#Nagatha Christie about this

[vorcotec]

so uh... just.. wanted 2 put this out here for aides verse, because i think i had multiple people interested in writing a persephone-type character:

it’s still jane rachel we’re talking about. there are going to be NO manipulative or kidnap or non-consent elements in their relationship. NONE. if your persephone came down to hades and was like “wow this sucks, i wanna go home,” aides would let her go. if your persephone met this Extremely Tall Edvard-Munch’s-The-Scream-Looking Lady and went “wow, hell no” aides would leave her alone.

aides has a preoccupation with boundaries which i’ve touched on in multiple places but it doesn’t just derive from the boundary between life and death. hades is associated with the erinyes, the furies who come to avenge unlawful death, and with the swearing of oaths. i personally get STRONG vibes of an association with the boundary between just and unjust acts--not in the sense of deciding which is which, but in the sense of bringing down the fcking hammer when explicitly unjust actions are taken (according to divine law, e.g. a situation that would call for the intervention of the furies, or according to the terms of an oath which has been broken).

aides? would see the kidnap of persephone as an unjust act. in the original myth it’s seemingly less unjust because hades has permission from zeus (eugh and ew and gross and ugh), but aides is, again, a different character from hades and, being a woman albeit with certain kingly attributes, has different ideas about whose permission matters. kidnapping a wife for herself would be against pretty much everything she believes in.
