constantly fighting and loosing the battle to design our own gayboy transneutral version of hades and persephone/kore bc 1) we're gay. and 2) we cant stand LO and how the author goes about. well. everything. but esp gender/sexuality/social roles. its just really fuckin sexist all the way down and incredibly het in the weirdest most divorced way. no overt queers?? in MY greek myth inspired story?? i dont wanna get into LO apollo the scarring is too fresh

#my t #its just the weirdest ''''retelling'''' of that myth weve ever come across #tho most retellings of hades and persephone are imo #idk like #the 'feminist retelling' of this myth was the og dawg #kore is violated and the world plunged into fuckin chaos and death and wasnt right again until she herself was brought justice #she was never Fixed. she never was like magically restored. she was changed. but at the end of the day she had justice (spring and summer)#poor fuckin demeter in LO jesus christ #its one of those stories where we always raise a brow at anyone who tries to like #'''upgrade''' it thru a 'feminist lens' cause what theyre really doing more often than not is 2010s girlbossifying it #and punishing a mother going thru a parents worst fuckin nightmare by turning her into a wicked stepmother?????#idk what those ppl were reading but when i read the myth all i thought was 'oh this is abt stranger danger and grooming and dfab kids #being failed by most or all of the adults in their lives. yeah i get that'#this post brought to you by: LO IS OVER!!!!!!
