Hades' Brain Cell #1: What are you doing? We're blowing this!

Hades' Brain Cell #2: What am I supposed to do?! We don’t even know what made her like us in the first place!

Brain Cell #1: Look, it’s fine, hard part’s over. As long as she doesn’t throw us any curveballs, I think we’ll be okay.

Persephone: So...what should we do now?

Brain Cell #1: FUCK!

Brain Cell #2: What is she talking about, "do now"? What the hell comes next??

Brain Cell #1: I don't know! I forgot what Hecate said!

Brain Cell #2: Well, she asked us a question. We have to say something!

Brain Cell #1: Look, just say anything. Just say it with confidence.

Brain Cell #2: Um...All right, here goes.

Hades, out loud: We should get married.

Brain Cell #1: NOOOOOO!

Brain Cell #2: YOU SAID SAY ANYTHING!

Brain Cell #1: ANYTHING EXCEPT THAT, OBVIOUSLY!

Brain Cell #2: I'm sorry! I don't work well under pressure!

Brain Cell #1: Look, it’s fine, we’ll just play it off as a joke. No harm done.

Persephone: Sure! Let's do it!

Brain Cell #1: WHAT?!

Brain Cell #2: H-Hey! She seems pretty happy about it!

Meanwhile, across the mental gap...

Persephone's Brain Cell #1: WHY DID YOU SAY YES?!

Persephone's Brain Cell #2: I DON'T KNOW!

Macaria just wanted to say she’s sorry😢

Hecate: So. Who broke it? I'm not mad, I just want to know.

Persephone: I did. I bro-

Hecate: No. No, you didn't. Hermes?

Hermes: Don't look at me. Look at Thanatos.

Thanatos: What? I didn't break it!

Hermes: That's weird, how did you even know it was broken?

Thanatos: Because it's sitting right in front of us and it's broken.

Hermes: Suspicious.

Thanatos: No, it's not!

Hades: If it matters, I mean probably not, but Minthe was the last one to use it.

Minthe: Liar! I don't drink that company crap!

Hades: Really? Then what were you doing around the coffee cart earlier?

Minthe: I use the wooden stirrers to push my cuticles back, everyone knows that, Hades!

Persephone: Okay, let's not fight. I broke it, let me pay for it.

Hecate: No! Who broke it?!

Everyone: ...

Thanatos: Hecate, the Fates have been awfully quiet.

All three, in unison: Oh, REALLY?

Everyone: *arguing*

Hecate, alone: I broke it. It burned my hand so I punched it. I predict ten minutes from now they'll all be at each other's throts with war paint on their faces and a pig head on a stick. Good. Things were getting a little too chummy around here.

Hades: Where did Minthe go?

Hecate: It is raining outside, sir. Maybe she melted.

(at a holiday party, by the piano)

Persephone: I really can’t stay…

Hades: I’ll drive you home right now

Persephone: I’ve got to go away…

Hades: Or if you want to go back to a friend’s house I’ll take you there too

Persephone: This evening has been… so very nice…

Hades: Yes, I agree. I wonder where they got the mini quiches?

Persephone: My mother will start to worry…

Hades: You should really text her so she knows you’re safe

Persephone: My father will be pacing the floor…

Hades: I thought you didn’t have a father? It’s nice that he cares about you!

Persephone: So really I’d better scurry…

Hades: If you’d prefer to walk home, you can take Cerb.

Persephone: But maybe just a half a drink more…

Hades: You are entirely in control of how much alcohol you consume tonight.

Persephone: The neighbors might think…

Hades: I respect that you care about their opinion of you.

Persephone: Say, what’s in this drink?…

Hades: Just the eggnog you buy at Valhallamart plus some dark rum and cognac

Persephone: I wish I knew how… To break this spell…

Hades: I will not do anything you don’t explicitly and soberly ask for

Persephone: I ought to say no no no, sir…

Hades: You are entitled to your decision and I will respect it diligently

Persephone: (sniffling) I love that you’re so nice and respectful, but it’s a holiday song just sing the damn duet with me

The Greek Gods and Goddesses // Part 1

Storms are wonderful, the way the skies thrash and scream. It is a reminder that even the skies scream, burdened with the weight of lost, forgotten dreams. ~ Nikita Gill

The Greek Gods and Goddesses // Part 3

The heart is a violent muscle; it opens and shuts. The subject is death. The subject is also laughter. - Jon Anderson

in greek they don’t say ‘giraffe’ they say καμηλοπάρδαλη which literally means ‘paradise camel’ and i think that’s really hilarious

Modern Greek Mythology

 Hestia comforts the children of broken homes, she appears to them as a school councilor that always has cookies. They cry in her arms, and she lets them stay with her for as long as she can. She stopped calling home, stopped making strongly worded comments to the parents. All there is left are broken homes and suffering children.

 Hera sits next to her sister, holds her hand and thinks about the broken marriages that lead to broken homes. She listens to the couples yelling at each other while she walks on the streets. She holds the crying women, she listens to the hopeless men. All of the power that a goddess of marriage possesses cannot help the people who were betrayed by their closest ones.

 After a long day, Demeter sits on the ground in her garden, holds a cup of tea in hands that have dirt all over them. She wishes that more people would remember what is under all of the concrete. She feels the dying of her world, and curses those who do not care for it.

modern greek mythology stories i am tired of seeing: gritty, “the gods are dying because we don’t believe in them” stories where the greek gods mingle sadly with mortals and lament their lost power

modern greek mythology stories i would like to see: cerberus manages to escape from the underworld and hades has to find him before he can unleash his rage upon the mortal realm, only to find out that cerberus was found by a child who tamed him by sharing her after-school snack with him and giving him pets, and he now has to figure out a way to sneak into the suburbs and avoid getting the cops called on him while he steals his three-headed hell-hound back from a five year old girl

Imagine three brothers whose father just died. Nobody really liked him but he owned a lot of businesses all over town, which he split the ownership of between his three sons.

The first son gets the CEO position of a powerful corporation, including his own private jet

The second son gets the father’s shipping company and his yacht

The last son gets ownership of a small funeral home that isn’t doing very well

The first son becomes a total jerk who sleeps around and cheats on his wife constantly.

The second son adopts the culture of the sailors at the docks and develops an aggressive personality

The third son’s company is more of a liability than an asset, but through hard work he makes it work. He’s not very comforting to the grieving costumers, but his prices are fair and he treats them with respect. He marries a wife who helps him run the funeral home. The place is a success, despite its dreariness.

This is literally Greek Mythology.

concept: Greek gods talk show but literally everyone is always just fighting. Except for Hestia and Hades, who discuss the latest book they read, sip tea, and make commentary on the fights that are going on

[detectivesanddoctorsandhunters98]

The old gods are not dead

I hear Athenas war cry in the shouts of protests,

fighting a war now closer to home,

I see her in the young women with picket signs

clenched tightly in their fists

Hera curses the names of the abusers

The ones who break families and marriages

Her voice heard in the wedding bells of young lovers

Poseidon now resides in a beach home

Going out every night to pick of trash left by the day

Shooting daggers at the drunk men letting their bottles be swept away

Demeter can be heard cursing the politicians refusing to believe in global warming

Names of scientists and studies on the tip of her tongue

She is found teaching young children how to grow their food at the community garden

Ares is found on the front lines of a different war, not fighting but protecting the innocent

Guiding classrooms of children away from gunfire,

His shield protecting the terrified

Apollo can be found at opens mics

Reciting his latest works

Or walking down the street in docs on his feet and a guitar on his back

He knows he’s the coolest

Artemis is seen on the streets

Her bow and arrow have long left her

Carrying nothing more than a knife and mace

She hunts a different kind of monster now

Hephaestus resides in a workshop at all hours of the night

Creating custom pieces for the right price and a warm smile

The hammer making him feel invincible

Aphrodite’s song is heard in the breathy kisses of teenagers

Shes found walking down the street, lips a blood red

Punching the men who dare disrespect her  

Hermes is seen with a smirk as he walks long well-traveled roads

Delivering the messages of those needing to be heard

Traveling, telling stories, and wearing out another pair of shoes

Dionysus’s voice heard only over the pounding bass in the bar

Keeping watch over young girls drinks

Dancing, partying and living as he throws another one back

Hades is seen weeping over the graves of those taken much to soon

Looking to his wife for comfort

He’s long lost his faith in humanity

Persephone found in the gardens beside her mother in the spring

Brushing off girl’s dirty knees and putting flower crowns on their heads

She can be seen holding onto hades as he mourns the loss of life

Hecate will be found running metaphysical shops

Bringing hope to powerful women wanting more

Selling potions, nobody thinks will work

And collecting graveyard dirt for a new spell

Zeus is watching over everyone

Watches Athena cry

Hera curse the men, he being one of them

Poseidon’s glares

Demeter’s harsh words

Ares raising his shield

Apollos singing

Artemis as she tracks a new beast

Watches Hephaestus work

Sees Aphrodite punch

Hears Hermes words

Sees hades weep

And Persephone plant and comfort her partner

And grins as Hecate keeps magic alive

The old gods are not dead

They are alive

And they are watching
