Persephone: I don't give a damn if you make me a dumb ditzy bitch in your "retellings" or whatever. Persephone: But I draw the line at insulting my mother. Persephone: So watch your fucking mouth.

Screaming weeping and crying as I rewatch Overly Sarcastic Productions' video about Hades and Persephone, a 20 minute long video that almost entirely focuses on the relationship between Persephone and Demeter as well as the ties they have to the underworld in their own right outside of Hades, only to look in the comment section and it's 99%:

"Hades and Persephone are like the Gomez and Morticia of Greek mythology"

"Hades and Persephone as a pastel-goth couple but imagine Hades is the pastel and Persephone is the goth!"

Like I get the appeal of Hades and Persephone's perceived dynamic in modern pop culture, but the video could not more clearly be primarily about Persephone and Demeter what is wrong with you people

Накипело и терпеть я больше не хочу.

Rewriting Kidnapping of Persephone into a romantic/melodramatic story with consensual love is one of the most disgusting and disrespectful things I’ve seen.

I’ve been there too. You and I live in modern world and in modern world edgelords, goths, emos, etc have been trendy for a while. Liking them is cool. Hades, the god of the dead, is close to those things and he has a cool dog, so liking him will make you “not like other mythology fans” (we ended up being the same, what an irony). Despite that, we, idiots, wish for romantic love and project that on Hades. Who’s he with canonically? Persephone? She MUST be so happy to have him uwu 🥰

Do you not understand that if today life gives you extra kicks for being a woman, then 2000 years ago it was ultimately worse? How low must you think of victims of kidnappings, if you see actual fcking love in that? How little must you think of family bonds that you put it below yet another abusive romance? Why are willing to sacrifice a mother character in favour of a kidnapper?

It’s a love story, but not about a romantic one. Demeter, a woman in Ancient Greece, managed to stand up to the Zues, king of gods, and his older brother, and return Persephone at least half of her freedom. Yes, freedom, not a demand to be near mommy, they are that kind of parent and child who love each other. A funny gig about marriage between kidnapper and kidnapped: the latter might never see her family again, she now belongs to the groom and it’s Antient times so guess which “might” is more likely to happen.

Zeus GAVE Persephone to Hades. Like a trophy. A lot of people desire to justify Hades (the dude never even was an outcast, you just Americanised him into a high school antisocial goth. I don’t see that much people making up same stories about Poseidon, who spends most of his time in the sea — his domain. Underworld is Hades’ domain, he’s not unhappy nor judged by other gods, ok? And trust me, an immortal being wouldn’t give a sh*t about us fearing and railing death) and overlook harmful antiquities. Whether the number is small or big, the fact they exist is terrifying.

That myth was above its time and, as we can see, above out time as well. Stories like Lore Olympus and Punderworld, that claim to be feminist rewriting, belittle, demonise Demeter, the only person who truly cares about Persephone’s well-being.

A feminist rewriting demonises a woman who left everything and everyone to save a woman from a kidnapper. If you don’t understand this whole concept is dumb sh*t, I’m not gonna explain why.

Kidnapping of Persephone, much like Hunters of Arthemis, was told to soothe and encourage women, let them know that despite being lower than men, they still have each other, they still can protect each other. Kidnapping of Persephone is a love story, love between mother and daughter. Please, don’t try convincing people it needs to be rewritten, it’s perfect as it is.

And for all what’s holy, don’t demonise Demeter, the exact person who truly loved Persephone, who saved Persephone, who wished her happiness.

Persephone

early spring colorful flowers blossom

sprouting from the softening earth

soft leaves of green and pink petals

daughter rests her head on mother’s lap

and they giggle about stupid things

an inside joke shared between them

new warmth courses through mother

driving away the winter’s frozen numbness

and bringing new life into cold hands

this will not last as long as they want

but they drive away the thought with

laughter as the world turns a deep green

Skyguy joins the Hades AU to Din's great distress

"How's Snips? And my Captain? I bet they've missed me all this time." "I don't know who you or those other people are, but you are scaring my kid."

They definitely missed him, but Rex sure as hell failed to mention his old General by name or description, so Din can be excused for a bit of rudeness just this once. He's looking for a Jedi to teach his kid, and since meeting Ahsoka he at least now knows that a lightsaber does not a Jedi make, please tone down the menacing looming, Anakin, and just help him, he's got a trinket from Rex in his pocket, he's cool. (Depending on the keepsake he runs with, Anakin is more or less likely to turn up as Vader instead to grant a boon only to make Din's life all the more difficult. So he is part Chaos, part just Disaster Lineage.)

As promised: the 501st command is all here for this project by now, all done in the span of a few months, so they even look like they match :)

Demeter: What do you have there, honey? Baby Persephone: *excited* I just created a fruit! Demeter: *gasps* Really? Can you show me? Baby Persephone: *holding out a fruit* I shaped it round and red to make it looks tasty! Demeter: Mhmm, you're right. Baby Persephone: I gave it a sweet flavor, like sugar, or honey! Demeter: Ooh! Sounds delicious, dear. Baby Persephone: I made it crunchy and juicy. When they bite it, the juice will spill out and they are gonna love it! Demeter: They sure will. Baby Persephone: And I put cyanide in its seed! Demeter: That's- Wait, what? Baby Persephone: If they eat too many seeds, they die! Demeter: Sweetie, no! Baby Persephone: I'm gonna call it "apple"!
