#is she scared of hades? no

[my-name-is-apollo]

I find it funny that for 2+ years Hades game fans speculated why Apollo wasn't in the game and the most popular theory was that he didn't want any drama with Achilles (some even saying that he'd be scared of Achilles) but turns out that he just. didn't give a fuck about Hades' family.

So I helped out @descendantofthesparrow when she asked for emergency commissions and stuff and I asked for a couple more sketches of her version of Hades - basically this guy.

So here he is!

Still definitely how I envision Haley's dad in her sequel. :)

this entire convo to me is really interesting!

i wonder if this is partly just a way for the devs to tell us that we shan’t yet know all the romance routes, or if it’s a way to show yet again that melinoë continuously hates defining anything real about herself outside of “the mission”, due to a lack of being born into a weapon, and never having the will to choose anything at all really.

what about the mortals? ah who cares, but again, you have many mortal friends(+more) that you refuse to define your positions with because they’re the good ones

but what about the actual valid arguments all of your enemies have made so far? doesn’t matter, it’s either lies or attempts at misguiding you from “the mission”

but what about the fact that you and your group might be wrong? if that’s the case, the part of you that’s wrong can be remolded into something better, including core parts of yourself, so why go through the heartbreak of cutting off branches attached to a rotten tree?

why should gods have to choose, but why does melinoë choose to herself who’s bad and who’s good? what’s black and what’s white? who’s wrong or right? are there not grey areas here? certainly some who fall in line with chronos might actually have a good reason as to why, and mel seems to be fearing this truth.

what would happen if she ever made choices or ever defined anything in her life? all romantic interest is as it is who cares, nobody needs to care just vibe why be serious when there’s “the mission”, hecate is just her mentor-mom-teacher-guardian, nothing weird there that will never anything addressed no way siree! none of her relationships need to be defined because what if she views odysseus more as a brother than zagreus, hecate more as a mom than persephone? what then? what then??

a walking contradiction would have an easier time than her good lord

*kicks dirt* does anyone want to hear about the similarities that can be drawn between real life human world goddess melinoë and jrwi pd william wisp? no? okay....

Bianca and Nico being stillborns, because no matter how badly Hades wanted to actually be there for their birth, he just couldn't make it, so instead, the second they are born their souls get picked up by Thanatos, so Hades can see them.

It's only for a minute at most, where Maria cradles her children to her chest, and they don't cry or breathe, they are cold, and their hearts don't beat.

And then, just as quickly, their souls are returned to the world of the living, and they give their first cry of life.

Afterwards, when Maria is introducing her children to their father directly for the first time, and giving Hades the scolding of his inmortal life simultaneously, for scaring her like that, Hades doesn't really have anything to say on his defense, except that he just couldn't wait to meet his children.

And well, Nico takes after his father, Hazel learns that better than ever before, when her own child is a stillborn, and Nico's only defense is that he was way too excited to meet his little nephew, he just couldn't wait.

Hazel swears that if she didn't love her brother so much, she would kill him herself, just for scaring her like that.

"I'm going to play Hades because I enjoy ancient mythology, an interest that was sparked by my access to stories from Greek mythology" she said

"Oh wow two blessings in one room" she said

"How cool, Artemis and Aphrodite, I hope this means that I get to see some insight into their relationship with each other in this world" she said

"Surely this will not force me to make a decision between two goddesses in a fashion reminiscent of the inciting incident to the trojan war" SHE SAID

One thing I always take into account about the debate over Nico being isolated/Underworld kids getting discriminated against: Hades is not the only Underworld god with a cabin at CHB. Hecate has one, too. She's the goddess of night, witchcraft, and ghosts. Lou Ellen never appears to be treated the way Nico was, even though Hecate and Alabaster sided with the Titans and Nico and Hades didn't. I'm not sure if that's intentional or just inconsistent writing. She's also one of Will's best friends, which makes it especially weird that so much of TSATS revolved around Will being uncomfortable with the Underworld and Nico's powers, since Nico isn't the only Underworld kid Will is close to.

kjadjkadaskdhaakjn and here I thought TSATS couldn't get more plot holes... *smh* 😔😔😔

Anw you're right. I just feel like Hades got the worse deal of the treatment because he represents/ is associated with the Underworld, you know? And Nico, as a result, falls to it too. I mean. If there's a child of Persephone, people would most likely chill with them despite them embracing their mother's queen of the underworld side. 🤔🤔

Jeez no wonder the man's bitter. Should have left Olympus to fall under Kronos' hands...

Poor guy, he's just doing his job. 😔

Pytix, who was distracted: I'm sorry- what were you saying? Poseidon: Perfect. *** Zeus: I like your top, Poseidon! Pytix, no fucks to give: I have a name, you know. Hera: *sighs* Why. Why are you like this. *** Pytix: *sucking on a popsicle* Asmodeus: Pfft, you practicing for when Poseidon gets here? Pytix: *takes a huge ass bite out of the popsicle* Akaboshi & Alvah: Nice. Adamas: *Concern* Poseidon: *Turn on* *** Poseidon, trying to be romantic: You look good in that corset. Poseidon: You know where else I'd look good? Pytix, zero hesitation: Your bed. Poseidon, at the same time: By your side- wait, what? *** *After Poseidon is excepcional mean with Adamas and Zeus* Adamas: Is there a cactus where your heart should be? Zeus: What’s up your ass this morning! Pytix: *walks in* ...Hey. Hades: Hmm… nevermind. Poseidon: WAIT NO!

i want to write something about mel not seeing the way to hades until late into tartarus and then lowkey (highkey) freaking out because she's used to a pattern and she's used to seeing hades in the first couple of rooms but now she doesnt see him and what if chronos did something to him and he's not there at all to help her anymore? what if he got punished for helping her and it's all her fault-

but then she finds him but the damage is already done.

Desperately need more Hades 2 content, like idk what’s happening, where is anyone we know, and who shall we meet??

Do we at LEAST, get to give daddy Hades a hug??

Who’ll appear!?

[jamessunderlandgf]

How does Celeste feel about the Olympians?

she is so extremely indifferent towards most of them. she really doesn’t even have moments where she’s like “wow these people are terrible” she genuinely just does not care. it doesn’t matter what she thinks— she has other, more personal things to worry abt that are going on around her. what the gods are up to is not her problem and she isn’t gonna make it her problem.

except hermes. she fucks with hermes— he’s just a silly goofy guy but she also recognizes that he’s playing the field and does what he has to do as the messenger. the rest she really couldn’t care less about. ⭐️

Daphne's Handwaved Trauma

Ok so I'll be the first to admit I don't like Daphne, but I absolutely HATED this panel.

Why does she look so happy?? Daphne turning into a tree in LO was (at least to me) a tribute to all the women in Greek mythology. The women who couldn't trust the ground beneath them, a flower or even gold coins! It was preferable to be a TREE rather then be r*ped. Daphne's smile just ruins all the emotional weight the panel could've happened.

Concept designs for Reese Hawkins (formerly Heidi Tombs) in an alternate universe on my friends, @dani-luminae , fic, Stars On Earth, that we talk about at times.

The adopted daughter of Jim Hawkins and adopted younger sister of Lia, Reese doesn't like discussing her biological father, Hades, since he never really bothered to parent her, only giving her attention if it was to remind her how much of a failure she was being to him...though she guesses she must acknowledge his lack of attention is why she ended up in a family that does care about her, since she only really knew Jim and Lia from running into them in the market a-lot as Reese got curious about Jim's inventions if he had them on him, but then one day, Jim saw Reese walking around with a broken leg gained from trying to retrieve something from a high place after Mad Maddy threw it up there, and after learning her father didn't even care then, he ultimately decided enough was enough and Reese didn't return home that day, going to Jim's and Lia's instead and whatever Jim did to scare Hades ensured Reese and Hades never had an encounter that point onwards. Loyal to her sister and an inventor like her father, Reese longs to leave the Isle one day like her family and see space...but much to disagreements with the two sister's father, also shares her sister's hopes in seeing the world beyond the Isle at least once, but despite it seeming hopeless after six months of nothing since the king's coronation and the Isle getting worser, Lia and Reese are surprised to find one day on the Isle, the king himself - and Lia and Reese decide to try and keep him safe. This decision sets off an adventure that will change their lives.

personally, i think hazel wasn't "cursed" because marie summoned pluto and there was a price for it, but that the cursed gemstones were just a result of her stress

like, we saw percy detonate a volcano and nico turn a person into a ghost when they were both at the height of pressure

now, imagine a 13yo dealing with daily bullying, having only one friend, racism, an abusive mother (plus the context of living during a war)?

i'm sure that all these traumatizing and stressful situations were the catalysts for her lack of control and her "curse"
