Zutara Hades and Persephone Pin (Collection by Fantasy x PerfectlyPanda)

I can’t express how thrilled I am that the Hades and Persephone Zutara pin that @fireladyfae and I have been collaborating on is finished! This really was a work of love, and I couldn’t be happier with the result! I know I might be a little biased, but I think it turned out so well and it’s surreal to finally hold it in my hands! Ahhhh! 🥰 Thank you Fae for asking me to make a pin with you (and for your patience when I was being a perfectionist with it)! We’re both new to pin making so we only did a small run of these pins. If you’re interested in one then head over to @fireladyfae’s Collection by Fantasy pin instagram page asap (or you could message her here on tumblr)! 🥰

Pluto once told Percy that when he died, his smile would return to its rightful place, - Underground, in his domain.

Yes, Pluto is terrible at flirting and Mediocre in compliments

Thank God Percy is smart.

[Clarification, - Pluto meant that Percy's smile is beautiful and radiant like the gems in his domain].

Hi Anon!

First of all, I absolutely love smart Percy!! The evidence is right there in the books, and it's such a shame (and frustrating ngl) that so many fans miss it.

Next... yeah I gotta hand it to Percy. I would not have figured out that line (might just be me not understanding or being able to write flirting) - so I lowkey assumed Pluto was being possessive and thought once Percy died he could keep in Percy in his domain at his side forever. But I like the actual meaning better.

Thanks for the ask anon!!

eden. megatron(idw) / fem!reader drabble (nsfw!) There was a story you told him, one about disobedience. Megatron watches you on the far end of the bar, deep in conversation with Skids and Swerve, fingers working their way into the pit of a foreign, red fruit.

As your hands were trying to work past the berry's surface, rubbing across the skin — nails ready to pierce the meat — an image of you from last night flooded his processor, breathing ragged and shallow as he dives to kiss you between your thighs, servos dragging along the trembling line of your knees.

A pomegranate, that's what you called it. A strange, alien name for a strange, alien fruit. One you love so dearly. He wonders if it would come apart under your clever ministrations the way you did beneath him, whether it would be as pliant as you were under the silhouette of your shared hab suite — spread open and willing, an invitation to drink. To taste.

He could see you were starting to grow irritated, eyes flickering down to the spill you've made on the table, briefly excusing yourself from the exciting conversation erupting around you. Megatron tried not to smile to himself, somewhat amused. Surely, you would know it takes patience. As all good things come — and you were so good for him last night: You were refraining from begging him to enter you, tired of waiting, already aching from his servos. Yet you kept your composure, save for a few whines, and he was so proud of you. Obedience, after all, was the moral of the story.

Or maybe it was temptation. Megatron thinks you look divine undone, hair mussed and sticking to the side of your flushed cheeks, sweat slicking your neck. It made your body glisten under the faint light seeping in from outside past the thin, seams of the walls. At times, he needed to catch himself from being greedy, from wanting more and more from you. How can he not? You told him it was the taste you couldn't get enough of — pomegranates are rare and sweet, almost unlike anything. He couldn't agree more, still tasting you on his glossa.

Finally, you were successful, and you lapped at your reward — a trail of ruby dripping down your chin as you tilted the shell towards your mouth. Tasting. Drinking. You told him it tasted like summer, your favorite season. Which is maybe why he's so keen on opening you up, like a flower blooming under the solstice sun. And you did, reminding him again of how he was captivated by a flower native to a foreign land. Always so kind, always so giving. Different from his metal, unyielding world. You gave him summer — different and warm.

You meet his gaze. Despite being caught, Megatron couldn't look away. He could sense your relief that the mess you've made hid the shade of red you were turning, cheeks stained as Swerve passed you a wipe, already nagging about the drying blotches of red all over his table. In the story, Eve was tempted — seduced into biting the forbidden fruit. And as your tongue darts to lick the remaining sweetness down your bare arm, he thinks of you as the serpent. Vixen. Teasing.

He clenched his dentas. Megatron's mouth suddenly feels wet, flooding with want.

Every time I see a story about Hades and Persephone now, my mind starts clawing at the walls and screaming this is not what the story is supposed to be. This is not The Brand. The themeing is not there.

Demeter is not the bad guy, Hades is not the bad guy. If anything, Persephone is the bad guy. But she's not guilty, she's fated. It's a dance of themeing.

If Demeter is the bad guy, you take away the joy of summer and gratitude of spring. If Hades is the bad guy, you destroy the inevitability and softness of death. But Persephone.

The earth does not care if you die. The winter does not care if you slip on ice. The stone does not care if your ankle cracks. The world of circumstance is unkind and unapologetic. It's neither worse than Hades' death nor different; but it's to be feared. It's sudden and violent. It's a terror. The Dread Persephone.

The story of Persephone should be about self-discovery, not victimhood or tragic accidents.

Tarot Decks I Own (as of June 2024)

I got most of these (after the RWS) when I last quit smoking a couple years ago (think I made it five years) as a deal with myself - I could spend my cigarette budget on indie tarot decks. I started up again but it was a good incentive at the time.

I have also traded and given decks away so there are more that I’ve had and lost, but this is my current collection of 27 tarot decks (I’ll make a separate post for oracle and misc decks). I also tried to get these in a way that corresponded to the majors order to help limit my spending but it got pretty neurotic with swapping out deck positions and stuff so I’ve stopped worrying about that as much. It kinda helps me remember my collection though.

I put in parentheses the year I got them in, more or less. I added pictures and I'll update with links to other posts if I ever do deck reviews.

FFXIV Write Day 18: Hackneyed

Notes: My Azem is they/them. Please enjoy this knowing my WoL does not feel even the smallest speck of love for Emet-Selch.

EmetAzem Pre-Sundering

Hackneyed : lacking in freshness or originality Characterized by overuse to the point of being uninteresting ——————————— “…Are you going to — ever — use the door?” A stern voice asked, looking absolutely not amused as a pink haired and robbed figure sporting a black mask was giggling, sitting at the the windowsill. “Azem, my office is not this high up for you to climb here every time you want…”

Persephone made a pout, “Azem? Really? We might be at The Capitol but we’re alone, Hades…I am not going to call you Emet-Selch.” They said, jumping inside the office with a bright smile, immediately moving closer to the man to cling to him, despite the constant complaints from most esteemed Emet-Selch.

Hades couldn’t help but, first, try to get his spouse to move away, and once that failed — he embraced them, groaning and huffing despite the soft giggles coming from the smaller figure now resting against his body. “You’re an actual menace, are you aware of that…?” And, like a complete change of demeanor, the man smiles softly and clings a bit more to his spouse. “I thought you were going to take longer to return from your travels this time…”

The current holder of the seat of Azem moved their head, looking up towards Hades’ face, ending in them smiling softly in answer as well, “I had a few options when I started to miss you…I could’ve summoned you, or I could return to, well…write reports…”

“As if you ever did that…”

Sticking their tongue out, Persephone closed one eye — it was true and yet, they used their reports constantly as an excuse to return home.

Home to their beloved spouse. “I take that you did not miss me, then?"

Hades rolled his eyes, but before he could say anything — soft lips were on his cheek, “…Perse-…” He was silenced after that with a kiss. As much as they loved to be, well, disgustingly sweet whenever they were close — it was a whole another issue to be doing this at office hours…

“Can’t you just, for once, say that yes…you missed me? That you would love if I never left…? I know you have more than one single romantic bone in you…my grumpy dear.” Hades huffed. “Stars, you’re always like this…I have to coerce your love out! What are you going to do the day I get bored of your antics…?”

The most esteemed Emet-Selch then, suddenly, closed his eyes just a second, and then he squints at the smaller figure still clinging to him…only to almost immediately carry them on his arms, “I believe no matter how hackneyed I get…you’d never resist me, after all…you refuse to leave me alone to do my job, or to leave my thoughts…”

Persephone laughs, their body relaxing and resting comfortably against his spouse’s, smiling with love and tenderness at him, “…You talk like an old man…” They shake their head, “…How come someone like you…loves someone like…me?”

Hades frowns.

“We have talked about this, Azem.”

“We have, but it’s still amazing to me…Hades. And stop using my title…” They press a finger upon Hades’ lips. “I just returned home after being away traveling the star…can’t you just…let me be your spouse right now? Just a day…among our eternity.”

Once more, Hades rolled his eyes, “…You fail to remember…” he whispers low and getting closer to their ear. “You and I are bound and we shall be one…for longer than eternity.”

Persephone laughs, making their spouse blush and get flustered…but for the moment, they remain like this, simply enjoying yet another reunion together — one of many more they shall have.

One of, oh, so many many more they should have…for eternity.
