no matter how fucking sad I am, any AO3 email never fails to makes my day a little brighter

Their dynamic is everything 😭

AU where instead of fist-fighting they just make pottery (their dynamic is otherwise unchanged).

"I'm pretty sure she loves you too." "Oh. Did she... say something?" "Yes. Yes, she confessed it while we were braiding each other's hair and talking about you."

"The worst she can say is no" Bro.

Also,

Love seeing this 300lb bird be thrown around like a ragdoll

writing dialogue is just advanced theater where you play every role and silently judge yourself as the audience.

“At that point, I knew I had to step up my game.”

(HC that they used each other’s full names for awhile)

something about angels?

The Olympic Update just dropped and I have a new brainrot 🫣 Supergiant's work is phenomenal (and GOD the OST!!!)

I'm going to eat cement.

this is about procrastinating. or executive dysfunction. i think

when i learned that prometheus is voiced by ben starr i knew what i had to do

Thinking about Prometheus burning his right arm to give fire to mortalkind and Melinoe losing her left arm to make Icarus whole (again)

God I have so much to say about Melinoe's characterization, and the fasinating implications about her future arc/the overarching plot of hades 2. I want to make a larger think piece with pictures but for the moment I'm just going to focus on this one specific thread.

In the wake of the Prometheus reveal, she has a slew of convos about his motivations for siding with Chronos, and the gods basically all go: this is his vengeance for us punishing him a tad cruelly. And Nemesis is like, yeah the gods 100% deserve it. But Meli's responds that he must have more motivation than just vengeance, it can't just be that. But when Prometheus explicitly goes, 'I'm doing this because the gods are horrible to humanity and I love humans,' she basically goes, no he must be lying. That motivation is both too pure, but also humans kind of suck why would you care about them?

Mel's humanity hot takes deserve it's own essay (Ms I think Humans should have never gotten fire and are better when they are dead), and I just want to focus on the former for now. She can not comprehend that Prometheus is fighting the gods for noble reasons. It just does not make sense to her. Mel's world is so black and white. She doesn't understand the nuance of the situation, and the thought that the gods might be actually in the wrong doesn't even get close to crossing her mind.

It's a fascinating (and horrifying) result of her upbringing. Of the constant state of war and the very convenient big bad that is Chronos, the evil monster who stole her family. If she accepts that his side isn't completely evil, that they might even be right in some (even many) respects, she would have to grapple with her whole life. Everything she believes would be thrown into question, the literal thing she was training her whole life for.

She can't have Prometheus fighting for a noble cause, because he fights for Chronos whose the Bad Guy tm. But he also can't be fighting for something as simple as vengeance, because that would also mean she would need to really think about what he's angry about. If the punishment was truly so unnecessary cruel.

When talking to Odysseus about Prometheus, when Ody's saying how much he respected him for stealing the fire despite knowing the consequences, Mel says that it was the price to be paid for breaking Olympus's decree. To her, Olympus's rules are sacred and ultimately good. Unquestionably. Prometheus broke the rules with intent, so to her, why would he be so angry at the consequences? Especially if he knew because of his power they were going to happen.

So he must have another reason, some secret machiavellian plan that drives him. Except as I already said, it brings her right back to him doing it for humanity, which she also can't accept. Because that would be admiting that the gods did something wrong to humans. She twists herself into knots to justify her worldview, and it's fascinating! She's so messy I adore her.

Please Supergiant please the final surface boss has to be a human pleeeaaasse (preferably a living one). Or at least have one (or more) show up in some other capacity. Mel needs to come face to face with the other side and have it utterly destroy her worldview.

And/or have (Pan)Dora betray her for Prometheus, that would also be very fun haha.

“Lifetimes ago, I long saw the fall of gods, and with it, the rise of humans."

Ah yes. Part 2 of naming animal companions their animal names 😂

Any laborer of skill cares for their work

The subtle emotions just from one eye is *chef’s kiss*

To think TCO would soften a bit with Orange makes me go jumping on the ceiling. To think all of TCO's repressed emotions in the sake of survival just deflates and released once Orange was there. To think Orange willingly fight a 4v1 battle in order to keep TCO safe when he coulda just ran away and leave him. Brothers ever 😭😭😭

Wow he sure has ‘a lot on his plate’

The list of things I noticed:

1. In every panel of Chosen, he is tied down by the blue rope except in the last when it’s the Skittles Gang across the table

2. MINECRAFT CAKE

3. The blood on his knife and himself when asked “what is freedom to you”

4. The 4 mercenaries behind victim except their heads are all eyes

5. THE EYE MOTIFS. Everyone’s looking at Chosen (even the plate in the first panel and the fishes) except for the Skittles Gang

6. The growing vines on one side of the table is curled and full of life. On the other, they’re limp and flat on the table.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY THE CHOSEN ONE

I'm late (again) to the party but y'know what they say. Better be late than sorry

Also wjdbeh it's been a while since I do these kind of comic style. I LOVE symbolism. Absolutely adore them. And I put A LOT in this one. From the flower language on Alan's frame, what the green light/objects are symbolising, etc. This is for my fellow symbolism enjoyers out there, have fun interperting 🎉
