I hate hades 2 for making me be friends with odysseus

#veteran tactician more like veteran asshole #what do you mean i have to give this guy my hard earned nectar #he doesn’t deserve it #hades 2 #odysseus #hades

I like to think that making friendship bracelets in a coffeehouse connects me by the threads to Penelope, Andromache, Philomela…all the great weaving women of the ancient world

#not limited to these three of course #lots of world mythologies have famous weavers and it’s a cool rabbit hole to go down #fiber arts have long been the connection of women in lore and life #anyway #classics

In the middle of the year I downloaded "Hades" and I still love the graphics, dialogues, voice actors, characters, props, locations, SOUNDTRACK. It's sooooo good!

This is Hypnos… there are a ton of incredible characters, but this boy!

#this is so phenomenal #my favorite boy #Hypnos

"And down in Hades, your father will care for all the rest" -from Euripides' "The Trojan Women"

I will never be free of the Hector sadness. also Scamandrius was technically the last king of Troy which is something I think about sometimes and feel normal and sane.

#STOP IT OMG #I can’t believe I am just finding this now #this is so good #Astyanax was literally the last hope for the Trojans #Troy died with him #astyanax #I love this Hector with long hair also #I am also normal and sane about this trust
