Ares Ill Help

Ares I’ll help

Zeus: Ares is playing dress-up with Hebe.

Hera: He is?

Zeus: Yup. She was upset about some kid at school calling her names.

Hera: That’s sweet of him to distract her.

*Meanwhile*

Ares, going through Hebe’s closet: Now these shoes have a reinforced sole, meaning your kick is gonna be twice as painful-

I 100% agree with what you said and it’s shitty how Rachel and the fan base is. It’s disgusting and I was like wtf is Persephone doing when Hades and Minthe were in a finalized relationship. And then the other gods not respecting hades when he was in his relationship with Minthe was also shitty. Like they were encouraging and basically setting them up too. None of it was right. I really didn’t like it at all. Also about how she portrays Apollo. Lore Olympus is what got me into Greek Mythology but as I read more the more I learn that Lore Olympus is just not good representation at all and I hate it.

I wish is wasn’t my first impression of Greek Mythology.

don't you love how LO and its fanbase have a double standard when it comes to how minthe and persephone are portrayed in their relationship with hades

because i fucking don't, it's frustrating and goes to show how ironically far up persephone's ass everyone is

A lot of the things Minthe gets criticized for, Persephone is outright celebrated for.

Minthe is into glitzy fashion and expensive dinners and relies on Hades for all her financial help? She's materialistic and vapid and a gold digger taking advantage of Hades. When Persephone does those things? She's a confident go-getter who knows what she deserves and won't accept any less.

Minthe acts shitty and cold to the people around her? She's a cunt who doesn't deserve friends or any sort of empathy whatsoever. Persephone does it? She's a #bossbabe and the person she's snipping at "probably deserved it anyways."

Minthe displays blatant PDA with Hades? She's nasty and gross and disrespectful to the people around her. Persephone does it? The whole realm talks about it and cheers for it, with many of the side characters going so far as to try and hook them up every opportunity they can get.

Minthe acts petty to try and 'get back' at Persephone, she's seen as a petty bitch and even called out on her behavior BY THE CHARACTERS THEMSELVES. Persephone does the EXACT SAME SHIT, and people flat out encourage her.

Minthe sneaks around Hades back to hook up with Thanatos? She's a cheater and doesn't deserve him. Persephone literally flirts with and comes onto Hades when she knows Minthe is with Hades? It's fine, Minthe deserves what's coming to her and Persephone and Hades are 'meant to be'. Never mind the fact that as SOON as Minthe and Hades decided to be in an actual committed relationship, beyond just the terms of their original agreement (which was transactional) Minthe broke it off with Thanatos. What does Persephone do though when she admits to flirting with Hades knowing he's in a relationship? She acknowledges it's not fair to Minthe, but just asks to "slow down". She seems to be more concerned with breaking the terms of her TGOEM agreement than hurting Minthe or participating in an emotional affair.

Point is, Persephone is constantly being given a pass by the narrative, Rachel, and her own fanbase that she's allowed and justified to do whatever she wants, while everyone else "deserves" whatever shitty end of the stick they get so long as they're not "in the way" of Hades and Persephone's relationship. If RS ever swapped out these Persephone moments with Minthe, the narrative would spin it as a horrible, tasteless thing and the fanbase would throw eggs at her. It's wild how the narrative will try to convince us Minthe is the root of all Hades' suffering when, if anything, Minthe is a victim and Hades' relationship with Persephone has many of the same foundations as his relationship with Minthe.

Anyways, this turned into a way longer essay than I planned it to, but seriously, Minthe deserved better, and just because Rachel will bend over backwards to try and paint Minthe as the root of all evil doesn't mean she deserved to be cheated on or turned into a plant; on the flipside, just because Persephone is the main protagonist doesn't mean her actions are any more justifiable than Minthe's. You can't call Minthe a bitch for doing what she did when Persephone is given a free pass to do the same shit all the time. Context doesn't even matter in many of these cases, there is no context that makes it okay to have such double standards and almost blatantly obvious class/racial imbalances in your own narrative that claims to be 'feminist' and is being written for teenage girls.

Stop lecturing Minthe and start holding Persephone accountable.

There all so accurate 😂😂

I just finished a book like this and I almost started sobbing 😭

@ this motherfucker on Twitter who put into words what I couldn’t

Flynn Rider was the blueprint for Steve Harrington

Did I ever tell you, I’ve got a thing for brunettes?

FLYNN RIDER - STEVE HARRINGTON

Poseidon is the fucking best I love him. He’s my favorite LO character

apparently poseidon is the only god in all of LO who isn't casually or directly racist (/s)

meanwhile hera is like:

only for HADES TO IMMEDIATELY ASK AFTERWARDS:

like rachel wants us to think "wow hades is really sad because he's the only one without a date" but really all i get from this now is hades checking if the nymph trash wife is at the party because hera literally just said 'nymph trash' aloud when amphitrite is LITERALLY THERE AT THE PARTY and also hades just got stood up by his own nymph partner

and hera's response is like "yeah i know, i didn't wanna invite nymphs to this thing either but we had to because poseidon is married to one"

uh oh spaghettio's, poseidon is the only cool god in the entire LO pantheon oop-
