I literally found your channel 20 minutes ago and you were playing hades. When I tell you I wheezed so hard a bust a lung I mean it. Subscribed instantly. And now you bless my unholy peepers with ANOTHER video. I’m so happy.
Fun fact! In greek mythology Zagreus is the son of Persephone and Hades and over time slowly turned into Dionysus Edit: look up osp's video on Dionysus if you want more info
Funny you should mention that. I actually got a scene where Dionysus tells Zagreus to make up something funny to tell Orpheus, and he tells him how he and Dionysus are one and the same. Zag tries to explain that it's a joke, but Orpheus buys it completely and uses it to write a hymn about Zag.
@@kontrol42 I think it was Orphic Dyonisus, another epithet, who's been crushed by Titans, and then he was reformed inside a human woman or something, I don't remember well
I love how the game really played with the twins (Thanatos and Hypnos) and made them very opposite from one another. I think it really works well. But also how Hypnos knows how you've died, somehow gives me the vibes that Thanatos has told him how he has died. I think its super cute
Did you know: you can romance both Thanatos and Megera at the same time and when the other finds out it becomes a poliamerous relationship between all 3.
i think that purely from how often shen's just drowning herself in simpage, we need a new word just to describe the level of simping that shen exposes us to. I NOW DUB THIS: SHENPING/ to shenp
Little do the UA-cam-only people know, this is actually something Shen has been saving. This is pretty old, so I can't wait for the non-Twitch users to see the later stuff.
I really like the touch of fear in Zag's voice when he goes through the Chaos portal (1:26). Really sets Chaos up as some untouchable super scary figure. edit: and he looks like james fucking charles I can't
"Er, Lord Hades? It's about your son, Zagreus. He's going around being very, how shall I put this, forward with those in the House." *"We're Greek."* "That may be, but he sniffs the air around Thanatos and has been lurking around corners in anticipation of the Furies' patrols." *"We're Greek."* "He has made suggestions involving you and him in a most candid manner." *"We're Greek."* "He routinely cries, 'I'm about to simp!'" *"... He's a weirdo."*

Shen = comics-Thanos confirmed! :D
Well you know in lore Thanatos is sometimes confused for Cupid due to his beauty (but when you compare personalities Thanatos is more kind and compassionate compared to Cupid) (the whole Love is Pain thing and Deaths Sweet Embrace)
Why is that so true
It is called La Petit Mort for a reason
Zag: "I caught a Bonehead."
Me: "Oh honey. You caught Shen a long time ago."

Oof
Thanatos is literally single-handedly keeping Zag's father's business alive. Truly a match made in the underworld.

Shen has honestly impeccable taste, all these characters are very simpable.
When Hades healed with that sound I just - so funny - delightful laughter.
I'm simping for patroclus. I'm so sad he's already taken but if he can live happily with achilles i'm happy too T_T also i'm loosing double since i'm a girl so he won't even look at me. But still awesome character....love him so much.
It is sad how we can't romance many of the other characters, but honestly with so much good stuff the game is giving us we can't complain. An example of the good stuff being our ability to reunite the myrmidon husbands :')
@@lonesomebookworm4345
The only reason I’m not rushing to finish the game is to reunite the lovers together and rail Thanatos- I need tips Patroclus needs to tell me his name :(
@@SSMp315 RAIL THANATOS AHAHAHA, you have your priorities "straight" my friend, or do you 🤣 Here's the thing though, and I'll try my best not to spoil you: after you escape once, it doesn't end there. The game pretty much becomes endless because there's so much stuff to do, so don't be afraid to move forward with the story! You'll still be able to romance and reunite and unlock even more stuff~Just keep talking to Pat and his name will be unlocked in the codex soon, other than that just keep giving him and Achilles nectar
@@lonesomebookworm4345 Okay :D dang, that’s relieving, I was having a stroke checking the hearts in the codex and having enough nectar to give to everyone. Thanatos is hard to come by and I felt devastated every run I don’t see him in, good to know that after you finish the game you can try again XD thanks
Note that Thanatos and Zaggy both have faces on their belts so if they were to hug, their belts would kiss
Shen: "Awww, that's kinda gay man"
Me: Im gonna tell her.
Also me: Dont you dare!
When Hades is concerned, you either die a mere simp, or you live long enough to invoke your inner Shen
I literally found your channel 20 minutes ago and you were playing hades. When I tell you I wheezed so hard a bust a lung I mean it. Subscribed instantly. And now you bless my unholy peepers with ANOTHER video. I’m so happy.
Everyone out here talking about Shen's simping, and I'm just sitting here horrified she's skipping Heroic boons for wretched pomegranates!
Fun fact! In greek mythology Zagreus is the son of Persephone and Hades and over time slowly turned into Dionysus
Edit: look up osp's video on Dionysus if you want more info
Funny you should mention that. I actually got a scene where Dionysus tells Zagreus to make up something funny to tell Orpheus, and he tells him how he and Dionysus are one and the same.
Zag tries to explain that it's a joke, but Orpheus buys it completely and uses it to write a hymn about Zag.
Wasn't it more like Dionysus was "created" out of Zagreus' heart after he was killed by Titans?
@@kontrol42 I think it was Orphic Dyonisus, another epithet, who's been crushed by Titans, and then he was reformed inside a human woman or something, I don't remember well
Dio 'n yisus
Dio means 'God' in italian? french? i don't remember
So he literally is called God and jesus
@@honezone2266 in italian, yes, it's Dieu in french.
That could work but sadly in greek god is Theo, Theos. Still a cool idea though
I love how the game really played with the twins (Thanatos and Hypnos) and made them very opposite from one another. I think it really works well. But also how Hypnos knows how you've died, somehow gives me the vibes that Thanatos has told him how he has died. I think its super cute
Shen“I don’t wanna be known as the thirst tuber”pai thirsts for greek gyros in this video
Did you know: you can romance both Thanatos and Megera at the same time and when the other finds out it becomes a poliamerous relationship between all 3.
I'm just patiently waiting for her reaction to being able to romance Than and Meg
Shen: *sigh of relief with 24hp left*
Second healthbar: "Hello there"
i think that purely from how often shen's just drowning herself in simpage, we need a new word just to describe the level of simping that shen exposes us to.
I NOW DUB THIS: SHENPING/ to shenp
Note to self: don't watch Shenpai play Hades on the big screen with your Christian family.
I mean, it IS just mythology.
I like to imagine Shenpai saw Thanatos and then her brain was like ‘TARGET AQUIRED’
"Twelve attempts. Not so good."
Me, who took 98 runs to even get to Styx: 👁👄👁
Little do the UA-cam-only people know, this is actually something Shen has been saving. This is pretty old, so I can't wait for the non-Twitch users to see the later stuff.
I really like the touch of fear in Zag's voice when he goes through the Chaos portal (1:26). Really sets Chaos up as some untouchable super scary figure.
edit: and he looks like james fucking charles I can't
this entire video is hilarious but the BONK sound effect fucking KILLED me holy shit
shen's stream be like:
"Than is a highway
I wanna ride him
all night long"
You can make an entire alignment chart made out of only old fictional men saying "boy"
CDI King, Kratos and now Hades
"Er, Lord Hades? It's about your son, Zagreus. He's going around being very, how shall I put this, forward with those in the House."
*"We're Greek."*
"That may be, but he sniffs the air around Thanatos and has been lurking around corners in anticipation of the Furies' patrols."
*"We're Greek."*
"He has made suggestions involving you and him in a most candid manner."
*"We're Greek."*
"He routinely cries, 'I'm about to simp!'"
*"... He's a weirdo."*
Male character: *hello there Zagreus*
Shen: *you are now my big fat crush*
Thanatos: *Appears*
Shen: *Starts snorting cocaine*
22:16
To people who watched the live stream remember when Shen said to Hypnos “Stay away from my man.” Then the chat started to chant “Thats his brother.”
When you get killed by Hades and Hypnos tries to call put what killed you: "Huh, redacted?! How?"
The sheer panic in shen’s voice when Thanatos leaves killed me
I just want you to know your videos are basically a play-by-play of the commentary in my head while playing this game and I can't wait to see how much more you call me out going forward
Everyone who played this game wanted to pet Cerberus and got really sad when they noticed they couldn't
In honor of Hades 2, rewatching this wonderful gem. Its' wonderful to see how much you've changed, and how much you've stayed the same :D
Shen: "This dude's a motherf****"
Me: "No, that would be Oedipus"
**hears water fall in the distance**
Me: wait i don't live near water...
**sees Shen simping over Thanatos* *
Me: **Backs away slowly**
Shen: that's kinda gay, man.
Zag and Than: .... so?
20:41 "That's kind of gay, man." Yes, Shen, that is a kind-of gay man.
