I think one of the most interesting thing about the use of “Ruthlessness” in The Underworld Saga is that in that song Poseidon is …. wrong. the line “you totally could’ve avoided all this if you’d just kill my son” is technically correct, but wasn’t Odysseus’ only option.
What actually lead to his death was his hubris - Gods in Greek Mythology aren’t omnipotent, so if Odysseus didn’t give him name, address and credit card info to the cyclops, then Poseidon wouldnt have been able to track him down and the rest wouldn’t have happened.
idk i think his character is so interesting and i think the musical does such a good just capturing it in the lyricism because like ,,,,, yeah idk this musical has been rotting my brain
Putting my Favorite Characters in Hades Part 2: Hunter from The Owl House
Power description, Chthonic Companion, and a Better Look below:
okay this guys a lil different bc i see him like a mini boss that would show up at the fountain in Elysium starting after you beat Hades the “final” time. Sorta like how Hunter reacted to Luz saying the emperor was a lil bitch, he “wouldn’t believe” Zag actually beat Hades.
His powers would be similar to that shade in Tartarus that can teleport. However, after some dialogue Zag and him would build a relationship and you’d no longer have to fight him. Does that make any sense? Just making Elysium even worse than it is 🫡
Anyways, Hunter would stop fighting you and instead tell you fun facts about wolves and give you his homemade Chthonic Companion: Flapjack! I think it would be a timed session of like 5-10 seconds that how much damage you cause is proportional to how much health you get back.
Anyways, here’s a better look at Hunter! I gave him the cast crystal as part of the staff and covered him in that symbol to really show his dedication to the cause 🫡🫡
Putting My Favorite Characters in Hades Part 1: Danny Phantom
More info below!
Okay I REALLY like this style and so i’m excited to do a lot more characters but here’s what I’m thinking:
The upgrade Danny would give Zag would be sorta a mix between Zeus’ and Dionysus - like a fire charge that would hurt the monsters for a bit after the initial strike. Think the magma damage, but green.
ALSO CUJO AS A CHTHONIC COMPANION !!! He would do similar damage as Megara, but it would be a Ghostly Wail that damages all foes in a cone shape.
also also better look at King Danny :D
If you made it this far, comment what character I should do next!
i attempted to do something in the Hades style - I understand the shading, but the random bursts of colors they put in still confuse me - but ill keep trying! i really like this shading style
This was a huge pain in the butt to get done, that background fought me. I’m pleased with what I’ve done though.
I’m wondering if star magic and dark magic are somewhat connected in some way and the path Callum seems to be taking (more forced to take given what happened in S5) gave me the idea to draw him falling from primal sky magic, the one thing he wanted to do because it felt right, into a mix of dark (and star magic if they are indeed connected), something he doesn’t want to do but ultimately has to to save the people he cares about.
i watched one (1) video on how to draw hands that changed my life forever. like. i can suddenly draw hands again
these were all drawn without reference btw. i can just. Understand Hands now (for the most part, im sure theres definitely inaccuracies). im a little baffled
uh ok I just started watching lego monkie kid for the first time ever in my life cuz I made myself dinner but I couldn't think of anything to watch and I decided to finally check this show out and I'm only ONE MINUTE in and I swear my ears may be deceiving me (as they do often #auditory processing issues✌️) but TELL ME WHY
each like black and white still is based off of a certain line in my fave songs from the musical bc akhsksnsjaka i love this sm
Lines:
Open Arms: “That’s what we’d get with open arms…”
Just a Man: “Deep down i would trade the world to see my son and wife”
Done For: “You and I are now evenly matched || our fates are intertwined their attached”
Keep Your Friends Close: “I keep trying to embrace you both, why won’t you let me (just keep your eyes open) || So much has changed, but I’m the same, yes I’m the same!”
The Horse and the Infant: “I know that I’m ready (I don’t think you’re ready”
Remember Them: “My friend is dead, our foe is blind || The blood we shed it never dries!”
Puppeteer: “Of course I’d like to leave now, of course I’d like to run! || But I can hardly sleep now, knowing everything Id done”
Do you like tragedies, and even the best (or worst) of intentions leading to ruin? Are you interested in how Aaravos my manipulate Callum next season, or how his love for this loved ones may manifest even years later post canon? Then Snake Boi Callum Week 2.0 (the hiss strikes back) is the fandom event for you!
Last autumn the fandom had an event to celebrate and explore some of Callum's most interesting traits — his obsession with magic, his deep love and protectiveness over Ezran and Rayla, his sometimes icy and explosive temper, his fear of Aaravos controlling his destiny, and just about anything else that makes Callum, well, Callum.
As such and by popular demand, we're having another one. Just like last time, all forms of creation are welcome including works that explore darker or more intense material, provided they're rated and tagged accordingly.
Just like last time the usual components of Snake Boi Callum (i.e. Ezran and Rayla alone being his inner circle) are just suggestions (you want to add Soren or Sarai, or anyone else? Go for it!) as are the prompts for the week. Like before, they take inspiration from concepts / quotes from the show itself, common turns of phrase, and quotes from the novelizations.
Sunday May 12th: Prince (feel free to take insp from Machiavelli's work by the same name!) / Pieces
Monday May 13th: Snakes / Stars
Tuesday May 14th: High Mage / But Rayla Was In Trouble ( * Rayla specific prompt but if you wanna rework it, go for it)
Wednesday May 15th: As the Ocean Is Deep
Thursday May 16th: Goeth Before the Fall
Friday May 17th: King / You Mean Everything To Me (* Ezran specific prompts but can go any direction ofc)
Saturday May 18th: Darkness / Light
If you have any questions, don't hesitate to DM or send me an ask! Tags will be "Snake Boi Callum," "Snake Boi Callum Week," and "Snake Boi Callum week 2.0".
