[ID: A fake screenshot of the game Hades. The background is the entrance to Asphodel, a plaza made of black stone and surrounded by decorated columns and a river of lava. Zagreus stands in front of the entrance. There is a fan-drawn dialogue sprite of Briseis, an Anatolian woman with brown skin, in the game’s style. She has long black curly hair and bright brown eyes. She furrows her brow in a bitter expression. She holds the staff of a spear, the same type that Achilles owns, in her left hand, while her right holds the broken half with the point. She wears a blue chiton over her right shoulder. Her bare left shoulder is bandaged. She wears a white cloth head wrap, orange girdle, and a leather belt with two pouches and a basket of yellow herbs attached. To the right is an ornate dialogue box with “Briseis; War-Torn Shade” at the top. The text reads, “Who knew the place we all dreaded in those times would be where I can finally have peace? –But my life story isn’t exactly the pick-me-up you need now, Prince. Maybe my herbs will do.” End ID]

briseis deserved so much better, so i just wanted to draw her living (well, not really) it up in asphodel.
