Going back to Zag's romantic relationships from Mel is extremely hilarious to me because of how comparatively well-adjusted he was.
Sure he done fucked up with Meg in the past and they had to kill each other as part of the job description, his sudden leaving seriously hurt Than while also having communication issues w/ each other, and there's the matter of Dusa being a lowly servant of the House. But in the end, he sorted everything out with 0 grievances from all parties involved (that one dialogue where Than admits Meg is the one who tells him to finally pursue Zag seriously warms my heart). Got the Mom(s) Seal of Approval™ even, and from Achilles too!
Meanwhile I look at Melinoë and she has a frankly criminal amount of situationships. Her rizz level is insane and she goes straight for the throat when flirting yet somehow her dating life is simultaneously a mess and nonexistent. Nemesis regularly kicks her into the dirt verbally AND physically but is the only person to acknowledge how fucked up it is that Mel is sent out alone in the hopes of killing an all powerful Titan that took SIX gods to kill in the past. "Fuck you and fuck your stupid frog in particular" then turns around and gives free Death Defiances. Her and Moros try to flirt with each other but they kept missing the mark because sometimes one of them says something totally unhinged like it was normal (I don't think watching people die is an appropriate bathtime conversation topic, my man). Her and Eris are a hot mess—literally with all those rounds she shot at Mel AND without a basis of workplace professionalism. Icarus is one shot nerve away from accidentally proclaiming his undying (literally) love to her but his guilt complex is hanging on to that nerve. And then there's Arachne and her not so little crush warring with the fact that said crush is family with and is helping the gods who cursed her.
Never have I realized how important it is that Zag has become a minor god of relationship counselling until I look at his baby sister and think, "yeah girl you definitely need help for all that shit".

It’s wild to me that Supergiant Games can make probably one of the hottest character designs I’ve ever seen before and people are going to get upset that it “doesn’t fit the character”, like shut the fuck up they have given you a blessing, you know not the privilege we have been granted.

my favorite little hades 2 tidbits so far:
the fact that melinoe can seemingly understand everything charon is trying to say even though zag was just like 'uh. so true bestie' every time he said anything
the little shades that follow melinoe around in camp like ducklings
the conversation between melinoe and odysseus where they're like man if only there was some sort of word for something thats like a spiritual adventure/quest/journey to describe what were doing right now

HYPNOS POSTING YEEAAHHH
I’ve only watched others play through this game cuz I want to wait until the full release to play it lol hopefully by then he would be more involved in the plot
Also I’m a sucker for doomed siblings let me have this angst for a while, tbh I think Hades would just have Hypnos wake up in a comedic fashion

HADES II: Erebus
The lost souls that dwell there have nowhere else to go. They are well past the point where grieving for them is of any use.

Honestly the funniest possible outcome of Mel entering Zag's room and repeatedly dying would be if Zagreus just hates his sibling coming without knocking so he yeets her out of there in a truly brotherly fashion XD
