Quick sketches of the Hades and Persephone last night so I don’t forget their designs

[persephoneskid]

just had my first "wth" moment when interacting with persephone's altar. i had a feeling she wanted to say something, so i asked (using my pendulum) if that was the case.

she said yes. i decided to try to use the pendulum/keyboard method for the first time, and she spelled "lemon". i asked if she wanted a lemon as an offering and she said yes again.

i started to worry bc i didn't think i had one, but i checked my fridge and there was a single lemon in there. when i put it in her altar, her candle started to dance like crazy.

i asked again, with the pendulum, if she was happy with her offering and she said yes :')

How “he saw a Persephone better than Persephone” was considered acceptable to say let alone write down is so funny, aren’t Hades and Persephone supposed to be super terrifying to ancient ppl?

“Theophilê Hekataiou gives her greeting. They were wooing me, Theiophilê the short-lived daughter of Hekataios, those young men [seeking] a maiden for marriage. But Hades seized me first, since he was longing for me When he saw a Persephone better than Persephone. [….] And when the message is carved on the stone He weeps for the girl, Theiophilê the Sinopian, Whose father, Hekataios, gave the torch-holding bride-to-be To Hades and not a marriage. […] Maiden Theiophilê, no marriage awaits you, but a land With no return; not as the bride of Menophilos, But as a partner in Persephone’s bed. Your father Hekataios Now has only the name of the pitiable lost girl. And as he looks on your shape in stone he sees The unfulfilled hopes Fate wrongly buried in the ground. Theiophilê, a girl allotted beauty envied by mortals, A tenth Muse, a Grace for marriage’s age, A perfect example of prudence. Hades did not throw his dark hands around you. No, Pluto lit the flames for the wedding torches With his lamp, welcoming a most desired mate. Parents, stop your laments now, stop your grieving, Theiophilê has found an immortal bed.”

sorry persephone retellings but you will never surpass the glory of amber gray in hadestown. persephone with a smoker’s rasp. persephone in green, weary of this world, persephone in black and hopeful that orpheus will succeed. persephone as an alcoholic to self-medicate her depression. persephone as a middle-aged woman with all the wisdom and bad habits that it brings. persephone in a speakeasy cheering for her husband’s workers if only for a moment because she doesn’t know what else to do. persephone and hades parting to try again next time again and again and again as the seasons turn. persephone as a bright and flickering light with her own shadows but burning bright nonetheless
