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.

anti LO anon opinions:

Amazing how LO shows how completely inept Persephone is at even basic work tasks or social norms but somehow she’s a super genius of biology and knows how to make herself untraceable. Contradictions in characters are a good thing but it makes no sense in Persephone’s case.

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

when i feel down i like to tell myself that mark zuckerberg’s ex probably never accepted his friend request and it makes me feel a little better

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.
