HADES II gifs (8/?)

Your disregard is the very reason you're no longer fit to rule. I know you'll never relinquish this mountain; fall with it, then!

Melinoë to Medea: Hello, Woman Whose Entire Thing Is Cursing People She Doesn't Like, it's so nice to see you again! Have you been well? I feel so much better about my task working with people like you :)

Melinoë to Prometheus: Hello, Man Whose Entire Thing Is That He Felt Bad For Mortals, have I told you recently that your are the very lowest of scum to walk this Earth?

Prometheus Bound

[sandstochronos]

I thought Aetos could speak, since he had a name and Prometheus talks about him like he's human , such as when he says "Aetos here came around eventually", implying persuasion and the ability to understand (and therefore presumably respond to) speech, but it turns out Aetos literally just means 'eagle'.

Somebody somewhere (I'm guessing Zeus) really saw an eagle that could understand human speech and be trained to return to the same mountain every day for a meal, and decided they couldn't be bothered to name it anything more exciting than 'eagle'.

Miss me with those "Hades is so basic he named his dog Spot" posts, because Zeus is so basic he named his eagle Eagle.

I am positive this meme has been done already, but have it anyways:

“They made them a conveniently attractive twink omg ruined design yap yap”

FOOLS. ABSOLUTE DINGBATS YOU ALL ARE. CAN YOU NOT SEE ALL THE SYMBOLISM????

I will defend this design to the ends of the earth. Yes they’re hot, that’s merely a bonus.

1) that’s not a shirt that’s a fucking Galaxy under that suit. Mf has no body, just a vaguely body shaped void. Meaning floating head and hands that aren’t attached to anything. You take those clothes off and it’s the fucking void. They’re non binary AND sexless. Beyond any physical body, just shaped like it for fun.

2) the old bodies head dead in their hands and simultaneously birthing a foetus. That’s the circle of life, a rebirth, a metamorphosis. Chaos is above a god, they’re primordial. They don’t have a permanent appearance or identity. They’re ever changing. They look like this now, but if there were another game, they’d change again. They’re always changing, killing their old self and reshaping it. The wings have also moved and grown from the head to the back. Chaos expands indefinitely, bigger and unable to be contained in any way. They don’t even need wings, they can float. But they decided to have them anyway, just because. Because they can.

3) this is Ancient Greece. Suits don’t exist yet. Chaos took clothing from thousands of years in the future. They’re beyond time itself, they’re not effected by Chronos in any way. They’re in their own realm outside of time an space, they know things from the past, present and future.

4) the hair being the same colour as and long like many of their grandchildren, family resemblance there. Almost like they’re,,, missing them. Despite being this omnipresent being beyond human emotion, they still care in their own way. Copying them to feel some form of deeper connection.

5) the earth is an earring now. That’s how inconsequential it is to a being like chaos. It’s just there, an accessory, nothing special.

I could go on. Maybe I’m reading too deep into it but given the fact all the designs in the first and second games tend to have symbolism in them based on the myths the gods come from and what they represent, I don’t think I’m too insane for seeing symbolism here.

I'm fucking sorry...

DID HADES SENTENCE PROMETHEUS TO HAVE HIS LIVER EATEN OVER A FUCKING SCHOOLYARD TAUNT??!

Zeus: I have the most creative punishments, let me sentence him!

Hades: You have the most creative punishments? Hold my nectar.

LIKE IS THAT ACTUALLY HOW THE CONVERSATION WENT?!?

[sandstochronos]

Fascinating read!

If people are going to apply real world politics to Hades II I’m going to apply some philosophy. The God who has mistreated mortals the most is actually Prometheus being he’s the one to create humans. Human were birthed into lives of inescapable suffering and endless toil. Every mortal will suffer beyond things the gods do. Most everyday suffering humans endure has nothing to do with the gods. Humans are also extremely cruel to animals and other humans and there’s no one else to blame for that fact besides Prometheus because he created them to be this way. Prometheus created humans that are very cruel. The treatment of women in Ancient Greece was absolutely nightmarish. Their suffering was truly unimaginable. From a philosophical standpoint Prometheus is beyond cruel for creating mortals in the first place, especially mortal women, who will only know suffering and will be born into in a living hell because the other mortals Prometheus created and the fact he created mortals that suffer like women do. All suffering that humans and animals face because of other humans is the fault of Prometheus.

[sandstochronos]

I love everything about Hades2 but where the hells is Ares??

There is an all out war across the Greek pantheon and the horny for murder and war god himself hasn't shown his face yet??

I really hope SuperGiant keeps him as a launch day surprise because otherwise I'd be so sad 😞

Until then:

Have my version of Ares for Hades2, rocking the Twin Fists -Gilgamesh version (because they maim on hit n i thought he'd like that 😏 ).
