The fact that people are claiming that they won’t trust the allegations against Neil Gaiman because the author of the article is “TeRfy” is bullshit. People cry out “support victims” unless the supposedly wrong kind of person calls attention to it. Like fuck man just the age range between Gaiman and his victims is more than enough evidence for me
Speaking of March 15th I love the song Brutus by The Buttress. Straight up a jam at 10:33pm at night when I'm working on sketches
thinking about how in why we build the wall from hadestown, the workers under influence, or rather as extensions of hades, one hive mind lost of individuality, sing about how the wall that they’re building keeps out the enemy (poverty) because the enemy is after their work.
“The enemy is poverty, and the wall keeps out the enemy.”
the work in question however, is the building of the wall.
“What do we have that they should want? We have a wall to work upon. We have work and they have none.”
now, hades says it himself:
“And our work is never done, my children, my children.”
and that’s what capitalism does, or rather, is. it’s a vicious cycle that relies on the fear of poverty, poverty created by capitalism itself, to keep functioning. it thrives on exclusion and fear mongering. and that’s why, in hadestown, what sets the riot in motion is love, expressed through song. if capitalism blooms when watered by hatred of anything other, anything that is not created by capitalism itself, then it is beyond important to keep the parts of ourselves and our communities that have not been touched by that hatred, such as love or music or art or writing or speech or alive. by doing that in the world we live in now, we keep hope alive of the world we dream about.
Get their ass OP!
tbh didn't do jack shit for autistic people lmao
Oh yeah? Watch this:
I once saw a youtube comment wish that Doubt Comes In didn’t include Eurydice’s part so that we could experience the trial from Orpheus’ perspective and feel the same doubt of whether she’s actually following him. I thought about this for a bit and would like to appreciate that Hadestown doesn’t go down this route. All things considered, Eurydice is the true main character of Hadestown: she gets the dramatic final introduction in the opener, Any Way The Wind Blows is very much a traditional protagonist “I Want” song, and Act 1 closely follows her changing perspective of Orpheus whilst he just kinda stays static throughout. Although Act 2 sorta forgets about this set-up and leans more towards Orpheus as the story’s hero, she still gets an upward journey from a jaded woman bitter towards the lonely world into an intensely passionate optimist who would walk with her lover to the end of time. It would be a disgrace for her voice to be taken away at the very end of the story, as the suspense comes not from dreading that Orpheus’ doubts may actually come true, but from hoping that Eurydice’s renewed faith and assured attempts at comforting her broken lover will be enough to save her.

Hi y'all, I'm kat (spelled with a lowercase k on purpose) and I am an adult autistic woman who is still in her education journey as of now. Although I've been on this hellsite for awhile I thought I'd update this about me to reflect the kind of stuff I plan to post
For the record I am alright with minors interacting on this blog though I will tag posts with "aunt kat's adult topics chats" if they are nsfw or something I'd rather not the minors who follow me interact with (More under the cut)
I am a feminist and I make no qualms about discussing my beliefs around feminism on my blog due to the fact I consider this blog a space to get my thoughts out though I am always seeking to educate myself on issues that I am less familiar with. Due to the fact I am American and white i recognize that I will have gaps in my knowledge and thus I seek to empower voices that have more credence than my own on certain topics. My hope is that I will be able to compile blogs that are comfortable being listed on a post I plan to make for resources on subjects that I do not consider myself an expert on
My asks will be open to both public and anonymous questions however I will more often than not be very delayed in responding to asks so I apologize in advance to anyone who sends time sensitive asks. My dms however are closed to anyone I don’t know in real life so do not message me there because I will not respond
I’ll be slow to update this blog as of now though I’ll make a more in depth post describing what I post on this account sometime later
