Are there any other LO-critical projects like LR?? Doesn’t have to be comics, I like fanfic(critic-fic?) too, I’ve been really interested in reading stuff like LR

Sure is! The list I have here are just the ones I know of, there are definitely more out there if you browse the #antiLO #lo critical tags or filter your searches on fanfic sites like AO3, but I hope this gives you a good start into finding more works that scratch that itch!

Lore Asgard (AO3) - Briefly in the original LO, Persephone jokes about running off to the Norse Pantheon; Lore Asgard is what would have happened if she actually went through with it.

Lore Mictlan (AO3) - Also plays with the question of "what if Persephone ran off to the Norse Pantheon", but instead she winds up in the realm of the Aztec gods.

Pomegranmints (AO3) - Re-imagines the plot of LO if Persephone and Minthe kissed instead of fighting over Hades ٩(♡ε♡)۶

Survive the Night (Tumblr) - Not sure how long this project is planned to be but it's basically a re-imagining of LO that further explores all the deeply-rooted issues of Hades and Minthe's relationship. Very tense and emotionally raw dialogue scenes, Minthe gets a lot more agency and character exploration here.

Desire for Peace (Webtoon) - Though it's an entirely unique work separate from LO (it's not a fan comic or retelling), the creator was compelled by a distaste towards modern Greek myth retellings to create their own Greek myth comic, starring Ares as the main protagonist. It has both beautiful and unique art, and it presents a writing style that isn't as watered down and simplified as so many popular commercial Greek myth retellings tend to be. The creator is very cool and has done an amazing job at creating a true Greek myth retelling comic, without all the bells and whistles and crutches of "modernizing" the stories.

Theia Mania - Also not at all related to LO, it's just a great comic series that covers all sorts of different myths and tales, but it's most famously known for its ongoing retelling of Hades and Persephone in Queen of the Dead. Like the creator of Desire for Peace, the creator of Theia Mania is someone who Gives a Shit™️ about the source material they're writing about and does a great job at both presenting the culture of Ancient Greece at the time (so again, no modern 2000's stuff here) but also putting some of their own unique twists on an old tale. And the best part? No Demeter scapegoating to be found here <3

Lore Valhalla (Youtube/Patreon) - A brief one-shot that remakes the first episode of Lore Olympus, but with Norse gods instead of Greek. This isn't an ongoing series, just a fun project that Youtuber Crown Obsidian challenged himself to make after he read (and did not particularly enjoy) Lore Olympus.

Mictlan does not treat his assistant well. She will cry about this later on

Alma Takes Players Through The Aztec Underworld

Alma tasks players with guiding Alma, a dead soul, through the eight levels of the Aztec underworld, Mictlan. Should they succeed in leaping through the lethal mechanisms and natural hazards that litter a land inspired by Mexican folk art, they will finally help her find peace.

Each of the game's eight stages corresponds to a different level of the Aztec underworld, taking players on a journey through Aztec lore as they make their way through various platforming challenges. While these will keep players busy, they may want to stop and enjoy the game's colorful visual style, as each location is a treat to look at. The Mexican art style is a delight for the eyes even as you're sending poor Alma into another pit or getting her crushed in machines, creating a soothing experience even as you struggle to keep from falling.

Alma is available for $1.99 on Steam. For more information on the game and Turquesa Studios, you can follow them on YouTube.

Here’s some art my boyfriend made a while ago, I find the idea of Xolotl going to a university personally hilarious because what would his major even be? I don’t know and that’s funny to me for some reason.

Fun fact: Xolotl and Persephone were originally gonna be the same height.

Character references

Some rough ideas for their general designs(excuse my very simple and inexperienced drawing skills), let’s go in order to talk about them:

For Persephone I decided to keep it simple, it mostly resembles modern clothing with hints of more Mexica influence sprinkled in. She’s wearing some sandals with pendants and a short dress with little Mexica influence since she’s still pretty new. I also tweaked LO Persephone’s design a bit: more freckles, wavier hair, a more Greek-like nose and overall she’s less round shaped like LO Persephone! She’s around 157 cm or 5,2 ft.

Huitzilopochtli’s design is primarily based off on this representation:

As you can see I simplified his design a bit, specifically of his accessories in the back, mostly because at this angle they’d be pretty obstructed and because I wanted to simplify a lot of details for the sake of it. He’s short because another influence were hummingbirds. However his headdress is the tallest one out of his brothers so, you lose some you win some? He’s about 162 cm or 5,4 ft.

Xolotl was pretty simple to design, he’s a Xoloitzcuintle with a man’s torso and arms with dog feet. He’s the least dressed out of all of the characters and has the simplest design out of all of the Mexica deities. His design is based off on:

With major simplifications albeit his eagle belt is still there just not visible in the angle lol. I simplified him a lot due to his personality and his status, which will be more important in the plot later on. He’s at a nice 178 cm or 5,10 ft.

Also the twins are holding hands omg🥰

Anyways for Quetzalcoatl, his was actually both the hardest to draw and easiest to design since I really did just base his design off of multiple sources, mainly:

His headdress is also shaped like a star, since he is the precious twin and all. I don’t really have any notes but I like how his design turned out. He looks quite young and his eyes and mouth are based off on a snake. He’s also 178 cm and 5,10 ft tall, same as Xolotl.

Xipe Totec was actually difficult to draw, since there were a lot of ways I could take his design.

I took some elements of each, while putting my own spin on them. I think he turned out okay, a pretty simplified design. I feel like he came out a little sad-looking??? He’s 183 cm tall or 6 ft.

Tezcatlipoca is there. Jk, he has the most grandiose headdress, with his clothing being rather revealing. He’s pretty arrogant and thinks of himself as better than everyone or as more competent, hence the more grand appearance. His main influences on designing him were:

He also has some hair sticking out because why not/j. It’s because his hair is actually mentioned quite a bit, as being dark. Plus I wanted something similar to smoke in his design. He’s about 193 cm or 6,4 ft.

Lore Mictlan

(Logo is a work in progress😓)

Lore Mictlan is a fan-fiction project set in an alternate universe of Lore Olympus, created by Rachel Smythe and published under Webtoon.

It sets off during season one of the web-comic, where Persephone decides to abandon Olympus and the Underworld to find a better life, and through a series of unfortunate(or fortunate) events, lands in Mictlan, the underworld of the Aztec pantheon.

It is posted on Archive of Our Own. Where I hope to update every Friday. Certain things that happen in Lore Olympus season two and three will either be irrelevant, adjusted or outright removed.

It is inspired by Lore Asgard, another fan project created by @lorepumpkin.

This project is entirely for entertainment and personal enjoyment, no money will be made with this project and I simply wish to have fun with it.

This project is written by a Mexican-American who is passionate about aztec culture and history, who personally believes in the Aztec gods and will not tolerate any racism.

My inbox is open for anyone who is interested in asking about it!
