I LOVE IT IIT'S MY CHILD

i can't believe you actually made a fic about them

THANATOS IS SO WHIPPED AND AWKWARD AND IT'S EXACTLY HOW I IMAGINED IT

my view of what happened when thanatos finds out (and if hades finds out)

Hades: YOU LET A SOUL ROAM THE WORLD! WHY Thanatos: Um- Hades: AND THE SAME SOUL BECAME A FUCKING GOD Thanatos: ... Hades: AND TRIED TO KILL APOLLO! WAS IT WORTH IT Thanatos thinking about the kiss on the cheek and the hug: yeah... i mean no-

ehehehehehehehehahaahahahaa

They were so fun <3

Hades:

Hades: ...oh my gods.

Thanatos, sweating: Wut?

Hades: you.... *points finger* you have a crush on my favorite nephew.

Thanatos, slightly high-pitched: nO I DON'T!

Hades: YOU DO

Hades: OH MY GODS

Hades, shouting across the hall: PERSEPHONE THANATOS HAS A CRUSH ON APOLLO

Thanatos: I DON'T HAVE A CRUSH ON APOLLO

Persephone, kicking the doors open: OH?!? Well it's about time he's had a crush!

Hades: DON'T LIE THANATOS

Persephone: When did this crush come on?

Thanatos: no comment

Hades: ALL THE WAY BACK IN ROME

Hades: AT THE LATEST

Persephone: *gasp* Thanatos! Why didn't you tell us???

Persephone: I would've wing-women'd you!

Thanatos: Thank you, Lady Persephone, but it's not needed. It's just a phase.

Hades: A ONE-THOUSAND EIGHT-HUNDRED AND EIGHTEEN YEAR LONG PHASE?!

Thanatos: ....yes?

Hades:

Persephone:

Thanatos:

Hades:

Persephone:

Thanatos: ....okay maybe not

Hades: I FUCKING KNEW IT

Persephone: THANATOS I AM YOUR WING-WOMAN NOW I AM CONTACTING ERATO WE ARE GONNA GET YOU A MAN

Thanatos: PERSEPHONE, NO

Persephone & Hades: PERSEPHONE, YES

i need daniel to be overcompensating for his insecurities so bad. 100 times more cocky and rude and aggressive and insensitive than he was as a human, falling back into old dangerous habits and vices, not just because now he has new energy and power and wealth to flaunt but because it's ALL he has, and he needs to cling onto it. play it up and revel in it so no one sees that underneath, he feels like a botched fledgling in the body of a sick, faded old man who maybe has no real idea why he was even made. that armand might think he failed in making him. that his maker didn't even really want him.

You know, I feel like we're not talking enough about the fact that Alastor has in his room a full reproduction (?) of a swamp-forest that's highly likely very similar to the one where he was killed. Talk about being morbid.

Edit: someone pointed out in the comments that the swamp-forest is called bayou. It's a kind of ecosystem in Louisiana.

Yo what’s up content smp/doctor4t enjoyers

How we feelin’ after Rat’s new video?

probably a hot take but i have this wild theory that the person guiding Deathbed Companions is Marika (or at least, offering them help and shelter)

same front pattern on their dress + the only bedchamber seen in-game is Marika's + the Marika statue in Messmer's boss room is veiled in a baldachin.

i've discussed my theory that Marika's betrayal of Maliketh is that she's been on the side of TWLiD all this time and is trying to help Godwyn gain a second life here (going against the very foundation of her Order for her son), idk it just lines up so many things in the game to me.

there's also Capital Perfumers like Tricia being said to be akin to the origin of Deathbed Companion. Perfumers being a group that could only have be trained by Marika and no other (they originated from the Capital, they are originally blessed healers, they specifically use aromantics made from flowers and are always looking for new flower fields, exactly like the setting of Shaman village).

interesting enough i only knew about the front dress pattern & the bedchamber at first, it's only today i look up what a baldachin looks like & holy hell. literally fell to my knees.

Marika being the Queen of Life (in JP dialogue of Melina, her age is called 輝ける生命の時代 - Age of Glistening Life) and having so many symbolism tying her to Deathbed companions - those who embrace the dead and birth them a new glorious life. i am seeing the pattern alright.

(sth sth the lower arc of the Elden Ring is where its bounty pools as per Rune Arc item description, and in the final cutscene of the game we can see the lower arc is literally in the position of Marika's womb and it's where Godwyn's mending rune is returned to)

is it to early to say that gem's attitude with her snail (ready to accept it full hearted, treating it like family and fawning over it) even with it being intent on hurting and killing her says a lot about her relationships with people in the life series? how it makes sense that she lets dangerous things get close enough and endears herself to them until she forgets that they may cause her harm? that she prefers things this way?
