I Love The Way Everyone Treats Melinoe In Hades 2, But It Also Feels VERY Accurate For Toxic Family Relationships.

I love the way everyone treats Melinoe in Hades 2, but it also feels VERY accurate for toxic family relationships.

The older kids (Zagreus in this case) get the worst of it, and are often treated with either disdain or ignored (even Homer refers to him as “the lazy prince” or “the blundering prince” and so on). Of course Zagreus fixes the family, after dealing with everyone’s seemingly inherent disdain and anger at his existence and time (ha) goes on…

And then we get to the younger sibling, Melinoe, and she’s the light of everyone’s life. Even Homer narrates her differently - with more a positive spin, awe almost.

Love it, so many layers to it. She’ll never know the disdain everyone had for Zagreus - and that must be bittersweet for him.

The sorcerous Melinoë gazes with intensity toward her goal - and the audience! She's determined, focused, and powerful. Hecate, Melinoë's mentor, can be seen in the distance wielding her torches and gazing towards the moon. Standing on the precipice of the Crossroads with back turned, she is flanked by her trusty familiars, a hound and a polecat.

Happy Pride to my eladrin Ithmaris Caesin, who for the last two Junes in a row has had deep, impactful conversations with her love interest where their love interested has tried desperately to communicate the importance of Mar valuing her own life, so that she stays alive, because damnit people CARE about her, and it is because of said love interest that Mar has something to live for for the first time in their life and even as Ithmaris is crushed under the weight of loss and grief and guilt and the utter destruction of losing herself, even then, there is a ship guiding her safely to harbor and it is holding her hand and making her lunch and risking everything she's made for a chance at helping Ithmaris get her mother back.

characters with no moral code are a lot of fun but characters with their own specific moral code that doesn’t align with the rest of the/their world are on another level always

My name is Tala Nassar, I'm 17 years old from Gaza.

My mother is in critical medical condition. She was previously diagnosed with breast cancer in her left breast.

Her condition is indescribably serious, and her diagnosis worsens day by day. This situation has been exacerbated by the recent bombings and ground invasion of our area in Nusairat. Her condition has deteriorated further due to the toxic gases from bombs dropped just meters away from our home, and even from the smoke resulting from cooking over an open fire due to the lack of gas.

We have been displaced to the city of Rafah and are still living in makeshift tents, and she has not received any treatment since the beginning of the aggression on Gaza. The only cancer hospital in Gaza has been completely destroyed for a long time. Her weakened immune system and diabetes make matters worse, as finding any medication at the moment is impossible. We are incredibly afraid of the possibility of a malignant tumor or something worse occurring.

Please help us. We desperately need medical assistance for my mother, and time is running out for us. Your support can make a difference in saving her life.
