This is the guy who asked about the other mythology’s and monster reader.

I think it’s neat that your willing to take other mythology’s into consideration. Greek mythology is really the only one that ever gets attention, with a few getting close to that amount.

So on that note…. an idea. If you don’t have any familiarity with Norse mythology, you may have to do some research. The Nordic goddess of death and ruler of Hel, Hel. Her domain and name are the same. I think she might be an interesting character to write about, and she’s not that well known.

If you like this, and if you want it, I can do some more stuff. But only if you want to. I get all giddy when it comes to mythology, I hope it gives you inspiration!

I've noticed that as well! 

And yes I'm familiar with Norse mythology! Hel is an interesting Goddess, I really like her characterization in mythology. She has this spitefulness you’d expect from a deity ‘burdened’ with overseeing the dead, this kind of “I’ve already been gifted the duty of which no one else wants, why should I do anything for you?”. She’s this persona of coldness that so many would assume of her based off her status as Hel. Hel doesn’t have many sources or myths involving her, but the major one has her refusing to release the beloved Baldur unless every being weeps for him. She doesn’t necessarily take joy in this either, though it depends on where you read her myths, she simply does not care. When Hermod comes to ask for him again, she does not laugh when she refuses (because there was a singular creature that did not cry for the dead god). And yet, she’s also shown as being a warm hostess towards Baldur and his wife as they entered her realm in some interpretations. I really enjoy what I can find of her! 

And yes please do send more! I’d love to just be informed or even bounce ideas/headcanons off of each other.
