happy pride :)

maybe orpheus always looks back because his very effort to reverse death means that he can't look forward. if he could look forward, he could accept eurydice's death, grieve, and keep moving in life. his refusal to accept her death is looking back. his going down to the underworld, asking hades and persephone for her life, trying to lead her out... it's all 'looking back'. he does nothing for the entire story except look back. orpheus! looks! back! it's his entire thing! the story ends the same way it begins: orpheus looked back.

every day I give thanks for the fact that the performer getting interview and podcast spots to talk about rocky hailmary is a latino gay person who a) has heard of gender and b) knows how to analyze a fucking script. imagine what kind of world we could be living in if they'd recast rocky's voice with an average hollywood A-lister and we were hearing their takes instead. we could be in actual biblical hell right now.

I am not afraid to keep on living I am not afraid to walk this word alone. I am not afraid. I will keep on living. I am not afraid. I will walk this world. I am not afraid. I can do it alone. I am awake and unafraid. Asleep or dead. I will keep on living. You’re not in this alone. I mean this forever. Things are better if I stay. I’ll find you when the sun goes black. Get up coward. I am not afraid.
