more adventures in hades cleanup. Clicking on the link for Achilles’ VA to find out he voices exactly 50% of male characters in the game

#kelsey liveblogs hades #this guy is carrying. he’s got all the charismatic heavy hitters #I was going to say that he’s done a stellar job for making achilles (most annoying man in myth) into a believable jaded mentor #but with everything else on top of that? extraordinary

Megaera and Thanatos’ miniroutes feel really fitting to them both just as stories beyond BioWare ‘I love you insert-name-here’ and as stories that work with Megaera being the girl option and Thanatos the boy option. Meg and Zag’s chief obstacle is expectation. Their prior relationship creates outside expectation of how they should act towards one another. Meg’s place as guard means her expected role is to oppose Zag directly. She doesn’t dislike or resent her duty at all, but what she does do is bristle against Zag’s assumptions that they’re on even terms because they used to be together.

Rather than pushing him away out of pure tsun, she wants their relationship to be Zag’s active choice and will instead of just inertia. Fits with the heterosexual subtext of their relationship. Women and men are expected to get involved if they’re roughly the same age/shape/location. Your mom keeps telling you to get a boyfriend. Dating can feel as perfunctory as a job application. Meg’s fear is that her very real care for a friend is just going to shrivel up in the face of ‘well we may as well be together since that’s what we’re supposed to do.’ It works.

#kelsey liveblogs hades #or at least that’s how it reads to me #the text (we are being pushed together because of my job and your dad and our past)#echoes the subtext (if you’re a girl you need to date the nearest available guy Because)#so that makes it poignant that they DO want to be together but Meg’s too cynical to read Zag’s pursuit as genuine or meaningful #ditto Thanatos. this time the text is (I’m such a workaholic that we didn’t really notice the intensity until we were separated forever)#and it echoes the subtext of (being attracted to another guy is just not really spoken or thought of #so it’s too easy to write off your relationship as just guys being dudes until some catastrophic friendship incident happens)

back in ye day (2020) I watched someone’s ongoing Hades dialogue clips, whoever it was quit (understandably) around the 1/3 mark. Coming back to someone’s very kindly prepared story compilation on youtube. May I say I was not prepared for the level of Persephone/Nyx threesome subtext

#kelsey liveblogs hades #'i was reminded of the nights we spent together' MADAME????

'but meg zag and than are all somehow related' my friend this is greek mythology. the fact that they managed to find love interests with more than one degree of separation is impressive

#Kelsey liveblogs hades #this is probably the funniest complaint I've seen
