“They made them a conveniently attractive twink omg ruined design yap yap”
FOOLS. ABSOLUTE DINGBATS YOU ALL ARE. CAN YOU NOT SEE ALL THE SYMBOLISM????
I will defend this design to the ends of the earth. Yes they’re hot, that’s merely a bonus.
1) that’s not a shirt that’s a fucking Galaxy under that suit. Mf has no body, just a vaguely body shaped void. Meaning floating head and hands that aren’t attached to anything. You take those clothes off and it’s the fucking void. They’re non binary AND sexless. Beyond any physical body, just shaped like it for fun.
2) the old bodies head dead in their hands and simultaneously birthing a foetus. That’s the circle of life, a rebirth, a metamorphosis. Chaos is above a god, they’re primordial. They don’t have a permanent appearance or identity. They’re ever changing. They look like this now, but if there were another game, they’d change again. They’re always changing, killing their old self and reshaping it. The wings have also moved and grown from the head to the back. Chaos expands indefinitely, bigger and unable to be contained in any way. They don’t even need wings, they can float. But they decided to have them anyway, just because. Because they can.
3) this is Ancient Greece. Suits don’t exist yet. Chaos took clothing from thousands of years in the future. They’re beyond time itself, they’re not effected by Chronos in any way. They’re in their own realm outside of time an space, they know things from the past, present and future.
4) the hair being the same colour as and long like many of their grandchildren, family resemblance there. Almost like they’re,,, missing them. Despite being this omnipresent being beyond human emotion, they still care in their own way. Copying them to feel some form of deeper connection.
5) the earth is an earring now. That’s how inconsequential it is to a being like chaos. It’s just there, an accessory, nothing special.
I could go on. Maybe I’m reading too deep into it but given the fact all the designs in the first and second games tend to have symbolism in them based on the myths the gods come from and what they represent, I don’t think I’m too insane for seeing symbolism here.

-. ODYSSEUS brainrot~ Supergiant Games' Hades verse, bAYBAY ONE DRAFT, AT LEAST, I could end up scraping it for something entirely different or make 4960569854096 of these, idk-
Obviously Odysseus is exactly the type of bitch who would land his ass in Elysium, as such, he is a warrior that can be encountered in the beautiful grassy planes of the last layer of the Underworld before the temple.
BUT GET THIS... his location isn't fixed. Odysseus is never to be found at an exact chamber, in a similar fashion to Thanatos' wildly randomised spawning, Odysseus will appear at random in any given Elysium chamber (I debated putting him in the temple instead because there's one character per area,, but idk--). This for various reasons:
He is the forever wanderer, his is the Odyssey we reference when we insinuate long travels, as such he shan't cease to move in death, either.
He dies before Penelope, before Telemachus, before those he cared for, and without his family, without his wife, he is simply far too restless to sit somewhere (he's looking for them, maybe?)
He has no intentions of fucking with the other warriors or to fight, he doesn't want to meet the likes of Theseus or be roped into stopping the prince's escapes, so he keeps moving, lest someone he doesn't want to encounter shows.
I can't decide whether I'd want his presence in the next chamber to be told by the symbol on the door or to keep it Than style where you get whatever item you chose and some bonus from him, but the latter would suit the game better mayhaps.
Maybe his spawning will also be similar to Than in the sense that he alters how the encounter functions, where Than challenges, perhaps Odysseus will throw strategies at you idk-- Wily Odysseus, ya know
I'm debating, but what if he could give items as well, kind of like Patroclus' two other items (you know, besides the Kiss of Styx Premium, my eternal life-saver lmao) that affect encounters:
Lotus Wine - A lotus-tainted jug of wine that applies a Dionysus-boon-like effect to your attack that slows your enemy down and temporarily blinds them to your presence (lasts 10 encounters).
Wooden Helmet - Shaped oddly to resemble a horse, leaves you completely undetected from all enemies until you land the first hit on them (lasts 10 encounters).
Molly Bracelet - A teeny garland of molly, will apply a 20% damage resistance against witches, butterflies, poison as well as Madness boons (lasts 10 encounters).
Obviously you can give him nectar and I think his keepsake would be called something like Forlorn Travels and it looks like a little leather-bag meant to resemble Aeolus' wind bag tied close with the string of his bow and a piece of Penelope's yarn, that I THINK (still debating here) will have an effect on chambers where it will increase the chances of stumbling upon Daedalus hammers, Centaur hearts, Gems, Keys, Coins, (Darkness? mayhaps--) but lower the frequency of Boons, as though the 'winds' are guiding you (away from Gods, similar to Sisyphus' who works on attack/special/cast you don't have a boon for).
Travelling with Odysseus' keepsake (and increasing your relationship with him) will spawn interesting convos with Athena, Poseidon, and Zeus above all else, and of course Hermes whom is not only involved with Odysseus but also always knows all the tea, anyway (I love when he compliments me for beating my best time, but can he not tease me for timing myself).
His favour could have something to do with Penelope? His could be a reuniting favour like Achilles/Patroclus and Orpheus/Eurydice, but that would mean also designing Penelope's existence in the game which I'm too lazy to do. But it should be something like that.
ive started a silly lil jon doodle page
i need ideas 🙏
I really hope this us then case and not that he cheated on her 😭😭
has anyone gotten the idea that odysseus' storyline in hades 2 is a depiction/exploration of trauma over his SA and how he's blaming himself for things that were out of his control? because that's the impression i'm getting from what i've seen. he talks about "goddesses" as his "greatest weakness" and that "he's not one to say no to them"...
when mel invites him to the bath, he brings up mortals having different standards for intimacy than gods and how it usually has a more romantic/sexual connotation. she then asks if he's uncomfortable and he has a startled reaction and brings up circe and calypso again (but never actually by name)
(this isn't ship/romance bait btw. odysseus knew mel as a kid and they're stated in-game to have a sibling/uncle-niece relationship)
also he grew apart from penelope after his return, but the game makes a point of showing that his love for penelope and telemachus is what drove him on at all so that element of his character isn't brought into question
I NEED TO STOP BEING SAD ABOUT MYTHICAL MEN!!! SOMEONE STOP ME PLEASE!!! AHHHHH!!!
