The June (July?) Something - 9 and 10
I hit a brick wall at school and fell off a cliff woof. Let's try to play catchup now.
Day 9: Drop the cast of a fandom you follow into a reality tv show - who/what/why?
I would drop the cast of the Hades game into Judge Mathis, daytime reality judge extraordinaire. The alleged dispute will be between Hades and Zagreus, disputing that Zagreus owes Hades tons of money from ransacking his house. At first Judge Mathis is critical of Zagreus, and dismisses him looking at him: like that?? is your father's??? property??? He says Zagreus who does his thing of keeping very calm amongst strangers and being sassy. Mathis doesn't have time to call him on it, because Hades already is.
Hades lecture goes on so long, in fact, that Mathis gets annoyed. Hades doesn't pick up on his clue that maybe he should stop, too; he's too used to being the one giving the rules and so ignores him and continues to talk. Zag shuts up though. Mathis notices. Mathis gets the dog and pony show back on track.
But then as soon as Zagreus starts talking again, a pattern emerges: Hades jumps down his throat, Zagreus argues back, and Mathis gets very tired indeed. A little bit of arguing is good for television; a lot of arguing, mostly one-sided, with "show your appreciation boy" and "you've never wanted for anything boy" gets old. And it's just not good TV.
Zagreus is guilty of sin of said rummaging and Hades does have the copious amounts of security footage that SHOWS Zagreus knocking over his pots, but Mathis never gets to see it. Tired as hell of Hades constant interruption and color commentary, Judge Mathis asks for the evidence, declares Zag's tripping over the pot to clearly be "accidental" and rules he's innocent. Hades continues to fume about the injustice of it, but thankfully for Judge Mathis, he's out the door before he gets to hear Hades' latest lecture.
Day 10: Drop your OTP or small ensemble from the fandom they're in into another fandom - how do they do?
Dropping the Hadestown crew into Hades and the Hades crew of the same char because there is nothing this bitch loves more than alternate universes. I'm going to assume this happens near the start of both canons so I'm assuming Act 1 Hadestown crew gets teleported into Hades' Hades' domain during Zag's first run up.
Hades: Hades! Hades doesn't trust HT! Hades further than he could throw him, and the feeling is mutual. Hadestown Hades can't believe how inefficiently Hades! Hades has let things get: Look at all this paperwork! Asphodel is literally ON FUCKING FIRE. He can't even get his kid to listen! Hades! Hades (gosh this is confusing; this man...these men? need to stop naming places after himself/themselves) is annoyed by this 6' brat who can't stop talking about "maximizing his efficiencies" and "ensuring a clean line of production" yadda yadda yadda. However, everything changes when HT! Hades finally asks where Persephone is after assuming that she's in Her Bar and is horrified to find out that Hades! Hades has been left alone for many years. HT! Hades obsessively asks for every detail on what might have gone wrong, stricken with the fear that it could happen to him. Hades! Hades is surprised to have someone who understands his issues and is quite secretly jealous as to how Hadestown! Persephone hasn't left this loser, so he's equally into probing the other Hades to try to find out how he keeps Persephone coming down. Anyway, needless to say, these two wind up sobbing into some particularly strong ambrosia and denying it ever happened for the rest of time.
Persephone: Hades! Persephone is at first relieved that Ht! Persephone found her little home, but ht! Persephone quickly wears out her welcome. Ht! Persephone at first thinks Hades! Persephone is the smarter of them, having managed to finally get away from Hades. But when she finds out that the cause of their separation is not so much Hades' stupidity as it is a traumatic accident, she can't believe the heartlessness of Hades! Persephone, who just walked out on Hades during a time when they both were intensely grieving. Is Hades an idiot? Yes. Is he HER idiot? Yes. HT! Persephone is so much more ride or die for her Hades, regardless of whether or not that's truly a good idea, that she really steps all over poor Hades! Persephone in her offense. Hades! Persephone is boggled at how HT! Persephone is such a lush, drinking high off her wine and making every joke she can to distract from her discomfort. She tends to think HT! Persephone is a bit rude - maybe even a bit of a bitch. It's awkward. The two joke and make polite talk but both of them can't wait to be out of the other's company.
Orpheus: HT! Orpheus is terrified of his Hades! counterpart. It's hard for him to imagine having all that sorrow fit in his chest. He's further hurt when he realizes that Eurydice here is parted from him, but relieved when Orpheus confesses that it is because Eurydice was bitten by a snake. After all, there are no snakes where they're living it up on top (not the amphibian kind, anyway). He spends most of the time hanging out in Hades wishing that he could sneak off to Asphodel, and the funny this is, Hades! Orpheus is thinking the same thing. They have a little bit of a jam session, but the truth is, their hearts just aren't in it.
Eurydice: More than anyone else, Ht! Eurydice LOVES Hades! Eurydice. Number one, she cooks. Number two, all her food is delicious. The two stuff themselves on pom porridge and ambrosia nectar. She's a little surprised that Eurydice isn't with Orpheus, but I think she's a little bit afraid to ask; she's kind of in awe of Hades! Eurydice because she's so confident and so kind, and, anyway, she can't get a lot of conversation in because Hades! Eurydice is always humming and singing and cooking. Since she's surrounded by lava, Ht! Eurydice just chills out, sings along, and eats her fill. She comes to really admire Hades! Eurydice, who seems to be so smart, so self-reliant, and so damn resourceful. Hades! Eurydice quite likes Ht! Eurydice, because she's got a soft spot for people she can take care of and people who can carry a beat and she's never seen a person so hungry and so appreciative of her cooking or who can hold a harmony with her as well as HT! Eurydice. Hadestown! Eurydice is not quite sure why Hades! Eurydice lives somewhere so hot, but she decides it doesn't really matter if she has all kinds of food. Problem is, she eventually notices that Hades! Eurydice doesn't eat too much, and Hades! Eurydice eventually makes an off-hand comment about being dead. And Eurydice is freaked out about it, but she doesn't time to ask, and then she's back in act 1 with the knowledge that the most put-together or all her forms didn't make it.
Hermes: Ht! Hermes is so amused by Hades! Hermes. He loves how young and vibrant the kid is, how he hasn't been ground down by watching the same damn story play out a hundred thousand times. Hades! Hermes can't quite fathom how he could ever be so old, in any multiverse, but he's somewhat comforted by the fact that ht! Hermes is still the man with the feathers on his feet, and still has plenty of speed left in his movements. He can still run circles around HT! Hermes, but HT! Hermes doesn't mind. "Go ahead kid," he says with a laugh that's tinged with sadness, quicksilver feathers or no. "You keep on moving." He can't help but hope it'll work out for this kid, even if things haven't quite worked out in his universe.
