carefully-curated playlists designed to evoke certain vibes of each character. under 11 songs each.
thanatos | contemplative, melancholic, psychedelic, spooky, and a little bit sexy
megaera | burlesque, heavy guitar riffs, a dash of mystique, and a whole lot of attitude
zagreus | funky, punchy, emotive, with a twinge of distress. half of which are about fighting, half of which are about… you know.
melinoe | a dreamy collection that becomes increasingly nightmarish
nemesis (wip) | seething, seething, & seething (because you should be)
