#although that is unrelated

[cutesilyo]

you know how there was a running theme with the NPC encounters in hades? that sisyphus, eurydice, and patroclus were all involved in stories about being unable to escape death?

and its something thats explicitly discussed within hades itself, at least for sisyphus and eurydice. sisyphus had attempted to cheat death three times, one of the most notable being when he bound thanatos in chains. orpheus had found a way to bring eurydice back to life, but couldn't follow through with completing hades' challenge. achilles had a prophecy hanging over him during the war; die in glory at troy or live long unremembered. he chose the war and patroclus followed. they didn't survive. they are all different manifestations of the axiom zagreus is fighting against: that in hades, there is no escape.

so i was thinking. in the hades 2 playtest, we get dialogue from nemesis about how mortals had it better during kronos' time. we get dialogue from arachne too, about being distrustful toward the gods because of her curse.

i wonder if the running theme for the npcs in hades 2 will be people maligned by the gods in some shape or form.

arachne is already confirmed as the npc encounter for erebus. proud athena cursed her into being a spider. will we see victims of a love gone wrong in the next biome, like daphne perhaps? will we see those offered up for sacrifice just to appease the gods, such as andromeda or iphigenia? maybe those who were killed, perhaps unjustly so, because they dared fly too close to the heavens, like bellerophon or icarus? demigods that were cursed because of their birth, ala heracles? its long been a joke that the greek myths are just full of people suffering because of the incomprehensible acts of the gods. if hades 2 goes down this route, theres a lot of material to draw inspiration from.

and its an especially interesting direction because we know that its kronos waiting for us down the line. kronos, who ruled the golden age. when it comes to those wronged by the gods, you cant get much worse than being waged war against, your mountain stronghold so damaged from the attack that it loses height, and then being cut up into tiny pieces.

kronos, the crooked one. i bet he'd have a hell of a time trying to convince melinoe that the gods cant be trusted. and melinoe would be surrounded by all these narratives that would just prove his point.

just like how zagreus was in hades, who was surrounded by all these narratives about how death had no escape. and yet, his story is about how life and love bloom despite it. i cant wait to see what melinoe is fighting against now.

#hades game #hades 2 #mine #hades game meta #hades analysis #okay something i couldnt fit in the post lol #melinoe is literally roomies with a ghost called dora #dora. like pandora. pandora's box dora. #arguably the first mortal ever victimized by the gods. #can you IMAGINE if we're running all these storylines about mortals who have suffered from olympian hands and then we get the reveal that #dora is PANDORA??? #although i dont think thats where we're going with her character lmao it might like a #dusa situation where we get hints that she might be?? medusa??? but ultimately she has her own character and storyline with zag #that is completely unrelated to medusa lmao #lol just a thought. are we ever gonna talk about zeus committing mass genocide in like a. noahs ark type situation #like the great flood and all that. like probably not. but wouldnt that be fun

After watching the Cole & Jay flashback, a headcanon popped out:

Cole is immune to Jay's lightning or any lightning, only if he's expecting it or if he isn't caught off guard.

To be honest, it makes sense on the number of times Cole got shocked. Then, in the flashback, we see Jay electrifying the controller, but Cole's not affected.

I'm so obsessed with these 2 panels specifically because it directly does draw parallel between Steph and Jason (the only two who have died at this point) with the reference that "she was not the first to die". The part that is highlighted in Bruce's panels are also fascinating because is his overwhelming grief and anger over Steph ("Who really killed Stephanie Brown?"), Jason ("not the first to die"), both?

#mypost #dc thoughts #bruce wayne #stephanie brown #robin #batman #spoiler #i think it's both btw although this story goes out of its wayyyy to absolve bruce of any guilt by putting it on LESLIE of all people #the more i read of steph the more people who say steph and jason don't have parallels make less and less sense to me #i'm sorry this is completely unrelated but for some reason aaron black makes me think of aaron rayner #another point for steph kyle parallels i didn't see coming - a father who masquerades as an aaron for some time

Messily written trans Laios headcanons(?). My sense of vocabulary has gone kaput... I couldnt make it a comic but I drew one of the bullet points as a garnish

-Taken just fine by his parents since he seemed like a more suitable heir than Falin. Given father's old clothes but couldn't stand to borrow Falin's outerwear because it felt like he was stealing < she doesnt GAF

-The village chief neglected to tell anyone about his children's personal lives as he only keeps to himself and doesn't often appear with his family. There weren't many people (including children) Falin and Laios frequently socialized with either, so neighbors mainly chalked the sudden change up to misremembering them.

-Raised very traditionally as a man though in a more reserved manner due to his father's nature, who could only take from his own personal experiences. While it should feel gratifying on the surface, it all vaguely felt as if he was trying to bury something. Such an approach harbored feelings of guilt as Laios thought he was being "ungrateful", and tried to focus on the opportunity to find a place for himself and Falin. In later years, he'd find many aspects of masculinity and gender roles presented to him by his peers too arbitrary compared to monsters.

-By the time he's settled with Falin he's given the time to take things at his own pace and actually address his trans identity as it felt widely overlooked. Only tape-binds in the dungeon. In any other case he does not often use it. Does not fit into any specific binary. Can only be described by his own definition. It isn't "like" anything. No op. Will always keep the "older brother" title. Shortly after he starts opening up about his passion he'll have to uncover his nagging discomfort of wanting to transform into something else entirely.

#Although the transmasc hc is fairly popular Ive never really seen anything too in depth for it. I think its really interesting #how that would play out in his life and in the world itself. I like the idea of it not being initially freeing/liberating. #I hold close the concept of dealing with further (maybe even worse) inner turmoil post-transition now that you can tackle other things #^Related or unrelated to gender identity/presentation #Resolution at the end is always satisfying but it would be fucking crazy if the cogs finished turning in the early-middle half

omg! world's most hyperspecific self-indulgent crossover just dropped! (it's the locked tomb. it's a nier automata tlt au.)

#look im mentally ill about both of these series ok? ok. #2b9s are soooo necrocav to me #eighth house because uhhhhhh. ok fine its because i wanted an excuse for them to keep their funny little blindfolds #BUT ALSO i think the spirit stuff is a good stand in for hacking and theres a lot of potential w/ soul siphoning. you know. for suffering. #although it would be funny as hell if 2b was second house and 9s was ninth #second or fourth house honestly might be a better fit but i think the religious overtones of the eighth r interesting too #unrelated ill take any excuse i can to put 2b in masc outfits #i really do think i am uniquely ill about this game ANYWAYS read tlt it goes so hard #nier #nier automata #tlt #the locked tomb #fanart #crossover #my art

I very much enjoyed Play It By Ear season 1, but, by god Play It By Ear season 2 has Got The Vibes.

Annnnnnnd I think I just got the gimmick with the dice

They're not his dice

But now I've gotta ask why Kusu's dragging kids into spirit shit lol

#mononoke #mononoke book #mononoke kusuriuri #adventures in japanese #well alright i guess the one girl's already got something going on with her with no dice involved #that or she's just got a totally unrelated anxiety disorder #because these things definitely exist in a vacuum in mononoke #although if you subscribe to the kitsune!medicine vendor theory then i haven't gotten far enough out yet to actually rule out these being #his dice after all #but no im pretty sure they're the mononoke's #but then if you subscribe to the mononoke!medicine vendor theory then that STILL doesn't say they can't be his dice lol #(for legal reasons this is a joke i sincerely doubt we're getting any answers one way or another about either of those here)

When Chay and Kim get back together in the 24/7 AU, Chay expects things to go back to how they were before, and is surprised when they don't. The whole point is that Kim wanted a lover, but didn't want to let anyone close. So he maintained this distance between them, using the D/S dynamic to do it. But now he doesn't need to, anymore. Chay can be on equal footing with him in this relationship. And sure, a little bit of that shone through towards the end, because Kim couldn't help himself, he was falling in love, and that distance became harder and harder to maintain (which made it easier to convince himself to cut Chay off entirely after the RevealTM).

Chay is not at all prepared for a completely, unrestrictedly in love Kim

#cookie writes #kimchay #I'm v excited #I also thought about how their reconciliation would look #thought about Chay making Kim submit this time as punishment #but Kim isn't vers and I don't want them to leverage sex that way In this fic #the whole point is that the ONLY healthy thing about them is their sex life and the trust they've built #so that wouldn't make sense #Kim could still let him top tho lol #wait i think I just mixed up switch and vers #no reason to keep them straight bc im bi so im both xD #whatever kim bottoms but doesn't sub #although I think he would offer to at some point #which would be fine #just as long as Chay isn't the demanding it in exchange for forgiveness #it's Kim's decision to trust Chay while he gives up control #unrelated to their reconcilliation #this fic is just a long ass character study hidden behind 10 layers of sex and whips

yo WHY did I never notice that hennessy HAS A FISH SCALE TATTOO ? aka a tattoo probably very similar to the one she later gives ronan.......... i need a moment

[Image ID: photograph of a paragraph from pg 70 of Call Down the Hawk.

Transcript: She had changed since she'd left in the car. Her kinky hair was now pulled up in a ragged black topknot. She wore tinted glasses, a rabbit fur coat, a lace bralette white against her dark skin, and leather leggings that exposed a fish-scale tattoo on her lower calf. More pastel tattoos covered her knuckles, which were also smeared with paint. He still couldn't tell how old she was. She could be twenty-five. She could be seventeen.]
