Tbh rewatching the OBC Hadestown cast bootleg I’d say that no one quite hit that awesome Hades/Persephone dynamic in the show as Amber Gray and Patrick Page. They are so 👌

And with them the show works in its fullest.

#I could write a big post about how their characterisations of these characters work remarkably well for the narrative #hadestown #also now you can’t @ me for not seeing it live #that’s not to say I other characterisations are bad or anything! I watched boots and we show and they were great #but I also got to see London proshot with OBC and once again appreciate the og take on the character in good quality #so like I do think other casts work as well but it seems to me that where Orphedice work 100% with literally any pair of actors you see #hadesphone gives from 85 to 100% of overall narrative experience #maybe I’ll explain what I mean later if you’re interested

my comfort ships are straight. im gay tho. i promise.

#this is a post about hadesphone and orphydice

ok here's my take on a modern hades/persephone retelling:

funeral director hades who is in a polyam relationship with 3 other people that act as his dogs and persephone is like weird but ok and she gets into it. demeter finds out and comes at hades with a gun. she shoots him in the stomach but its not fatal. persephone is sad and takes care of him and it leads to, you guessed it, woundfucking because of course it does. in my story they are both switches and persephone wears a strap. she licks hades' blood, which is a metaphor for the pomegranate seeds she ingests, forever linking her to hades. and scene.

#talked to my friend about this and she was ready to disown me #but listen i think i ate with this one #aa. #aa.txt #also this was born from us going through all the hadesphone books we can find #which is a choice we have made

Hadesphone is not Beauty and the Beast. It’s not Catradora. It’s not Entrapdak. It’s not Ambrosius and Ballister. It’s not a powerful beautiful complex romance story. Hadesphone is Reylo. The Kissing Booth Fifty Shades of Grey After Hardin Scott style. He kidnapped her, he broke her mother’s heart and spirit, he caused winter. He’s not a bad guy because he’s the god of the underworld. He’s not as bad as Zeus. The God of Dead can be a wonderful title, benevolently dividing living beings from dead souls, punishing those who need punishment. Hades constantly being villainized for that specific reason doesn’t make sense. But, he still sucks because he’s whiny and dangerous, and Persephone did not travel to the underworld by herself. He sucks for different reasons.

Eros and Psyche is Beauty and the Beast. Not Hadesphone. They’re the complex, messy, and gorgeous romance story. They’re an addicting Greek mythology ship. They’re catradora and entrapdak and goldenheart. They’re dynamic, they’re toxic but redemptive. They’re not abusive, they’re magical, they have issues, and they sort it out, they’re a dark but hopeful romance story.

Hades and Persephone is shit. And it’s okay to like shit, I myself enjoy a McDonald’s Fish Filet burger from time to time, many shitty ships are intriguing. But to paint them off as a complicated but loving story- to the point where the general public fuckin forgot how awful Hades was- the constant romanticization and glamorization of Hadesphone (Lore Olympus sure contributed) disappoints me lmao

#flop post #long post #anti hades x persephone #persephone deserves better #anti booktok #anti lore olympus #I have anon turned off so idc about any bitching ppl will give me from this post

[godsofhumanity]

Hades, to Zeus: For someone who loves Persephone, you sure don't know her that well. She's brave, she's smart, and most of all, she's not gonna be pushed around by a bully like you!

Persephone: *genuinely touched* Thanks for having my back, Hades.

Hades: *smiles* Hadesphone against the world.

#submission #''she's not gonna be pushed around by a bully like you''... err hades. pot meet kettle? #fandomsarefamily1966

[waitformereprise]

hadesphone

#thjsj is for annika

[littlestarbeam]

Also instead of a Hadesphone panel I'm redrawing that one scene where Zeus and Hera are kissing and stuff and Zeus goes 'Oh hi Hades didnt see you there' and asks Hades where his date is, but with Octavian + Jeyna.

-LO anon

that gonna be so awkward

What if Hades and Persephone were on a magazine cover?

3. Pour the Fruit of the Vine

Characters/Pairings: Hermes & Persephone, Persephone/Hades (with mentions of an adult child)

Rating: T

Warning: cigarette smoking, mentions of alcohol

Summary: Hermes and Persephone enjoy a late summer smoke, waiting for a train.

Here they are, herself and her brother: just two lost souls, waiting for a train.

Hermes is being a nice one today, keeping her company. Seems like for a woman who travels as much as she herself has done, an awful lot of her life is like this: sitting in the in-between, waiting to go from one place to another.

Which just goes to show, really, how much even gods gotta wait for transportation. She laughs at her own thought, amused, and Hermes looks at her kinda odd. Guess he ain’t read it out of her mind.

“Think it’s the first time I’ve seen you in a jovial mood in many an age,” he says with a drawl. “Usually ‘round now, you’re cursing his name.”

“Oh, don’t bring him up.” She grabs a cigarette out of her bag; she’ll stink to high heaven when he comes, but she has to calm her nerves somehow, and this seems as winning a possibility to do so as anything else. Honestly cigarette smoke is hardly the worst thing the old man has smelled on her.

“Sorry, sorry.” Hermes leans a hand down into her bag, ever-so-carefully touching at her booze. She hits his hand lightly; he’s getting slow. Was a time when he coulda picked her pocket before she even knew he’d gotten within six feet of her.

But they’re both getting old, now. Slowing down. Entropy the only thing in this universe to make even the very gods cower.

“Why you come sit and with me, brother, year after year?” She asks; she is curious. Hermes almost always keeps her company when Himself is coming to call. Hermes smiles and shakes his head, doesn’t answer the question.

“He pay you to do it?” She has wondered, over the years. By her own request, Hades doesn’t storm up too often. She’s not got the time for him to make pleasure visits, and were he the type to make visits for pleasure, he would insist on wholly occupying her time.

“No, sister girl, he don’t. I should ask though.” Hermes looks mock-pensive for a moment, before shooting her a shark-skin grin. “Bet I could get quite a bit of back-pay at this point.”

“Mama bribe you in hot cakes then? She give you a little extra beer for the bar?” The bar is a new addition, ever since Hermes picked up Calliope’s little stray boy. She wonders if it’s odd for Hermes, to stay in one place.

He has traveled so long.

“Your momma makes my beer, ‘course, and I do get the family discount. But I’m charming enough to get that all my own. Don’t need to be bribed into spending time with you. You’re my sister, after all. You just have to accept I like your company.” He glances toward her bag again, and the cigarette in her hand. “Don’t suppose you’d help a brother…?”

“Fine,” she says; Hades will buy her more cigarettes. Rare is it that anyone wants to indulge in a nice smoke with her anymore anyway. “Just don’t complain to me if it’s too strong for your blood.”

“Much obliged,” he drawls and pulls out a cigarette. He lights it with a quicksilver lighter he keeps in his pocket, which she raises her eyebrows at.

“Ain’t had one in an age. Problem of parenting, I’m afraid. You know. Afraid of being a bad influence. Like you, when you was little missy no-liquor-passes-these-lips for a few years.” He gives her a teasing look, and she frowns. Wishes Hermes wouldn’t talk about that either. Zagreus hasn’t been around in a couple of summers, himself busy with his own work, and she misses him, but she doesn’t want him to see what his pa has become.

“I don’t think you’ve got anything to worry about there, brother. That boy’s a good boy, your little guy.” She takes another inhale, exhale; enjoys the view of the smoke that, for once, isn’t coming from her husband’s smokestacks. Tobacco’s a more natural thing. “Never knew you smoked.”

They both ignore his train, comin’ round the tracks. She hears the chugga-chugga-chugga noise of its engines in the distance; won’t be long now.

“I enjoy the odd vice now and again. Just ain’t had reason to indulge.” She nods, doesn’t point out that all she’s got is reasons. That all he’s given her, for seasons upon seasons upon seasons, is reasons.

He takes a long puff and blows a smoke ring, and she laughs, and he smiles. “Nice to hear you laugh again, sister. Maybe that’s why I like traveling with you.” He studies the cigarette in his hand. “Or maybe it’s that this thing is packed so full of nicotine it would burn out even auntie Hestia’s lungs.”

It is hard to burn out a living ball of flame, of course. But she knows the comment is meant to suggest something she already knows.  

Here comes the final whistle; she takes a deep puff of her cigarette. Man couldn’t even let her get it half-smoked.

“Here he comes,” says Hermes, standing up. “You ready?”

“No,” she says. Of course she is not; he is three months early and the bottle in her bag is a watery and pathetic vintage because of it. “And sit your ass down, he ain’t worth the respect of you standin’.”

Hermes looks at her for a long moment, hesitates slightly – her husband is a king, and a peevish one at that, unlikely to miss a slight. But after a long moment, he agrees, and he puts himself down next to her, just two old people sitting and smoking on the bench.

There’s room for one more, too, and part of her wonders if maybe he’d stay and sit with her for a bit. After all, he is a King. Sets his own time-table.

The door opens, and a man steps out. Old Man Winter himself, dressed in his finest little coat. He sees her and Hermes, sitting there, smoking ‘em down, and he frowns.

“What’s this?�� He asks.

“Some of us need help to get our voices down low,” she says, because it’s a harmless joke and one she thinks he’ll laugh at.

He doesn’t.

“Time to go,” he says.

“In a minute, in a minute.” She pats the seat next to her; she wants him to be a person who will stay, even knowing from the face of him that he wants to go. She reaches down with one free hand and pulls out the wine. “Let’s catch up. You ain’t talked to Hermes in an age.”

She ignores the look on Hermes face that suggests he might like to keep that streak going. She cracks open the wine, water-weight though it is.

“Persephone,” her old man warbles.

“Not yet,” she says. “You can sit here, or on the train, but we’re gonna finish our smokes, with our without you, and have a glass of wine for good measure.”

She cannot say why she decides that moment is her line to cross; perhaps it is that it is three months early and she wants it to be two months and twenty nine days and some insignificant amount of hours instead. Perhaps it is that she misses her boy and deludes herself into thinking that if they linger, he might have heard pa’s whistle and come to see the sound – as much as she does not want him to know of Hadestown, she thinks, it would be nice to see her boys together again. Perhaps it is just that she is tired, and life is long, and one of her few pleasures left is to smoke a bit of tobacco and drink some bad wine while her husband makes up awkward small talk with Hermes.

Still, whatever it is, it is enough to make her almighty husband bend. He holds out a hand and she passes him a cigarette, which he lights with an old lighter that he filches from her pocket, a reminder of a long-time intimacy that’s gone somewhat fuzzy around the edges. She fishes around in her bag, digs out three cups – meant for the workers, really, but they’ll work here just as well.

“Sit down and let’s pour the wine,” she says; she’ll probably get ash in the cup, but eh, wine’s bad enough it’s good to have an excuse as to why it tastes bad. For now, she’s gonna enjoy herself, sitting with her friend and her husband.

“Pour the wine,” says Hermes.

“I suppose it’s summertime,” grumbles old man husband, unhappy about it. She ignores them both, pops the cork, and tries to preserve that unmistakable summer warmth for just a few seconds more.

The fact that NYTW Hadestown Doubt Comes In ends with:

- You’re early

- I missed you

Is so so sick and twisted

#hadestown #hadestown nytw #like it’s a murder #I get why it was changed but each time I remember it I’m gutted by the parallel between orphedice and hadesphone
