Minthe will forever be the original!

The last pic is by @anoldplace, who noticed that Persephone dresses like Minthe. Their post inspired me to look for more parallels and wow there’s a lot.

People like to point out of instance with the bank when I want to point out another thing.

It’s not big,but another moment of hades casually abusing his power.

Hades - Lore Olympus

A late night sketch that made me really want to paint different coloured skin which turned out to be just as fun as it looks!

Persephone - Lore Olympus

...Then of course I had to do a version with Persephone and it was EVEN MORE fun!

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.

As Lore Olympus nears its grand finale, I felt compelled to revisit one of the most enchanting moments in the series—the first time Hades lays eyes on Persephone. I always really liked this scene, so I decided to redraw it, adding personal touches to both characters’ designs to reflect my interpretation and admiration for their story.

For Hades, I opted for a mid-grey hue, retaining the iconic white hair and red eyes to give him a slightly vampiric allure, hinting at his life in the shadowy underworld. I dressed him with a key in the shape of a pomegranate, which not only nods to his pivotal mythological moment but also serves as one of his symbols, representing his role as the gatekeeper of the underworld. I designed him to be lean—tall yet less imposing than Zeus, reflecting the reserved nature he often exhibits in myths. I imagine he was once more vibrant before the infamous pomegranate incident, so I added a subtle glow to hint that Chthonic gods aren’t always as flashy as their Olympian counterparts.

For Persephone I made her seem more melancholic because she’s still dealing with her act of wrath that happened 2 months prior to this party. I also wanted her dress to be a little more modest and reflect that it’s actually Artemis dress so I hope I made it a little more celestial I also kept Persephone’s hair long because I just like drawing long flowing hair. lol

Yeah so I just spent the last two days obsessively working on this.

I've been telling people for years that Rachel mixed up being infertile with being sterile. And now with the birth of Makaria I was accidentally proven right.

If you want to read it for yourself instead of on here, the link to the full google slides presentation is below.

Wait.where tf is Brimos.

Wasn’t he in hades deam?

I have two theories:

1)after RS got called out on brimos existence being bullshit,she retconned him out of the story and replaced him with Macaria.

2)Persephone and hades’ neglectful asses forgot abt him.

Both seem equally likely to me.
