I really don’t like how one demential Stella is from helluva boss. She has the potential to be a really interesting complex character but is watered down to be a mean wife with zero development

I also don’t like how the show and the fans justify stolas’s cheating.

It’s terrible that he was forced to take part in an arranged marriage and that even though he made an effort to at least have a platonic or cordial relationship with Stella—

That she rebuffed his efforts and was a total asshole to him.

But no one deserves to be cheated on. I really hate how with a lot of media these days….characters both in canon and fandoms are written as black and white and aren’t given proper layers. And I think fandoms have ruined that. Like, you can still like a terrible character while acknowledging that they’re a terrible person without making shitty excuses for them

You can hate/ dislike a bad character without justifying all the terrible things that happened to them. I think the problem is ppl will give their faves or protagonist the benefit of the doubt or give them grace but characters we’re supposed to hate, that are written as bad, don’t deserve grace and patience and understanding

For some characters that’s true….some characters don’t deserve sympathy some characters don’t deserve redemption

But there’s a proper way to write it and I feel like creators and fans are missing that

Some of y’all already know how I feel about lore Olympus

It does a bad job of writing complex characters and holding the “bad” ones to a higher standard. So much so it backfires.

Minthe is one of the characters that was done SO dirty and was only put there to be an obstacle for hxp same as Demeter.

Minthe cheating on hades? Bad! Persephone persuing hades even after discovering he was already in an official relationship? That’s okay!

Because she’s our main protagonist! She’s nice! And not mean like that b*tch minthe!

Zeus cheating on Hera multiple times, with different women for decades? Bad! Zeus is a womanizing jerk who ditched his kids and mistreats his wife!

Hera cheats on Zeus by having an on again off again affair for freaking decades!?! That’s okay! Bc we love Hera! She supports hxp! She’s trying to set them up! She feels bad for poor poor hades! She’s constantly mistreated by her husband so that’s okay

Stolas was mistreated by Stella who was and is a terrible spouse but that doesn’t justify his cheating. I do feel bad for him sometimes. It sucks that the physical relationship he had for blitzo turned emotional and that he started having romantic feelings for him,only to get rejected time and time again. Stolas isn’t an entirely bad character we see multiple sides of him, he loves his daughter, he cares about blitzo he tried to do right by Stella. But even good characters can still do bad things.

And I don’t wanna hear “well they’re In hell lol 🤪” especially since we’ve seen multiple how monogamy and marriage are treated in this show. If the show is addressing how important it is..then it matters. If it didn’t it wouldn’t…..

It would’ve been nice to see that development and care be put into Stella instead of the classic hateful wife/spouse….

I love when people say such bullshit things about all powerful deities. These people obviously don't know anything about Lo Demeter and Greek mythology Demeter.

This boils my blood

Lore Olympus....I'm literally shaking right now.... That whole internal monologue Persephone gives at the beginning..... (which, there's too much for me to screenshot for this) Rachel nails it.

Last chapter and this one have a trigger warning for emotional abuse. It still very much applies.

A lot of this chapter is visual with only the most critical dialog applied.

Hestia, THANK YOU! In a way, this could have been the difference between what happens and what COULD have happened.

Moth Hades on Demeter's cheek.... the phrases "brush with Death" and "kiss of Death" come to mind, even if Thantos is not present.

I hate to see that Persephone did put on the dress (I still think it's a trap, btw), but the moths fluttering around her in a powerful visual. In her lowest moments, they are there... they are supportive....

Even the nymphs know this is bad..... they were dragged to this farce, but they want no part in it.

I got shivers down my spine. Those eerie red eyes looming behind Demeter as her daughter stands before her, with BLACK hands instead of overworked green ones.... Are the eyes Hades or Persephone's own wrath?

Rather than go after Demeter, Hades instead does the complete opposite--- approaches Persephone as calmly as he can and cuts through Demeter's abusive lies.

That Persephone IS worthy and capable. That she is wonderful and beautiful and..... so much more than what her mother says she is.

We see you, Eris! Even if no one actually DID go apeshit, your presence is there and very much felt. We see it in Persephone's tears and Hades' rage-red eyes.

We are happy to see Wrath in this moment.

This is.... I think the word is cathartic? Maybe this isn't how either of them pictured the moment to be, but it is what it NEEDED to be. You lift UP your partner when they are down. Hades does this here while highlighting many of the times Persephone did it for him, whether she realized it or not.

AND SHE SAID YES!!!!!!!!!!

And here it is at last.... the moment in mythology that this story pretty much came from...

Hades kidnapped raped proposed to Persephone and carried her down to Hell the Underworld.

Thank you for coming to my Lore Olympus post. There will be a follow up one with extra visuals shortly.

I got bored and yearned for the LO mines, SO here’s some soft redesigns of the three sisters!

I gave Demeter golden eyes cause 1) noticed she’s never given colored irises and 2) it’s a trade off from making her hair gold, wanted to be different.

Hera’s is pretty standard. Wanted to stick with blues to match her eyes, and for no other plot/character related reasons. The teary/streaked eyes are a choice! She lives for the drama.

Hestia’s is my “what if I just gave her cute clothes for fun!” Noticed she only wore long maxi dresses in canon, and I wanted to deviate from that! All of her outfits are from a TikToker I follow, who’s a plus sized bridal stylist! My favorite has to be the little white dress

Both Hestia and Hera have a glow to them, since one is made of stars and the other is based in fire/fireplace. But only Hestia gives off warmth. I’d imagine Metis had Hestia’s skintone, Demeter’s eyes, and Hera’s nose/face shape

LO RANT/VAGUE SPOILER:

I’m going to be unapologetically posting these rants because I’m absolutely fucking fuming. This entire Demeter situation is absolutely dog shit and it’s getting on my nerves, I’m not understanding how everyone is getting on Demeter for being so manipulative and such when HADES IS THE EXACT SAME. I’m so sick of this I feel like every few rants I say the exact same thing even though dozens of people still do this bullshit.

I’m upset and I’m mad because Demeter was never manipulative and evil like this, if you guys don’t get that this is basic character assassination then it’s fine but it is. Demeter was always proud of Persephone, after the whole 10 year reunion she literally said how proud she was of Persephone because she managed to keep the land up and running for the last ten years while she was gone. She didn’t even take up the conversation or make it about her, she just showed earnest pride in her daughters work. UNLIKE HADES, we have whole fucking chapters dedicated to Hades making everything about himself yet everyone is fine with him doing that?? It makes no fucking sense. Hades disregards Persephone’s feelings time and time again, he makes every single conversation about himself, how he empathizes with others has to do with himself, his trauma is the only one validated, he’s the only one who can get away with being an absolute shitty parent and a terrible person and he’s the only one who can manipulate others without consequence. Do you guys not see how absolutely insane it is to hate Demeter and not Hades? Is it not strange to you how every single time this man speaks it’s always about himself or Persephone and even when speaking about Persephone it’s always pertaining to things she can do for him.

I can go on and on how the fans’ outrage towards this whole Demeter thing is crazy! They say that Demeter doesn’t respect Persephone well guess what, I have a funny story for you. Hades doesn’t either, he literally only wants her to be his wife and have his kids. He’s never once imagined her in a position of power nor has he ever been completely supportive with her way of doing things. There’s always a weird condescending nature with him when he’s interacting with Persephone and it’s crazy how no one else picks it up with those two. He literally only likes her cause of her physical looks and because she’s nice enough to tolerate. There’s never been a time where he truly showed actual respect to Persephone, he doesn’t do anything respectful towards her except for the bare minimum which is what it’s called. Bare.

Then people say that she’s wrong for saying she isn’t ready to run a kingdom. I want to let you in on a little secret.. Persephone hasn’t been doing shit ever since she made Tartarus defeat Kronos and even when she once again got someone else to get their hands dirty for her guess what? He’s back so she didn’t even do shit. Like come on, you couldn’t even finish the job with Kronos??? And that’s what we’re supposed to respect her for?? All powerful, all knowing, all beauty, all brains fertility goddess Persephone couldn’t defeat big bad Kronos that she was able to take down in five panels? You’re absolutely kidding me!! Persephone is so powerful it’s amazing that she didn’t take him down!!! Anyways, let’s get real. Persephone hasn’t even made any comments on what she wants to do as queen, she doesn’t know anything about the underworld still and she doesn’t even want to know by the looks of it. She doesn’t act like someone who’s accepted their job or responsibility she looks like she just got access to Hades’ wallet and is now going to live her life like nothing happened… Oh wait. That’s exactly what she’s doing.

Also, can we please stop ignoring the multiple critics talking about Hades’ obsession with courting Persephone and having a family with her all without her knowing?? Like I hate that this huge monumental issue in their relationship is being treated all cute and such. This is exactly what happened to Minthe people, and you all hated her because of how she responded to it yet you’re all fine with Hades considering doing the same to yet another woman that he love bombed into a relationship with. Speaking of Minthe, I think it’s pretty sick how no one allowed her to actually validate her emotions. Believe it or not Hades was planning on proposing to her in front of everyone who hated her, everyone who disrespected her, everyone who looked down on her, everyone who felt as if she were inferior and undeserving of the relationship as a whole. Imagine how that would feel for you, and why would you ever want to be with a man who cares so little about you, Hades is so tied up in his fantasy that once the perfect wife comes along his problems will all be solved. Why is everyone okay with him doing this to others?

Speaking of using women as literal wish fulfillments, this feminist story has to be a spit in the face to those it tells us it represents. Why is it that everyone is okay with Hades using these women to fit into his image and the way he wants the relationship to be without even trying to understand their desires or needs? Why are we so comfortable watching him force his wishes on these women? Is it because he’s not being violent that we look the other way, is it because he begs instead of demands things that makes this okay? Is it because of his constant useless awareness of him trying to stop himself from being a borderline creep that we’re fine with his unsettling behavior? If anything this comic should’ve taught everyone that violence against anyone doesn’t always have to be physical, what Hades is doing is damaging and he’s not just doing it to one person he’s doing it to multiple people without consequence.

I hate to say it but the way he has so many similarities with Apollo is very disturbing. I know a lot of LO fans will try and deny however many times they can but it’s the truth, he’s just like him really. They’re behaviors, the way they approach people, and genuinely how they react and speak to others are similar which is very very disturbing. It’s something that should’ve been discussed within the fandom instead of Demeter wanting her daughter far away from someone like that.

Anyways, I’m going to be defending Demeter and any other character who dislikes Hades for good reasons with my life because they’re the only ones who actually make sense.

LORE OLYMPUS UPDATEEEEDDDDDDDDD

Yay

And there's so much to touch on

I fucking loved Hebe..the way she move demeter just by telling her how things were with her mother, and how it was quite different from her and Persephone and finally made her take the step to a good relationship with her daughter.

Just by sharing her oppinion respectfully and showing an actual point

THIS IS GENERATIONAL TRAUMA TALKING AND CONVERSATIONS THAT TAKE TO NOT REPEAT THEM, BY RESPECTING THE PAST BUT NOT LET IT HAPPEN AGAIN.

And Hebe summed up so fricking well.

And it's true two things can be true, especially in complicated relationships

And i just ªªªª LOVE IITT

These panels were everything, appreciation fir them cause they were so good. Also love, really love what's going on in them

AND THEN LOOK AT THIS, JUST LOOK HOW BEAUTIFUUULL AND CUTE THAT KID IS.

I was not expecting him having anything to do with demeter But that turn makes so much sense in how she behaved with Kore (it doesn't justify it but it makes us understand her a lot more)
