a little moment of connection between Demeter and Tantomile

Petra Ilse Dam's Tantomile seems to understand Demeter very well—among other things, she picks up immediately on her unease about fake Deuteronomy, and reacts with aggression towards him.

(alternatively: Demeter realising she has no chance at getting between Coricopat and Tantomile and their twinsync.)

Cute!

I found this footage a day too late for Greycat day, but look! She can have a little Bombashanks. As a treat.

And if we go with the theory that Grizabella isn't Munkustrap's mother but a former lover - look, there's another lovely triad on the other side! That sweet look Demeter gives her. Demeter's just so happy to have Grizabella and Munkustrap reconciled and to be able to show her the same love and acceptance that she found in the Junkyard..!

(Meanwhile Tuggoffelees...)

This is from an interview with some cast members on the closing night of the original London production. Tugger is John Partridge, Benjamin Tyrrell is Mistoffelees, Ross Finnie is Skimbleshanks, Alexis Owen-Hobbs is Bombalurina, Summer Strallen is Greycat, Barbara King is Demeter, Chrissie Hammond is Grizabella, and Jack Rebaldi is Munkustrap.

As there is no motive for concealment, I am permitted to use them, and accordingly send you a rescript, simply omitting technical details of seamanship and supercargo. It almost seems as though the captain had been seized with some kind of mania before he had got well into blue water, and that this had developed persistently throughout the voyage. Of course my statement must be taken cum grano, since I am writing from the dictation of a clerk of the Russian consul, who kindly translated for me, time being short.

Interestingly, this is one of the few accounts (if not only) in the book that we know for a fact have been altered. Of course, we shouldn't totally discount the differences between shorthand vs. written English, but this is still another level. The captain's log as we know it has been translated from another language and had details removed. Those details were pretty much just technical jargon that wouldn't interest the average reader, but still.

Mr. Swales' talk of the (lack of) trustworthiness of the written accounts on the tombstones is a good prelude to this. And indeed we see the captain suspected of insanity, some even believing he was the killer, because ay least later parts of his account don't seem realistic. There are some really interesting discussions to be had about the trustworthiness of other people's stories, about the written word specifically, and how that relates to our experience as readers as well as the characters within the world.

ok so bianca lives au!

the stress of being inside talos causes bianca to accidentally shadow travel (which explains the lack of a body)

talos is defeated, just to clarify

the quest continues on, zoe dies, and percy gets back to camp and tells nico bianca is dead

nico in this version denies it because he can feel that she isn't, but the rest of that interaction follows canon

so meanwhile bianca is in the underworld and when she figures out how to control her shadow travel she gets back to camp the day after nico leaves

unfortunately she can't do much to help find him, but she does search while also rejoining the hunters

eventually she realizes he's in the underworld, but minos leads him away before she can get there

after that it's a game of cat and mouse

nico has been convinced that he's wrong and she's dead because that serves minos' goals better

so she tries to find them, minos keeps moving away, this goes throughout the labyrinth

at the same time annabeth, percy, grover, and tyson are on their quest and have been told to keep an eye out

they see nico at the ranch and try to tell him, but he refuses to listen

after percy kills geryon, annabeth manages to send an iris message

bianca shows up, there's the reunion/explanation, nico hates percy less, and since now he has a whole reason to not trust minos, he sends minos away.

nico doesn't want to go back to camp atm, so he stays at the ranch and bianca sticks around too

then the quest continues, calypso's island happens, annabeth and percy go back in with rachel's help, etc.

bianca shows up and helps them in daedalus' workshop (nico didn't have enough control to properly return minos to the underworld so he ended up sticking with some chthonic kids from the ta)

they escape, go to camp, where nico and that immortal ares kid who's name i don't remember join them, as do the hunters

so castor doesn't die

lee still does because reasons

tlo goes more or less the same except more powerful demigods = less deaths

also hades favors bianca so she stays in the underworld freeing up nico to assist the others

plus bianca and hades, demeter, and persephone show up earlier

alabaster will probably work his way into this b/c i love him

and he is a chthonic kid so maybe...

so there you have it! bianca di angelo lives. she's also scary.

Demeter's nightmare is coming true around her...

... and she's dragged everyone she loves into it with her.

I’ve been working on a retelling of Abduction of Persephone and there are things I might add here:

This might be a black comedy work (inspirations taken from The Good Place and other American/British comedy shows)

Persephone isn’t the “Goddess of Spring” but called and praised as one

Kore is Perse’s nickname

Hades’ design is based on Jemaine Clement (I kept imagining that)

Hades is sort of an antagonist in my retelling (he’s the main antagonist at first then became a supporting character)

Persephone wears in blue green motifs in the mortal realm

Perse wasn’t aware that she’s Zeus’ daughter until she and Hades had an argument about marriage

Perse and Hades’ relationship resembled Eleanor and Michael’s from The Good Place (their role are similar to architect but Hades focused a bit on parties and sometimes punishing)

Demeter isn’t an overbearing/overprotective mother but a cool mom to Perse and Dionysus (Perse and Dio are twins and they’re both Zeus’ kids)

Perse and Dem have no knowledge of Perse being married off to Hades (Dem was in the mortal realm when the arrangement happens)

honestly i ought to be IDing the actors here but a) everyone knows that Munk at least right? and b) honestly I feel like this really is just. Demeter and Munk hanging out. at a party. being themselves. yes girl your hair game is on point today. literally.

ronan  harris  hadn't  taken  himself  into  the  public  to  practice  his  powers  ever.  his  surveying  and  reporting  was  always  done  in  a  secluded  area  or  in  the  midst  of  night,  measuring  and  analyzing  how  much  stronger  his  abilities  grew  or  how  much  he  can  handle  before  becoming  fatigued.

  this  time,  the  man  decided  to  finally  show  his  face  to  the  training  pit  in  his  workout  clothes,  a  two-toned  compressed  shirt  hugging  his  frame  with  joggers  that  hardly  kept  anything  to  the  imagination.

  he  knew  he  could  always  manipulate  it  but  instead,  ronan  focused  on  the  nearby  flowers  as  he  attempted  to  pluck  the  petals  of  its  contents  attempting  to  summon  the  liquid  to  his  fingertips.

  at  a  pinch,  he  needed  to  be  able  to  use  anything  available  to  succeed.

Okay after that comic I tagged you in yesterday. I can't stop thinking of Hades using a crow to see through it's eyes and check on Persephone. And her noticing his energy in it and just smiling and sitting in front of it doing what she was. Then kissing the crows little head to let him know she knew before slipping away in to the woods. And you cut to Hades literally just a happy giddy little puddle of joy in the underworld 😂. Though who could blame him knowing his has the heart of such a beautiful and powerful creature all to himself 😌.

Lmaooo this is cute af!! Oh Hades being his romantic self xD and agreed, the joy she brings him is unparalleled ~

and of course she'd know, she'd sense his energy anywhere - those rascals are just one being split into two c:

i think that's one of the reasons why i love them so much - as different as they may be, they also are very much alike; their views and priorities and that fire within is the same.... they are equals through and through.

Demeter: Yes, I'm brave. I fought with Macavity. I'm with Bombalurina. I'm doing patrols. But I'm not brave enough to part them.

She points on Mistoffelees and Rum Tum Tugger, shouting at each other.

                demeter  really  did understand  bowie’s  protectiveness  ,  it  was  admirable  that  she  would  want  to  protect  her  father. ‘  i  understand  ,  how  do  you  suggest  i  earn  your  trust?  ‘  demeter  asked  ,  since  she  knew  bowie  was  important  to  enzo  and  wanted  more  than  anything  to  be  close  with  the  young  women.  family  was  something  that  was  very  important  to  her  and  the  goddess  would  do  anything  to  make  sure  that  it  stayed  that  way. ‘  your  father  is  a  very  loved  man  ,  i  wouldnt  think  of  aggravating  the  people  around  him.  ‘

Bowie takes a moment to press her lips together in thought as she narrows her eyes at the other. “It takes a lot to earn my trust, and however long you might guess it took for me to trust my dad, I can guarantee that it took longer, but a promise of not hurting him is a start.” Hearing the last words, she nods her head in response and smiles a little. “That’s good to know.”
