IIRC part of Hades's curse in the first game is that he would never have a heir no?

So I've been thinking about this, and thinking about the direction Melinoe's arc might go in the final full-fledged game and hm. At the start of the game, pre-character development Melinoe seems like the perfect heir. Diligent, hard-working, conscientious, task-oriented in a way Zagreus never was. Hades 1 Hades would dreamed for Zagreus to be like her here.

And yet it never happened. Chronos takes over not after Melinoe is born, and she's raised far away from the House and its norms (I wonder then, since Mel is aware of the Family Curse that this is the reason why she blames herself for the demise of the House). She works hard to restore that, but she does it at the cost of her own well-being and who she Is as a person.

And that's the kicker I think. There's a lot of evidence - convos between Melinoe and others - that highlight how much she doesn't have a life. Eris is constantly pointing out how ~ boring ~ she is and trying to get her to "enjoy life" albeit in Eris's own terms and ways. Heck, even Hercules warns her against Olympus and even her Father (even if it's projection on his part), suggesting her task might not be what's cranked up to be.

So I wonder. Melinoe is the Goddess of Nightmares and Ghosts in the myths yes, but also she's associated with invoking Madness. We see a little bit of that in her repeatedly giving Chronos no peace (I wonder if defeating him for real would involve getting into his nightmares. I mean, Hypnos is asleep for a reason right?). But also she's described as being a beast apparition with many forms, a way for people to communicate with the dead. That seems to tie her more to the Surface in a way.

Anyways, what I'm saying is, I think her arc is gonna go in the direction of her relaxing her stance on her Mission. Taking and enjoying herself. But cause of circumstances, she returns home, but it's not the same. She's not a member of the House structure in a way that matters, Time cannot be stopped, things cannot be the way it was before. She's gonna stick to what she knows, stick to the Crossroads and Hecate and maybe fighting Chronos to keep him down and up to the surface all the time, maybe causing her own version of chaos and doing it cause she enjoys it, or wants to, not just cause it's expected of her. So maybe she drives everyone insane or sows mayhem cause of it so what.

Vox no matter what the ppl on twitter do to you you will always be the overcompensating insecure tsundere baby I saw and fell in love with the first time I watched Hazbin.

I think I said this after Calamity too but like. It's not that there's a wrong way to enjoy fiction, precisely, but I really do think that when someone's first or even seventh instinct upon watching a tragedy is to say "wow imagine the potential for Everyone Lives Fix-it Fic that gives me the ending I wanted" that is genuinely more unsettling to me than like, the tragedy itself.

It's funny how finding yourself as an adult often leads to getting back to who you once were as a child, before the world got its hands on you. Bring that person back!

imagine my surprise when i see people i have never talked to or interacted with (but i have seen liking and reblogging my fics by the way) talking about me in such a malicious ways. i am not going anywhere. as i have stated multiple times before i am a briize and i'm here to write about riize and have fun. i have never said anything about seunghan to warrant such an insane reaction from so many people.

honestly speaking, what do you guys want from me? when seunghan was announced to be coming back i said i was fully ready to support him and get to know him and possibly write for him in the future (despite the constant hate and disrespect i got for not writing for him for valid reasons). when he withdrew from the group i wished him well. you guys are trying to bully me for continuing to support riize but i have never said anything of malice about him so you guys are resorting to spreading false narratives about me to make it seem like i'm some evil parasocial weirdo who sent a wreath to him personally. i am a riize smut blog on tumblr. please get a grip.

whats ur thoughts on wriothesley x clorinde yoru yoru? 🤔💜

hello love 💓 i'm not a shipper at all, i just don't see the fun in that (nothing against people who ship characters, again, it's really just me not being interested in those things🙇🏻‍♀️) but hmmm, i think they look really cute together 🧍🏻‍♀️💓 idk i know nothing about shipping lore but they were so cool in the archon quest i really felt their dynamic, especially when they both worked together 👼🏼

not sure it's my post to make particularly, but I do fucking hate how the concept of white guilt gets weaponized within white people ingroups to throw at each other in order to goad each other into emotional passivity, detachement and inaction, it's just so extremely not what the concept is about initially and is actually still an extension of white guilt it turns out!!! as it's still reacting to that idea and concerned by trying to sever oneself from its perceived effects, regardless of what those are and what they do and what bigger picture they exist in!!!! anyway.

WACC S2, EP4: "lying to yourself"

cherry had been in a big dilemma whether she wanted a second season of ‘what a childish cheory’ or to try and come up with a new idea. cherry had lots of ideas for shows, a long list and she liked every one of them. so many shows she wanted to do at once, but she was aware that was impossible. at last, after much thought, cherry decided on a second season of her podcast, with a little twist to it. the blonde had been excited, and she still couldn’t quite believe the show was all coming to an ending, it happened so fast.

“hello everyone, this is episode four of the oh so amazing podcast ‘what a child cheory!’, with your amazing host kim cherry who cherish you all. yup, i said episode four, meaning this is the last episode, thank you to everyone who watched any or all of the episodes! a bit emotional it’s already come to an end, but to cheer me up for today, i have my lovely lovely guest joining me, please introduce yourself!”.

Play careless, sloppy life altering games, end up with soul sucking, depression inducing prizes.

−−−  ꧁ the vendor had paused at her request : several wooden boats . zelda was a 17 year old , who needed several boats . and even then , several was not yet enough to carry all her memories . so , the vendor had stopped her at just seven .

allegedly , they're supposed to sink to the bottom of the sea .

purchases in tote . . . some days , zelda still felt like jumping into water and never getting out . some days , she felt like drowning in a spring would have been the correct option . some days , it felt too cruel of her to keep breathing . like running uphill , her chest tightened at the realization that climbing a peak wasn't an ending . . . but a midway point . it wasn't done and over , although it should be . being left alone with a memory was far more lonely than solitude could even fathom .

in silence , zelda knelt beside the bay , taking out her small boats one by one .

one for mipha . she had served her duty with the grace of a true princess and emblem of the zora's resilience in the face of adversity . one for revali . he had trained so tirelessly to stand brave against fate and represent the best and brightest of the rito . one for daruk . he had looked over her with an unwavering kindness and a strength . one for urbosa . she had dared believed in her -- dared to loved her when nobody else could .

throat strained and choked on her silence . this is supposed to feel cathartic , but it only feels heavy and threatening . seven boats , in total , and even then they couldn't hold the weight of her grief . a flower petal for each to remember life by , a coin to buy them some peace , and a torn prayer to forgive her by some grace of the goddess .

sweat-laced hands pass out her offerings when snot begins to run from her nose , and in shame zelda catches it with the back of her hand . a hiccup in her breath ; there wasn't enough oxygen in the world to make it easier to breathe . seven boats blur into one as the princess sits , unmoving and weighed by the heaviness on her mind . focus . focus on your training . you were born into this .

one for mother . she had died believing that zelda would someday grow to be a capable leader as she had been . one for father . he had died believing that her utter incompetence gave her no right to possess the name zelda . one for all the people of hyrule . they had become the ghosts to her guilt .

bubbling , festering , boiling : zelda dug her hands into the sands and threw a handful in a fit . and another . another . it just wasn't fair . life just wasn't fair to her . why did the world hate her so much ?? why did the goddess hate her ??

the girl gasps a breath . why , she was even terrible at being quiet !!

defeated , zelda folds inwards , hiding from the world as frustration turns to emptiness . she is 17 years old , and she needs several boats . she needed several , but the vendor had stopped her at seven . he didn't get that seven just wasn't enough .

Joy is muscle memory. It shouldn't be, since it's an emotion we know from birth, but eventually, other people will make you feel silly for embracing it. The world will try to take your joy away. Your misery is an exploitable commodity, your hate is socially rewardable. You have to relearn joy. You have to start grasping at every opportunity for joy like a baby grabbing an adult's finger. You have to white-knuckle grip your love and passion until your joints lock in place and the joy can't slip away. You have to build the muscles that know how to be joyful and let the muscles that care what others think about your joy atrophy. Joy is muscle memory.
