where are characters from the first Hades game now, and some other character-centric theories:

inspired by this post by @thebuttsmcgee

so from the technical test gameplay stream we learned that Chronos straight up took over the underworld and kidnapped not only Hades, but Zagreus and Persephone too. out of the underworlders from the first game, Charon is still doing his thing in secret, Skelly returns in a new coat, the Wretched Broker is back too, and Hypnos is the only other guy from the House who's hiding at Hecate's hub, but he's also fast asleep...

personally, i think Hypnos might be cursed or something like that. Chronos using Hypnos's schtick against him? lose time by sleeping through it all? or maybe he just wakes up a bit later. hell, maybe he's always asleep during the test but not the final game because he would've dropped a spoiler or something.

so what about the rest?

assuming they're not all imprisoned somehow,

-Nyx and Thanatos: they could've fled to Chaos. a narrator's note at the Crossroads says that it houses 'those still loyal to lord Hades', but doesn't necessarily say 'all of them'. Nyx visits Chaos in the first game once their relationship is mended, and like the post i linked said, Than would've probably tried to protect the family and the House for as long as he could. but in the face of no other option, i think Chaos would be a viable place to flee to for the two of them, out of Chronos's reach similarly to the Crossroads. Than also visits the surface though, so maybe he'll show up at the Crossroads at some point? maybe in a plot point, trying to help Mel free Zag and the fam? both of them are important enough to warrant an appearance.

-the Furies: my idea is that all three of them were forced to serve Chronos. they're a very important part of security and upkeep down there, i think he would've wanted the realm's employees on his side. i don't however think they're going to be the bossfight between Asphodel and Tartarus. they, or Meg alone, should have some presence however.

-Sisiphus: it would be kinda cute if the furies went behind Chronos's back and helped to tuck Sisiphus away somewhere safe, given that he is loyal to Zag/the family and maybe that'd mean they were ordered to torture him again. depends on what Chronos's rule over the underworld looks like for the different shades there, but Melinoë speaks to the few that hang around at Crossroads in an almost comforting manner, so i imagine Chronos is trying to rule by fear and get shades on his side that way. Bouldy's gonna be sad, but fine. i hope. but at least a mention would be nice.

-Achilles and Patroclus (and Theseus&Asterius): ...they're probably separated again, aren't they... brainstorming now, i like (pain and) the idea that they're both in Elysium, just not together. because i think Elysium would've risen up as an army of sorts trying to oppose Chronos, given it's all warriors and heroes. separated by war. Nemesis having Stygius with her makes me believe Achilles could be wielding Varatha. additionally, Theseus being forced to step up and put his vanity aside, delicious idea i think. also, Mel arriving to this supposed paradise only to find it in a desolate state. all of them, i think, should be at the very least mentioned too.

-Orpheus and Euridice: they could be both hiding or imprisoned or forced to serve, but. what if this time it's Euridice who's looking for Orpheus. he's at the house and at Chronos's whim, while she makes it to the Crossroads and asks Mel for help. it'd be a shame if they were never heard from again.

-Cerberus: probably locked up with the fam :( orrr he's running wild all around the realm and Chronos is literally incapable of taming him. that would've been fun. Cerberus bossfight tho... nah. no way he wouldn't see something familiar in Mel. but it could be fun too if done right. he definitely has to reappear.

-Dusa: wild theory time but she's hiding in the rafters, spying on Chronos. :D. if the situation is much more dire, she's either also forced to serve, or even banished into Asphodel to be with the other gorgon heads. either way i think she'll pop up again in some capacity.

-House Contractor, Head Chef, Resource Director: probably unwillingly continuing their jobs under Chronos's rule. although the chef might've lost his job, depends if Chronos like, eats normal food. well mostly onions and fish but still. alternatively, the chef will also show up at Crossroads like the Wretched Broker does.

-THE GOOD SHADE from Elysium: okay war hero good shade arc when? i'm sorry, but i love them.

some other ideas, theories and wishes:

-the obvious one is Hera, like many others i also hope she will appear as a major boon giver.

-i have a feeling, however, that Hermes might not. it seems a bit that Artemis and Selene are filling up his role as the little bit specific boon giver, but maybe i'm wrong. Artemis provides crit boons just like in the first game and Selene has a bit more of a Chaos vibe to her. let's see.

-i do think, or would like it if, Chaos shows up, but not as a boon giver. but i believe they would definitely have something to say about Chronos's actions.

-back to Hermes though... there's that sealed staircase that leads upwards from the Crossroads. people have already been theorizing this, but there might seriously be a section of the game taking place on Olympus, or at the very least somewhere under it. still, i don't think Hermes would be a boon giver either if he does appear. i would however like to see him interact with Charon.

-the Fates will, i think, remain obscure, even if Moros has more of a connection to them. maybe they'll be mentioned and explored a bit more, but i wouldn't count on them appearing by themselves.

-i would however like to see at least one more of Nyx's kids. originally, i also hoped Erebus himself ever shows up personified, but i like what they've done with it as a place.

Eris is i'd say the biggest contender, given that she's namedropped in the first game through a weapon aspect and a purchasable item. maybe she's even boss material (again, if Nemesis has the sword, Eris may wield the rail).

-same thinking can be applied to Ariadne (she lives with Dionysus on Olympus, does she not?), Talos (giant robot made by Hephaestus, how cool is that), and Lamia (snake lady with personal history with Zeus and Hera, would even make for a cool boss too i think, although i always viewed her as a more melancholic figure. but i'm just spitballing here). there are also Atlas, Prometheus and other names on Charon's many items, those are less likely to make an appearance imo.

-Talos also obviously has a weapon aspect in the first one, and then there's Chiron. in myth, he is the son of Chronos. the juiciness of that situation, given he has a relationship with Achilles and Patty as well... perhaps he'll be Elysium's miniboss in the spirit of Asterius? or straight up a main boss? or actually a friendly? i really hope they did something with him, the potential is so very there.

-i think Daedalus will remain present just in name and spirit.

-now that i'm on the weapons though, for all we know there might not be such a thing as weapon aspects (at least not tied to specific figures) in Hades 2, but if there are, including hidden aspects, i'd like to see nods to more of other world mythologies/histories/cultures, like Egyptian, Japanese, pre-columbian American or Slavic.

-this brings me to keepsakes and companion plushies, if they're in the game at all and if so, who gives them out.

keepsake-wise, beside the olympians, Hecate is obvious, as well as Odysseus, and Nemesis and Moros are too. Arachne and Skelly also. Charon seems likely, so does Dora. maybe Hypnos if/when he wakes up. Selene, probably.

i'd say, if companions are a thing, it's also up to Nemesis and Moros, Odysseus, maybe Hecate, likely Arachne, and if there's 6 of them like last time, the final one will be from either Dora or someone we haven't seen yet. or Hecate doesn't give one (she's pretty op for a summon) but Skelly does.

-this also ties into romance! it's been deduced a long time ago, right when the trailer came out, that Nemesis and Moros are very likely romanceable. i also see the appeal and potential of romancing Dora, and from the technical test, i like Melinoë's friendship with Artemis. Hypnos's presence at the Crossroads is interesting from this point too, but i wouldn't guess he'll be romanceable if/when he wakes up.

there are more details to speculate about, especially in gameplay and resources (boss room rewards! the equivalent of nectar/ambrosia to give characters!) but i wanted to keep this mainly about the npcs.

honestly curious what other people are saying!

hiya friend! I was wondering if u think the sam & max game on the switch would be a good starting point for getting into the series? I kinda started really getting into for real cuz of all the cool stuff you'd reblog and cuz YouTube has been recommending me the animated series lol. Also hope ur day been okay!

omg hi! hope ur doing well too. the new sam & max on switch would be a good place to pick it up. telltales take on sam & max was my first interaction with the franchise nearly 10 yrs ago lmao and personally i think its their best work (especially season 3 which im SO excited to see remastered skfkksmfkksk). the switch port doesnt run quite as well as the PC version but from what i hear it still plays great. the new graphics and models r gorgeous and i love the new music. the remaster adds so many new little details that make the game so much more enjoyable. i cant reccomend the sam & max games enough. now would be the best time to play it since the season 2 remaster should be out by the end of this year. (also idk if youd care but limited run is about to start selling physical switch and PC copies of the games if youd be interested in picking that up 🤷‍♀️)

though if u have a PC that can run it id reccomend getting it on there since the remaster also includes the original 2007 release of save the world as free dlc n i dont think the switch port does(also the game would look better sksksksk). the remaster is the definitive version to play imo, but it changed things that some ppl may or may not prefer in the original and its an experience on its own so i enjoy playing both versions lmao. but if u just want it on switch, u can find physical discs of the original on ebay for like 10 bucks (or you can play the shitty wii ports that run at 2 fps and where models disappear entirely).

sam & max also has another game that came out in 1993 that was able to play on my old piece of shit laptop. its super hard without a walkthrough but its still rlly enjoyable and u can get it on steam for 5 bucks. i also rlly reccomend the comics. theyre hilarious and beautifully drawn and u can find them all online. b ya i hope i helped lmao 💀 feel free to message me if u ever wanna talk ab the games or anything in general rlly

[pesky-plumbers]

I completely forgot about it but did you ever see the trailer for the sly cooper movie? They abandoned it sadly but I lost my shit when it first came out. (Also hope ur day has been good!)

my day was good lol, and ya i saw the sly trailer years ago when it first came out. i wasn’t into sly back then but i was excited for the movie to cum out and wanted to see it, and i was disappointing when it was confirmed it wouldn’t be coming out (thanks a lot ratchet and clank 2016 you bastard)

but don’t worry, a sly cooper tv show will be coming out either 2019 or 2020, and the ppl who picked it up after rainmaker fucked off said that there may still be a movie after the tv series airs

[pesky-plumbers]

What was your favorite toy when you were a child?

yo uhhh my favorite kind of toy has always been plush toys. im an adult and i still have so many stuffed animals. theyre so comforting and cute. my favorite ones as a kid were probably all of my mario ones. me, my sister and my cousin would make youtube videos with them (in the style of super mario logan for example) unfortunately i deleted my old channel and i lost all of the vids after my laptop died so i cant show anyone the awful shit i used to make with them lmao they were so bad and funny honestly i was a fucking weirdo kid man

If you could travel anywhere where would you go?

lots of places man. japan would probably be my #1 choice tho, like theres so much id do if i were to go there. like asian food is my fave and i wanna have authentic ass food, and i rlly wanna walk through the aokigahara forest cos i hear that ppl who go there feel a weird presence i want to experience, but id be so scared waling thru it honestly im such a scaredy baby and if i saw a dead body id never leave my house again tbh

If you were ruler of the world what would be your first course of action?

have the worlds previous cruel leaders publicly executed and then throw all of their money into the streets of the commonfolk

3: What movie/game/etc. helps you calm down?

uuuhhhh shit idk, most games i play help in calming down, like platformers and shooters and stuff, cos theyre rlly cute and fun and good at helping me let out my anger, and any movie/show thats rlly colorful and funny helps me cheer up and stuff. idk im just a big kid lol

6: What kind of music would you listen to if you could only choose one?

UUGGHHHH this question kills me fuck, i love music so much and idk if i could possibly choose 1 single genre. but if i had to choose one out of all the other shit i listen to. i love pop and synth but id have to pick electro house (stuff like daft punk, justice, agrume, etc)

18: What animal would you keep as a pet, if you could?

a pig. also maybe a fox and a ferret, but esp a pig cos like they get HUGE and can EAT PEOPLE alksjdlkasjd like i know some ppl have pigs as pets and there are pigs that stay small but sometimes ppl get pigs they think are teacup but end up growing huge so idk,,,i would totally keep a pig but wild animals are monsters jalsklajsdkasd

24: What is your favorite thing to learn about?

i like documentaries about serial killers and crimes and shit, or videos about horrible ways people have died in amusement parks. sounds fucked up but i like watching shit like that. im not a true crime fag or anything tho klAJDSLKASJD i just think its interesting. i also like learning shit ab conspiracy theories and aliens. im into shane dawson’s conspiracy videos. i also like learning about media trivia, like for cartoons and video games since those are the things im interested in getting into one day.

[thebuttsmcgee]

Local tumblr user TheButtsMcgee found dead. Cause of death was extreme embarrassment.

[pesky-plumbers]

For the ask game, Spongebob or Gravity falls? Curious to know ur thoughts! ( also hope ur day was good!)

ok wow why r u literally doing this to me KFJKGJSJJE wow okay ummm spongebob is literally a cultural icon and is so unique and there will never be another show like it and it's the epitome of my humor, but gravity falls is also that, like what other kids show had like irl ciphers and treasure hunts for ppl to solve outside the show? and gf is also just so fucking funny, and both shows have such gr8 characters i love so much. there's the fact that spongebob has more episodes plus 2 movies and a shit ton of video games (which i love btw) and gravity Falls only has 2 seasons, some shorts, 1 video game(which i haven't played yet and it's just a reskinned 2d rayman game apparently) and some books expanding on the story (which are amazing), so spongebob has more content while i feel like gravity falls could have gone on for another season or something cos I feel like there was a lot of missed opportunities with Ford since we literally only got to know him for 8/40 ish episodes and he had a lot more potential IMO. but that also means that GF ended while it was still good and had no bad eps while we all know what happened to spongebob lmao like literally only 1/4 of spongebob is watchable

so both shows are funny and extremely quotable, incredibly unique and unlikely to be repeated, have good ass characters, and when their episodes were good they were REALLY good. but since spongebob's good to bad episode is very low compared to GF, and gravity falls also has content that can be enjoyed outside the show while also expanding on the lore, ill have to go with gf as being my fave lol (but the spongebob games are fun as shit, like even the bad ones are kinda fun)

(And i just slept all day lol I'm v depressed)

[pesky-plumbers]

Yo how do u feel about the Sly Cooper games so far? I loved them to death as a kid to the point where I had a cane and kinda did dumb shit with it like hittin church stuff lmao. Also hope your day has been good!

ive played a little bit of sly cooper before cos my cousins left their old ps2 at my mammaws house and i got to play a little bit, but never played past the first stage bcos i didn't like it lol (i was like 12 or something and was more into ratchet and clank) and i played the demo for the newest one on ps3 a while ago, but this is my first time really playing through them all. so far im really enjoying myself with the first sly. im almost thru with the first world and im at the part where i have to shoot crabs and it's so annoying lmao. also snmsmmcmd i wish i had been the kind of kid to fuck up churches lmao

and my day has been pretty good. i kinda had a stressful time driving bcos im still trying to get my license (im,,rlly late at getting it lol im almost 19) and ive been getting some night driving in, and tonight I was driving on a 2 lane road in pitch black darkness and a fucking fire truck was behind me and I didn't know what to do bcos I'd never had to deal with one b4 so i freaked out and almost drove off the road and annoyed my gramps lol

but then i got home and watched legend of boo-kini bottom so im better now

[pesky-plumbers]

I love Pac-Man World 2 holy shit. My sister broke our disk tho cuz she tried putting both that and Halo in the xbox at the same time lmfao.

KSKMXMDMCMDM my sister would brake shit too but out of anger lol
