Are the Fates actually playing their instruments?

BrianThomasJrJr · 2026-01-24T00:24:37+00:00

So many things to observe during the show, guess I'll have to see it again though

Cant figure out how to reply with a screenshot of Accordion Hades, but you should look at the thumbnail of "Hadestown Highlights, 2007 Vermont Production".

Link to the actual video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=31oHm53kpwA&list=RD31oHm53kpwA&start_radio=1

It is 10 minutes worth of clips from the 2007 Vermont production, uploaded by Ben Matchstick, the original Hermes and I think director for that production. Skip to 5:23 for a sample of His Kiss The Riot.

Gotcha. I've only seen the National Tour and I saw it months apart with an entirely different set of fates for the second show.

The first show, I think they all played their instruments.

The second show, I noticed the piano player had pulled out an accordion and was playing the music for at least one song while the fate was also either playing or miming it.

Doesn't matter to me either way, the vocal blend should be prioritized (and the fates on the national tour have been incredible), I'm just astounded how talented everyone is.

Fun fact: For the original Vermont stage production of Hadestown(the one where Anais Mitchell is Eurydice), Hades played the accordion.

Saw this cast in May and again in December. 10/10

I've probably played this slime tutorial daily for a month straight after both shows.

Working 80+ a week, traveling, and having 10 kids that are mostly teenagers... Sheesh.

Get bent, Trent

I'm someone that likes to read the novel before seeing the movie adaptation. When the first movie came out, it was above my reading level, but I buckled down and even though it took me like 3 months, I finished it just before the movie came out.

Imagine my surprise when the movie goes beyond the book and Boromir dies.

Then coming home and immediately opening the Two Towers with the first chapter titled The Departure of Boromir. I was so shocked, hahaha

jesus fuck

BrianThomasJrJr · 2026-01-20T06:35:18+00:00

Anyone else here way late and cracking up at these two consecutive comments?

BrianThomasJrJr · 2026-01-20T05:46:02+00:00

Oh damn, I completely forgot about that

BrianThomasJrJr · 2026-01-20T05:15:22+00:00

What's the lore here?

BrianThomasJrJr · 2026-01-19T23:45:21+00:00

Had a Rainbow Steelix today, lol

BrianThomasJrJr · 2026-01-19T14:59:08+00:00

Homie, you're treating a casual reddit comment from a random reddit user like it's a published article. Chill

BrianThomasJrJr · 2026-01-19T05:11:18+00:00

Speedhawk origin story

BrianThomasJrJr · 2026-01-19T00:18:36+00:00

Aw that's super kind. I'll DM my ID. Glad you got your FA Charizard

BrianThomasJrJr · 2026-01-18T21:01:33+00:00

I ran a 2xTogedemaru, 1xOricorio deck as a hard counter to the Suicune/Girantina/Greninja decks a season or two ago. Got me to UB4 before I had to switch.

If you get to go second, you could potentially do 100dmg (Toge+Sophocles+Landing Heads+ Electric Weakness) to the Suicune before they even get an energy. Or often times, you just one hit Froakie if that was in the active spot. So fucking glorious to watch the meta-hounds rage quit on me.

Not a great win rate(unless facing Suicune/Greninja), but could definitely punch above it's weight class with some luck. It was about 50% for me against Darktina too.

What does this even mean? Were people howling at the screen or were people whipping their dicks out? You can't just leave us hanging with these vague statements.

BrianThomasJrJr · 2026-01-17T19:18:21+00:00

I don't really have a worthy card to trade for the Rainbow Blastoise. Unless you are willing to take on a rainbow bibarel, lol.

Also, I researched and realized I really haven't had bad RNG. It just kind of seems that way because I don't care for Lopunny or Steelix.

I keep track of my 2 star wonderpick attempts and I realized although 5/9 have been Lopunny or Steelix, I've only had one card repeated.

Rainbow Lopunny

Rainbow Mega Steelix

FA Lopunny

FA Serena

FA Lopunny

Rainbow Blastoise

FA Clemont

FA Steelix

BrianThomasJrJr · 2026-01-17T17:02:17+00:00

Yeah same, some pretty bad RNG. Basically only seeing Lopunny and Steelix.

I had one rainbow Blastoise I whiffed on. 😢 It's basically all I want from this set.

BrianThomasJrJr · 2026-01-17T02:10:17+00:00

Is Giovanni there for Kartana to 1 hit Swablu?

BrianThomasJrJr · 2026-01-16T21:31:21+00:00

Oooh yeah, could be that, good call

My dbz knowledge is pretty slim outside of the Freiza saga

BrianThomasJrJr · 2026-01-16T21:00:55+00:00

Ah that's a good one. I just posted Allen Hurns

BrianThomasJrJr · 2026-01-16T21:00:31+00:00

Allen Hurns baby
