Something That Stood Out To Me When Listening To Hadestown Is In 'A Gathering Storm' When Eurydice Said
Something that stood out to me when listening to Hadestown is in 'A Gathering Storm' when Eurydice said to Orpheus, "We need food. We need firewood." And he didn't respond to her because he was working on the song.
The lack of visual (bc I was just hearing the audio) made it seem like he's up in his own head and ignoring her and the whole world altogether. The storm ultimately led to Eurydice's death, and Orpheus didn't even hear her calling out to her.
As an 'artist' that admittedly had been obsessed with a project to the point of ignoring my loved ones and even my own health, that part hits a little too hard. At that moment, he may have loved Eurydice, but he is obsessed with finishing the song.
Obsession overtaking your life is something scary to think about because it can ruin many things for you. Your job, your relationships, your health. The problem is that people don't ask to be obsessed with something. It just happens. It happened to Orpheus, and it cost him his lover.
Idk if I'm reading into the song correctly but that's how I feel about it.

OKAY I FUGURED IT OUT
Duplicate the tab just in case
Exit the draft
"Are you sure? There are changes that is unsaved" notification will pop up.
Click "Discard changes"
After than click back your draft.
BOOM all of the progress you made are back babbyyyy
Delete the duplicated tab
So I'm assuming that the random deletion of my progress counts as "changes" so by existing and clicking "discard all changes" it'll be back.
I was writing my fanfic last night and was pretty satisfied with my progress. When I check what I wrote the next day all of my fucking progress is gone. I don't know if it was all a dream or the wattpad auto-saving thingy decided to just give me the middle finger for no reason. What the hell man

Holding back in tears because how tf am I suppose to explain to my family that I'm crying to a One Piece video essay of all things.
Drawing my favourites from when I got a musical brainrot back in May
A silly drawing I made as a warm up after months of not drawing. I consider this as my only contribution to the Mouthwashing fandom. (I don't like how I draw Curly tbh)
I want to continue talking with my online friends. I don't want to lose them. I want to keep watching Youtube videos to not remember my reality.
Birthday art from last month. Lyrics from one of my favorite Los Campesino! song.
