So I’m romancing Meg on this playthrough of Hades, and I can’t help but notice how the fandom really poorly contextualizes their romance in it’s collective headspace.
Like, all the art and works for Zagreus and Meg have all been really superficial in regards to them and stuff. Like, It’s all about how Meg is a big strong wahmen and Zagreus gets pegged (and I mean, yeah, he does). But, like, there’s a genuinely compelling romance here?
Like, the shared history, the centuries of fulfilling a role, learning to grow and move beyond what they’re expected to be and what they expect of each other. Learning to see from the other’s point of view and overcoming all the things we’ve done to each other. Growing a friendship in the ashes of an old relationship and blossoming into something romantic again. Giving each other and yourself another chance.
It’s- it’s good shit, you know?
