my favorite screencap is (not so) easily when Lucette and Karma are in the forest and Karma puts his hand over Lucette’s eye from behind… when i tell you i GASPED
thinking about how orpheus turning to look back at eurydice isn’t a sign of mortal frailness but a sign of love
“Eurydice, dying now a second time, uttered no complaint against her husband. What was there to complain of, but that she had been loved?” ― Ovid, Metamorphoses
This is true no matter the version you’re reading.
1. Eurydice trips and Orpheus turns to help her because he loves her.
2. Orpheus cannot hear Eurydice behind him, and fearing that he’s been tricked, turns to make sure she’s there.
3. Orpheus makes it out of the Underworld, and so full of love and excitement to be with Eurydice, turns to embrace her, forgetting that they both need to be out of the Underworld.
No matter what happens in the story, Orpheus loses Eurydice because his love for her compels him to look.
i say into the mic, “roy mustang blames himself for destroying riza hawkeye’s life and knows there’s nothing he can do to atone for it, no matter how many war criminals he puts to trial or how much he helps rebuild ishval, and he respects her too much to deny her the trial and subsequent execution she wants no matter how excruciating he finds it.” the crowd booes. “she’s right,’ comes a voice from the third row. it’s hiromu arakawa, raising a glass of milk.
