The 26th Century Battle of Procyon 5 which includes on the Federation side all 24th Century Models: Prometheus, Dauntless, Nova and a Vor'cha Class cruiser. (Now there's certainly in-universe reasons why that could happen but definitely we spent all our budget on the upcoming battle + we had to build an Ent-J hallway, had to cut costs somewhere).

God I have so much to say about Melinoe's characterization, and the fasinating implications about her future arc/the overarching plot of hades 2. I want to make a larger think piece with pictures but for the moment I'm just going to focus on this one specific thread.

In the wake of the Prometheus reveal, she has a slew of convos about his motivations for siding with Chronos, and the gods basically all go: this is his vengeance for us punishing him a tad cruelly. And Nemesis is like, yeah the gods 100% deserve it. But Meli's responds that he must have more motivation than just vengeance, it can't just be that. But when Prometheus explicitly goes, 'I'm doing this because the gods are horrible to humanity and I love humans,' she basically goes, no he must be lying. That motivation is both too pure, but also humans kind of suck why would you care about them?

Mel's humanity hot takes deserve it's own essay (Ms I think Humans should have never gotten fire and are better when they are dead), and I just want to focus on the former for now. She can not comprehend that Prometheus is fighting the gods for noble reasons. It just does not make sense to her. Mel's world is so black and white. She doesn't understand the nuance of the situation, and the thought that the gods might be actually in the wrong doesn't even get close to crossing her mind.

It's a fascinating (and horrifying) result of her upbringing. Of the constant state of war and the very convenient big bad that is Chronos, the evil monster who stole her family. If she accepts that his side isn't completely evil, that they might even be right in some (even many) respects, she would have to grapple with her whole life. Everything she believes would be thrown into question, the literal thing she was training her whole life for.

She can't have Prometheus fighting for a noble cause, because he fights for Chronos whose the Bad Guy tm. But he also can't be fighting for something as simple as vengeance, because that would also mean she would need to really think about what he's angry about. If the punishment was truly so unnecessary cruel.

When talking to Odysseus about Prometheus, when Ody's saying how much he respected him for stealing the fire despite knowing the consequences, Mel says that it was the price to be paid for breaking Olympus's decree. To her, Olympus's rules are sacred and ultimately good. Unquestionably. Prometheus broke the rules with intent, so to her, why would he be so angry at the consequences? Especially if he knew because of his power they were going to happen.

So he must have another reason, some secret machiavellian plan that drives him. Except as I already said, it brings her right back to him doing it for humanity, which she also can't accept. Because that would be admiting that the gods did something wrong to humans. She twists herself into knots to justify her worldview, and it's fascinating! She's so messy I adore her.

Please Supergiant please the final surface boss has to be a human pleeeaaasse (preferably a living one). Or at least have one (or more) show up in some other capacity. Mel needs to come face to face with the other side and have it utterly destroy her worldview.

And/or have (Pan)Dora betray her for Prometheus, that would also be very fun haha.

hello gay people in my phone, how are we feeling

[theanxiousghostartist]

I'm on my 6th re-read of Frankenstein (this time, using the Frankenstein Friday emails, which are like Dracula Daily) to try and give me a break from thinking about TMAGP (I have been thinking about the S1 finale since I watched it) so I can re-evaluate my theories later, but:

I can't escape it! 😭

[ID: a screenshot of an except from chapter 1 of 'Frankenstein; or, the Modern Prometheus' by Mary Shelley reading, "It may appear very strange, that a disciple of Albertus Magnus should arise in the eighteenth century; but our family was not scientifical," The name 'Albertus Magnus' is highlighted in yellow. ]

Poll for the Frankenstein nerds in my phone, I'm about to finish my 6-week trip to the UK/Switzerland where I've been trying to go to as many Mary Shelley/Frankenstein landmarks as I could possibly find. I went to a lot of places and I want to share it, but what do we think is the best way to format it? Overall I want it to be a guide for anyone who might want to try the same pilgrimage that I did.

Ooh look! A I can make polls now!

I’m not going to be fancy about this like other people but I gotta know:

*me at the ripe age of 25 standing in the kitchen of my 12th grade English teacher, ranting about my reread of Frankenstein because I'm older now and also we both know I was reading 50 Shades of Grey during the lesson*

*also us going back and forth on which greek myth is which featuring Icarus, Sisiphus, and Prometheus*

went down a rabbit hole last night and got on my prometheus brain rot after yapping about it for a solid hour and researching about him all over again, remembering when i wrote him as an oc in his own world with beard!jensen as the fc.
