#hades polyphemus

[reallifetangent]

I wanna honestly appreciate Logan Cunningham for his voice acting.

I still break with Transistor. His voice acting is impeccable. The mood, the commentary, the company, the cheering, the jokes, the corrupted/drunk and the heartbreak of the final scene (every time I hear it I get more pain)

But he also voices the Narrator, Hades, Poseidon, Charon, Achilles and Asterion (the minotaur). I can't tell it's the same voice thanks to the deformation effects and also the moods each character has.

Also he reprises the roles that appear again (Achilles and Asterius haven't appeared (yet?)) but adding Polyphemus and Cronos. I found out after accidentally entering the Credits in game.

It's just. I need that man earning something because each character he delivers is too precious. Transistor has me on a chokehold because of his voice and mood. I was shocked when I found out he also voices Hades. And now I'm even more after finding out Cronos has his voice as well.

Like all my issues have the same voice actor.

Lover? Transistor/Unknown/Mr Nobody/Auden/Boxer/Blue. Father? Hades. Mentor? Achilles. In-law? Charon. Someone narrating my life? Homer. Grandpa? Cronos. Uncle? Poseidon. An animal? Asterius. An enemy? Polyphemus.

He's got all of them, and he serves them good.

So more from my Polyphemus research, there's an opera with him and Galatea, and he even gets a song where he sings his love for her.

This version's my favorite

So now I have the headcanon that Polyphemus has a really good singing voice but he's embarrassed about it, especially when he's singing about his girlfriend.

im mildly upset abt polyphemus not being related to poseidon ¡¡¡ i dont even care abt the odysseys lore in this case its just . imagine how hilarious it would be if they find out right after polyphemus explains his lost eye origins and they just stare at each other like this

pls hear me out on that strange distant sibling who is nice to me sometimes relationship . like like come on she helps him fall asleep and offers to bring him some veggies and he calls her little sheep twice and gives her life advice albeit unwarranted but isnt that what brothers do like guys waWAIT WHERE AEE YOU GOING GUYS COME ONR

I gotta level with you guys —

I am seriously pumped about the full release of Hades II

so I’ve been scribbling around

but the truth is I’m here for Polyphemus 🙂‍↕️

Also bonus doodle of one of my TWO oc’s, Galatea! Trying to figure out the way to incorporate the other nymph elements into her design

GOES FERAL GOES FERAL

Why, you ask?

POLYPHEMUS HAS MATI CHARMS ALL OVER HIM!!!

Mati charms are used in Greece to protect from the evil eye, which is a curse that is cast by greed and envy. It also protects against general harm, being hung above babies’ cribs to keep them safe from curses, since children are more susceptible.

Why does Polyphemus have them?

I think it was given to him by Poseidon! After all, Polyphemus is his son, and he’s already been grievously harmed before. Notice that an actual mati charm is placed directly over where his eye used to be? I don’t think that’s a coincidence.

Poseidon is far from perfect in mythology, but he was always protective of Polyphemus. It makes sense he would want to keep his son away from further harm, especially when he can’t see threats anymore. Keeping Polyphemus safe from the evil eye is just one extra way to make sure he’s okay in the future.

GODDD I LOVE SUPERGIANT CHARACTER DESIGNS. FUCK. THEYRE SO WELL RESEARCHED AND INTENTIONAL AND GODDDD OUUHHHHG

WAIT A FUCKING MINUTE, THAT'S NOT HIS EYE THAT'S AN EYEPATCH! HE'S WEARING AN EYEPATCH! DUDE IS STILL BLIND FROM THAT TIME ODYSEUSS GOUGED OUT ONE OF HIS EYES WHICH IS WHY HE HAS TO RELY ON SMELL!

So I ended up falling for Polyphemus in Hades 2. (He sounds just like Ignarius! I have a type, OK!!)

I did a Greek myth deep dive and found some interesting facts about him, like how he has a crush on a sea nymph named Galatea. And I thought, wouldn't it be a funny idea if they were actually secretly dating.

But THEN I found there's some versions where they DO get together and that just added even more fuel on the shipping fire.

I've already been working on a oneshot fic of these two and it'sa gonna be a spicy one~

coming back from the dead to show you some hades 2 art I've been sitting on for months (things didn't work out the way I wanted) before crawling back into the the dark pit called education

[justmenoworries]

Asterius in Hades: affable sympathetic character, pretty nice guy, adaptational sympathy, making his backstory of being imprisoned and then killed more tragic than a glorious tale about a hero vanquishing a monster Polyphemus in Hades II: Nah everything bad you heard about this guy is onehundred percent accurate

[nitw]

i really love that one part of the polyphemus battle theme where darren korb just goes fucking mad on the flute

[galedekarios]

fighting polyphemus is infinitely more funny if you have the knuckle bones equipped
