froge #Hades2

drawing of Melinoe from Hades 2 in a slightly cartoony style on a blank grey backdrop with a teal moon and sparkles/star behind her.

It's especially egregiously ironic because I don't think it's a coincidence that Platner made such a splash initially because his announcement video actually also did "the Mamdani thing", but took the correct lesson from it: by copping the Truck-commercial director aesthetic, his campaign became-
