By Having Hera The Goddess Of Marriage Have A Decades-long Affair With Her Brother-in-law, It Makes It

by having hera the goddess of marriage have a decades-long affair with her brother-in-law, it makes it pretty obvious that lore olympus is only very VERY loosely based on actual greek mythology. i wouldn’t even call it a modern retelling, it’s more of the author using the names of gods but they’re all her own characters. i dont think that’s a bad thing, it actually means that the story can go in any direction really and the story arc could get really interesting - although persephone and hades probably have to end up together at the end bc that seems to be the only detail smythe is keeping.

personally what i’d love to see is lore olympus showing when persephone and hades ultimately get together that they’re relationship really isn’t something to aspire to and that in some ways it’s even toxic. maybe it’ll work out maybe it won’t but it would be interesting to see. i very much doubt the story will go in this direction but still.

no one asked but my all-time favourite ten webtoons are (in no particular order):

heir’s game

shootaround

odd girl out

space boy

yumi’s cells

unordinary

cursed princess club

lore olympus

the wrath and the dawn

tales of the unusual

me seeing they’re charging me international fees instead of home fees: D:

spent the entire weekend listening to trap queen by fetty wap, i feel very productive

can’t believe i’m gonna be spending my 18th in lockdown mad :(

honestly i wish meghan and harry would say something really political and break the royal code not because i particularly like them, i just hate the royal family and everything it stands for, so it’d be fun to watch it burn.
