[incorrect-lore-olympus-quotes]

Persephone: "...You're up to something aren't you?"

Hades: "You don't sound particularly upset about that."

Persephone: "I'm not."

Hades: "...And yet your eyes still hold displeasure."

Persephone: "..."

Hades: "...You're upset I didn't include you, aren't you?"

Persephone: "...A little."

My All Time Favorite Outfits in LO (Part One):

(In no particular order)

———————————///——————————

1. Episode 88: Persephone Dream Space Outfit:

Since this outfit has lived rent-free in my head it’s going first. Like since I saw it in Episode 88 my life has known no peace.

Like I can’t begin to explain the chokehold this outfit has on me.

——————————————————————

2. Episode 100: Persephone Frilly White Outfit:

I promise this list won’t be all Persephone filled, it’s just my bias for her sense of style 🥺✨. But I love the look here, it’s simple but cute, especially the heels and frilly socks.

——————————————————————

3. Episode 1: Minthe’s Lace Trimmed Bodysuit and Sheer Shawl:

Now I know we’ve all got our feelings about Minthe…

But I can definitely say that I think about this get up every once in a while.

Like the lacy bodysuit, thigh highs, and sheer shawl???? I’ll take 20 💰

——————————————————————

4. Episode 64: Aphrodite Fluffy White Robe and Frilled Heels:

Now you KNOW the goddess of love and beauty is going to be constantly put together and this outfit is a reminder of that. Even being home with her adorable kids isn’t going to stop the drip.

I’ll admit I’ve always wanted a robe like this

This is the official ‘Killed my husband and now I’m a wealthy widow’ get up and I can’t do anything but love it and envy ✨✨✨.

——————————————————————

5. Episode 119: Hera’s White Double Breasted Blazer (?) Thigh High Black Boot Combo:

Now we already know Hera is always out her with the best royal fits imaginable. So of course she’s gonna be on this list. And while she has outfit after outfit I could list, this one is one I love and would probably wear.

——————————————————————

6. Episode 127: Thetis’ Blue Dress/Thigh High Boots combo:

So yeah I’m not the biggest fan of Thetis but still the woman can dress! So this simple dress/boot combo is a favorite of mine.

——————————————————————

7. Episode 66: Hera’s Scorned Wife Dynasty Adjacent Look

Even when she’s scorned and unhappy she’s slaying this rich angry wife look. The hat, the shoulder pads, the runny mascara 👏

——————————————————————

8. Episode 224: Brown Overcoat/ Tan Two Piece Set from Aphrodite:

Im not sure why I’m so drawn to this one, maybe it’s the simplicity? the browns? Who knows! But to me it’s a good casual look.

——————————————————————

9. Episode 1: Artemis’ Black(purple?) Party Dress:

Artemis seems to fluctuate between casual, sporty, and Greek god formal, so there’s not many outfits I personally vibe with. But this dress is an absolute exception. It’s cute, it’s sparkly, what’s not to love?

10. Episode 72: Hecate’s Full Length Black Nightgown:

A lot of Hecates attire is a high class business suits that I can always appreciate but THIS. Look I’m not sure why this works so well but it absolutely does it. The sleeves, the length. It’s just so dramatic, dark, and elegant and suits a character like Hecate.

——————————————————————

Well that’s the list for now! Stay tuned for pt. 2!

Aphrodite is my favorite character in Lore Olympus.

[mythostv]

Lore Olympus x Haunted Mansion

"Our tour begins here in this gallery, where you see paintings of some of our guests as they appeared in their corruptible, (im)mortal state."

I've had this concept in my head for a while, of various Lore Olympus characters as the stretching portraits in the Haunted Mansion. Where did this idea come from? I don't know, but both Lore Olympus and Disney are a huge comfort for me so I'm not surprised it happened.

Should I make this into a whole series? I have a few ideas, and maybe I'll extend it to more than just the portraits, but other Haunted Mansion characters too

[callmealexis]

This took like 1 or 2 months to finish this and honestly it wasn't a waste of time. Idk which LO character to make an edit of next lol.

I wonder why christian misrepresentation are rarely talked about if compared to other religion misrepresentation. Like, I've seen people really vocal about Greek myths misrepresentation in LO and such (and it's valid because it's a culture and religion) but I rarely saw the same thing with christian even though there are many media who use christian religion innacurately, to the point where it comes off as using it as an aesthetic and not a proper religion.

Is it because of rampant religious trauma especially in western world? No ulterior motives on this question. I'm not a christian and yet I'm curious about this. I apologize if this sounds harsh.

I obviously don't have The Answer(tm) to this but personally speaking (and I'm about to get VERY personal here so take this with MOUNTAINS OF SALT), I think it's just the obvious - Christian mythology is one of the most well-documented and strongly protected out of virtually any other religion on the planet. Especially here in the West, it's commonplace for kids to go to Sunday school, for couples to have Christian weddings even if they're not practising Christians themselves, even the American anthem references the Christian God. It's simply not as easy to 'misrepresent' it because the representation is written into our very fabric of society. Even Greece itself is primarily made up of Orthodox Christians.

So anyone that does 'misrepresent' it are either completely mislead hardcore Christians, or people who are doing it intentionally, such as with the intent to make a parody of it or to deconstruct it through a different context or whatever have you. And of course, people will still get mad at those things, if you're implying that people aren't vocal about Christian misrepresentation then frankly IDK what to tell you there LOL If you want a contextual example in the realm of webtoons, Religiously Gay was dragged to hell and back during its launch for having a very crude and insulting depiction of St. Michael, and frankly, yeah I don't disagree because what the fuck is this-

(like at best it's just terrible character design lmao that said, there's also plenty else to criticize Religiously Gay for, including its fetishy representation of gay relationships and the fact that it's still just the "naive person who looks and acts like a child hooks up with mean person in a position of power" trope, blech, but the character design is definitely the first thing you notice)

There are even plenty of hardcore Christians who will deadass claim "misrepresentation" over things that ARE factually correct but they just haven't read the actual Bible and simply cherry pick what works for their own agenda. And of course those people are routinely called out by people like myself who know for a fact that Jesus wouldn't have promoted the war crimes that many modern day Christians are committing and justifying today. So it really depends on the definition of "misrepresentation" here.

The issue specifically with LO and Rachel that I personally call her out for (and many others) is that she's called herself a "folklorist" and claimed she's so much more knowledgeable on Greek myth than anyone else, while making a complete mockery of the original mythologies while not being honest about her intent as to whether LO is actually supposed to be a legitimate retelling OR a parody (because it sure acts like the latter more than the former, but she still seems to expect us to take it seriously and consider her knowledge of Greek myth superior?) Which leads to a lot of her teenage audience claiming shit like "Persephone went down to the underworld willingly" and "Apollo did assault Persephone in the original myths actually" and the classic "why would Lore Olympus lie or make up fake myths?"

You just can't pull off this extent of erasure with Christian mythology because we have a whole ass book of it that's been preserved, sold on shelves, and systematically integrated into society for thousands of years. Of course, there are people who will still try their damned best to twist the Bible to match their own bigotry with the whole "Jesus hates gays" bullshit (he would never), but it's met with equal amounts of 'misrepresentation' that are actually fully well-read and are intentionally subverting and changing things to either critique, parody, or restore the original intent of a lot of stories in the Bible without all the manufactured right-wing crap.

Greek myth, on the other hand, has some stories that are well preserved, and others, not so much. And in the modern day outside of the poems and hymns, you'll also rarely, if ever, see anyone use stories from Greek myth to ostracize, torture, and murder other people. "Misrepresenting Christianity" is more often done by actual Christians who are using the Bible to commit hate crimes than the people who have actually read the Bible and are just taking creative liberties with it for the sake of deconstructing / parodying / analyzing / subverting it. Veggie Tales "misrepresents" Christian stories because obviously Moses wasn't a fucking cucumber lmao but it still accomplishes its goal by retelling Christian stories in a way that's fun and educational for children.

By comparison (on the whole, I'm not comparing LO to Veggie Tales LMAO) LO just isn't clear in its intentions beyond Rachel's initial statements that she was trying to "deconstruct" the myths, while labelling herself as a folklorist. Therefore, I'm going to criticize how she does it because the way she's done it up until now has been very mishandled and has resulted in a lot of misinterpretations of the myths simply for the sake of fandom. And yes, these people exist in Christian media as well - they're called TV evangelists.

And that's my (very heavy) two cents.

[incorrect-lore-olympus-quotes]

Artemis: Apollo made me mad so I poured motor oil under his car and watched him poke at it and try to find where the leak was

Apollo, covered in oil and grime from crawling under his car and going through the engine for four hours: YOU DID WHAT?!

[swallowtail-lotus]

That... That face is unsettling. She looks unhinged as hell.

It just looks forced and it hurts me seeing it.

Girl has spider legs for eyelashes.

Her face reminds me of a toad and I hate that I can't unsee it.

Looks like Daddy Sigma Ares got his Mommy Aphrodite in BOZ.

BOZ Ares is the real Alpha Sigma then the LO Ares who is just a pervert cheese block man with legs and he treats his Kim lavender looking ass bitch his booty call and she is the most ugliest woman he has never seen and he is in Lust with Bimo Lolita Trophy Wife Pink RS as the goddess of beauty and he is a stacker simp for her and While Ares loves his mommy Aphrodite deeply.

And who could blame him for loving her, besides being super hot and a beauty queen (because she is the goddess of love and beauty)

She’s a real badass Femme Fatale with a sword that would make his mommy proud and the mommy step on me.

[psychopomposus]

as a big Lore Olympus fan who also likes Epic the Musical, I often conflate the two which makes for some WILD imagery.

Like, Poseidon and Odysseus in LO?

Or Zeus and Athena?? Athena my incredible butch lesbian goddess? Fighting her father the eggplant emoji?

Ares and Aphrodite remain much the same I fear

Hermes though? I literally can't stop imagining LO Hermes singing in Epic -- my gorgeous red princess <3

don't get me started on Apollo though, LO has left me hating on Apollo but like in Epic he's so harmless

but Hera serves in every adaptation

[incorrect-au-master]

Steamy work.

Hephaestus: *working at his forge, shirtless*

Hephaestus: *his sweaty body is actually pretty fit due to his role as a blacksmith*

Hephaestus: *strikes the red hot metal with precission in the right spots to shape it*

Hephaestus: *then starts working on the details, the small delicate parts, crafting the decorations using his prostetic arm*

Hephaestus: *then cools down the piece and removes her work glasses* ufff, all done!

Hephaestus: *turns around* BTW, 'Dite. Are you sure you want to stay at the forge? I know its pretty hot in here...

Aphrodite: *watching him work, wearing sunglasses and enjoying a cool drink* that's the way i like it~

Hephaestus: ???

[cg920fire]

I was a filthy Hera simp when I was younger and Disney's portrayal of her prompted the crush.
