did a little cartoonized design of my persephone :D

[asteroidgalore]

Hecate (Asteroid 100) is who witnessed and helps Ceres (1)/Demeter(1108) look for her daughter Persephone (399)/Idunna (176)/Prosperina (26) using her two flaming brilliant torches throughout the night without avail.

One version of the Triple Moon Goddess is Hecate, Ceres and Persephrone/Kora.

part 1 / 2 (part 2)

[jackrussell1907]

The Rape of Proserpina more accurately translated as the Abduction of Proserpina, is a large Baroque marble group sculpture by Italian artist Gian Lorenzo Bernini, executed between 1621 and 1622, when Bernini's career was in its early stage. The group, finished when Bernini was just 23 years old, depicts the abduction of Proserpina, who is seized and taken to the underworld by the god Pluto. It features Pluto holding Proserpina aloft, and a Cerberus to symbolize the border into the underworld that Pluto carries Proserpina into.

I can't help but think of how it must have physically hurt Persephone when Hades literally grabbed her and took her to the Underworld with him. She must have struggled to free herself from his grip but he wouldn't let her go. She must have thrown hands at him frantically, yet he would not let go. The Narcissa flowers she was holding must have been crushed to a pulp and her hands must have been stained green by the stalks, yet he wouldn't loosen his grip on her. Her nails must have made crescent moons on the red palm of her hands.  She must have scraped her nails on his rough pale skin, yet he forcefully dug his fingers into her skin.

I can imagine the imprints his fingers must have left when she saw herself in the mirror the next day. They must have hurt. They must have bruised purple and blue like the violets and morning glories that grew in her dwelling. It must have been jarring for her to know that something like that could ever happen to her even though she was under the protection of her mother. She must have been scared and shocked and guilty. She must have missed her family and friends, her flowers and sunlight in the damp, cold, and lifeless underworld.

I can only imagine and I can’t help but feel for her. No matter how many flowery romanticized retellings of their stories I come across. The fact that Hades' hands had hurt Persephone always makes me detest them somehow.

“ how terrible. ” darkened under—eyes barely look up, fixated on the cut of meat. (i would consume you, beyond the bones.) brutality under a domestic guise, a macabre fantasy of housewives; equally bound to each other in an impossibility of escape. neither can leave, neither can stay. she is the rivers daughter, unable to escape the reeds tangled around her legs no matter how inland she goes. a loin cut, something she normally passes over but tonight is a special occasion & she’ll pry back the rib—bones and ready them to soak into a broth later.

the viscera is still caught under her fingernails, the mangled remains curled into the corner of their shed. an immaculate façade, no one is looking past the white picket fence or neatly cut lawn into their pastel suburbia hellscape. (two predator animals cannot stay in the same enclosure. one will turn on the other. it is a matter of time.) and you'd let her. as long as she promised to eat all of you. the knife is placed to the side, by the skin. she’s sat through enough cross—contamination lectures. the maddening brutality living in their walls, bruising their house through rot and seeping from the trees in red sap. the violence cannot be separated from them. “ isn’t is so lucky that you met me then? how terrible to live like that. ” mortification in pictures that plaster their walls, splashed art that cost more then her car. two people, two things living. her blood clots like the pipes in the cold, slathering layer after layer of paint over the mold in the corner like a budget motel but the foundation cracks remain.

i’ll kill you. or you’ll kill me. this house is too hungry to sustain us both. “ and you’ll never be free of me. we’re forever. ”

C655 Prosperina's warning for Greta Thunberg

This is a general sunrise chart for Greta the spokes girl from Sweden on climate change. Her rising is 08 Aquarius 34 with an appropriate midheaven of Sagittarius for her travels. Neptune that rules the 12th is found there, showing how the Viking spirit of travelling via boat to bring about the conquest of her message appeals to her. She has a strong stellium in the 11th house of public speaking…

[wisteriakay]

A struggle ensued, a fight for eternity. A push and a pull, naivety being stolen.

Greed is a mysterious thing, it works wonders. Riches, fame, love and purity. Not purity in the sense of abstinence, purity in the form of innocence.

A cry, a shriek, a yelp, or a sob. A grin, a grimace, and a grunt. A scene of conflict, that repeats a great trauma. A woman left violated, a man left satisfied.

Gripping so hard bruises are left, fighting so fiercely marks are created. For the victim these will scar, for the attacker, this will be forgotten.

A tale to be remembered at the expense of Prosperina.

What does Prosperina think about Varric's DATV look? (I miss her, she's lovely)

lmao you're about to hate me so bad

So, per my DATV post about My Canon™️:

He and Pina were together for a few years, but between how burnt out she was post-Trespasser and Varric’s absolute insistence on finding Solas with full intent to change his mind instead of kill him like she wanted, they went their separate ways

Proserpina Lavellan had since retired to Halamshiral, where she basically kicked the Imperial Court out of the Winter Palace, dared them to stop her (no one has tried), and made it her own 

She turned much of the property's land into an ungulate farm (sheep, goats, harts, and halla) and surrounded it with Fen'Harel statues that very specifically have their eyes gouged out

Iron Bull joined her in this retirement; they have their own set of twins! Occasionally the Chargers (now led by Krem) have stopped by to hang out for a few weeks at a time and help take care of the farm

So she's REALLY REALLY REALLY PISSED OFF that she's being forced out of retirement to help deal with TWO MORE of her own damn gods!! Solas when I fucking catch you!!!

She goes to see him when she comes to meet with Deja, and it's... bittersweet.

It's almost worse that she doesn't tell him "I told you so," after so many awful fights. It means he fucked up badly enough that she just pities him.

How would things be now, if he'd listened? Would she have come with him to Kirkwall, or would he be raising farm animals now? Would that be his child in her belly instead?

No use dwelling on the what-ifs, he supposes. He did listen when she said that, at least.

...yeah, she’s preganté during the VG events, lmao

Her eyes look different and she has facial scars due to one of the main catalysts of her retirement; one of her explosive arrows went off nearly in her face when an agent of Fen'harel ignited it from a distance. That agent was very swiftly killed when Solas heard later.

Even with significant healing efforts, the wounds couldn't be completely recovered, and she was blinded. Dorian, Jeanne, and Cole worked tirelessly to help - thus, through use of spirit magic, she can mostly see... though everything is bathed in ghostly green.

The one thing she was relieved about when Solas took her arm was that she'd never have to see that damned green light again - now, she'll never escape it.

...I figure Solas knows about all of this, but the ritual interruption would have gone very differently if he didn't--

Adolf Frey-Moock - Abschied der Prosperina

[s-a-u-l-o-f-t-a-r-s-u-s]

i get all the animosity towards modern art and all the pretentiousness/reliance on the artists’ explanations over proper artistic conveyance/lack of skill, but i don’t think the trad culture war dudes who are the dominant voice for this opinion really care about art itself as much as they care about art’s reflection of the state of culture/values. which is fine whatever but what gets me is that I’ve seen some of these guys shit on movements like gothic/realist/surrealist art because it’s “promoting a cynical, pessimistic, and intentionally confusing view of the world” instead of promoting proper western ideals. like i heard this one guy criticize the intentional omission of heads/limbs from a figure sculpture in homage to the remnants of early Greek sculpture by saying something to the effects of “the Greeks would have laughed at us for finding beauty in their broken sculptures.” which is so retarded like just because modern artists suck doesn’t mean there isn’t any merit to experimentation and taking creative liberty or inspiration from things not of the most strict definitions of objective beauty. we get it you saw that one viral post about the rape of prosperina and think you’re an art critic now, but i think refusing to acknowledge the appeal/skill of someone like bosch or dali even if it isn’t your taste is kind of childish. and gives “raised by my grandparents” vibes
