The Genshin X Mcdonald’s Colab Is Just Even More Evidence In Favor Of Hoyoverse’s Racism.

saw an absolutely hilarious animal crossing theory that i now 100% accept and it’s that in the animal crossing world, humans are going extinct, and so all the animals have locked you in an elaborate zoo enclosure and are trying to give you enrichment. and that’s why they give you infinite pointless tasks, hide money in trees and rocks, invented debt that doesnt matter etc. it’s why they always act so happy to see you even after you raze the entire island, relocate their houses twice, and always act so pleased about your choices no matter what. it’s all to keep their little endangered human healthy and enriched. and thinking of it this way has genuinely improved my experience of the game

while i do love the idea of ares jumping in to help odysseus beat poseidon, i also love the idea of it being hades instead

like hes so damn tired of the olympians playing "will he die or wont he" and is also pissed at poseidon because hes the one who had to do all the paperwork after poseidon decided to go and drown so many men at once (not to mention hades just also generally isnt nearly as ruthless as his brothers and probably thinks its fucked up to punish so many other men that didn't actually do shit?) and hes just been itching for some payback for it so hes just like "yknow what? heres some godly power to back all that rage youve got, go get him odysseus"

And they don't even pay her!

The next prime minister should be Princess Celestia

Idea from here

I actually like how Epic did Calypso.

It did not shy away from her dangerous/forceful nature in the previous saga and in this one she's just deeply non-sympathetic while compelling. Her vocals are overpowering Odysseus, she's overtaking the narrative. She shouldn't be but she is, and it fits her mythical character.

Not Sorry for Loving You is such a backwards "apology" and I love it because it fits Calypso perfectly. It's weird to say but I'm actually glad they didn't shy away from correctly portraying a character that never "learned to be better" in the original source.

Like, this is a Goddess, not a human. She does not have human morality, she is wrong for what she did to Odysseus. Her emotions are selfish, she's incapable of understanding that she hurt this mortal. She's convinced she's the one hurt and the world is unfair, and that's unreliable narration but it's so good.

Calypso I hate you and I love you.
