This is gonna be long and none of you have to read this. I just need to vomit out a happy rant about God of War.

Like I don't know how to describe my joy and I know I keep saying it I know I do but like. Having been a fan of this series since the very first release in the 2000s, loving the story and the depth of Kratos and seeing just how vast and big and huge the fanbase is now. The fanworks people make have made my heart so happy. These games always meant so much to me as a greek mythology kid and its up there with one of the first series me and my dad ever played together (he made me step out of the room during Those Scenes, don't worry)

I remember my dad and I first seeing the demo for the first ever God of War on a ps2 demo disc we got from back when GameStop was still EB Games in Canada. We both thought it was so cool. I watched him play the demo over and over again, until one day he could finally get the full game and we were even more hooked. We beat the game so many times together and watched the bonus content until the disc wouldn't work anymore. We tried our hand at every difficulty just to unlock every costume.

I remember when God of War II came out he was one of the first in line to get it that weekend. He even got the BradyGames player guide, which me and my brother read over and over and over again looking through the pages, all the lore hints and bonus content, all the characters and concept art until the pages ripped out. I still have the poster from that guidebook hanging in my bedroom. I still know where all the secrets are in that game like the back of my hand. When the game was beat and the final cutscene played my gad and I would always day how exited we were for the next installment.

I remember the day my dad got our PSP. He got the God of War bundle, the special red edition with the decal of Kratos on the back, the one that came with Chains of Olympus. I remember waking up early on the weekends to sit with him on the couch and watch him play. And if I ever missed anything because the screen was too small he would describe it to me happily. And when Ghost of Sparta came out I got to experience it all over again.

I remember when we first started seeing trailers for GoW iii and I got so exited. I remember my dad and I playing the demo with the chimera battle and being so, so so happy, saying we couldn't wait for the game to come out. I remember my dad refraining from buying the game on his own, waiting to stop somewhere on the way home from school just to buy it with me. And at this point I was finally old enough to figure out a game controller on my own, without my dad helping me at all, and the thrill of playing as Kratos on my own was a titular moment of me realizing I was growing up. Like not to be emo but playing God of War on my own during my adolescent years hit me more than puberty.

I can go on forever. I remember the day Ascension came out, and booking it to EB Games just to try out all the new features. I remember when I saw the novels for sale at a shop in the city, and not wasting another breath telling my dad I wanted them, and reading them more than I read my books for school reports. I remember almost crying because I didn't own a smartphone and couldn't play God of War: Betrayal and being so relieved to see footage was uploaded online and I was able to experience it that way. The only reason I knew what Soul Calibur even was is because Kratos was playable in Broken Destiny for the PSP. He was my main by the way

TL;DR this series was my childhood. It means so much to me. Every time my dad played he would select easy mode so he could read out the story to me. I hyperfixated on the story. And already being a mythos obsessed kid, GoW encouraged me to research mythos even further. And I was so happy when I would replay the games after learning more and more to understand reference after reference after reference. Teaching myself new glitches and exploits and finding new secrets in hidden areas after every playthrough. Rebuying the games every single time they were ported to a new system or I lost the disc. I own like 3 or 4 copies of each game at this point because I never want to not have them. It was like a new experience every time.

However. The games were always popular yeah. Highly rated. Fun to play. Kratos was a Playstation Icon. but large playerbase meant nothing in the long run for me.

I frequented gaming forums and Facebook in the early days and it was easy to tell most everybody playing these games hardly gave two shits about the story. There was nobody who really wanted to talk about lore. Nobody who really wanted to go in depth about characters. Nobody who really wanted to share ideas beyond the main focus. I remember going on deviantart and seeing people post fanwork on the occasion whenever a new game was released, but then never again. Silence. Interest lost as quickly as it came. Honestly I noticed even when the leaks for the Norse saga were published, the majority of people turned to look, were interested, started talking, but then looked away elsewhere when it wasn't the flavour of the month anymore.

I remember running God of War blogs back in 2012 to 2015 and nothing. Maybe three people interacted. Maybe three people bothered. But there were little to no fans. An audience yes but, fans? Fanartists? Writers? Headcanons? Any kind of fanmade media at all besides a few one off images online? I'd be lucky if I saw a shitpost that mentioned Kratos.

I remember writing fanfiction and posting fanart when I was twelve. I remember having action figures of Kratos decorating my shelf and playing with them till they broke and crying bc I was so upset. I loved enjoying these games. I was having so much fun on my own. I came to terms with an audience of none. Accepting that, despite the popularity of the series, to make fancontent for it, to entertain myself with the deeper lore of it was nothing but a niche.

Even with the release of 2018, as happy as I was for the new hopeful wave of fans, I was always a little upset when I saw people who played that installment as their introduction to God of War, go on to say they had no interest in giving the previous games a whirl because of the difference in gameplay and story.

At the end of it all it was still a niche.

So just... here we are today.

Here we are today and I can go into the God of War tag and be hit with a wave of the most gorgeous shit I've ever seen. Here we are today and I wake up to the most incredible drawings and paintings of the characters I grew up with in the most creative scenarios. The fanfictions that span chapters and rip deep into Kratos and his story. The headcanons that take inspiration from the most obscure lore bits from the series. The OCs that are inspired by this series' specific interpretation of mythology.

I can't put it into words. With the release of the Norse saga it's been... amazing. I just genuinley can't describe my joy. When I was playing the games themselves and the older games, the games I've been hyperfixated on my whole life were mentioned, that was one thing. But seeing other people comment on it. Discuss it. Be invested. Enjoy it enough to be inspired. Its like... So amazing.

I don't know what it is. Maybe its because of how the new games were more story driven than the previous installments. Maybe its because of the protrayal of the characters. Maybe its because of the popularity of norse mythology. I don't know and honestly I do not fucking care what the reason is. All I know is that I'm seeing people fall in love with something that means this much to me. Thank you Santa Monica for not forgetting about the story and games that made Kratos.

Seeing people who finished Ragnarok saying they were finally going to start playing the previous games. Or watching gameplay. Or reading up on the lore. Making fanart of the Greek saga. Fanfiction of it. Talking about it. Talking about the story. The deep, heartbreaking but important story that the games have always been telling and was always there that I have been invested in since childhood. I see fanart of Kratos and Calliope together, of Orkos, of Deimos, AUs and headcanons about them, and I want to cry happy tears.

I know you guys aren't making this content for me specifically. But I still have to say thank you. Thank you for making my heart happy. Thank you for reminding me of my most beloved memories every day with the stuff you make. You make my soul happy. Thank you for making stuff I can love and cherish and share with other fans, OTHER FANS, that I can talk to and listen to and discuss lore and art and ideas with about something so beloved to me and now beloved to others. I see people posting about it in depth and I am so happy to talk to or just hear people talk.

To ALL the fanartists, writers, and just fans in general who actually enjoy my or anyone else's GoW content, all of you on behalf of every long time God of War fan thank you so much for being a part of this community.

The feeling of knowing a series of media that's been so obsessively near and dear to me my entire life is becoming dear to others is indescribable. I know I'm being so emo about this but fr like... having people I can just. Talk to about GoW lore and nodding and agreeing and. Ahhhh.

I'll stop rambling now because I could go on forever but just like. Thank yall for being here. The stuff you guys make and share means more than you think.

Thank ya 💕💕🙏

Annon-Guy: What's your Five Cents of the MK Reboot Trilogy Guest Characters? Kratos, Freddy Kruger, Jason Voorhees, Leatherface, Alien, Preditor, The Terminator T-1000, Spawn, The Joker, Robocop and John Rambo.

Kratos was more fun in Soul Calibur Broken Destiny, in my honest opinion.

Freddy Kruger was pretty "basic" (even as a MK character, but MK9 mechanics might be to blame for that…)

Jason was…. SCARY… in a fun way.

I haven't fought Leatherface much (not my taste).

Alien and Predator were (as MK3 Announcer would say) "SUPERB!"

Predator in particular was one of my favorite characters (though because my PC needs to be fixed, it's gonna be a while before I play MKX again…)

T-1K was "pretty good", but the fighting style didn't suit my playstyle much.

Robocop and Rambo were "a little better", but as guests they were GREAT.

Joker…. uh…. let's just say I used him for Fatality Practice (I'm a diehard Batman fan, so of course he has to be destroyed…). (Side note: Richard Epcar is PRESIDENT GABRIEL in Guilty Gear!)

Now Spawn… Spawn was GREAT… Spawn is an excellent excuse to get back in to MK11 if you haven't played in a while. Lots of damaging counters, lots of Lethal moves, and he looks great during each match.

One of these days I will fix my PC and I will play Mortal Kombat games again…

Rise of Kuvira Infinity plot

Hailing from an alternate reality where she has triumphed over the Avatar and her allies, Kuvira had legitimatized the Earth Empire's formation. As a show of good faith, she allowed Republic City to keep its shape and integrity, leaving it be and altering it in no tangible way.

Kuvira had also decommissioned her Giant Mecha Suit, and locking all Spirit Energy vines in a vault. As the first Earth Empress, she was a fair and just ruler...though the sacrifice of her love life weighed heavily. To ensure a war between spirits and humans didn't break out, she had led an expedition to make peace and formally apologize for her extremist attempts to weaponize spirit energy. There, she had received visions of unmatched threats...and the veil between realities fell within the Spirit World. She ventured forth and encountering opposing forces in a new world...leading to a confrontation with the Hero King Algol. Despite this adversary being beyond her natural capability, her indominable will, sheer grit and precision accuracy proved his downfall, and lay claim to the source of his power - Soul Calibur and Soul Edge. Taking these trophies back to her world, she experimented with their energies. Eventually, by simulating and cloning the blades’ energies and putting them together, the Great Uniter first used to create clean energy. However, her ambition and curiosity outgrew her desire to do right by her own world. With scientists recruited from all throughout the Earth Empire, and after five years in the mountains behind Zaofu, Kuvira’s dimension portal was constructed. Not knowing what to expect, she armed herself with the Soul Swords...only to find herself in a realm undergoing a Temporal Merging. Forming a temporary alliance with the Elder God Raiden, she aided him and his allies to confront the source of the temporal merging of that world...the Titan Kronika. While their goals were to slay her to prevent her ambitions to come to fruition, Kuvira herself chose compromise and diplomacy. Of course, Kronika wasn’t about to give up, but she was intrigued, So...she offered Kuvira an ultimatum. Create the perfect world, free of Raiden and in return Kronika would give Kuvira her Crown.

While the solution wasn’t clear, Kuvira thought of the fusion of Liu Kang and Raiden and realized what caused Kronika’s ire. With Kronika’s permission as well as her and Fire God Liu Kang’s aid, they resurrected Shinnok and Cetrion respectively. Next, with the power of Soul Edge and Soul Calibur at her disposal, fused together the Kung Lao’s and Kitana’s of both timelines. Next, just as Raiden merged with Liu Kang to become a new God, So had Kung Lao and Kitana also become new Deities. Kung Lao was now the God and ruler of the NetherRealm while Kitana was Kahn and the Deity of Outworld. Together, these three helped to maintain a balance, and established a New Mortal Kombat, not as a means of Conquest of Realms, but helps establish a lasting peace. These new Gods were installed to impose order and punishment on those intent of conquest of realms outside their own.

Having adhered to the outlined goals set by the Titan Kronika, Kuvira was bestowed with Kronika’s Crown. With the powers of Soul Calibur and Soul Edge, Kuvira considered herself a Broken Destiny. Now, with the power of Time granted to her by Kronika’s Crown...she is a step closer to a new level of power...Infinity. Her new goal is to be the Guardian of the Multiverse, and build a coalition against cosmic threats to her reality and others like it... Disclaimer, all Kuvira Conquest Armor variations drawn by me, while Kuvira Infinity I commissioned Daekarsenpai to draw.

Anon left a letter in the postbox...

Survivalist - If your muse was tossed into the wild with no resources, would they be able to survive? If so, for how long? If not, what would eventually do them in? Gaze of Fate - Does your muse believe in Fate, Destiny, “Everything happening for a reason”, or similar concepts? Blood Raven - What is the bloodiest act of violence your muse has ever committed?

Ooooh, so many juicy questions! thank you kindly anon!

I think Link would be able to survive tbh. He's a kid from the forest, he knows what's good to eat and what isn't, he was able to carve himself a slingshot in the manga ( which I don't know if it's canon to the blog but still ), and he had pretty good endurance. I do think his natural desire to explore would eventually do him in; going where it isn't safe and having to run away from monsters and such... if that's part of the equation, I just naturally assumed you meant Hyrulean wilderness, which means monsters.

As far as fate goes, I'm unsure. He's a prophicized hero, so it would make sense that he does. I think, in both timelines, he thinks of it more as the Goddesses' Will than anything as strict as my understanding of Fate or Destiny. That's how I explain the Downfall Timeline; the Goddesses played a trick into the fight and caused Link to lose. Ocarina of Time's Zelda is called the 'princess of destiny' so it's a concept in Hyrule, but my Link isn't really of Hyrule... does the Circle of Life count as fate/destiny? I suppose the ultimate answer is yes, but it's not preordained. The gods simply decide things will happen as they come up.

Okay we're gonna talk violence now so if that bothers you don't click on the read more cool?

Cool. I can think of a couple of battles that would've been very bloody. He's also been in the events of Hyrule Warriors and Soul Calibur 2 so there's room to play around there. I'm gonna talk about a few that spring to mind and hope that satisfies your curiosity.

Starting off strong, I think the canonical bloodiest would be Volvagia's fight in OoT. He was literally smashing in the dragon's head with a hammer. Realistically that would be pretty bloody and grotesque; Volvagia's skull should be nothing but mush after all that.

Sticking with OoT, his fight with Ganondorf actually has blood in it so there's also that to put forward. I think the fight with Ganon would've been a terrible battle, with Link slowly running out of option to do damage to the best until Zelda was able to do her thing. I like to think that Ganon's tail was a bleeding, broken mess from all the abuse it took from Link trying to kill him by exploiting that particular weak spot. Cutting right into someone's head is also pretty hardcore...

Finally for this post, I'd like to say that Fierce Deity finishing off Majora would've also been pretty hardcore. Just cold butchery; slicing up the demonic mask like so much butter until it stops moving and even then stamping on the pieces until Tatl was able to snap him out of it long enough to take off the mask... this blog's interpretation of Majora's Mask goes a little darker.
