Wip for blorbo I’m wanting to write with! (Ignore the flatness of the colors I haven’t done anything with them yet TvT)
This is Azrael! I’ve had him around for a long while now, and he originally started as an antagonistic character for someone else that then got ✨accidental development✨ so you know he’s going to be a blast with morally questionable characters XD. Also, for reference, this drawing is meant to be towards the end of his character development; hence the softer rounded shapes, relaxed expression, and generally more comfortable design/body language.
I’ve made a few aus for him, but in his primary storyline he is a deity of heartache and companionship that didn’t quiiiiiiite realize he could embody anything *besides* misery for a long while. I’m not going to get into his entire story rn, but the main idea is that he had previously doubled down on the idea of being an antagonist and in his own words a “blight” as a means to cope with believing that’s all he was capable of being, and then having to face the consequences of that mentality when he causes irreparable damage to a loved one and faces the concept of grief for the first time. Very much a “teenage angst” kind of character, but I still love him and his development and I think he’ll be very fun to shove at characters lol. Specifically I was thinking of putting him with Hades! A troubled deity playing up this big bad image when he’s actually a sensitive little thing with major self esteem issues sounds perfect to the god if death that honestly seems like he has similar self image issues and about as equally healthy methods of handling it XD
Soooooo yeah! This is the first of the beans I’m debuting, and I’m hoping to do some actual writing with him soon!

This seems like such a neat idea!! Honestly feels in line with the character and would show a rlly interesting character dynamic that puts Hades in a more understandable light without changing the structure of his morality
We love characters that can still be loving without being definitively “good” lol
Theory as to Why Disney's Hades Wanted to Overthrow Zeus
So, I was thinking recently about why Hades tries to overthrow Zeus in Disney's Hercules. The reason that the Muses give us is because he "thought the dead were dull and uncouth", but that feels super flimsy to me as an excuse. Especially when we see Hades say this:
He points out the scheme's been around for 18 years, which means that Hades had set up the hostile takeover scheme right around Hercules's birth, but he hadn't checked with the Fates until the day Zeus had that party for Hercules on Olympus. How do we know he hadn't checked before? Clotho tells Lachesis they are not supposed to tell anyone the future. I doubt she'd argue if they'd already told Hades the future of his plans before.
Also, while Hades may not like his job, his job makes him the most powerful king because EVERYONE will eventually become his subject. Why would he even want to rule over the living if he thinks the dead are so dull and uncouth? It's not like being dead robs you of intelligence or good manners... So why then would he want to rule Olympus and overthrow Zeus?
Well, I noticed this in the song "One Last Hope".
The song has Fall and Winter. If you've studied Greek Mythology, you know that means Hades is married because Fall and Winter happen in Greek mythology when Persephone is in the Underworld. We actually do see Persephone and Demeter in several shots on Olympus in the movie.
On top of that, Hades says this when he's offering his deal to Hercules.
I think that Hades decided to overthrow Zeus because he was angry that Persephone had to spend Spring and Summer with her mother, rather than being his wife and Queen all the time AND on top of that, he had to take the rap for Demeter causing a mass famine over her daughter's marriage to him. Here's why I think this.
When Hades shows up, he tries to break the ice with a joke, but we see the party glaring at him. You know who we don't see? Demeter, who by all accounts, SHOULD be there and the ANGRIEST with him. After all, in Greek myth, he kidnapped his wife. But she's noticeably ABSENT.
The ones glaring at him are Ares, Athena, Poseidon, Dionysus/Bacchus, and Aphrodite. All people who were likely massively affected by the massive famine Demeter put in place. Wars and tactical strategies don't go well if the people are starving to the point of death, repopulation drops if there's not enough food, if there's no grapes growing, there's no wine or drunken madness, and besides the ocean, Poseidon is also over horses and many horses likely died due to lack of plant growth. But they don't seem to be mad at Demeter, given Poseidon is chatting with her earlier in the scene.
Instead, all the ire seems to be directed at Hades, who, as far as we know, hasn't DONE anything to warrant that reaction. All he did was tell a poor joke, but everyone is looking at him like he caused a major problem by being there. Hades brushes their reactions off and starts trying to play nice and then Zeus grabs him and says, "You finally made it!" And notice Hades's face here:
Hades looks so uncomfortable with Zeus trying to make small talk, but he's trying to hide his negative emotions. He's forcing a smile and when Zeus asks how things are in the Underworld, he responds with this:
Hades, then focuses on Hercules, and doesn't seem to have a problem with him until he crushes his finger, but the point where Hades drops the mask and shows his ire is when Zeus says "Join the celebration!"
He says, "Hey! Love to, babe, but unlike you gods lounging about up here, I, regrettably, have a full-time gig, that you, by the way, so charitably bestowed on me, Zeus. So, can't. Love to but can't." He then quickly leaves.
I hear this as Hades subtly reminding Zeus that he has a taxing job that he can't be away from too long, especially now that the one person who SHOULD, by all means, be there to help him with the load of running the Underworld, can't be there half the time to help him get the excess work under control. Persephone, unlike the rest of the wives in the Greek Pantheon, has EQUAL power to Hades, which means that if she'd been able to be with him all year, they'd likely get the work done faster and could do things other than work.
Zeus makes a joke about Hades working himself to death, a few of the Olympians laugh, but again, Demeter and Persephone are missing from the scene.
Hades, however, is very upset at the joke at his expense and he mutters, "If only... If only..." when Zeus says he kills himself. Back in the Underworld, Hades says this about Zeus.
Now, we just saw Zeus be super welcoming to Hades at the party for Hercules. Why on Earth would Hades call Zeus "Mr. High and Mighty, Mr. "Hey, you, get off of my cloud"? I think Zeus behaved this way when Hades argued against the summons for Persephone to return to Demeter. Persephone is the Queen of the Underworld, and in myth, the reason Hades kidnapped Persephone? Her father, ZEUS, told him to do so.
Zeus is the reason for Persephone's kidnapping and marriage. Hades was following the law of Ancient Greece at the time. Ancient Greece was cool about many things, but women's rights? Not one of them. Greek men, if they wanted to get married, arranged it with the father of the bride. The mother and the bride herself had little to no say. So, in actuality, the one at fault when Demeter caused a mass famine? Zeus. The famine was actually targeting Zeus, because if all humans died, he'd get no more sacrifices, and all the dead become Hades and Persephone's subjects.
So I think that Zeus realized how ENRAGED Demeter was and made Persephone return to her mother, but Hades tried to argue against it because Persephone was his partner is a very demanding job and he'd gotten Zeus's permission, but Zeus used his title as King to force Hades to comply. As in, "I already decided, so we're done talking about it. Now, leave and go home." That would explain also why Hades says this:
Another thing I see as a hint to Hades attempting to overthrow Zeus because he's mad about the Persephone situation? When he's in the mortal world, Hades only destroys a few things. One is the statue of lovers that he uses as a throne when he's questioning Meg about Hercules's weakness, another is the vases of Hercules because he's mad that he can't beat him, but the other two? Plant life.
In the Homeric Hymn to Demeter, the main source for the Hades and Persephone myth, it's Demeter who brings back spring and plant life because she's happy about Persephone's return to her, not Persephone herself making the plants grow. While this could just be Hades taking out his frustrations on his surroundings, I find it interesting that he DECIMATES a grove of trees because Hercules is alive and could muck up his plans and that he burns a flower when he figures Hercules's weakness, which are often a sign of Springtime. It's almost like he's taking out his anger at Demeter's famine costing him his wife by destroying the plant life that Demeter creates as some small way to vent his frustrations. And speaking of Hercules's weakness, once Meg points out that monsters haven't been working against Hercules, Hades says this:
Now, given by this point, we KNOW due to "One Last Hope" that Hades and Persephone are married. I think this played into him figuring out to use Meg against Hercules. On top of that, Hades says this when Hercules is worried about innocent people getting hurt because of the deal:
I think Hades might have the same mentality about overthrowing Olympus. Having his wife back is more important to him than the ire of the rest of Olympus. Having his wife back is more important than keeping the Titans locked away. Having his wife back is worth being hated by all of Greece. Given the short time frame of his plot and all these other little things in his behavior, I really do think the reason that Hades decided to overthrow Zeus was so he could reverse the order for Persephone to spend half the year with him and half the year with her mother. But that's just my little theory/headcanon.
TLDR: I think the reason Hades tried to overthrow Zeus in Disney's Hercules was because he was angry he could only be with Persephone half the year.

I’m not entirely certain what to put here, but I figured if I’m going to make this a thing then I might as well introduce myself! For the sake of this blog you can call me Edin, my pronouns are they/fey, and I’m a 20 year student old writer currently in the process of formatting their first book series.
I’ve always had a huge obsession with film and literature in general, but for the sake of this blog to keep it precise I’m probably just going to focus on Disney products and Disney antagonists.
As for why I’m here with a page I’ve essentially been writing little Oc x canon villain stories in my head for years as and finally said “fuck it, I can’t just keep this in my head any longer”. This isn’t meant to be a particularly serious blog, really just a place to encourage me to get comfortable sharing any version of my work with a wide audience, but it seems like this could be a fun way to show off some of my characters and writing style. I mostly intend to post OC x canon work as well as some tidbits so you know who the fuk these OC’s actually are, but I’m also open to writing canon x reader headcanons and stories for Disney villains if anyone is looking to see that as well.
With that being said, this is probably a good place for disclaimers:
First of all this is an 18+ blog. I am not specifically catering towards erotica for my writing or this page, but I will incorporate sex into a story if it is narratively fitting/requested. The same stands for other mature or potentially triggering topics, so for minor safety I must advise that this blog be skipped if you are under the age of 18.
As for generally triggering topics I generally draw the line at in depth depictions of SA and rape, and fully draw the line at any depiction of incest, but that doesn’t mean that I can’t imagine there being no potentially triggering material in my stories. Any possibly uncomfortable topic will be tagged in warnings at the beginning of the story with a severity scale, but I still want to give warning that there will likely be potentially triggering topics depicted on this page if that is a hard no for anyone.
Finally this is not a place where I will tolerate any form of harassment or discrimination against any marginalized community, and I will block anyone that wishes to engage with this blog or anyone participating on it in a hateful manner. I myself am afab, autistic, and a part of the LGBTQIA, and I will not allow my communities or any other to be targeted on this page.
I should probably also add a list of characters I’ll write for, so I’ll put that here:
Hades
Jafar
Frollo
Maleficent
Ursula
Captain Hook
Dr. Facilier
Ratigan
Yzma
Cruella
Gantu
Long John Silver
Hans
Shan Yu
Magnifico (hate the movie but that dumbass of a man will NOT leave my brain)
I’m also potentially willing to write for Gaston, Clayton, and Rourke, but I have more difficulty connecting with them so I can’t guarantee that they’ll stay here.
That’s about everything I can think of right now for an introduction, and ofc I’ll update this post as needed, so for right now I will send this off with the hope that this page will find its people and that this is a neat little place for you!💚💚💚
