oh OH DO WE WANNA GO?
the dialogue that would result from this...
the absolutely beeeee-aUTIFUL art the supergiant team could conjure...
Hypnos: "Weighted Blanket Cape" : reduces movement but causes less damage in the back
Cerberus: "Spiked Belt" (It was a collar but the dread prince's neck is too small for it) : close proximity to enemies while dashing will cause slashing damage
Charon: "Stygian Hat of Shades... hah" : Larger hitbox but thrown projectiles from above give less damage.
"Oh hello boss! It seems like my private associate has given you quite Ithe accessory. I'd say keep it in tip top shape, or I might have to deliver that with more than just a heartfelt sorry."
Orpheus: "Merry Minstrel" (... it's a clown outfit): Makes you more prone to traps... cartoon physics but! ✨cartoon physics✨ aka. enemies who fall out of the bounds will be able to levitate before falling to their doom
Dionysus: "Party Rockers in the House TONIGHT(?)" (A silk croptop that is cut completely open in the back with a gold chain keeping it all together... business in the front, party in the back): More damage when attacked from behind... but increases movement and better chances at dodging whilst dashing.
Poseidon: "Hot Girl Summer(?)... wait what's summer?" (A combination of bright hawaiian shirt with a speedo): Better at dodging, more damage to Zagreus if exposed to lava
Aphrodite: "Look Like a Girl, Think Like a Guy" (A combination of a cloud covering his body or booty shorts that read "my eternal punishment on the back): Takes more damage but makes higher chances of good boons. Also (shoutout to my friend), idle animations have the cloud around his parts. If you're idle for too long, it disappears and shows off the shorts or he does the "birth of venus" pose
Asterius: honestly did not think of one but... I can feel Theseus getting shocked and going
"You- you sly BLACKARD, how dare you rob my dear Asterius of his noble garb. What monstrous intentions does a dread wretch like you have with wearing it?"
"Um- style?"
Hermes: "Shoes with Wings? Now that IS Awesome!": Added faster dash movement and has Charon make a comment along the lines of "Huhngghhh~" in a loving way
Sisyphus: "Bould-ed to the Ground": Reduces movement... but in a flow state allows you to make close enemy dashes with extra damage.
... Bouldy: "... I got a rock": a random amount of rocks you can use to distract enemies.
Every Hades encounter with a new accessory starts off with a variation of:
"What does my son pick up on his misadventures? Do you wish to hold onto keepsakes that you will inevitably lose in the blood?"
"*angry huff* "they. are. called. TRINKETS. FATHER. AND I WILL CHOKE THE LIFE OUT OF YOU WITH GRANDMA'S SWEATER" (Zagreus' sprite appears with a HIGH-turtle neck with a large cute pattern of people dying of the cold and starving)
I think Hades would be the best game of all time if there was a dress-up feature.
In this essay I will explain how dressing up Zagreus in stupid armor/ Nyx's dresses would be benef-
Adding to this post, imagine them being famous in the future.
Eddie becoming a rising star as soon as he gets out of Hawkins, his band corroded coffin entering the music scene and having massively popular songs. People are getting more intrigue for his past murder charges, but he gets easily defended once he gets a solid fan base (and the fact that he was absolved of those charges).
And Steve entering the acting scene at the same time, him and Robin being just some extras in a movie for the extra cash, but the director falls in love with the sibling-like duo, making them a cameo where Steve acts like a buffer, making the male character jealous so he can make a move.
It was a simple role, just a few minutes of screen with one-liners of dialogue, but to the surprise of everybody—except for Robin—Steve killed the role. Maybe it was his eyes that enamored everyone, his kicked puppy look or his smile, but he became the nation's sweetheart.
After that, he got cast for more minor roles, and little by little established himself as an actor, to the point of being the lead more frequently.
With that, the two of them are well established in their own fields, working hard and being well-known. So it's not rare that at some point they end up in the same event.
It could be anything, a festival, some awards, just a party of famous people—the point is, they are in a public space, surrounded by people that have no idea they know each other, and like an instinct, they act like swore enemies.
Their minds are so used to associate:
"being in public" + "hide true relationship and have fun" = "fake hate each other"
Becuase years of pulling that stunt in their teenagehood that like reflex they spit second-hand insults.
Like– they lock eyes on each other and instantly looked up and down in the bitchiest way possible. Honestly, at this point it has become their own weird way of flirting, the more vicious the comment the more they will drive the other crazy.
Of course, neither of them realize what they were doing until they both were making out in the bathroom, squirreling away from the vent, going to the closest hotel and waking up the next day with friends/acquaintances from their own jobs field asking for the latest gossip of the industry.
The way Robin would laugh her ass off, only to act like a toddler, pointing fingers and giggling at the two dinguses when they realize what they have done.
It was not intentional, and now everyone who was in the event thinks they hate each other's guts like old times.
The public doesn’t know yet, the reporters still not hearing about this until well-respected journalist, Nancy Wheeler (who has already written about each of them, one for Eddie and one for Steve), makes an article about their long complicated story.
(No, she isn't being petty, Mike, she just thinks it’s funny, and it’s not like she is lying, they do have a long and complicated story, it’s just a little to the left, she just isn't saying some things)
The next time someone interviews one of them, they are asking about the other, why they hate each other, if there’s some drama, why they didn't know they knew the other, etc.
Long story short, they pulled the same bit they did in school, but now by accident and to the whole country (and the world when they start getting more international).
They tried to clarify but fell on deaf ears, people thinking is just to safe face or keep appearances, after all the habit doesn’t quite go and they always ended up flirting with insults in every event they are together.
They definitely start to enjoying it and play along after a while.
Not only that, but they enjoyed it even more when years later, in a random day, they posted their X years wedding anniversary photos with their family.
Everyone lost their shit after that.
