Spoiler for Hades 2, specifically for Odysseus interactions

I’m sooooo happy that Hades tackle OdyPen breaking up more on par with my imagination. They very clearly show Odysseus love Penelope and his family, his main motivation to fight through the war and his journey is being with his family again.

The way Penelope is mentioned pretty regularly and it’s hinted that she’s deep below seems to me we might mend them back together like PatroAchi or OrpheEury in the previous game.

I’m still not happy about broken up OdyPen but this is the most in character way I can see it happened. And Odysseus is also clearly never gotten over his divorce (lmao). So excited for the early access and the game coming out ><

Believing in rom-communism is all about believing that everything is going to work out in the end... Now, it may not work out how you think it will, or how you hope it does, but, believe me, it will all work out.

Six Sentence Sunday

Too lazy to make a banner. Thank you @kurtsascot for tagging me! The klaine hsm au is coming along. I think the only reason for the delay is because I still haven't come up with a title for it. I've been jokingly calling it High School Gleesical, but I really don't want that to be the final title. No hsm au snippet today though, at this point I fear I'm going to spoil the whole first chapter. Instead I thought I would share a klaine wip that's just been wasting away on my computer file for like year. It's based on the movie Seventeen Again (the one with tia and tamera mowry, not the zac efron one). So, yeah I hope you like elderly divorced klaine.

Soon, it was just Kurt and Blaine in the garage alone. Blaine decided to be the first to break the silence as he knew Kurt wouldn't do it.  

"Are you going to ignore me all week Kurt?" 

Kurt turns to face him. "How can I? You always need to be the center of attention."  

"No one asked you to come here this week. A man can't even visit his own grandkids without getting into a fight with his ex-husband." 

"They're my grandkids just as much as they are yours. Probably more so since they share my DNA." 

Blaine gapes at Kurt's statement. He lets out a humorless laugh. "Yep. Same old bitter man." 

Kurt glares at Blaine. "Looking at the same old selfish man."

sitting in my room for a half hour thinking about how if we lived in a better world Ada Wong would be the Ilsa Faust of Resident Evil (primarily in how she's introduced in Rogue Nation), with a dynamic to leon not unlike Fujiko Mine's and Lupin's in which they are both extremely competent and in situations in which they may have to work against and occasionally with each other on a mission, but ultimately are forced to stay apart and while they may be apart and even have different love interests from each other, ultimately still care deeply for one another. They are compelled to go after each other in part because it's so difficult and they are so often in circumstances in which they can't be with each other. The thrill of the chase and all that.

Ada being only tangentially related to the other character's stories because the world is simply larger than them and she has her own concerns and problems to deal with, and to have that be given any care or weight in a story, let alone focus. That she can be cunning and even manipulative but because she needs to and will still choose not to when the chips are down because she is genuinely caring--which I know none of that is new ground for her but I wish it was done in a more interesting way and *without leon at all*. She chooses to show mercy in a key point not because she's in love with that other character.

And also that she has more personality. I dig the subdued nature of her in 4r and her subtle sarcasm but it's just crumbs. I want her to be silly on occasion and say dumb jokes because she's alone like in 2r. I want her to shed a bit of that seriousness when she's on the clock because she's confident in herself as a professional and again has no one to put up a façade to.

It's honestly kinda embarrassing reading this back as I realize most of what I'm writing is not only already present in the games but incredibly tropey in and of itself, and wouldn't improve the character much. Dear god I think too much of my view of the character has been marred by shallow fanworks depicting her. I think if anything it's a sign that:

I'm a shit writer and need to do way more than watch movies and gesture vaguely at them to come up w a decent story or character (that being said as much as I prefer Fallout as a film, I stand by my earlier statement of Ilsa Faust being the ideal spy woman as she's depicted in Rogue Nation as she has a distinct set of goals and needs that are complex and developed largely tangentially to the protagonist's, at least initially).

It's going to take a completely new approach to her character to get something remotely interesting and that takes advantage of her potential.

For as mired in tropes as she and every other character and story in Resident Evil is, Ada could be far more memorable and enjoyable if only there was more care and effort to giver at least some interests and goals (perhaps even...characterization) on her own other than being a sexy love interest and potentially traitorous (as so many femme fatales already are).
