Embrace Death (he gives great hugs and Zag could use one)

- He fucking,,, names the hydra Lernie

- continuity! Like the hydra's name or conversations you've had, Zagreus "remembers" past convos. I'm super impressed by this

- Cerberus and his pets

- the employee of the month board kills me

- Achilles and his bf <3

- I have not had a single line of dialogue be repeated in my 50+ hours I've been playing it, which is astounding to me (other than Hypnos welcoming me home)

- the administration chamber "inspire?"

- shades making 🙄 and 😒 faces at you for walking through them or when you"inspire" them

- Bouldy

- everyone is afraid of his dad but Zagreus doesn't give a FUCK. What's he gonna do? Ground him?? Kill him????? Hilarious

- burning capes/wardrobe full of capes to burn

- Saying "good day or, uh, night" without fail. The underworld has neither or is both maybe

- bi

- "there is always time to fish"

- all you gotta do is fuck death and he's at your beck and call to help you kill monsters

- Cerberus is vanquished (he's fine)

Thanatos: He doesn't bite

Look at my home isn’t it neat? Wouldn’t you think the underworld is so neat?

Looking around here you’d think. Sure, he’s got everything.

I’ve got cerberus and furies a plenty, I’ve got weapons and skeletons galore

Want ambrosia? I’ve got 20

But who cares... no big deal.... I want moreeee

I want to be where the living are, I want to see, want to see my mother

Walkin’ around in those... what do you call ‘em?

Oh, tress

Dashing in lava you could easily scar, Grass is perfect for jumping and dancing

Strolling along by the...

What’s that word again? Streammm

Up where they live, up where they breathe, up where they stay all day in the breeze

Wanderin’ free, wish i could leave, the underworld

What would i give? If i could live just like a mortal

What would i pay to spend a day with my mother

Bet you, on land, they understand, and they don’t try to kill their offspring.

Happy children, sick of murderin’ Ready to ascend

I’m ready to know what my mother knows, Ask her some questions and get some answers

What’s a snowfall and why does it... What’s the word?

Freeeeeeeze

When’s it my turn? wouldn’t i love, live to explore that earth up above

Out of hades, wish i could be

Free from the underworld

(Plus he and ariel are cousins just like with Hercules. Poseidon used to be ruler of the underworld, not hades. And he could be a lil triton. Thanatos could be a siren. Or equivalent to scuttle if you like. It all fits!)
