i am having certain thoughts about udad

"long ago i sought to share it, the death might not be mine alone. but the labyrinth spawn, they could not bear it"

ulysses had gone to hades before, some time before the war (they were much more hopeful at the time), trying to make the vault more accessible, trying to share the gift of a proper, final death. but of course, that would make bad business for hades, and they still had some things they wanted to do so of course they declined. they let ulysses go maybe with a few threats, some bargaining, but over all nothing big, so long as ulysses kept quiet. they did end up putting cameras throughout the area just to be sure, but something in them knew they needed to keep this for later. and eventually that time came around.

not sure if this has already been thought of or anything but i think its kinda cool.

Something something disembodied voices experiencing horrors :)

Of course it was fucking Grian to say this and make him snap out of his blind murderous rage IT HAD TO BE FUCKING GRIAN IT HAD TO BE HIM-

i haven't watched pearl's episode yet. but there's something to be said about the fact that she knew scar well enough to know that, when it was the two of them, he would have too much pride to accept a sacrifice.

she doesn't want to win, and she tells him at first before she quietly tucks that secret back into its shell after scar's indignant reaction to her first attempt at self-sacrifice. she lets scar forget about it as they kill gem, and then as scar kills pearl. at no point does she try to say here, let me give this to you. she knows scar, but she also knows the pain of an ending like that.

but she misses a few swings, doesn't she? her legs don't move as quickly to duck away from his arrows. and isn't that familiar? isn't that something like a cactus ring, with two unrelenting fists and two half-hearted ones: a fight with two unwilling participants, a fight that was over before it ever really began at the insistence of one of its patrons

pearl is all too familiar with the sting of sacrifice, but then on the other side of things... scar knows all too well the tragedy of gifted victory, doesn't he?

go now, start running

i feel like theres something to be said about how both scar and pearl were knocked off a cliff, and they both essentially let it happen as a sacrifice.
