Hades Headcanons P.2: Life In The Underworld

As we know, death is cheap to every denizen of the realm. Including the natural fauna and the human shades. The pain of injuries isn't lessened, but the distress and panic associated with wounds are gone, 'cause there's no more consequences for the body to instinctively react towards. You can imagine mortal injuries to be nothing more than a rush. For Zagreus and his ADHD brain, it's probably one heck of a stim. No wonder he hints at liking pain.

Same with all the bosses you slay, all minor enemies eventually reconvene whole and hearty upon their death. Their respawn point is whatever they'd call their 'home' in the underworld, same with Zagreus and Megara in the House Of Hades. A Lout wakes back up in his cell. A Wavemaker finds themselves back in their (flooded) apartment. If pre-reunion Patroclus was slain, he'd pop back into his glen, but if he and Achilles eventually decide to find proper housing like we see in the distance of Elysium, his respawn point would change. Only administration like Hades himself can override this.

This respawn mechanic applies to the fish, too, 'cause they're natural to the underworld. The head chef cooks a Chlam, and that very Chlam would later respawn in the Lethe. Little known to Zagreus, but he's caught the same Scuffer 20 times in a row. Don't worry, they don't particularly mind.

And speaking of fish and food, sustenance in the underworld function like video game logic, through pure energy rather than as nutrition. Unlike us, who digest food and shit the waste, those gyros directly transfer their calories into an immortal/shade's energy, whether the energy is spent healing wounds or increasing their martial prowess. Zagreus downs a HydroLite Energy Drink and 10% of his wounds heal upon leaving a room. The Ignited Ichor Caffeine Shot make him run faster. But taste buds are still active, so bless Eurydice and her cooking skills.

But all those onions you see? Those aren't natural to the underworld. Or, rather, they're plain ol' onions, growing in the UV-emitting light of Ixion's Wheel. In fact, many underground root or bulb crops can be found naturally growing throughout the underworld, like carrots and turnips, playing to the idea that their bounties grow 'below the earth'. They don't particularly thrive, since there's less natural pollinators, but with Persephone's influence they can be plentiful. These vegetables naturally migrated below the Temple of Styx on their own, and throughout the centuries became part of the flora.

In the lore of Hades (2018), gods like Thanatos, Aphrodite, Nyx, even Chaos- they aren't pure embodiments of their domain. They're also individual people with personalities and obligations. But there's one exception - the Styx itself. Like a blood vein, the Styx endlessly flows through the afterlife and delivers its yoke upon the current. All afterlife rivers spawn from it, and hence its the same river no matter if its the calm and foggy Lethe of blessed, hedonistic Elysium, or the hot and churning Phlegethon of limbo Asphodel. Charon is Like That 'cause he's one step away from being a pure 'embodiment' because of his relationship to the Styx.

Following the artsy symbolism, the devs made Hypnos the first npc you see upon death because he's the god of sleep. The ancient Greeks liked to symbolize Sleep as Death's cousin, or sibling. That's why he has that weird admin job in the House of Hades, rather than his canonical abode up in Elysium.

All the immortals in-game wear leggings, which was unheard of in Classical Greece, whose textiles sucked. Life in the underworld introduces luxuries to shades they've never experienced in life - indoor plumbing, flawless glass and mirrors, clothing finer than anything a mortal king would have had. Hades, is, after all, the richest of the pantheon thanks to his domain including gemstones. A newly-dead shade is relocated to their new condo in Asphodel, and freaks the fuck out about the bed having a mattress stuffed with down, rather than just a blanket covering straw.

🍇, 🍏!!

Hellooo ty for the ask and the patience 👋

"Does your system have varying tastes in music, food, etc? If so, what is everyone's favorites?"

Y'know, we didn't think so at first for food, but turns out we just didn't switch enough for eating and Survivor (our food-caretaker) isn't too picky! My adopted insys son Gregory told me his favorite food is stew and thick soups, so I got him canned chicken pot pie soup earlier ^^ (Akira: I taught him that. Crock pot forever) A lot of our Cookie Run sourced fictives expect a sweeter diet than is normal for a human, so we end up getting a lot of jams, jellies, and treats for them to feel like they're eating properly.

As for music, that's actually been very important to us since the beginning! One of the very first things we used to help differentiate ourselves was deciding which music we liked best. My subsystem is more eclectic and likes most anything that's auditorily stimmy for us (usually indie, synth, rap, reggae, whatever incredible secret sauce goes into celtic music, things like that), while Badeline likes more rock, indie rock, and electropop, while Casey likes more alt stuff with a juxtaposition of a light/cute beat and heavier/more dramatic lyrics. The Vanilla Garden favors softer stuff that centers around emotions and a good tune, but Red Jam in particular likes alt rock to rap to scene/punk and harder rock.

Some favorite songs:

- Pure Vanilla told me his favorite song was Fly Me to the Moon by Frank Sinatra and I found that absolutely hilarious for some reason

- My/The Prism's favorite stim songs currently are Feed the Machine by Poor Man's Poison, 44 More by Logic, and Logo te Pate by Olivia Foa'i, Opetaia Foa'i, & Talaga Steve Sale

- My/Casey's favorite song is this one right now, Collared by Vane Lily!!! Please watch the video omgggg it's so good uve got no idea. cw religious trauma stuffs

- Badds and Levana both LOOOVE this song, Revived by Derivakat, even tho we're pretty sure it's from some kinda source or another but don't care hehe

"What's your favorite thing about being plural? If you don't have a favorite/don't enjoy being plural, use this as a free space to gush about whatever you'd like!"

Our favorite thing about being plural is probably how many unexpected developments have turned into lifelong relationships that change our lives! Our very second polyconscious member we were aware of was an unexpected soulbond rather than a tulpa, and they ended up becoming one of my most grounded advisors and important friends. Ever since then, I never know when we'll suddenly get someone that becomes an important part of our lives, and getting that experience with so many new people is something I personally cherish!

->Earth bending/plant growth/gemstone generation (cause I think its cool)

->Speaking with animals

Lore (vague-ish):

Growing up, young jerico loved animals, specially given that her radiant nature gave her easier access to all things animal/nature related.

They end up participating in various nature and animal preserves, learning survival skills, researching about ecosystems and travelling the world.

On the side however, she'd use her radiant power to dismantle operations that harmed the enviroment, making her be wanted by various very angry mobsters and CEOs. In exchange for her help, valorant made sure she was no longer in danger.

♡likes:

->animals,travelling, music, chocolinas (a Brand of cookies from argentina), nature, painting, drawing, listening to music,playing her guitar(acoustic/electric), sleeping, Reading,writing, cuddles/physical touch,apples,sweet foods/baked goods, food/eating,hanging out with Friends,practicing archery, camping (Yet also loves being cooped up in xeir room just using her phone/pc),videogames, tea, hot chocolate.

Trivia:

Her room number is 14.

Shes honest, doesnt like lying/hiding her feelings

She wears her heart on her sleeve.

They have been heard making cat noises when stretching,purring when happy, and have been seen kneading surfaces they've been laying on, (sage cant tell Wether its stimming or their radiant nature)

Gets along with skye's animals and Gekko's creatures. All whom they've been found sneaking out of their owner's presence to cuddle up or hang out with Ranger.

Gets particularly along with Omen, mostly because they both give off cat vibes.

Has a tendency to move their ears at the source of a sudden noise like Doors or people coming in and out of the room hes in

Has sharp reflexes, catching things mid fall or from behind

Nocturnal, goes to sleep at late hours on off days, Hates waking up early. This nocturnal nature seems to correlate to her radiant powers.

Xeir eyes glow in the dark like cats do, suspected to have night vision. Because of this xey have scared the crap out of wandering agents at night (sometimes on accident, others not so much)

Best Friends with killjoy, raze and astra.

Collects things from all the places xey visit.

Can recognize animals by their noises alone.

Loves cooking for herself and her Friends.

Her room is decorated in a sort of goblin Core style, with forest green walls, warm color schemes and a lot of posters, plants, UV light for said plants, nerd/geek/gamer stuff, videogames, consoles, trinkets she has found while on her travels, fairy lights, hanging decorations and one of those hanging seats, her screen/window displays a view of Argentina's capital or other places like waterfalls or reserves, also beaches from her home country.

She has a Reading nook where said hanging Seat is, she goes there when she needs a break from the world, finding the confined space of the Seat to be comforting.

YES!! IT'S ONE OF THE BEST PARTS OF BRAINSTORMING IDEAS

AND I WENT A BIT OFF THE RAILS SO LEMME PUT THE RAMBLINGS UNDER READ MORE

Revving engines as growling. Making engine vibrate as purring. Letting out steam or sth as hissing. Honking as howling or screaming. Clamping armor like gators clap their jaws as being ready to fight. Do you think they could salute this way too? Yes, sir, my armor's tight and won't let any bullets through?

Beeps and other vocalizations like meowing with your cat back and forth. Or just as stimming. Clicking/ moving some parts as stimming. Broken fax noises to annoy siblings because why not. Make them chirp in Morse code.

Biolights shining brighter as blushing or flickering/dimming as being afraid. Lights very bright as a warming or hyper on drugs, very dim as being sick/ depressed.

Rotors doing a lil spin or air vents going quicker as equivalent of feeling butterflies. Or just spinning rotors / venting faster as anger. Together with a growling engine, warming up the parts before a possible fight. Synchronized flights or rides as dancing / mating rituals or just having fun.

Wing flaps twitching/flicking. Small movable parts moving like cat's/horse's ears to indicate mood. Same with wings / doorwings /whatever's on the back. Or indicating mood in a way not perceivable to us. By sounds we can't hear or lights we can't see or vibes we can't sense. Like we can't hear most of a cat's vocalization and can hear only their baby talk for kittens or warning signs for predators.

Speaking of baby - there's so many different ways a tf can come to be. What if eggs. Not necessarily egg-shaped. Created next to an adult's spark or somewhere in a titan or Cybertron's ground or lab-grown. And it s their altmode till they evolve or grow or get upgrades or scan sth to transform into.

What if like in some dragon legends such egg can hibernate and "hatch" only under certain circumstances? Only when it absorbs enough of a certain type of energy like heat one radiation or sth? Charging batteries through solar panels by laying in sun like geckos.

Sleeping by hanging on a wall/ceiling like bats because after manufacturing they were stored that way to save space. Being able to hibernate for centuries if not millennia. Being able to "digest" various types of fuel, getting energy from energon or radiation or solar power or nuclear power or or or….

Weird legs' And arms and wings! Or other limbs! Make them use tracks or wheels in feet as wheelies. Feet/boots changing depending on the surface, like having claws/prongs that pop out when it's slippery. Specialized servos with inflatable small cushions on their fingertips for extra gripping on fragile things.

Weird faces! A mask. Mouth being in a different place than the mask indicates. Separate mouth for a vocalizer(s) and separate for fuel intake. Do they even need a mouth? Do they just have a speaker in one place and fuel intake somewhere on their arm or chest or leg?

You know how snakes yawn and get their jaws off the hinges? Make tfs stretch their whole frames like that. Weird fucked-up sort of mid-transformation mess. With the variety of frames and alt modes they could freak out each other and not only humans.

Weird nose-like or crest-like things that are sensors. And antennae. To take in all sorts of information. Looking like whiskers. Like horns. Like ears, nose or tail. Used for measuring wind or radiation or certain wavelengths or whatever.

3 eyes. Single eye. None at all. All there are. Optics resembling in looks/function eyes of an eagle, crab, spider, goat or a dragonfly. Seeing shrimp colors. Or seeing no colors but having x-ray vision or seeing UV or infra red. Having telescopes or microscopes for eyes. Various tfs having various modes of vision. Of hearing. Of feeling / orienting themselves in the sapce they occupy.

The whole spark and em field stuff. Another sense. Their helms suggest rather narrow field of optic vision but also no need for a wider scope. Is it sensing the EM field? Do they have ocelli-like cameras or sensors on their backs?

Brain to brain communication. Spark to spark. Vibe to vibe. To us it's a higher dimension. Talking by holding hands. Talking by blinking biolights. By Morse code. By bluetooth. Talking by ultra or infra sounds, not audible to us. Possibly not audible to other models of tfs or audible only when on the same wavelength.

Primus, just imagine their music and art. Looking and sounding different depending on your perception settings and changing as you change or upgrade your settings.

Behavior resulting from a mix of how they were built/ programmed, how were they raised, what upgrades/ training they got, where and when they lived, what they went through... Mix all the cultures and philosophies with all the cool stuff we know about plants and animals and technology. There is just so much we can do.

Make them learn human languages faster than expected because they often have to ad just to each others' ways of communication. I mean imagine communicating primarily with lights and meeting someone who uses sth like morse code. And with a different slang at that because they're from an aquatic community while you're from a mining one.

On top of that cultural whiplash because you're from different sides of the universe and were taught/programmed in different schools/philosophies and also the whole set of behaviors is different. Cat and dog. Wave tail as annoyance, wave tail as happiness.

For this wall of text I blame this post and @president-alpine (we rambled about our ocs). Also an animal that came to my mind that doesn't always fluff up when threatened was this owl:

It does fluff up but it also goes creepy skinny. Now this is obviously showing off either "I'm bigger than you, no point in attacking me" or "I'm a fucked up freak, you better stay away" but we put our own spin on these.

"Fluffing up," making armor stand out of the frame more can be used in general arguing, possibly as increasing ventilation to cool down in advance to prepare for more heat from the effort of the possible fight.

Clamping the armor close to the frame could happen when a tf gets spooked and tenses up or "fluffs up" and then loudly clamps down (maybe even repeatedly) to express anger and an attack warning (crocks smacking their jaws, big buff guys cracking knuckles or punching a fist into their other hand).

There would also be quiet clamping and keeping the armor clamped close - for those who don't mess around and mean business. Add to it the cold, focused and unblinking stare. You're being analyzed intensely for your smallest move and their armor is tight around their frame already at attention. You better apologize for whatever you did or said to make them like this. Or just run

And how one expresses their fear/anger/seriousness depends on who they are and how were they brought up.

Naturally stealth tfs are generally quiet by nature and won't do much loud clamping (unless raised in a loud environment or just having a different personality). Quiet warnings / fight preparations may also indicate they re not necessarily from a stealth background but had a certain military training (fluffing up = leaving yourself open = not ideal).

Shy tfs ( stealthy or not) may also opt for the quiet version. Better be careful, you never know when their scared "making myself smaller" pose changes to their ready to attack "armor close and protecting me well" pose. It can just be in the eye contact: maintaining = observing for movement, turning optics away = pls don't attack, I can't even see you clearly.

If a shy one fluffs up to argue with you it's a friendly banter and they trust you enough to relax.

Also if there's a hot-headed loudmouth ofc they're gonna go naturally for fluffing up and loud repeated clamping (alongside with engine revving and other displays like that). This can mean two things: they're either playing and showing off 'cuz they know you won't attack or they don't treat you seriously and even if this turns into a fight they can defeat you easily without much effort.

And if one like that goes for the quiet clamp and stare it can also be two things: either they got scared and are bracing themselves or they got pissed enough to to kick your ass properly.

My biggest pet peeve in Transformers media and fanfiction sometimes is that Transformers aren't treated as aliens. They are referred to as aliens, they obviously are aliens, but they never feel like they are aliens because they are always written or seen as having all human mannerisms or features usually. Human posture, human noses, human mannerisms, humanoids...

What about TFA's cat noses or TFP's helm noses? One of the reasons I think those two shows have peak designs is because they have this lack of uncanniness to humans design wise. I'm not looking at a human being as a robot, I'm looking at an alien robot, ones that have claws, ones that have different body types that blend with their vehicle modes, ones with horrific mutilations and designs impossible by human standards. I love seeing that type of stuff in Transformers because to me, it makes them feel alien without completely changing the premises of similarities to where we can't compare their culture or likeness to humans. The films (mostly 1 and 2) showed off this as well.

Another thing I really would like to see in Transformers media is non-human interactive qualities. What do I mean by that? One thing I've noticed is aside from techno-organic species, regular Cybertronians do have a few qualities found in animals. Engine humming I believe was once used as a form of purring in the films and in some of the cartoons. Humans can't purr; cats can, and that small detail is always interesting to come across because it's like "wow, they have this feature that shows off a trait found in Cybertronians. That is so cool." You have them with multiple voice boxes for mechanical, natural, and human-like tones which is also an animal trait. Bumblebee is self-explanatory in most universes being able to still make sounds yet not talk. They have sensors across their body that don't act like the basic human receptors. Most animals can do more than just feel through certain points of their bodies. They can taste, smell, or even hear a hundred times better than a human being throughout various body parts, and Transformers have been hinted to have this ability too, especially through their servos. It's stuff like this that expands upon their existence as aliens.

They have extreme durability, their body morphs to extremes and can also double as a moving weapon (most obvious of course), some of them can make ungodly roars and creature-like noises to warn or show their threatening demeanor (Megatron's dinosaur-like growling), some can have two rows of teeth (a flat base in front and fangs hidden behind), and some of them have mimicking animal-like features (Starscream's bird-shaped feet with visible expansion the same as organic foot padding with similar distributive weight physics in a few universes) despite having no beast mode. There's probably more I can't think of on the top of my head in canon, but all those things are not heavily used as they should be to make them feel alien. They can still hold some relation to the humans they interact with, but I think a lot of Transformers are more than just metal "humans", you know?

Depending on the universe in fanfiction and who you encounter who writes it or not, you have several things that are always cool to see. They have to sparkbond (merging of hearts) above everything else to create a sparkling's life force with interface as just the extra for physical coding features. I've seen people use the non-canon heat cycles which are, of course, our fandom way of making a type of breeding euphemism akin to an animal's cycle. You have the common phrasing of nuzzling, heightened senses, armor and certain parts of the helm acting like fur or ears where it raises and flattens per their mood, and some Transformers have limb dissonance where if necessary, they can convert between bipedal and quadrupedal stances (best example is Bulkhead and Lugnut from TFA who have long arms but short legs and they have the bulky structure where they could possibly run like an animal briefly and the physics of it would work).

So, you have all these different things a common Cybertron most likely would be able to do or have but a human couldn't, and it's never utilized to their full potential. I would like to see people address the nature of Cybertronians as alien and not be afraid to make them alien. I think that's the biggest flaw in our franchise is that everyone is scared of making the Transformers not the humanoid "norm" and getting ridiculed for it. Like, they're aliens, you can make them act however animal-like or completely batshit insane as you want them. You can give them powers, animal-based senses, and behaviors hidden among a human thought process. And technically, you wouldn't be wrong to what they could be as a living creature in the universe by doing so. They aren't humans; they look humanoid, but they aren't us. Why should they have to be in every regard?

Thank you for reading my TED Talk.
