hi not to be thanzag on main but. you know the one thanatos keepsake where you get a permanent bonus to your attack(?) or sumn but only if you clear a room w/out taking damage right
yea that seems hard isn't it—it requires you to repeatedly clear each room without providing any chance for you to make an error by taking damage at all, lest you simply don't get the damage bonus
...but it also encourages you to be safe and not get hurt
anyways in this essay regarding why thanatos is a tsundere i will
HONESTLY. like? there’s motivation towards reining in zagreus’ impulsivity and ensuring that he doesn’t get hurt without even being there, which is SUCH a thanatos move imo.
he may act all aloof and cold and whatnot, but there’s no denying that he’s still looking out for his childhood friend’s wellbeing. he knows that zagreus is too stubborn to not go through with what he’s saying and than is still feeling stung that zag never said goodbye, but he still cares!
