Orpheus: If you sing a song for a cow, it’s called moosic.
Zagreus: …🙂
Orpheus: …Ahah…it was a joke, my friend.
Zagreus: …Oh.

Listening to part one of Zagreus rn, and the doctor/zagreus/whomsoeverthefuck is just so soooo pathetic. He's pulling on my heartstrings legitimately and it's incredibly bizarre
Why does it feel like he'd break if you breathe on him too hard right now

happy pride! god zagreus, please?
a continuation of 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11
It's not that difficult to find the bright, blazing light of Zagreus above the surface and pull himself there. He didn't even go very far - he's still on the same mountain as the entrance to the underworld.
Except when he appears, it's nothing like the mountaintop he remembers. All his angry words die on his tongue, replaced with a tentative sort of wonder.
"Pretty cool, huh?" Zagreus asks, beaming as he gestures to the lush forest and garden, full of plants and fruit that he's never seen before, in colors that shouldn't exist.
It's wild, but cultivated. They're in front of a fountain and there's a cobblestone path winding deeper into the forest, and even a hammock and a fishing pole near the pond, which is the part that he focuses on because it's the part that's connected to the Zagreus that he knows. He can easily imagine him lounging in that hammock for hours, pole held in a lazy grip that flicks back whenever he feels a bite.
"Prince?"
He turns and there is a woman coming up the path. She's beautiful, for a mortal, and just as lush as the greenery surrounding them. Zagreus's power is all around them, but she glows with it, giving her a subtle golden aura that any immortal could pick up on.
"Eliana," Zagreus says warmly. "Your father is taken care of. He was bragging about you to Sisyphus when I left."
She smiles, and it's tinged with sadness, but she says, "Thank you. You're all he talked about at the end. He was so excited to meet you."
He ducks his head. "Well, I hope I lived up to his expectations."
Zagreus had said that he wasn't married, but what else can this mortal be, who is cloaked in his power and speaks to him so casually? Thanatos's stomach flips then fills with acid.
"You never disappoint," she reassures, voice warm and fond and familiar. She flickers her eyes in his direction and raises an eyebrow.
"Ah," Zagreus's grin widens. "There's someone I want you to meet. This is Thanatos, the god of death, and, more importantly, he is my oldest and dearest friend."
She bows to him deeply, although she does not fully prostrate herself, which he feels uncharacteristically miffed about.
"Thanatos, this is Eliana. She is my high priestess. She oversees my the building of my temples and my orchards and is charged with discharging blessings in my name."
Ah.
No wonder she had not gotten to her knees before him. That level of devotion is reserved only for the god who's power she wields.
"You're a god," he says, staring at Zagreus, trying to reconcile everything he thought he knew with what's in front of him.
He smiles, teasing. "I've always been a god."
Yes and no.
He was always a god, but one without a domain. One without temples or worshippers or tributes. Even Thanatos doesn't have temples in his name.
"What are you the god of?" he asks, trying to ignore the tightness in his throat.
Eliana answers, "Our Prince is the god of life and the god of blood. Only he can provide shelter against the endless winter."
Thanatos blinks, because out of everything he's been told, this is the most unbelievable. "You - you're trying to stand against Demeter?"
"I have been standing against Demeter," he says, that familiar arrogance in every line of his body. "Who besides me? I am the son of the Lord of the Underworld and the Goddess of Spring. I will stave off death and call forth spring, for I am the god of life."
Fuck.
Thanatos misses a couple minutes ago when he thought they just had a civil war to deal with.

🔥💀Prince & Princess of the Underworld 🔥💀
I had the privilege of crafting Zagreus and his new lil sis Melinoe from Hades (and Hades 2) as one of the prizes at this years Desert Bus for Hope, an online telathon supporting Child's Play Charity for children in hospitals and domestic violence shelters! Tune in from Nov 11 to approx Nov 18 for a chance at them!
Both of them are 12" high, posable, and come with their signature weapons, a couple glasses of ambrosia, and a DB-themed Pact of Punishment. Had so much fun making them and hope a lucky bidder enjoys them as much as I do!
I'll be posting detail shots of each sibling in the coming days!

My spouse and I just recently got a kitten, who was WAY younger than the shelter said he was (he doesnt even have his molars yet!!).
Anyways, look at our baby Zagreus:

He is timid UNLESS you have Yummy Snackies, in which he will get over any obstacles to have them.

Why do you all think Zagreus is stupid? I’m so serious. I know you mean it affectionately, but I cannot figure out what you mean by it. The reason he doesn’t know things like what birds are is because he was highly sheltered growing up, but he seems to be fairly well-educated to me.

You're welcome. Hello, Zagreus! Nice to meet you.
Are you all comfortable enough, in the Dreamyard? Got a decent homebase yet? Shelter, beds, place for food to be stored and made, that sort of thing. We can send you some things if you need.
It is nice to meet you as well.
I am as comfortable as I can be. Amenities are useless to me, seeing as I no longer need food or water. Your offer is appreciated, however.

ur post abt hades loving nico made me think abt an hades integrated au so much, like hades fucked up a lot with zagreus and then persephone came back and now he has another child and he just,,, rlly has to make an effort with this one, he can’t be that shitty of a father again, he won’t be that shitty of a father again
Oh my god you have no idea how many thoughts your ask is giving me—
Now, I admit that I haven’t played the Hades game and everything I know is through the wiki and stuff, so forgive me if something’s off.
- Firstly, yes yes yes, absolutely. I wholeheartedly agree that Zagreus’ story actually lines up pretty well with Nico’s. For ex., the reason Hades didn’t take Nico to the Underworld after he ran away from CHB was that he respected Maria’s wish, but it can also be because of Zagreus’ previous countless attempts to leave, that Hades believed his kingdom was some place no one wanted to stay except being forced. So he let go. And Nico remained homeless for months.
It was almost as if Hades was a sulking child. Almost.
- Remember that scene in which Nico challenged Hades to blast him into dust while trying to get him to stand up for Olympus? And the fact that he did not?? And what if it was because Hades and Zagreus had had enough bad fights, with or without violence, that Hades couldn’t afford to hurt his own son, again, despite Nico’s insolence???!!! Oh my god——
- And afaik, Hades in the game wanted to keep Zagreus underground just because he felt… lonely? Like, he just wanted Zagreus to stay with him and not leave like Persephone, but Hades was just not the best in the emotional field so everything went wrong and they ended up hateful and bitter. I’m not so sure about ^^^ but anw i find it works with the integration too:
When Nico appears, Hades will not admit this, but he does want to see his son, but he wouldn’t force him. He let him stay when Nico wasn’t fond of the Camps. He gives Nico a room in his palace and reassures him that the kid is always welcomed.
Hades doesn’t force. The God fears the day his children would be turned away from him by the Olympians, but he knows he shouldn’t repeat what happened to Zagreus. So he settles for reassuring Nico that the kid would always have a place to return to: by his father’s side.
Forgive him, please, he just misses his sons. A lot.
- Now, you might think that Hades’ attitude would make Zagreus sort of envies Nico. Jealousy over their father’s bias? Something like that. And sometimes Nico is like everything Zagreus isn’t: loved by Hades, serious, respectful and well-mannered, having rejected the topside to take shelter in the Underworld. Completely unlike the rebellious Zagreus who dreams of the surface. There’re so many reasons for Zagreus to dislike Nico on the grounds of their natures.
But if there’s anything they have in common, it’s that they are both kind, I believe. I can tell that Zagreus is kind. A nice guy, really. He wouldn’t hate on Nico just because of who the kid is. He would be glad - glad that his father finally learnt his lesson and his little brother could enjoy his stay in the bleak kingdom unlike him.
I’m not sure about the Zagreus in the Greek myths since there’s too little about the guy, but I do believe the nice Zagreus I’ve come to know of in the Hades game would like Nico.
All in all, sincerely thank you for sending this ask. I love Nico and I love Hades and I have definitely grown to love Zagreus. I will always do.

wasting beats of this heart of mine by argetcross
Chapter 19: The Fire and the Blood
The storm did not break. For five days, its winds howled over Mount Cithaeron, with no signs of abating. Zagreus, Callisto, and Iphios remained huddled in Callisto’s den, sheltered by the warm underbelly of the earth, as the snow piled higher and higher outside. The weather prevented them from hunting or straying far from the cave, and all they had in the way of provisions was snowmelt, bark, and some pork jerky Callisto had stashed away.
Slowly, but surely, Zagreus was going insane.
Read it here on AO3!

Like I've been so vocal about the ways tmes act on this website and how it's wrong. Back when Zagreus was ran off the website for saying you have to be sheltered to think queer is a slur, who wrote a post about the awful conduct? Who was the one going off anon into ppls inboxes to talk about it? Who has brought up how lotsa tmes use these sorta events to release their transmisogyny on deserving targets? And after this whole debacle is done guess who'll be preaching about people's conduct this time around?
But no. That's not enough. You gotta cosign every shitty thing a transfem does or else you're a pickme even if they're defending a cis chaser. It's genuinely bizarre how they've centered themselves as like the core people who need to be protected at all costs even if genuinely disgusting.

@dionysiannights   𝐂𝐎𝐍𝐓𝐈𝐍𝐔𝐄𝐃  𝐅𝐑𝐎𝐌  𝐇𝐄𝐑𝐄
he doesn't know what he's ever done to truly endure such a thing. to think mortals would show so much greed, to have such degrees of heartlessness, inconsideration  —  it made zagreus sick with rage, but the blood that cascades down from his abdomen flows in rivers, whatever they used against him caused his wounds to remain. they wouldn't close, and he felt so weak, zagreus has felt so very weak, for so very long, and part of him wonders  —  was this fear something thanatos felt when he was captured? how amusing it is to find himself in such a situation. watching as this wretched greed below him drank his blood like it was the finest ambrosia, there were some moments where he did not mind; a child gravely ill, another fatally injured, but then they began to show up in hopes of prolonging their life. because if not for the blood of life, what other purpose would it serve? it was all he was good for, this disgustingly mortal — looking blood that coursed through his veins. zagreus has given up, he had given up since a long while ago. no one will show, no one will arrive, and if these crazed mortals are all that will sing hymns and prayers in hopes this damn god could provide something for them then who cares?
but his thoughts come to a halt when screams erupt throughout this sheltered temple  —  who? who would be insane enough to come barging into a full temple of these fanatics? whoever it was, it only made him worry more, a groan that spills from painted lips escapes zagreus and he begins to flex his fists. please, he desperately thinks, anything! he tells himself, no bloodstone conjures in his hands, stygius does not appear, no power to bring forth, nothing to help him. like every other time, he's trapped  —  though, there is something odd, something so familiar in the way they suddenly begin to grow erratic. this dance of sorts is of such revelry and drunken rapture, and the vines that whip, and grasp, and crush, and destroy all hit him at once  :  ❛  dionysus  —  ❜  zagreus gasps, and there is a sliver of relief that surges through him, the mere thought of his cousin arriving is enough to tear a possible sob from his long, unused voice.
Tumblr media
oh, cousin dearest! rings out, as if on cue to answer these desperate thoughts that plagued zagreus for only gods know how long and he finally manages to take a gander at the mortals that begin to run, some even trying to cure this madness with his own blood  —   ❛  you fool ...  ❜  he strains,  ❛  the whole lot of you. utterly ... atrocious mortals  —  ❜  his blood wouldn't protect them from dionysus' wrath, he was one god that could utterly devastate an empire if he so chose to, to go against him would only make retaliation that much worse. it's no surprise to zagreus when said mortal is wrapped in vines and crushed effortlessly, and with even more rubble crashing down, the god finds himself jostled as a result. please, please, please  —  he thinks, and soon enough, even knowing the landing with excruciating for him with the large stone basin below him. zagreus falls.
the drop is fast, and painful, and the splash of his own blood coats his entire body in such familiar ways and he thinks finally  —  zagreus can heal, he can stitch himself together, the god is with his element of expertise now and the process is like that of fire burning through him as his body stitches itself back together. now, if only these damn chains gave way.

freya has heard stories from kratos about the greek realm. although she fails to remember a mention of the name zagreus. his place of origin, the underworld ruled by hades ─ of course ─ strikes familiarity. to the other's benefit, freya is not forced to move in haste and far are the days she had to seek shelter in her own shadow. she does not mourn the daunted form of her past self.
there is curiosity in the motivation of zagreus' ambitions and if there even is a reason for distancing himself from his usual comforts.
