You think Cerberus & Frinos would get along?

I don't think anyone can resist Frinos' effortless charm

Idia: What happened to your hand?

Azul: Did you burn it by accident- No, wait. I see bites.

MC: ...

MC: It shouldn't be possible, but I couldn't think of any reason.

Ursula: Well, well, I always knew you land-dwellers were dull, but you—oh, you’re a special kind of foolish, aren’t you, dear?

MC: *tried to pet Flotsam and Jetsam*

MC: Yes, ma'am. I'm special. :)

Hades: Look at this—brand new hairdo! So, whaddaya say? Wanna reach out and give it a little tap?

MC: Don't mind if I do- Ouch!

Hades: Gullible! Oh, that’s cute. Friendly doesn’t mean trustworthy, got it? Next time, maybe try being a little less… naive.

MC: ...Seriously?

Idia and Azul: ...

Idia: I think we should install a surveillance camera in your room coz that's not normal.

Azul: I agree.

MC: Come on, you guys. I'm fine-

Idia and Azul: No, you're not!

MC: ...

MC: Geez, chill.

A peaceful morning

proffers this to the doomwitch nation in the shadows as if throwing a message in a bottle into the sea

very interesting going back to hades 1 after playing a significant amount of hades 2. because the first game is about repairing relationships and not exactly fixing past mistakes but making up for them as well as lost time. whereas the second game is less about making up for the past but about avenging the past. it's interesting too how neither zagreus nor melinoë remember the past they're fighting for, but they've both been significantly impacted by it. zagreus was raised by a bitter father who was cruel to him because of persephone running away whereas melinoë was raised to be a soldier, fighting for a family that she never even met and that never got the chance to know her. they parallel and foil each other in this really interesting way, where zagreus is fighting for himself and melinoë is fighting for everyone but herself.

Hi! I’m BlackBurrie (Apollo) and I’m a second-generation Korean American artist. I’m trying new things with my art and trying to survive college and beyond. My biggest goal is to fully develop my magical girl series called Project MAGICK. I love vivid colors, anything magical, and my friends.

Nice to meet you, BlackBurrie! They have shared some of their art pieces below for you all.

has anyone gotten the idea that odysseus' storyline in hades 2 is a depiction/exploration of trauma over his SA and how he's blaming himself for things that were out of his control? because that's the impression i'm getting from what i've seen. he talks about "goddesses" as his "greatest weakness" and that "he's not one to say no to them"...

when mel invites him to the bath, he brings up mortals having different standards for intimacy than gods and how it usually has a more romantic/sexual connotation. she then asks if he's uncomfortable and he has a startled reaction and brings up circe and calypso again (but never actually by name)

(this isn't ship/romance bait btw. odysseus knew mel as a kid and they're stated in-game to have a sibling/uncle-niece relationship)

also he grew apart from penelope after his return, but the game makes a point of showing that his love for penelope and telemachus is what drove him on at all so that element of his character isn't brought into question

I finally got Hades for my birthday

[harunayuuka2060]

Jafar: *staring at Kalim*

Kalim: ???

Jafar: He reminds me... far too much of someone. And it fills me with a simmering rage.

MC: Yeah, I get you. He's too nice. But really nice.

Jafar: Hmph. If that's the case, then I’m afraid he falls far short of being compared to me.

MC: Oh, no. Not him.

MC: *gestures to Jamil* Him.

Jamil: *smiles* Hello, sir. My name's Jamil Viper.

Jafar: ‘Jamil Viper’... Ah, what a fascinating name. I've only just met you, and already I can see you're quite the clever one.

MC: Uncle, can I go now? And I also want to take Iago with me.

Jafar: *raises an eyebrow* Where are you going?

MC: I still need to assist the other Great Seven.

Jafar: Very well. You are dismissed.

Kalim: See you later, MC!

Jamil: Don't be late for the evening party.

MC: Haha, okay!

Hades: *looks bored*

Hades: So... This is it?

MC: Why? What's wrong?

Hades: No offense, kid, but when you told me I'd enjoy my time here, I was expecting a little more excitement. Instead, it’s just like the Underworld—full of depressed, socially awkward kids. How charming.

MC: ...

MC: Have you met Idia already?

Hades: You mean the one skulking in the corner? *points at him*

MC: Idia!

Idia: Eek! Wh-Wh-What?

MC: *facepalm* It's fine. I have expected this.

MC: Ortho, are you there?

Ortho: *shows up* Yup!

MC: Can you accompany the Lord of the Underworld?

Ortho: Of course!

Hades: Haha, you're so cheery. I like that.

Professor Trein: You should take a break first. *hands them a cup of hot cocoa*

MC: Thanks, professor!

Iago: Hey! You seem to be forgetting something here—I haven't been fed once since you yanked me away from Jafar! What am I, invisible?

MC: Aren't you on a diet?

Iago: *aggressively pecks their head*

MC: Ouch!

Iago: It's my cheat day!

Professor Trein: *laughs*

Unstoppable force (Nemesis's uncanny ability to say something in the worst way possible) vs. immovable object (Melinoe's autism)

[toushindai]

so in Hades (Supergiant Games) canon, broadly speaking, the Olympians speak with a British accent and chthonic gods speak with an American accent. In Hades II (mild spoilers), "British" has been expanded to include "rather Irish" and "fairly Scottish."

So I have a question.

Where is my chthonic god with an aggressively Southern drawl?
