#huedhaut

associating this song with Huedhaut and MC/Clotho. This song playing when Hue first met Clotho and when they reunited as Huedhaut and MC. When the memories of her past life returned and she called him 'Hue' for the first time in the lake... then he embraced her.

My current Star Crossed Myth career is at its peak - I wholly finished three routes (yes, that much, envious?) and now I need to unleash my brainrot. The finished routes: Zyglavis, Hue, Scorpio - in this order. 2:1 for Punishments but I suppose that is not surprise given that this game subverts the expectations of how gods should be and Punishments gods are mostly mewling kittens.

Zyglavis route as whole was, how to put it, felt like I dated a man who is older than me by 20 years. Comforting, reliable but also very lonesome and sometimes distant experience. His later parts of story were frustrating but this time the meme "my life is living hell and I have nobody but myself to blame" applies. The King shockingly is not the antagonist in this route, Zyglavis rigidity is. As much as I love strict meganes who are kind souls inside, I couldn't feel the real love and connection between him and his MC. Favorite scene in his route: The realization in his main story, where he finally acknowledged that he loves MC. The tenderness was palapable as he wiped her tears and whispered "you cry for others?" - it was very defining moment that rekindled his faith in humanity Favorite scene with Zyglavis overall: His infamous arrival in Hue's route where he breaks through window 😂 Route rating: 7,5/10

Hue... I kind of regret that I did his second. I should definitely do him last. So if you plan to play, don't do the same stupid mistake like I did. His route is full of lore and background about MC. The background especially will cause you LOTS of pain if you do his route early and then proceed to other gods. Relationship with Hue felt just right. Like two halves of one soul united and in a sense, it's true. Two halves of stars reunited 😭 I mean how much more of "their love is destiny" vibes can this get? Their banter was entertaining and witty, ocassionaly MC really flipped the tables back on Hue and it was amusing to see his reaction. Hue is definitely the brain in this relationship but his MC is not stupid either - rather, she is jealous and insecure. If you read my previous post where I ranted about this, you will understand what I mean. The ending of whole route was very unsatisfactory and the jelaousy plot of MC's was dominant arc, which annoyed the hell out of me. You know what would be absolutely perfect ending for Hue? If he got Scorpio's ending. Here, I said it. Favorite scene in his route: When MC travels back in time and is Clotho. Then she dies and we can see the aftermath - Hue, standing in the darkness of his room and MC clinging to his lifeless, breathing body. He just pulled out his eye for her, effectively crippling himself in the name of love even if the result was uncertain. The sheer rawness of the moment, the despair and mourning - it all deeply resonated with me. Favorite scene with Hue overall: The sequel (?) ending where Hue and MC talk their feelings and MC admits that she thought the source of Hue's uneasiness was his dissatisfaction with their lovemaking. Hue is literally speechless for a moment because it would never ever occur to him that THIS was one of MC's concerns. The aftermath to this scene is 🌶️🌶️🌶️

Rating: 9,5/10 - I blame overused jelaousy plot. Once, it was nice. Using it all the time was rather tiresome.

The story established, that Hue loved/loves Clotho. From what I picked up during my reading of all Hue's stories and mainly "If you were a Goddess", Clotho was not really different from present day MC in character.

When Hue gave up his eye to save her soul, we know, that the very same soul survived and was reincarnated to MC. It's still the same soul, there is no alternation, no buts or ifs, just the Soul ™️ Yet the story tried to portray this as if MC was completely different person and like, I get from where the writers are coming from. MC definitely has her own life experiences that her previous life didn't - she has her own family, education, job, interests. But in her core, Clotho and MC are the same to me. They are both very kind, playfull and selfless personalities. Their mannerism is same too. There is no confirmation but I assume they look same or very similiar in looks too because MC just seen herself when she looked in the water mirror in the "Mussings on Love" story.

In this story, "Mussings on Love" she was transported into the past, where she occupied her previous body of Clotho and it was only due to her own jealousy. She pondered if Hue loves her or the goddess more. But like, how can this even be a question? It's still her. Goddess was her, MC is her, she even has some memories from the past life and they are her own. How can you be jelaous of yourself? In the end MC understood it when she compared past Hue and present Hue - it was still him, she loved both of them the same because both of them carry the same, one Soul ™️

I'm writing all of this because it seriously pissed me off when MC had this bout of jelaousy like Hue's dead girlfriend was some stranger person unrelated to her and she compared the happiness of his past with his happiness in present. Writers also tried very hard to put some questionable lines to Hue's mouth when he said that he loves MC and that he made peace with the goddess death which MC interpreted as:

"Goddess is this different person and I'm me."

The "me" is however, same. In the past, in the present, it's still you, MC. Hue wouldn't love you if you weren't his soulmate, emphasis on soul. To wrap this up (I'm seriously slightly embrassed how lengthy this got) I'd like to cite my favorite quote from TGCF that I find very fitting to this situation:
