Inimitable Original

and then UGH okay because lady of the underground i was under the impression that she was interacting with the workers and whatnot like making the cracks in the wall that orpheus was about to break down but there's no one on stage. the only people on stage are the musicians, hermes, and persephone. none of the workers are there. she's singing to herself. do you understand do you get it?? especially with why do we build the wall right before that because I didn't realize persephone was in that song?? and the whole time she looks terrified. she Doesn't want to be here she Doesn't want to engage with this (my mom compared the song to being at a maga rally and she was 100% correct) but she does anyway, perhaps because she's forced to. and the look of heartbreak when eurydice appears; the way eurydice is confused and put off at first, but it doesn't take long for her to learn the words and join in????

eurydice and persephone is a whole other thing because I never realized how much of a relationship they had. like persephone is quick to be friendly with her, and eurydice is enthralled by that attention. but then during chant when persephone is singing about like the earth dying and people starving she's looking at eurydice walking by. she's looking at her and she looks heartbroken, she's reaching out to her but she can't reach her because she's not there. she watches as the fates strip eurydice of everything she has, and then that look of despair changes of one to fear as hades' eyes land on eurydice as he declares he'll find someone else who will be grateful. and I know that like flowers can be like an analogy for sa but I really felt it during that part. not so much in songbird vs rattlesnake? but definitely during the end of chant like AJHVSGDJAS.

and then like I said when eurydice enters the underworld persephone looks shaken. because she knows eurydice, and she knows orpheus, and- idk man. imagine being in hell and someone you know shows up, but you know they can't leave and you know they're soon to become a shell of who they once were. like. yeah

the candle being representative of eurydice's livelihood

the look of pure fear and terror on persephone's face during the end of chant when hades is talking about basically cheating on her. imo you can see in her expression that the worry is so much more for eurydice than it is for herself. amber gray is a legend ugh she conveys these little things so wellllll.

orpheus jumping between hades and eurydice during the end of chant.

all the subtext during hey little songbird & flowers. augh eurydice i mourn you

our lady of the underground. that's it. the whole number.

expanding upon that, amber gray in general. she is a phenomenal actor and she just fucking kills it every time she's on stage.

the way we can see all of their facial expressionssss ughhh i love seeing all the little acting choices

being able to see orpheus just off to the side during hey little songbird. like he could almost step in if he could just look up.

why we build the wall. and both times the fourth wall is broken to drive home the message about the state of the world

the obvious metaphor for global warming

the way patrick page worked his injury into hades' character. it's so fucking cool of him to be able to utilize it. seeing hades slink around with that cane in a sort of crouch was soso good.

ON THAT NOTE, HIM BEING AT THE TOP OF THE BALCONY DURING "i conduct the electric city!!!" AND THEN BEING BACK ON THE STAGE AFTER THE BLACKOUT. THAT WAS SOOOO COOL

long story short: i need help paying my car insurance this month. i was SO close to being able to pay for it myself but i missed a few days of working (i do doordash/food deliveries in general right now) bc of the heat or the storms or just not making enough that day to put more gas in my car.

i'm hoping to get at least $40 but literally anything will do. i'm going to try to go out this evening when its not so hot, but im low on gas and its apparently going to rain again, so, everything is up in the air and i might not even make anything. (i literally made nothing on sunday and i was out for almost 5 hours😭)

my dms are always open if you have any questions

im semi-homeless (and unable to fully work right now - everything i *am* making has to go to bills and my elderly dog) and i finally was just able to get a hotplate and pot to cook things with... if anyone wants to help me get some canned veggies or pasta to help me eat, even if its for the day, id be sooooo stupidly appreciative

$5 can get me a few cans and maybe a box of pasta or something. but anything helps. 🩵 feel free to dm me if you have any questions!! p.aypal: airikah v.enmo: itserij c.ashapp: $itserij
