Just thinking about postwar!Levi and him watching a film in a movie theater for the first time. It’s well after The Rumbling, and everyone was talking about the new “moving pictures” showing up in these newly built movie theatres. Levi had never been one to attend theatre productions or music concerts before, but he was curious to see what the fuss was all about, so he goes one night with Onyakopon and Yelena.

And what he sees is nothing short of spectacular to him.

People in fantastical costumes traveling beyond this world and meeting new creatures Levi had never thought of in his wildest dreams. After that first time, he started going every weekend with Onyakopon, eager to view new stories and places long gone, forgotten, or never created.

But one afternoon, he sits in the theater and watches as the screen fills with soldiers attacking innocent, unarmed people. A woman holds a child with tears in her eyes, but the soldiers march forward. There’s no sound, but Levi can hear every pop of the guns, every cry of the women and children. He stands up and leaves.

Onyakopon finds him sitting in the lobby, his head in his hands.

“You ok, Levi?” He asks.

Levi looks up, sweat on his brow. “Yeah…it was just a little too realistic.”

mistria's very own flight team! long ago, meli's mysterious grandfather created the blueprints for the very first biplane before he disappeared. they since were passed down from meli's father to her. ryis and march are determined to bring grandfather's ingenious vision to life (with some optimization tweaks!)

henrietta thinks this is her time to shine as the first chicken to reach the clouds!

not pictured, but off-screen; hayden and olric, the muscle and hype team!

I really cannot express how much I love what Hades 2 is doing with Dionysus.

There are so few neutral parties in this game, and he's like the anti-Eris. He wants his family to stop fighting. He wants to talk things out peacefully until "normal" can return. He knows that won't happen, so why worry at all? Why not throw a giant party until the fighting stops?

All the talk about not letting Zeus or Athena find out because he knows he wouldn't be able to convince them and they might only retaliate... the fact that he, being a mortal once, has a different perspective on figures like Prometheus... Man

Every time I see more of his dialogue, it becomes more and more obvious that he is Not Okay, and his portrait emphasizes that so damn well. The fact he's in a companion chamber instead of a random encounter makes me soooo excited to see the rest of his arc.

Plus, I LOVE how sgg is leaning into his madness aspect when that's also a part of Melinoe's mythology. Oughshglshggh she's going to learn so much from him I just know it

one of my favorite hades game details is that zagreus is posited as the good of blood/life by achilles, stating it as the reason for thanatos's intertwinement with him. life and death can never be separated after all.

but let's go one step further, what do you get when you combine the two concepts? a being that is simultaneously alive and dead? ghosts! and here we get to the juicy part

melinoë, the goddess of ghosts, only emerged once life and death were in union. when life learned to persevere through death.
