Persephone, Queen of the Underworld

Her second version, when she descends to Hades domains! I had so much fun designing this dress hehehe

(Also did you know my comms are open? Yes indeed they are!)

I don’t understand the urge to completely remove the kidnapping from Persephone’s story, if anything it’s what makes her relationship with Hades so interesting and complex, he kidnapped her, but he also treats her like an equal, listens to her wisdom, doesn’t get in the way of her decisions as queen, compare and contrast that to Zeus and Hera who were said to be lovers before they got married only for their marriage to be absolutely chaotic and toxic. The dichotomy of the beginning of these relationships vs what comes after is very interesting to explore.

Something a little different from my other hazbin stuff- one of my favorite things to do is design fun designs for the Greek gods, are they lore accurate-no but they’re fun!

Here are the designs for Persephone, Hera, and Amphridite!

For Persephone I wanted to base her off a flower because of the goddess of spring stuff and I finally settled on a cherry blossom theme, because I find them very pretty!

Hera I made like a regal deep blue and had gold to accent it, you can’t really see it in this drawing but her crown has a trail of golden peacock feathers.

And Amphridite is an ocean nymph so I wanted a more physical difference between her and the other two so I’ve kinda just dictated that nymph have these downward turned ears, for her they’re fish like.

And we were meant to save everything,

and anything!

And we couldn't even do the unthinkable,

the impossible.

How were we supposed to save everything,

and anything?..."

I thought I would sketch this ending scene by the lovely El-Crafts in the first Stories of Styx episode/set of songs!

Wouldn't it be amazing if we let multi-faceted deities have complex relationships with other multi-faceted deities? No, Hera does not hate Aphrodite and Aphrodite does not hate Hera, they do not hate eachother just because they were on opposites sides of the trojan war. Aphrodite is not a mindless whore who hates everything pure and chaste and Hera is not a prude who slutshames Aphrodite. No, Persephone didn't go to the underworld willingly, sure, there's historical evidence that she predates Hades. But mythologically speaking she got there by force, Hades kidnapped her, the customs and values of Ancient greece of that time explain his actions, but not justify them. If you wanna make a feminist retelling then why not explore the trauma and suffering that Persephone and Demeter went through instead of shaming and demonizing a mother who did everything to protect her beloved daughter? No, Zeus and Hera do not hate eachother, yes! Their relationship is as messy and complicated as it gets but that doesn't mean they don't love eachother dearly, why else would Zeus forgive Hera for attempting to overthrow him?

[sarafangirlart]

Do you have any sketch for Persephone and/or Hecate?

There’s this old sketch of Persephone before the kidnapping.

[cotton-candy-anon]

Basically what happened right?

Demeter: Hades no you can't marry my daughter.

Hades: If not wife then why wife shaped?

Zeus: Wife shaped

[Later]

Demeter: Persephone no you can't marry Hades.

Persephone: IF NOT HUSBAND THEN WHY HUSBAND SHAPED!?!?

Demeter: I SAID NO YOUNG LADY

Persephone: FUCK YOU MOM I DO WHAT I WANT

Guys um

Am I supposed to be doing more with the gods?

Cause like I give them offerings I have a established alter for them all of my offerings are personalized for them and what I know about them , I pray to them when I can and I only occasionally ask for favors. I try my best not to offend them or judge them for their decisions.

But like people keep describing their experiences with the gods and like having a personal relationship with them and like talking to them and stuff and I'm just like "should I be doing more???" Cause that seems way more different than what's going on with me.

Persephone: An apple a day keeps Apollo away :)

Hades: And a pomegranate a day will keep your mother away
