I’M HOLLERING B R U H
OK OK WAIT I WILL ADD THIS OLD SKETCH I DUG UP >:)))
HOLY SHIT HOLY SHIT AAAAAAAAAAA
I LOVE THAT SO MUCH
It’s an old song. It’s an old song from way back when.
Can’t art lmao. Anyways the AU is in full swing now ✌️
Hi I have some more designs. Phoenix and Miles as Persephone in Hades. This AU is rapidly consuming me.
It’s messy but I wanted to sketch out ideas for how they would look. Anatomy hard :(
Okay okay, I think I have a list figured out. There were some that were obvious and the rest were kind of up for debate. I need to work on some designs after this. So, let’s go—
Hadestown AU
Orpheus - Klavier
Eurydice - Apollo
Persephone - Phoenix
Hades - Miles
Hermes - Kristoph
The Fates - Maya, Ema, and Trucy
I’ve been listening to the musical non stop to get an idea and made myself extremely depressed. If you know the story of Orpheus and Eurydice then uh—I’m sorry,,,
But listen to Hadestown because the music is absolutely stunning!!!
It’s “Hadestown.” It was always going to be “Hadestown.”
community hadestown au
• abed is orpheus
• troy is eurydice
• annie is persephone
• jeff is hades
• shirley is hermes
• britta clones herself and she’s all three of the fates
(if u know how the myth ends u can draw parallels btwn that and the ending of geothermal escapism :^))
edit: dean pelton is annies understudy. i dont make the rules.
Hilariously, I always switched Jeff and Annie.
Annie is Hades (she grabbed Jeff in full view of witnesses and dragged him down into the underworld back in Debate 109) and Jeff was Persephone (you know, as the grabee kissed against his will).
Oh! And then there’s the traditional offering of food in the Underworld when it’s just the two of them. Annie (Hades) offers Jeff (Persophone) a quick kiss on the lips. And Jeff turns around and eats Annie’s face in response. Which ends up haunting both of them to a greater or lesser degree for the next five damn years.
I think their personalities more fit with the traditional Hades/Persephone dynamic: Annie pretty much never wavers once she decides what the rules are and that she should be in charge of enforcing them (Hades). In fact, at the end of the series she’s going to the FBI as an intern. It doesn’t get more law enforce-ish than that.
Jeff, both personality-wise and as a defense attorney, is always looking at ways to creatively get around or enforce the laws (if you look at Greek mythology, Persephone is the one who is always doing this, whether it’s coming up with creative punishments, or giving people a pass on them through creative interpretation of the rules). Plus, he escapes Annie’s circle of influence (Greendale) every summer, while Annie is no doubt preparing for her return to Greendale all summer.
Sooooo….yeah. Glad I’m not the only one who has ever thought this.
So I’ve been on a Harry Potter rewatch and you know how it is with rewatching a series getting you shipping the noncanon pairings and I’ve always liked Harry/Luna so when Hadestown came on my Spotify I thought they’d work as Orpheus and Eurydice (with perhaps it mirroring their non-canonness that those lovers are destined to be doomed).
However, the inspired part is it doesn’t matter which you make which as they both have equal claim to both roles (on the one hand with Orpheus!Harry and Eurydice!Luna you don’t just have genders lining up but a very obvious Hermes (who I shouldn’t even need to say) and Harry still doing the whole chosen one dramatic foil personal loyalty to the freaking extreme thing as well as (be it emotional angst or flirtations-with-the-dark-side) dark!Luna being fun to play around with in AUs but on the other hand Orpheus!Luna and Eurydice!Harry are a greater personality match (Luna being the idealistic dreamy one who simultaneously has that much insecurity in her own actions but faith things will work out and Harry being the comparatively more practical one yet also anxious enough to get “tempted by darkness” out of sheer need to protect his own tuches against an uncertain future) and Luna’s got the connection with nature and it being totally on-brand that she could do what Orpheus does if she had the power and Harry has a life governed by Weird Fate Shit and essentially having to raise himself)
