The Essential Toushindai (Hades Fic)

Being an overview of which of my Hades fanfiction are most significant: both those which I recommend most highly, and those which I feel offer the most considerable insight into my interpretations of the characters.

My favorite stories to examine are the relationship between Megaera and Zagreus (both pre-canon and during canon) and how the two of them communicate through kink; and the three-way relationship that develops between Megaera, Zagreus, and Thanatos, with primarily friendship between Meg and Than--a friendship which their developing relationships with Zagreus tested but ultimately made stronger.

takumi posted about the showcase on twitter today (relevant tweet 1, relevant tweet 2) and from the sounds of it he delivered the speech in english because he heard the capcom showcase had more overseas viewers than japanese viewers last time. so he asked janet hsu to translate a speech for him and record it, and then listened to it morning to night for two weeks so he could repeat it by memory at the showcase. he even made notes to try and get the cadence of it down.

all for the experience of us turning on the capcom showcase and going "oh! I didn't know takumi could speak english!" and he can't he just memorized a script to pitch ghost trick in english because he thought it would be interesting to overseas viewers. this guy really operates on an entirely different brain level from most people and I have so much respect for him

A Certain Nobility of Character

Rauru/Ganondorf, rated E, 6.2k

It's easy to be a just king when your subjects are well-disposed to you; it's easy to be a noble person when your desires align with your values.

Ganondorf makes things difficult for Rauru.

Do please mind the tags and warnings on this one, but if it's to your taste then I hope you enjoy it because the dynamic between these two lit my brain on fire.

Sounds great! Let me just see what I’ve got on my bookshelf

Wow… Looks interesting! I wonder if I could learn anything from it.

You would have this at your disposal wouldn't you you impish clown

[ID: a photograph of a book titled "Tomfoolery: Trickery and Foolery with Words." Additional text includes "Collected from American folklore by Alvin Schwartz, Illustrated by Glen Rounds." The cover is yellow, with drawing of a man gesticulating and holding a cane. One of his feet is in a bucket. A snake curls around a sign with arrows pointing in either direction.]

fanfiction is like. here's a piece of my soul! here's the parts of me i didn't know what else to do with! i wrapped them up in something i love in an attempt to understand my own feelings and morals and maybe the whole world. hope you like it.

And in these next 50 years you will eat so many delicious meals, laugh so many times with so many people you love, shout and scream and sing and cry and smile so hard your face hurts. And you will see such beautiful sunsets and feel fresh cold air on your face and feel warm and safe wrapped up in your favourite winter coat.

I wrap this blessing around you like a shroud, so that no ill can find you, and every warmth is held close

I’m crying.
