Since he's at least situationally part of the Marvel-verse in Milliways, Orpheus will also be going noir. He's a mob-owned entertainer, working off his considerable and ever-growing debts by playing in various, mob-owned casinos.

He still has the tragic past, and he's still ridiculously talented.

Just one last note to say that, now that Milliways has moved to Dreamwidth and Orpheus' paid LJ account has run out, I'm moving him over to DW exclusively. It's been fun LJ, but I'm moving on now.

Just because it cracks me up to think of him as Orpheus: Garrett Hedlund in a Prada runway show.

Watch the video to see him smirking at the crowd and groping his own ass.

(Also, is it just me, or do most of those models look incredibly awkward?)
golden_lyre: (hmm?)
So, I knew this day was coming eventually, I'm just a little sad it's come so soon.

I've planned on moving Orpheus (and all my other characters) over to DW for a while now, and I've mostly been holding out because a) ALL of my CR for Orpheus is on LJ right now, and b) he still had some paid time to use up.

But his extra icons are expiring soon, and his paid account is going a couple days after, so it's looking like it's time to make the move. I don't intend to give LJ any more money, and I really don't want anyone else giving them more money on my behalf. He is in Milliways, of course, so the actual move won't take place until after the game moves, but I thought it would be a good idea to mention it as soon as possible.

Just to be clear, I totally understand people who want to stay on LJ, and I have no problem with that. It's just not something I feel comfortable doing, and while this particular move was certainly precipitated by the infamous release 88, I've been having issues with LJ for a while now, and that was just the last straw.

I do not at all want to lose any of the lovely CR I have with folks over on LJ, but I'm definitely planning on moving over to DW pretty much exclusively. (I love my icons. I love my paid account features. And I definitely do not love how the new comment scheme on LJ lets you see all your icons as though they're still active, but displays your default every time you pick a nonactive one.)

If you'd like to play with Orpheus over on DW, that would be awesome, of course :). Mostly he's just in SWS comms and Memebells (and Milliways, but they're moving as well), both of which exist (if slightly less actively) on DW. I will try to be better about posting links to his threads in his journal, which will cross-post to his LJ, but other than that, I do not have the brain power to keep up with him on two sites. Not with all the other characters I'm juggling as well.

So, yes...consider this a public service announcement? I'll probably post another one after Milliways migrates, to let people know I'm actually moved. Until then, I'll still be playing on both sites, or trying to, at least.

Orpheus by Robert Kelly

"Orpheus can never look back at the real woman trailing behind him out of hell, the woman that anybody could see with ordinary eyes. Orpheus must keep his eyes firmly fixed on the imaginal Eurydice before him, towards whom he has struggled all his life. She is not imaginary, not at all, but realer than any mere apparency, than any momentary act of seeing. He must move always towards that perfect image of his wife, and so sustain himself and his song. If ever he turns back, that is, regresses into seeing his wife as an ordinary woman, she is lost. And he is lost."







Everything written about Orpheus is so heartbreaking.

If you would like a verse with Orpheus, drop me a line. I'm always up for new things.
golden_lyre: ([art] frieze)
Before we lay together
in the fragrant
grass
I was only
half alive.

A frost came
and scythed
the whole
field flat.

Maybe she loved me,
maybe not--
who knows?
Not even the gods
can see into
a human heart--
it's that dark.

But mine beats
its syllables
of need
and I begin
my journey
with no thought
but this:

I'm lost,

lost,
unless I bring her back.
