"I seldom cahoot"

babe wake up biblically accurate Hades just dropped

[witchydespoina]

Incels are getting mad about Hades 2 when they’re not even the target audience. The TRUE target audience for Hades 2 are disaster bisexuals who want to smash sad lonely men and/or women that could kill them. And also roguelike enjoyers I guess.

RS Went Out of Her Way to Give Hades an Oedipus Complex.

Something struck me as odd when I saw images of LO’s pilot.

This was Rhea’s original design; she had galaxy skin like Kronos.

When Lore Olympus became a WEBTOON original, her design changed, which I honestly consider a good thing. Rhea was always associated with nature as opposed to space. So, did RS give her a more rustic design? Did she get her signature turret crown, or maybe a lion motif?

Nope.

Rhea, (who is described as an EARTH titaness within Lore Olympus itself) was redesigned…to be a pink Persephone clone.

And this isn’t a case where you can argue “oh, well everyone is a Persephone clone cuz same face syndrome, it doesn’t mean anything in-universe!!,” because in the comic, Persephone was established to be a canonical Rhea lookalike when Helios mistook a description of Persephone for a description of Rhea.

They have fundamentally identical designs, and both RS and the narrative know it.

On top of this, Hades describes both Rhea & Persephone to be very kind (and otherwise just similar personality-wise). So, um…Hades basically married a fun-sized version of his long-lost mom.

Which makes this line all the more disturbing.

Hades is interested in Persephone being titan-sized, and I feel like it isn’t a stretch to say this is a sexual thing. The fandom treats it as a haha funny joke, like “aw Hades has a giantess fetish lol 🤪” but I feel like everyone’s ignoring the fact that giant Persephone would look exactly like a pale Rhea clone. It’s not rocket science; large Persephone is basically just Rhea.

And Hades wants to see this….for fetish reasons?

RS knows what she’s doing. She deliberately redesigned Rhea to be pink (when she is canonically an EARTH titaness, and would’ve benefited far more from being a shade of green or brown). She went out of her way to create both physical and personality parallels to Persephone and Rhea, even having a character confuse a description of Persephone for Rhea. She threw in implications that Hades has a giantess fetish, meaning he’d be sexually attracted to Persephone when she’d look exactly like his mom. She made all these story decisions…to give Hades an Oedipus complex. There’s no classy way to put it; RS made Hades fall in love with a clone of his dead fucking mom.

You can’t even argue “oh, well, it’s Greek mythology!” because, correct me if I’m wrong, but Hades wanting to fuck his mom was nowhere in the original myths. Plus, RS has taken measures to remove incest from her story. Persephone is not related to Rhea in Lore Olympus, there is no reason she should look this much like her. This serves no narrative purpose, RS did it for shits and giggles, and it only makes Hades look like 10x more of a creep.

I’ll end this post with a little spot-the-difference between Rhea & Perse. To make matters worse, this is arguably the most Rhea-like Persephone has looked…and it was in Hades’ dream. So, uh, do with that as you will.

why am i emotional over a text from orias

[hopenight]

So I'm working on a Hades fanfic that I have been calling "Zag continues to break generational trauma by going to fucking therapy" because like 2020s souls are coming to the Underworld from other paradise realms to settle.

Yes. His therapist is a long island woman who takes no shit. Yes. I love her.

But the part that I am laughing the most that I find funny are like the little touches of modernity that some residents of Elysium have adopted. Achilles has a record player because "you mean I can listen to songs on repeat??? Please???"

Pat, meanwhile, has been adopted by a small commune of folks who have a book club. Said book club is really reading monsterfucking erotica and getting day drunk. Look at him living his best life. He got summoned once in the middle of it and showed up to help Achilles wreck Theseus in a pink cowgirl hat.

I always get so interested by your discussions about the Greek Gods. I was always that kid more obsessed with dragons and monsters over gods and goddesses - like the whole "as a child you were either into the dragonology books, the egyptology books or the wizardology books - I was firmly in camp dragonolofy while my bestie was into egyptology.

I could probably name dozens of Greek monsters, but when it comes to the Gods and Goddesses? Nah, I'm pretty clueless, so I'm always very interested in everything you have to say about them. Every time I've seen something about them they all just seem to be complete assholes, so I could honestly care less about them, but your version of them that fleshes them out is honestly much more interesting.

I was absolutely obsessed with greek and norse mythology as a kid. Read every book of myths I could get my hands on because I loved the way the gods could be clearly wrong and experience semi-consequences (in norse myths at least, more greek gods never get punished for anything).

In college when I'd get really drunk at parties I would just start re-telling greek myths to people around me and slowly gathering a crowd. The human urge to listen to tell stories. People would come up to me and be ask if I was going to have a story time it was great. I loved telling norse myths because most people hadn't heard them before, but sometimes someone would ask about a greek god and it was like the floodgates being opened lol

I was actually really interested in "modern retellings" of greek myths the first part of 2024 and ended getting really frustrated because a lot of them feel like they'd be better served as original fiction than saying "oh no this is about hades and persephone" especially when so much of it actually does a really bad job re-imagining the gods and the story. I dnf-ed Neon Gods because it was pissing me off so bad. Like the political structure was more interesting than the "romance" and I was just... bored.

Anyway re-telling greek myths is one of my favorite things to do because they're so interesting to play with if you know the players and the story well.

Don’t mind me just thinking about zag and persephone’s mother-son relationship and mel and hades’ father-daughter relationship

Hadesphone is not Beauty and the Beast. It’s not Catradora. It’s not Entrapdak. It’s not Ambrosius and Ballister. It’s not a powerful beautiful complex romance story. Hadesphone is Reylo. The Kissing Booth Fifty Shades of Grey After Hardin Scott style. He kidnapped her, he broke her mother’s heart and spirit, he caused winter. He’s not a bad guy because he’s the god of the underworld. He’s not as bad as Zeus. The God of Dead can be a wonderful title, benevolently dividing living beings from dead souls, punishing those who need punishment. Hades constantly being villainized for that specific reason doesn’t make sense. But, he still sucks because he’s whiny and dangerous, and Persephone did not travel to the underworld by herself. He sucks for different reasons.

Eros and Psyche is Beauty and the Beast. Not Hadesphone. They’re the complex, messy, and gorgeous romance story. They’re an addicting Greek mythology ship. They’re catradora and entrapdak and goldenheart. They’re dynamic, they’re toxic but redemptive. They’re not abusive, they’re magical, they have issues, and they sort it out, they’re a dark but hopeful romance story.

Hades and Persephone is shit. And it’s okay to like shit, I myself enjoy a McDonald’s Fish Filet burger from time to time, many shitty ships are intriguing. But to paint them off as a complicated but loving story- to the point where the general public fuckin forgot how awful Hades was- the constant romanticization and glamorization of Hadesphone (Lore Olympus sure contributed) disappoints me lmao

listen, i need Colin and Portia to be lifelong enemies in the funniest way possible. Penelope thinks the feud started when he informed Portia very clearly that whether she understands it or not, he's marrying her daughter, die mad at about it (and how she's wrong about Penelope and how wonderful he finds her) but Portia's *been* had beef with this boy since he ruined her 'get Marina married off' plans in season 1. Colin and Portia see one another in a hallway and it's on SIGHT

"Colin, how good to see you finally looking presentable for once." "Portia, what a lovely headpiece, it hides your horns so well."
