6 hours… But the big three are done! <3

Next is Apollo, Ares, Dionysus, and Hermes.

I don’t understand the urge to completely remove the kidnapping from Persephone’s story, if anything it’s what makes her relationship with Hades so interesting and complex, he kidnapped her, but he also treats her like an equal, listens to her wisdom, doesn’t get in the way of her decisions as queen, compare and contrast that to Zeus and Hera who were said to be lovers before they got married only for their marriage to be absolutely chaotic and toxic. The dichotomy of the beginning of these relationships vs what comes after is very interesting to explore.

My next embroidery project. This time on Hades and Persephone from a vase. This is one of my favorite stories from Greek mythology.

Centuries ago

Not exactly sure what this is. I guess it’s sort of a play on Hades and Persephone but Chloé and Marinette.

This week on 'Life With The Olympians'

Persephone: I'm cold

Hades: *Immediately wraps her in his coat*

Apollo: . . . Where did you get him, cause I want one

[mer-acle]

Hades

You know, the reasonable one of the big three.

His color is purple... For the very simple reasons that I would have done blue but not everyone can be blue, and I don't really feel red so... Color mixing haha (also I believe purple can be a mourning color?)

His brooch cloak thingy is a coin bc the souls have to pay to be admitted to the underworld.

And he has the stupidest weapon of them all, the goddamn Bident lol

Idk I think he's serving

Here's how I made him:

Also wouldn't it be so funny if it came out he was in EPIC last saga? (Please Jorge actually do not)

[imagineee-123]

Hades, to me, is the feeling of warmth in the solitude of nature. The sounds of crickets and distant foliage rustling. A subtle indication you're not alone. The luminescent glow of fire that lights the deep blue void with heated orange, warming the cool, smooth surface of your skin. A soft, gentle breeze caressing your face and hugging your soul. The reminder that, although lonely, things will be alright. And one day, you'll be home to him. The reminder of ashes to ashes and dust to dust.

He's so fatherly and loving.. <3

cabin thirteen - children of hades, god of the underworld. introverted, dark, intuitive

‘please don’t ever become a stranger whose laugh I could recognize anywhere’ - new years day

[hades-bat]

puppy appreciation post

[melpomenewoes]

continuing with my “I really want a titanomachy adaptation with young versions of the og olympians” with a self indulgent focus on hades

Hades - this is supposed to be them post-escaping Cronus but I cheated and did my design for Hades after the war ends. Exposed skull = consequence of marred divine beauty for being bound to the underworld (more on that later) but he experiences life with his parents until good ole dad gets prophecy-paranoia-plague

Zeus - has seen sunshine, hair puffs up like a storm cloud when angry, quite frizzy after a battle, quite fond of bonding with his traumatized brothers by shocking them with his grand discovery of static electricity (sure would hate it if this sweet boy didn’t stay sweet once he’s king of the gods hmmmm)

Poseidon - fish inside a birdcage, got eaten as baby and was basically raised by hades and is very attached to him during the war, longs for something he doesn’t know exists (i.e. the ocean), sea foam hair

(Also, for note, in this version Hera, Hestia, and Demeter aren’t their sisters and come from a different source of god creation. Haven’t quite conjured that explanation up though, but they gang up with the brothers three as well.)

You complain about your Greek mythology faves being unfairly portrayed as villains, I complain about my faves being portrayed as villains in a way that I feel is boring or out of character for them, we are not the same.

Updated altar tour!!!

Hades & Persephone

They share an altar! Not much has changed since i last posted a picture of it except that i added a bracelet, but to recap, they’ve got:

A raven and skull Halloween decoration

A bracelet i made with Hades in mind and hung around the raven’s neck

Red Crowley-ish sunglasses

A candle holder from the thrift store

A stone snake figurine thing

A geode(?)/sparkly rock

A bat plushie (named Marcel the Mycelium Bat by my friend)

A bracelet i made for Persephone and put on the bat

Persephone’s offering bowl, a flowerpot with a crow(?) feather and a (now dead) flower

Vials of fake herbs (another Halloween decoration)

A poison apple spellbook Halloween decoration

A Hadestown magnet

A little red candle

Hades’ offering bowl, a thrifted metal bowl apparently made in 1978 (that’s the date carved on it at least) with crystals, coins, rocks, a key, a silver Beetlejuice bracelet, a button shaped like a cat eye, and a letter in it

Dionysus

Not much has changed since i last showed y’all Dionysus’s altar, but they’ve got:

A satyr statue i made in an art class

A painting with colors i associate with them

A nonbinary flag-colored heart charm

Two pinecones

A big bead with eerily similar colors to the lesbian flag

A bracelet

A gold paper heart a member of my high school a cappella group made me

Two amethyst crystals

My pronoun pin

A purple candle

Athena

Athena’s hasn’t changed much either, but it’s got:

My kindle

My vintage-looking desk light

Its offering bowl, a flower pot shaped like a statue head, with a crow feather, a little turkey feather, a massive turkey tail feather, and a Good Omens pen

A fall-scented candle

A Kamala Harris magnet from The Female Power Project

Two little plastic trophies

A few blue stones

A puzzle

An offering of iced tea & lemonade that Athena didn’t really like but didn’t want me to take it off its altar and still doesn’t (i tried it and it’s really sweet but like in a bad way so i can see why it doesn’t like it lol)

Hermes

Hermes’s altar has some new additions! I mainly got then because i wanna bring something from each altar with me to college that i won’t lose, and since candles aren’t allowed i got him something else, so now he has:

His candle (which I’m still obsessed with)

A wax doll my dad got me from a Voodoo practitioner’s shop on a business trip to New Orleans

A feather

A Newsies keychain

A marble

A tiny rubber duck figurine

Dice

What i think is Dalmatian Jasper but I could be wrong??

A couple more shiny rocks

A bracelet

A couple coins

A brand new statue (which is what I’m bringing to college)!!! It came with what I’m guessing is a little baby Hermes but I don’t really know, and a caduceus that I just realized he can hold

Artemis

Artemis’s hasn’t changed much either, except for a few added trinkets, so right now she has:

A candle

An animal skull-shaped fish tank decoration i got from my friend’s yard sale (coincidentally the same friend who named Marcel the Mycelium Bat)

A silver ring from prom

A few rocks

A little crystal, i think it’s amethyst??

A Totoro figurine

A crescent moon selenite offering bowl

An acorn

A mug inspired by her I made junior year of high school with a crow feather in it

A gold crescent moon charm

Apollo

I haven’t shown Apollo’s altar yet because he’s relatively new to the group of deities i work with/worship! He’s got:

A tall ass candle

A wolf plushie

A rainbow… thing, it’s too big to be a bracelet but too small to be a necklace so it’s his now

A gold plastic coin thing

A fake lavender-looking flower

A glass bauble charm filled with yellow glitter

My tarot cards

An award i got senior year from the music program (I scribbled out my name on the photo)

An HRC water bottle that’s kinda hidden behind the award

A couple rocks

A yellow plastic gummy bear

A squishy yellow unicorn fidget toy

A plastic toy milkshake (he thought it was funny)

Aphrodite

Aphrodite has a couple additions to her altar, too! We’ve got:

A drawing I made for her

A pretty little teal rock

Two shells

A tiny pink candle

A piece of a plastic crown from my high school’s production of Mean Girls last year, I have no idea how i ended up with it but here we are

A thing of blush (rarely used, i thought she might appreciate it more)

Coconut and pear-scented chapstick

A shell kinda shaped like a bowl with a pearly charm, two pink paper stars, and a tiny rose charm in it

Her offering bowl, a teacup, saucer, and spoon shaped like a flower, leaf, and ladybug respectively that was a graduation present from a friend!! While they’re not quite Aphrodite’s style, she still likes them on her altar because they were a symbol of platonic love!!

A bracelet in her offering bowl

[h0bg0blin-meat]

Hades: Do you think I'm dumb??

Demeter:

Hades: Do I look dumb?-

Hades: Don't answer that.

Demeter:
