heres to pretending i didn’t disappear!

Between Life and Death

Also if you think Hypnos looks like Thanatos, he’s supposed to! They’re brothers, and I think twins, so I’m glad Rachel designed him to show that! It also shows how sleep and death are similar domains

Okay, to get my mind off of the sick shit that I keep realizing about Hades and Persephone’s relationship I’ve decided to come back to these. This character, luckily didn’t get as much hate as Leuce did but there were still some haters presence like all characters who aren’t brainwashed into thinking Hades and Persephone are great, didn’t deserve the cold shoulder that some people gave him because he’s just too majestic and wonderful to even be discussed in a negative way. But let me stop stalling so we can talk about and admire one of my many favorite characters, the lovely and breathtaking Hypnos.

Yes, yes everyone clap he’s great I swear. Honestly when we first saw him I loved his sense of humor, he’s such a character and it’s refreshing seeing other characters actually speak their true opinions and be so outspoken. I missed that cause we haven’t gotten a call out like that since Artemis and Zeus, I’m not sure if we’ll see them too much going forward. I just absolutely love laughing at everything he said to Hades cause it was genuinely funny to me, I haven’t had a good decent laugh like that in this series so it was nice that Hypnos gave me my first.

Next I wanna talk about his design cause I enjoyed it enough. I wish that there was something different about it and yes, I know that he’s supposed to be Thanatos’ twin but I also wish there was something about him that makes him stand out from Thanatos. Like you can be twins but there has to be some sort of distinction between you so that people can tell who’s speaking and who’s being shown like for example it could be in clothes, shoes, favorite colors, accessories, music taste, etc. But anyways, besides that I actually liked the design for what it was I thought he looked really graceful and elegant but he also just exudes calmness. Which is pretty neat because he’s the god of sleep so that’s really in character for him.

Also I loved his hair, something about this very long flowy wavy effect he has going on is really selling it for me. I enjoy looking at it because it just looks so cool, like his hair is floating almost. Just like Thanatos I love this sort of color pallet where the grey and blue of their skin is contrasting with the white of their hair. It’s so pretty to me.

Anyways, that’s the end of this appreciation for now but best believe I’ll waiting and losing sleep until I get to see him again. Hopefully we will but who knows, he could’ve only been used for the Kronos investigation which would really crush me. He has a lot of potential and I really wanna see the tension between him and Hades, I mean there’s gotta be some more animosity between them since Hades’ mistreatment of his brother. I feel like it would really muster up an honest apology from Hades that doesn’t involve making the whole conversation about him, something about Hypnos tells me he won’t stand for that happening again. Also speaking of Hypnos calling him out, I hated that everyone got mad at him for that it was true after Persephone got banished he crumbled and neglected his responsibilities as a king and allowed his whole realm to be completely in shambles. At some point he’s got to take responsibility because he really did neglect them and only thought about her, I get missing someone but you were a king before you knew Persephone even existed so you can definitely continue to be king without her, you’ve been doing it for this long grow up please you have a kingdom to run first you can get into the bed of a forever 19 year old later.

I did it, hooray!!! 💀🤍👼💙😴 by chocoherring
