i find it hard to explain what kanan's death makes me feel, but:

it's just. imagine loving someone so much that you hold back death for them. imagine loving someone so much that you push them away in your final moments. imagine loving someone so much that a supernatural power recognises it and gives you back your sight so you can see your love one last time. imagine loving someone so much that your own death is inevitable and it is because of this inevitability that you can look upon your love once again, because the universe knows that there's no other choice you'd make and so it can grant you this final mercy.

i guess what i'm trying to say is:

imagine loving someone so much that the universe itself recognises your love.

One really interesting thing about sisyphus's character in ultrakill is how he was his own downfall in the end. Yeah his whole philosophy was to embrace futility and learn to love the struggle but like. He didn't have to fight v1. He did not have to pick a fight with the guy that killed minos and beat the shit out of gabriel twice and slaughtered their way through p-2. He could have just gone back to what he was doing before: waging war against heaven. And it could actually work this time, since heaven just lost all of its leadership to one of its own strongest warriors. But no. Instead, he chose to get railcoined and parried 1000 times and die. He turned down a chance at victory with no hesitation, because he was too eager to lose. But he did die happy, I guess

Do yall think about the fact that we have two kings in ISAT? we have King Sisyphus, whomst dropped the king part but keeps the hubris of thinking "this time, surely I can do it this time." And then King Midas, who dropped his name and kept the King, but still freezes all that he holds dear and regrets how it harmed that which he valued in the end.

Ranking My Top Favorite Companion Dialogue Lines

Warning: Major Hades spoilers.

Disclaimer: As of now, I’ve only tried the Companions for Sisyphus, Meg, and Than. I hope to get to Dusa, Skully, and Achilles/Patroclus soon. :)

10. "Meg!!" / "Am I interrupting something?" / "Megaera, again?"

I'm a sucker for anything with this trio. I don't feel this needs any further explanation.

9. "Meg!!" / "You are embarrassing me, Zag!" / "You're surely needed elsewhere, Megaera!"

There's so much to love here. Zag's shouting for Meg. Meg's embarrassed. Hades is like "wHAT are you doing here??" Ultimate chaos.

8. "Time to die!"

I love how Than's slightly annoyed with Meg, kind to Tisiphone, then just brutal with Alecto. "Time to die!" He sounds so excited.

7. "Don't make me do this, Zag."

To Tisiphone, because he's a good guy. Thank you, Than. I love you.

6. "Really, Zagreus?"

He is not pleased with us for calling on him during our big boss battle. Especially because, uh... that's his boss too. He sounds so done with us. I love it.

5. "King Theseus!" / "Why is Death on his side?!"

Because we're special to each other, Theseus. That's why.

4. Death!

Than and his one-word responses. I think it's the heat of Asphodel that keeps him from saying anything further.

3. Hydra!

I'm sorry. I still think this is funny. Yeah, Than. That is indeed a hydra.

2. "Bouldy!" / "Bouldy!"

I just love call-and-response dialogue in Hades. It's also said with such cheeriness.

1. "Don't you touch him!"

Look. Look. Hearing her say this is what made me explore all the rest of the Companion dialogue. This is everything I have ever wanted. Everything I have ever needed. The way she says it is so good.

In conclusion: I love these characters so much.

ya know at first i thought your episode 18 posts were a little harsh but then i really thought about it and yeah. i actually agree with you on pretty much all of it. in my opinion one of the most frustrating parts of d20 is watching the intrepid heroes fail to put all the pieces together, and seeing that manifest as a slaughter fest against the rat grinders is disappointing. don’t get me wrong, i understand that we as the audience have a birds eye view and an easier time threading the story together. but still, kinda sucks :/

lumping all of these together because the rushed feeling of the season is definitely there and contributed to how the final conflict is just resolved via battle and not alternative means... I think there were several factors at play here. I'm still holding out hope for the final final episode but:

the way they filmed all of FHJY and its APs together in a very short timespan. FHSY is so developed and interesting plotwise and I feel that HAS to be because they got a whole week in between episodes/streams to sit and think about the information they received. (on that note I feel when APs are filmed directly after the episodes instead of in retrospective, there's very little to say or reflect on since you Just got out of the session and everything you have to say was likely already said during the play session.) the crunch filming + episode limit combo is just not good for health or coming to a satisfying conclusion of all narrative threads

dnd combat is just so inherently fucked as a conflict resolution tool and it's NOT built for anything aside from killing things. we see this firsthand how the rat grinders get reduced to their kits and not their characters (take oisin out first, cut off his head so he can't be revived) both by the cast and the fandom... which leads to some pretty upsetting conflict when you have people who really enjoy these characters as, well, characters and not targets with hit points!

we have GOTTA get one season that doesn't end directly with a final battle. please. we've gotta have one that does a big reveal, an episode to sit with that reveal, a final battle, and then a whole other roleplay episode after that battle to finish off the season. we cannot be doing 15 minute epilogues directly after coming off 4 hrs of dnd combat that is how we get neverafter and whatever the acoc finale was (adding FHJY finale to the list? I'm still holding out for the last episode to give us anything at all. bad kids being under influence of rage all battle reveal? please?)
