Does it surprise you, when you see the autumn leaves darken like blood, like the trees are bleeding out their last mournful farewells to the warmth?

Even when you knew all too well that it would happen? Because you know the seasons, you anticipate the pain...

But does it surprise you every time that it's come so soon?

When just yesterday the warm summer rain refused to fall. The mosquitoes rose in thick, angry clouds.

But the trees. They mourn.

- Demeter

Suprise can be true for some. Yet to those who feel as old as those mourning trees, time passes as swiftly as the flap of a bird's wing. As swiftly as a leaf falls from the tree come those autumn months.

Anticipation keeps our minds captive, just when will the leaves bleed and cry? Torn from homes known all their lives. Just when will the air turn cold? No longer full of sweet summer.

One can only guess, anticipate and worry.

Yet it suprises us just the same. Perhaps it came sooner, later. But still, the leaves bleed and the trees mourn with the cold wind whispering in our ears.

Sometimes I wish I was like the others, to whom time passes in a blur. As they live life in a way that seems timeless. Yet I do not at the same time. Wondering what I'd be missing in those short lived moments. Just what happened those years ago? Would I never know?

To me, time still feels endless. Does it feel endless to you?

Do those days of light streaking across the sky that fades into deep darkness with dazzling stars keep you for eons?

Or is everything nothing but a blink? Once it was winter now it is summer, does it feel the same? Does the speeding tempo of time's sound the same to that slow, steadiness of nature?

Hey—uh, I’m new I guess? I just got here yesterday and I’m wondering how long it takes someone to get claimed? (Because some of the other campers are trying to test who my parent is)

Also, why is there a lava rock climbing wall?

-Tae, unclaimed camper

Hi!

Most demigods nowadays are claimed when they turn 13. If you're older than 13, you should have been claimed as soon as you got to camp.

I don't really know why there's lava on the rock wall. Added challenge, I guess?

Love that I did Demeter 's face 🤣🤣🤣🤣

The golden hair Demeter, with wheat hair that blows in the wind and soft grass skin (like, fuzzy I guess). I imagine she loves mortals very much and is a survivor of the kind who is not ashamed of her past or the vulnerabilities she has experienced. Farming is such a hard job that requires quick thinking and even faster problem solving, so I imagine her always getting her hands dirty too. But this natural appearance camouflages her connection with death, that it is still present due to the fact that the wheat in her hair 'dies'/'dries out'.

Demeter made me think a lot about how we focus on Zeus, Poseidon and Hades, as if they were 'bigger', the big three… But man, she was very worshipped, she was the goddess of fertility and agriculture and DEATH. Was she left aside in the modern era due to pure misogyny perhaps? Because so there re many myths and tributes to her make me think that the real 'big three' were her (Earth), Zeus (Sky) and Poseidon (Sea). Or that there wasn't even a big three at the end...

As for her approach as a controlling mother to Persephone, I don't hate it, sometimes it's interesting, but it seems like just a shadow of Demeter… She's not perfect, but what mother is? Even so, I can't see her as controlling, but rather desperate just to know how her daughter was doing. And it's good to remember that she had more children!! And she was a great mother to them ;w; so, let's see what I'll do with her… but she's a crucial piece!

Someone once said to me that grief and love are sisters, for you cannot have one without the other. To have loved is to have lost.

To grieve is to be human.

Edited this illustration again because I wasn’t quite satisfied with it :)

I must sleep now, but I will dream of you.

May you rest well, and wake to a beautiful sky.

And I hope your dreams be wonderful, full of love and laughter.

I've lived in camp my whole life, but I've recently been claimed by my father.

He's Aztec... Can I stay or do I have to leave?

- Sophea, daughter of Xolotl

I am... not aware of any children from other pantheons staying here, but I also don't know if there are any places for Aztec demigods! I'd say you can stay unless your dad tries to send you somewhere else :D

Demeter ' s Mother Gothal vibes

Demeter: Remember Kore Persphone. To never go see any gods. Or do anything fun. Ever.

Persphone: I wanna be queen of the underworld!

Demeter: NO!

[amphitriteswife]

To me i’ve always hated that someone needed to be the bad guy, either Demeter to the Hades and Persephone shippers or Hades to Demeter fans but personally i think everyone could have their reasons and talk it out, cause like Demeter and Hades could have a convo and actually come to an agreement while also taking Persephone’s wishes into consideration

May change it later, but this is just a start of something I wanted to work on. Also may change the title too.

I've seen some retellings of the hymn of Demeter, but not many actually have Demeter as the main focus. It is HER hymn! And she loved Persephone. I wanna see her as an actual loving mother, not some bad helicopter parent some portray her as!

I'm doing some research while writing this so it can be good.
