It’s just a girl and her human toddler sized frog against the world

Hey we saw you from across the glade and we really hate your vibe.

Okay but genuinely what happened to all the chthonic residents when the house was attacked? The dialogue briefly mentions that the shades fled so I’m assuming sisyphus, eurydice, orpheus, achilles, patroclus etc. are fine (also they’re already dead so they can’t exactly die twice) but like… what about dusa?! Is she okay??? Are the furies okay???? Is nyx alright? Did she flee to chaos’ realm? Where the fuck is thanatos?! CERBERUS???!!! IS CERBERUS OKAY?! SUPERGIANT ANSWER ME!!!!

I swear to god if that fucking titan laid a single hair follicle on that dog I will start killing

#hades #hades game #hades supergiant #hades 2 #hades 2 spoilers #WHERE'S MY DOG #WHERE'S THE BEST THREE-HEADED DOG IN THE UNDERWORLD SUPERGIANT #WHERE'S NIGHT MOM SUPERGIANT #ANSWER ME #I NEED ANSWERS #oh fuck i'm tearing up again #every time i think about the chthonic gang being in trouble it makes me so sad #i imagine that the gameplay might be structured around getting back to tartarus to free hades in a reverse of the first game #and every major boss is a member of the house of hades that we saw in the last game #in ascending order of how much it breaks our hearts to fight them if they've been turned into thralls for chronos #and beating them means you take them back to the crossroads and gain them as an ally

Okay but Hermes being missing and Charon obviously being worried about it (inferred from Melinoe's dialogue) is KILLING ME

#hades #hades game #hades supergiant #hades 2 #hades 2 spoilers #i need them all to be okay #i have a primal need for everyone in the underworld to be okay by the end of the game #that's all i'm asking #charon supergiant #hermes supergiant

I just made a whole twt thread about this to my audience of no one so I want this on the record HERE:

IIIII THINK THAT the only option that makes sense abt where Zag is is that Chronos has him under some type of possession, and that he’s going to be a boss battle 💞

not only was it proven one game ago he’s un-imprisonable it’s just narratively lame to stick him offscreen in jail. in fact it’s my belief that it LITERALLY ONLY makes sense for Zag to be the final boss (or the just-before-final-boss if the final is Chronos???) imagine the loop of gettin one step closer to snapping Zag out of it before dying & starting from scratch w him a little more lucid every time?? It fits too well into the game mechanic??? Maybe he doesn’t remember previously fighting Mel until he does, a little bit more, the more you die and return!?? Every round more of his actual self and personality reappearing???

maybe I’m just thinking about ✨the angst of it all✨ but like. LOGISTICALLY. I feel like it’s the only thing that makes sense. bc otherwise how has Zag not broken out of [wherever he might be otherwise]. Again just did a whole game about how he can break out of anywhere!! and NARRATIVELY - the TT already made it very clear that the characters from the first game are very present here & now it’s not like they’re in the distant past!! The plot is, the characters we know & love previously need to be saved!! Why would they waste THE PREV MAIN CHARACTER quietly offscreeN SITTING IN CHAINS WITH HADES AND PERSEPHONE ITS,, like come on that wouldn’t make ANY sense.

think of the twist of it all!! the way the reveal would shock everyone!!! the gut punch of it all!! THE PANIC OF HAVING TO FIGHT ON THE OTHER SIDE OF ZAG’S BLITZ FIGHT STYLE THAT EVERYONE GOT SUPER FAMILIAR WITH A GAME AGO!!!

listen. listen. I’m right. I’M RIGHT. mark it down now I’m RIGHT. …that or I saw someone say that chronos probably ate the three of them which. well. ok that would be very funny so maybe

#hades #hades game #hades supergiant #hades 2 #hades 2 spoilers #just in case #it would be SUCH a fucking gut punch #to have to play as mel fighting her big brother she never met #to see our boy zagreus not in control of himself and forced to fight for someone using him as a pawn #and that's why supergiant should ABSOLUTELY do it #for Maximum Emotional Damage #it also makes narrative sense because chronos would definitely do this solely to torture hades for locking him up in tartarus #salt in the wound and all that #i'm gonna scream

I hadn’t drawn the house of hades boys in years! Curse me! This isn’t exactly a remake of an old painting but it’s in the vibe of how I used to draw them all the time. Poetic and stealing kisses

Few tales are told of the House of Hades, whose reign as grim lord of the dead came to a sudden end when, all at once, his past caught up with him. But gods do not go quietly, and history repeats.

So this tale was only a matter of Time...

#hades #hades game #hades supergiant #hades 2 #hades 2 spoilers #just in case #i swear to god #the possibility of mel having to fight zag #someone she's built up in her mind because they never got a chance to truly know each other #someone who probably loved her from the moment he knew she was going to exist #it makes me sick #it makes me want to tear chronos to bits #supergiant studios i am in your walls #melinoë supergiant #zagreus supergiant #my stuff

can persephone please catch a break cuz that’s twice now she hasn’t been able to raise her kids due to divine fuckery 🫠

#hades #hades game #hades supergiant #hades 2 #i think persephone should get to apeshit at LEAST once #just for not being able to raise either of her 2 kids #i mean everyone should get a turn to kick chronos in the head #but i think persephone should get a few extra chances #zagreus #melinoe #persephone #other people's art

lovely little character design detail for moros - the spindle, the measuring rod, and the shears of the three fates

#hades #hades game #hades supergiant #hades 2 #eagerly anticipating the designs for the moirai #if they're going to show up for melinoe instead of chaos #also his weapon is covered in thread in their colours #do you think the fates are unapologetic about which of their younger siblings is their favourite or no #moros supergiant

thinking thoughts so many thoughts all the thoughts

Supergiant has the opportunity to do something hilarious and great at the same time. In mythology, Aphrodite is married to Hephaestus but cheats on him with Ares.....however.....

If you make Hephaestus refer to Ares as "Our Boyfriend" in dialogue with Aphrodite. I will sing that games praises all the way from Mount Olympos, Greece. To Olympus Mon, Mars!

#hades #hades game #hades supergiant #hades 2 #hades 2 spoilers #just in case #i think i would combust just a little #ares as war and all that it entails #aphrodite as passion strong enough to send soldiers to foreign lands #hephaestus as the forge and the fire that keeps both moving #ares as the glory of war and hephaestus as the gears that keep the machine of war moving #i think it should be a little messier #and i think hephaestus and ares should let their pride get the better of them at least once a week #ares supergiant #aphrodite supergiant #hephaestus supergiant

A little drawing of them. For me. As a treat

#hades #hades game #hades supergiant #hades 2 #the man the myth the legend #makes sense for him to be the mentor this time around #mel is attacking chronos discreetly which feels perfect for odysseus as a strategist #now do we think he's been separated from his wife or #odysseus supergiant #melinoë supergiant #other people's art

"Don't forget all that the Titan took from you."

Every time I see the family portrait, I literally have to look away because I will start crying and shaking

desperately trying to manifest hera showing up in hades 2 by taping a picture of zeus' face to a dartboard and having a go at it

#hades #hades game #hades supergiant #hades 2 #i need to see her #if everyone's being summoned for the war effort there's no reason for her not to show up #seeing hephaestus gives me hope for a decent portrayal
