Ares' place
➣MEANING & BLOOD▪Once the only way for people to die, Thanatos' personality has changed much over the countless millennia that has passed since those sweet days of being worshiped. The God, now little more than a mortal in importance, is complacent in his surroundings. Fearing his own passing due to starvation from the very souls that once kept him so healthy, Thanatos takes pleasure in the same things. In turn his long life has only made him more appreciative of things that even you & I take for granted.
Despite being surrounded by technology, and the ease and luxury it offers, getting dressed, going to the washroom, practicing standing perfectly still or blending into a crowd can be something to derive amusement from. A way to fight boredom and nihilism, if you will. Thanatos adds meaning to practically everything. Albeit, thanks to his companionship with Ares - yes, the Ares he has become rather desensitized to the violence that one's end sometimes requires.
While Thanatos is Death, he has always tried for it to be a serene act; a means to an end, if you will. His existence and what he represents has always been a tidy equation to him. Nothing more. Time spent with the God of War, who revels in violence and bloodshed, through their connection, that delight in sinew, anguish, blood and fear has transferred over. There is a child-like curiosity paired with the arousal of a man when it comes to violent ends now, it is as though his natural nature of adding meaning to everything has spilled into something macabre.➣AMUSEMENTS▪With his existence as it stands now, Thanatos, as aforementioned, takes delight in the small things. As his newfound shape of being a Hound has changed, Death is not beyond the understanding of comedy, though it might be a little dry. He has no qualms whatsoever standing in a shop window practicing the art of being perfectly still as to imitate taxidermy, and then find amusement after a few hours of blending in, and causing a bit of a ruckus when he moves.
Aside from playing parlour tricks, Thanatos, if stricken by the mood, can and will find it acceptable to expend energy to make music. In a world where everything is so hyperfocused on technology, Thanatos goes back to the roots, partaking in true craftsmanship, and music. He can get lost in it for hours, even with simply playing the same song over and over, until Ares tells him to shut up, and this trait only gets worse if it is raining.
However, it must be said that even when Death deems it feasible to expend the energy to transmogrify in order to play the piano, playing is probably the only true thing he frets over, as he is more than aware that he shares his home. The underlying current need to keep Ares agreeable sometimes stunts him in his hobby for music, though he never discusses it either to learn if the other truly minds.
Death is a challenge. It tells us not to waste time... It tells us to tell each other right now that we love each other.
