Lore Olympus but Persephone is 💕unhinged💕

[kiwiiiloidstuffs]

Since u guys liked my perse redesign I figured I’d show u some others ~

[keenzinemugstudent]

[lo-shouldve-been-an-email]

Okay,since I’ve just randomly randomly just reblogging Thanatos things,I decided to actually post things,more specifically an LO rewrite because f it.

At its core I do think LO is a good story,just that bad writing has squandered any potential it has to be good,so please have my take on this.(more specifically my take on Persephone,hades,and Thanatos because I have to stay on brand)

Anyways-

(The sequel)

Persephone:

She’s older.shes physically in her late 20’s/early 30’s and about seven to eight centuries older.

Her AoW only extended to those ransacking the garden.(I swear,it would have been so much more understandable to root for her if it only extended to 4-5 people instead of an ENTIRE CITY,since we know other gods have done much worse)

Her work in the underworld was mandated by Zeus as community service for the AoW.

This is more or less Zeus hitting two birds with one stone,he gets perse to make community service and maybe(hopefully) gets hades to open up to the smucks outside of the underworld because he now has an employee not from there.

Due to her guilt about the AoW,she decides that while she’s working in the underworld she’ll set out to be the best her she can be and make up for the souls she took.

At first nobody really likes her and they just think she’s someone who needed to be dragged here by Zeus and won’t amount to anything,but she ends up being the hardest working of the staff and getting a fairly infamous “employee of the month” streak,her only real fumble being Sisyphus(of which she rightfully corrected totally not being getting Hermes to drag his ass down back to the underworld and give his his infamous punishment,of which instantly gave her back any respect she lost.

She’s the type of person you think you can disrespect until she gets genuinely mad at someone,in which case everyone goes out of their way to be nice to her even though it takes a lot to get her mad.

Demeter never sheltered her,just that she heard from her mother and brother(oh yeah Plutus is in this au their twins) about the shit that happened up their(even saw it for herself a few times)and decided to nope out of that drama.

She likes the underworld a more than Olympus due to the fact people don’t get butthurt nearly as much,due to them needing to deal with crap from other gods and sometimes mortals(like Sisyphus)

Demeter was an amazing mama and nobody can convince me otherwise.

Plutus told her about the underworld so she does know a bit,but otherwise it’s a cultural shock.

She brings homemade baklava in every day of work.

She actually sent a letter to Demeter telling her about the community service…however she never got it thanks to a certain daughter of Nyx always dead set on causing discord.

Hades:

It took him two solid seconds to realize what Zeus’ plan was with Persephone so he initially looked for any reason to fire her,until he learned she was here for community service and just decided to wait out her punishment(jokes on him Zeus forgot to tell perse what her sentence was so she worked in the underworld for like a year until demeter found her when in reality she was supposed to be there for like two months)

He does eventually soften up to her(obviously) but it takes a while and a lot of baklava.

Honest to god I have no idea how to incorporate minthe in this au

Leuce is his dead wife,she died fairly recently so he’s still hesitant to connect with anyone.(“I miss my wife,Thanatos,I miss her a lot I’ll be back-“)

Recently he’s been coping via sinking into his work,Hecate and the others have taken notice but they don’t really know what to do.(their the ones that CAUSE death not deal with it)

He slowly started distancing himself from the rest of his family after the titanomachy and even more so after leuce died.

The only person he acts openly soft around is Thanatos,who he views as a son.

The only part of his extended family he interacts with is Hermes,who he actually has a really good relationship with(albeit still strained since leuce)

Fuck it.everyone has flowers symbolism.

Hades is white lilies(subject to change),perse is asphodels,thanatos(and Hypnos) is poppies,leuce is forget-me-nots,Demeter is daylilies,Plutus is orchids,Hecate is nightshades or cow parsley.

Thanatos:

He genuinely finds it hard to focus on doing his job,so people just call him lazy,so he doesn’t really try to set the bar high in return because he knows he’ll just end up disappointing everyone.

The only person who doesn’t have low expectations and wants him to try his best at his own rate is hades,who understands he finds it hard to focus but still wants him to try his best anyways.

Rotates between living with hades and Nyx(who is an extremely doting mother.

Hypnos still resides within the hr department and Thanatos helps him hide because the last thing he needs is a grumpy Hypnos.

He deals with peaceful deaths while Hermes and the keres deal with the rest.

He’s the type of person to tell himself one moment he’s gonna be really productive today and then spend the next fifteen minutes chatting away with a butterfly.

Also he can talk to butterflies.but nobody believes him except Hermes,perse,and Nyx.

The moment he finds out what Eris did she gets the “WHY WOULD YOU THINK THIS IS A GOOD IDEA?!?!!?” Of her life.then queue Thanatos and the other Nyx children present trying to get her to explain why she thought this was a good idea and her just saying “bc it’s funny”

Erebus = dad with no physical body who still interact with me via shadows.hades = dad with physical body who I want to impress but I don’t know how.

(If you didn’t catch on he has adhd)

PomengranMints will update on November 5th!

Sorry for the last minute update! I’ve had a pretty busy week school wise, so the chapter isn’t ready yet. But I should have it ready by next Sunday! In the meantime, here’s more redraws to compensate:

[the-awakened-insomnis]

The wrath of Kore, the birth of Persephone...

My IG has the full story but basically in my rewrite(?), Kore was barely 100 & was going through some heavy shit. The deaths of Krokos and Withy pushed her over the edge. When she made it to the sacred fields she went on a rampage, even going as far as to use the corpses as fertilizer.

The few that survived dubbed Kore 'Persephone' and for the next thousands of years, she spent her time training and honing her powers. Putting as much distance between herself and her act wrath as much as possible.

NOTE; She looks more like Demeter in this 'form' as to show where she gets her wrath from.

[octag0n-l0v3r]

Reyna in the PJO x Lore Olympus AU I kind of forgot about :P

[lorepumpkin]

“She sat on her throne of crystallized ice and twisted gold; draped in white furs that covered most of her black thick-fabric clothing and a silver crown worn on the top of her head with the hagalaz rune twisted onto it with a darker metal. Her blunt cut with bangs were flowing despite the windless room, hair — just like her body — were split in colours. From Loki’s left her skin was cool and dark with blush-like markings, her eye a soft brown and half of her hair a pastel blue. And from his right her skin was a very pale cyan colour and skeleton-like with bags under her eyes — which her sclera was black and her iris an almost-white-cyan colour — and the other half of her hair black.”

— Lore Asgard (Chapter 6)

[crystals-lo-rewrite]

Fun fact: I was planning to make my redesign of Minthe have a shade of mint green as her skin color, but I ended up changing my mind and chose a darker shade of red, instead I decided to make mint green her eye color.

[infernothechaosgod]

bada bim bada dam bitch

Im back on hating on lo on this account

ttoday i would like to talk about apollo and why rachels reason for choosing him to be the villian is extremly stupid

(All quotes from girl wonders podcast)

Audience member : what was your inspiration for making Apollo the bad guy when it came to uh, attacking Persephone?

Rachel : Um, so what I think what it comes down to is looking at Greek mythology as a whole and he is sort of the most—uh, he is one of the most important and crucial, uh, charac—die—deities in the pantheon. Um, he is in charge of so many things and I think it really subverts that uh, expectation that you have, um, where you think that he’s going to be very, very good and I think in society, we often hold up men who we perceive to be as very, very good and um, it just—it makes sense for the story to—to flip it a little bit, because Hades is kind of always the bad guy. So I’m like, “Hades could have a turn at being good” and like, the same for Hera as well.

Okay so I agree that switching the gods roles might be fun I myself make apollo an introvert while making artemis the extrovert in my retellings BUT Theres my issue

Lore olympus is a modern retelling with modern morals in it, there are so SO many gods who have done the same act as apollo in the muths but got it cut out in the comic why leave it on apollo though?

Becuse he was important, he still IS important thats the only reason why rararuchu decided to leave it in becuse he as a God as a person some people still worship is important

You know, Im accualy all in for the idea of feral villian apollo, and I mean serious villian apollo the type of villian that makes you feel complex emotions and the type of villian that doesnt plan to stop doing wrong, I would accualy love to see that

But unfortunetly Rachel doesnt know how to write complex villians or complex anything

You know how easier you could make apollo a villian with a good reason for hating persephone?

Make one of the mortals persephone killed hyacinthus, one of the most if arguably not the most beloved human lover of apollo

Make apollo a grieving villian that uses his plauge powers to the point where it starts to hurt him ALOT

Make apollo complex just like he was in the myths

Who is she?? 👁️👁️

[lore-olympus-saga]

Demeter did not like Loki.

Not many gods liked Loki when you think about it. Many of them actually hated them. Demeter didn’t hate them yet. 

But she was starting to as she saw them looming over her newborn. 

Hated to see those long blood red strand of hair tickling her child who stared back, unknowingly, at the god of Chaos itself. A god who has walked among them, took notes about them, flanked by two crows, and reported everything to the Allfather of Asgard. A thief of secrets. As if Olympus didn’t have enough problem with Eris wrecking chaos when she was awake. 

Plants and roots twirled to turned into pointy spears, ready to strike the intruder. To pierce the flesh of the jötnar without a second of hesitation. They were not welcome in Demeter’s domain. 

Yet, as Kore pulled on the jötun's braid, Demeter was surprise to see tears twinkling inside the Trickster's eyes. Grief had settled on this god’s face instead of the trademark smirk they bore around others. Trembling fingers delicaltly pried the hair away from those little hands. Slowly, they rose up and stepped away of the newborn.

“I have daughter too you know?” Loki whispered. So low that at first it took the godess a few seconds to understand him. Loki turned towards her, uncaring of the weapons she had pointed at them. “A wonderful little girl. But she’s away now. Far… Away.”

Demeter felt a clench in her chest in sympathy and pity… 

Yes, thoughout realms and kingdoms it was known that Hela, the daughter of chaos, became the Queen of Helheim unwillingly, Queen of the dead of the northmen. The tales of her disfigured face travelled far and wide. The ones about her fate, the one Asgardians gave her, followed closely behind. Do not get on the bad side of Asgard. So be it if some ally's family is caught in the crossfire as long as it is for Asgard.

“She’s beautiful. You can be proud Godess of the seasons” Loki whispered as they looked back at the baby. “A cute little rose bud,” they chuckled softly when the baby cooed back at them. “I see why Odinn was interested in her.”

Demeter felt fear shackle her limbs for a split second before she made the roots strike. 

No.

No no no, it can’t be! Not her precious daughter barely born!

She couldn’t bare to imagine what the Allfather interest was into a child. But that man was cruel and unfair towards his own people. 

You must never catche Odin’s eye before a battle! She heard humans saying. Don’t catch Odinn’s eye!

For if he takes a liking to you, he won’t protect you. He’ll let death catch you so you can stand by his side in Valhöl 

Loki sidestepped the attack and rushed out of her range. Their feet barely touching the ground as they leaped, slid between plants and trees. Off into the distance, to report back to their brother probably. Demeter rushed and picked her child into her arms, shaking. Not her sweet daughter, no one will ever touch her.

Out of Demeter’s domain, Loki stopped and open their cape. Gently grasping the head tied to their waist, they lifted it so they could face Mimir’s white eyes.

“Say it again. The future you saw of this child, please, repeat it.”

And Mimir answered:

I see the the maiden, born from roses 

I see her, shackled in thorns.

For the care and love from others will be bitter poison 

And the beauty she bares will earn her scorns. 

She will shine and be wanted, 

And taken for granted.

She will break and wrath will take

What sweet innocence she had left. 

She will be crowned with love and dread. 

All hail the maiden and Queen of the dead.

Loki willed themself not to squeeze the head in anger as the words tumbled from his lips. Angry? At who? At the fate that the little rose bud seemed to have and has yet to face? Or was it at himself? 

He couldn’t protect his daughter. Demeter will not be able to save her’s. For the words that tumbled out of Mimir’s mouth are laced with a bitter truth that cannot be changed.

But I see something that may change the stakes.

Loki jumped and nearly dropped the head. They blinked as Mimir continued, with a offended frown at Loki’s handling.

Years to come she will face others and herself. 

If allies stand by her side she may have what it takes

To stand, fight and shield any kindness she’ll have left.

Beware, before spring’s arrival, there will be a harsh winter

And as an Asgardian, Loki, think twice before your share your fire.

The trickster stared at the wise man eyes before looking above in the sky. Twin crows were circling above them. As the birds flew down to land newt to them they sighed.

“Of course I will. Always will, always have.”

They knelt down and offered a hand for Huginn to jump on. It rubbed it’s beak against the jötnar’s sleeve with contempt. Loki sighed.

It was time to go back home.

(Few sketches I've done in regards of this little piece of fanfic between Demeter and Loki)

(This is the "first" meeting between Loki and Persephone, but I'm working on the second meeting, years after this one ^^)

[lo-shouldve-been-an-email]

Do I know that the og post about my LO rewrite didn’t get much traction?yes.

Do I still want to talk about it?absolutely.

So here’s Demeter,Hecate,and Hermes.

Also the au is now named “Persie’s little punishment”

Demeter:

Last post I said that perse and Plutus were twins.that has changed and plutus is now older than Persephone,with her having a somewhat re-written version of her original birth.

Long story short:

Asphodels(along with other flowers associated with death) cannot make flowers nymphs,however,one day Demeter realized that there was some life inside of the asphodels(to be exact,a 1000th of life),sitting lightly and waiting to be harvested.

For years she carefully replanted the asphodels in her garden,until she finally had all 1000 of the special asphodels,doing a ritual to create a flower nymph out of these to finally create the life inside the flowers.

But this wasn’t a flower nymph,no,it was a goddess.

And that’s how Persephone,goddess of the flora,was made!

As said last post,her flower symbolism is the day lily,because of their association and also because I saw on Wikipedia that they were linked with asphodels.

She raised Persephone to be as hard working as Can be,to the point where by the time of the AoW she’s basically as much of a businesswoman as her mother.

She doesn’t know about the AoW,or the community service due to Erie snatching the letter where perse explained everything.

The pin she gave Persephone was NOT worthless(at least not to perse).

Almost never goes to Olympus due to all the crap that happens up there.

A year after perse first joins the underworld staff for the community service,Demeter storms through the door,demanding to see her daughter.

After a quick explanation,perse realizes that that due to eating six pomegranate seeds,she needs to stay there half the year,leading to the agreement with hades and Demeter.(she would have done something like this either way due to the fact shes basically become a pillar of the underworld during her time there,even though the other pillars could hold their own)

It’s an easy agreement,during the summer there are almost no deaths compared to winter,where they have perse to help.

And so become the seasons,with Persephone and hades marrying,Demeter getting to see her daughter half the year,and underworld corp. having perse,hades opening up to his family after leuce,and everyone having a good agreement,it’s a win win.

Hécate:

Perse best friend in the underworld.

Doesn’t really do much in the underworld other than hang around and occasionally help with stuff.

The only person who wasn’t at least skeptical of perse when she first joined.

Can sense Peres’s connection to asphodels.

In this au,Elysium already exist and perse creates asphodel instead.

She,Thanatos,and Hermes are the main people helping.

Their plan ends up succeeding and asphodel is now an oficial part of the underworld,Persephone actually saying that it was hades idea instead of hers,and he was just too busy to help them.

Then queue perse and hades fighting on who should get the most credit:hades wants Persephone to take all of it while she wants hades to have a better rep amongst shades.

Hécate is much,much,much older than both hades and Persephone.(if only she acted it)

she ends up as one of the most hardworking employees due to Persephone’s influence,using her magic to fasten everything.

Her flowers are cow parsley.

Hermes:

He was originally hired to pick up any slack the keres and Thanatos left,but Hermes being Hermes ended up the most productive of the death guys/gals.

Idk what his flower is gonna be.

The only one who can keep up with the work ethic Hermes set is perse,so they become friends.

He’s pretty overworked and gets burned out fairly often,and in those cases he goes to the underworld because he knows people in Olympus won’t notice/care.

Has a somewhat strained relationship with hades after the death of leuce.

His family at Olympus don’t respect his job as a psychopomp.

May or may not have a little thing for Thanatos.

Gets injured on the job pretty often but knows how to lie the pain away,otherwise his productivity would be cut in half and people would be mad their stuff wouldn’t be delivered right away,so he just ignores how much some injuries hurt so that he can do his job.(the only one who actually notices is Demeter because she’s amazing,routinely pointing out the injuries on his body,but he always manages to slip away before she can question him too much)

On the note of Olympus,I feel like it’s a very “everyone is disfuncional in their own right” thing.idk I’ll elaborate more on it if I make a post on the rest of the olympians.

[whatmyface]

just had an au idea where minthe is a up and comic punk star trying to get her big break, struggling with her finances and has a toxic friendship and relationship with thetis and hades (which im very interested in exploring) who eventually gets a deal in a girl band with Persephone Krokos and Withy, (I really want to flesh out of Krokos and Withy) Minthe is a toxic bitch to them and is also jealous of them having a healthy friendship. Shes also in denial of being a lesbian, because of homophobia, and the general context that "nymphs are only good for making babies for gods, and being pretty pets", she also needs hades because of her financial situation + some kind of friendship with him. While havign all of this shes also havign a slowburn romance with Persephone and finding out that she has a dark side, (aka killed a bunch of mortals).
