so old and yet everyone is still always hoping that this time

Obsessed with how eva and reeve portrayed eurydice and orpheus in the proshot. Eurydice's very obviously fragile wall of snark falling apart when she encounters the living embodiment of faith in oneself and the world... and she has nooooo idea how to handle that, and it's so scary and it doesn't make sense but she still wants soooooooo badly for someone to allow her to be gentle it eats her up inside!! And when it's all taken away from her it's even worse cause you understand right? She doesn't! wanna go back! to the lonely life!! The earth-shattering delivery of "Orpheus! I'm hungry..." ohh head in hands. it's also quite beautiful how orpheus doesn't doubt himself at all (in act 1) while never coming off as arrogant. Idk i think a lot of orpheus portrayals fall into making orpheus too saccharine and dopey and puppy-dog like which can be cute but the conviction, the (almost) unshakeable determination, that orpheus had in the proshot is just so gooooooood. You can see it in his eyes and the way he looks upon his makeshift flowers. He doesn't just think things can get better, he knows they can. He has a gift to give and god damn it, he is gonna give. And then you smash that big heart of his to pieces in act 2 🥰 And the way orpheus is so so achingly gentle with eurydice... when their hands come together ouuu.... he just barely lays one finger in her palm, and then eurydice mimicks that movement with herself when in distress (during little songbird? Somewhere in Act 2? I forgor). They hold each other so tightly... sobs forever. My pookies......

Kinda insane just how much the accommodations and consideration for Patrick Page's disability improved the show and gave Hades a whole new layer of depth. Every show should be so good to their disabled actors

Ice beam is low-key a sauceless "standard" move for its type

Roko's Basilisk is bullshit but I entirely believe in this specific infohazard

I love how Tumblr can agree on absolutely nothing except that you should not do this

The thing about Korra is that if she destroyed the world it’s because the world had it coming
