I've seen some people say some character art downgraded from 1 to 2 and while i agree about some poses not being as dynamic and some of the art being unfinished (early access tho) and the colors not being as dope, and some of the gods feel different
but i wanna specifically ramble about Artemis best gurl for a bit
this is my girlie in Hades 1
I've been thinking about the differences from 1 to 2, and I think in here, she's presenting herself as the Goddess of Hunting.
she looks a bit menacing, she looks sharp, she looks like she just got here, the angle she's looking at you it's not very direct it's like she's measuring you from head-to-toe kinda way, she also has that greenish light which feels kinda like an aura. she's down to business!
and when we look at her in Hades 2
She looks confident still, and you can see her weapons just as clearly, but her pose, and her smile? she's like, laid back, she's not quite posing to create an impression, she doesn't have that greenish aura, she's there in the flesh, she's not really presenting as a goddess in particular... she looks more welcoming, a bit softer looking... she looks like she's just stopped for a chat, while in 1 it's like she's in the middle of something
and when you stop to think about it? she is. she is just chatting with her friend. Melinoe is her friend, she called her Sister.
We're much more closer to her as Melinoe than we were as Zagreus. bc while she does become friends with him in H1, she's more of a long distance friend. we were building our bond with her in H1.
But here? in H2? she's known Mel for years... she kept it a secret from other gods... she's got those accessories thingies with the 4 colors. not only are we close friends we even got a friend bracelet thing going on with her!! Melinoe is a precious friend to her from what i've seen so far.
Why would she pose and be a bit distant with her friend? we know Artemis is a bit closed off from people, she prefers being in the woods with the animals than other gods i recall her saying that to Zag, but Mel? Mel is a dear friend, she sounds much more casual from the get go with her than with Zag because we have a strong bond with her already
In Hades 1 we just got to know her, so she's more closed off, she is more business like, she is distant, she is The Goddess of Hunting
In Hades 2 she is our friend 💖
that. is the difference

𝑳𝒐𝒗𝒆 𝑾𝒊𝒏𝒔 𝑨𝒍𝒍
You begin to stir in your sleep, the sounds around you being ever so sweet in the morning. The birds chirp away their melodious morning song, the wind softly howling through the open window, the breeze dancing along your skin, the soft comfort the sun gives as it lays across the bed, and the warm inviting hug from the sheet above you. You look around in the cabin you call home. Until your eyes land on the person sleeping softly on you. Brown soft locks sprawled out on your chest. A toned body holding yours. Little snores escape his pink lips, and his eyes closed sleeping happily with you. You smile to yourself.
You and Eren escaped from Pardis and decided to create a new life together. Here in the small cabin away from all the fighting and wars. This is the life yall wanted. A life without running, without living on death's time. A life where you could enjoy the man you loved. Happy and in peace.
Eren begins to feel the soft pads of your fingers on his scalp. Carefully messaging and tangling his hair. He stirs a bit, lightly placing a kiss on top of your breast. His hand rubs soft circles on your slightly exposed waist. "Morning Ren~," you say softly, moving your hand down to caress his cheek. " Morning baby," his husky voice rings through your ears, erupting butterflies in your stomach. His voice in the morning always managed to make you melt into putty. "What should we do today?" you ask. He stays quiet for a bit, before holding you closer, inhaling your scent to have it burned in his memory. "Let's just stay in bed," he looks up at you, his green-teal eyes looking lovingly into yours. You smile and place a light kiss on his nose. "Ok," you say in a whisper before you stay quiet. None of you speak, just embracing each other. Bodies touching and breathing the same breath as you two inhale and exhale quietly.
"Eren"
He hums softly.
"You know what my favorite thing to call you is?"
"A suicidal bastard?" he chuckles softly.
You lightly smack his arm, "No dummy. You're my dearest, darling, my universe."
Eren smiles widely, knowing that's your way of telling him you love him dearly. He lightly kisses on top of your breast again before lightly trailing up to your lips. He stops before kissing your lips, to only admire your beautiful face. "I love you," he says before placing a long kiss on your lips. You sigh into the kiss, letting him lead you deeper and deeper into his warmth.
"I love you too"
Those were the last words you said to him.
Living without Eren, was the hardest years you ever lived. Crying almost every day. Missing his touch, his voice, his cocky attitude, his smile, his smile. You never stopped loving him, not even after your last breath.
You opened your eyes, to only meet those green-teal eyes. You saw him. Eren. Your Eren. You hugged him tightly, kissing all over his face. Knowing that you will be able to spend eternity with him.
Your love has never been easy. They're where many bumps on the road. Yet, at the end of the day, your love wins all.

So, I did archery for a long time, right? Thus I learned a lot about it and one detail about archers that a lot of people don't know is that it makes your grip like a fucking vice making you absolutely insane at anything that requires a strong grip and/or use of your back muscles. Doubly so for those who use longbows since they require so much power to use properly. Your arms, hands, shoulders, and back become blocks of solid muscle and just so insanely strong
What is this about???
