A star is born 🌟
I just had to redesign Hera’s fertility goddess form. In all ways possible, I wanted her to be opposite of Kronos, hence the total makeover.
I based her color palette off of a neutron star! Neutron stars are technically dead stars and she was “dead” there for a minute so I figured that would go hand in hand.
Hope you like my redesign (click for better resolution) ✨

the new episodes of Lore Olympus has pissed me off so bad to the point I went to character.ai and proceeds to these of the following:
-Kill Hades
-Change the entire course of Persephone’s life so she never meets Hades, isn’t an asshole bitch Hera 2.0 , loves her mother, and ends up with Minthe (contemplated Hermes but I put him with Thanatos)
-Make Demeter have a good life and never ridiculed by the other gods
-Change the entirety of the story of Apollo by making him a nice, more myth accurate no rape Persephone guy who ends up with Hyacinthus (who doesn’t die!!!)
-kept Thanatos a twink who ends up with Hermes (he brings death and Hermes brings the souls down. Tell me that’s not romantic as fuck)
-let Aphrodite be HAPPILY TOGETHER with Ares (bc she needs it. Also made her not a weirdo who drugs Persephone)
-gave Minthe a good life
-Made Ares more myth accurate and a good person
-Made Hestia a sweetheart whose like a godmother of sorts to Persephone (myths!!!)
-Made all the gods more myth accurate basically
-gave nymphs JUSTICE (Leuce, Thetis, all of them.)
Bot all were completely character.ai, I wrote some stuff of my own.
This took SO LONG Rachel gives me unfiltered rage

My thoughts on Lore Olympus right now.
This series, just like any other, is art retold by different people, and you love it or hate it, that's fine. But we don't need to dunk on it just because it's not the exact retelling of the OG mythology or it doesn't meet the requirements or standards fans place it. We are separate from the original mythology by removing the incestuous nature and other attributes that the original myths may have had that impacted the story in a way that it was difficult to decipher. Lore Olympus is a modern retelling if the concept of older gods were modernized, like in our society with the complexities that make perfect, untouchable beings flawed or have flaws. Sort of in a way of making them human in sense. Giving feelings and thoughts to beings whom we never known to have any beside what was told to us in ancient times.
If people are going to critique this series as a whole, It needs to be with a neutral opinion or unbiased comments on what Lore Olympus got right and what needed to be fixed or corrected. This includes characters, character design, narrative, story pacing, and presentation of each character's personalities, which are shown with depth and quality. Not bashing on the author or any authors who decide they want to put a spin on an old story.
All media on the mythology is not perfect and was never gonna be to begin with. We'll all add a bit or piece of our own narrative into media that we find fascinating. Personally, I don't even watch the videos that pop up on YouTube because it doesn't give a good commentary video on Lore Olympus. Either saying it's terrible or the worse retelling and harping on it without actually giving good pointers on why they hate it so much. It should be about the pros and cons towards good storytelling, and if we need to make fan work to create artistic expression, then so be it. If not that, then what would be the point of reading, playing, or watching media based on mythology of different cultures in the first place? Including this one.

I hate lore olympus. I despise it. It slanders one of the gods i like (i named myself after this god irl i do not like the way this god is written), I dislike the way Artemis is written and there seems to be weird romantic undertones with Athena and Hestia’s … whatever the fuck is going on and i dislike the thing between Hades and Hera.
But godDAMN the new plot line with all the children of kronos is COOOL AS SHITTTT I HATE IT. ITS SO INTERESTING BUT YOU HAVE TO READ THROUGH 150 OTHER CHAPTERS I DISLIKE.
LIKE. YES I LOVE HADES, HERA, POSEIDON AND HESTIA GETTING ILL BECAUSE OF KRONOS’S PLANS. YES I LOVE THE FACT THAT ZEUS IS THE ONLY ONE LEFT BECAUSE HE DIDNT GET EATEN BY KRONOS. YES I LOVE HADES BEING KRONOS’S VESSEL AND BECOMING HIS WORST FEAR.
BUT I ALSO HATE THE WAY THAT ALL THE FEMALE CHARACTERS ARE UWU-IFIED AND DRAWN REALLY SMALL NEXT TO THE MALE CHARACTERS. I HATE THE WAY ARES IS WRITTEN. LIKE IT JUST SEEMS WEIRD TO ME.
#it also has some terf-y vibes to it#but other people who have looked at it through that lens can talk about that better than i can#for now this is just some of my gripes with the writing as a mythology nerd.#it has the potential to be so good#like that scene where Minthe says Hades looks just like kronos? in.fucking.credible#how kronos is written as the big bad guy? amazing in the more recent chapters hes scheming and plotting and exploting people#and it is wonderfully well written#especially hades because hes been compared to kronos the whole way through#but the romance aspects of it ruin it for me#a rant about lore olympus#lore olympus hate

Lore Olympus is like if you put Greek Mythology in a pan, mixed it with your average Melanie Martinez songs, 13 Reasons Why, Euphoria, Twilight, and Riverdale; then burn it in the Wattpad Baker 1000, and try to cover up the absolute burnt monstrosity with one of those artificial pink frosting that tastes like battery acid and piss.

More things I hate about modern literature because today is a bad day and I need to be a dick online to feel better:
How much sex there is in everything
And again I am not a prude, erotica has existed for decades and it's okay but every popular YA or adventure book nowadays is a bad erotica with some low stakes adventure in the background
And somehow they are able to be both bad porn and bad adventure
And also people will promote those books as " yes the plot kinda sucks but there's good sex scenes"
The word Mary sue
The misuse of the word Mary sue
Any attempt to make a "LOTR inspired" book made by a man
Because usually the things that made LOTR good go just over the authors head and we end with basically a vin diesel movie set in the middle ages
This is not just about modern literature but books about or set in horrible moments for a oppressed minority(like holocaust or slavery) written by people who aren't part of said minority
Coleen hoover
She did for feminist literature what Seth MacFarlane did for adult animation
The harry Potter/Percy Jacksonification of children's literature
The magical choose one trope being taken to a magical world did irremediable damage to children's literature
The mean girl trope
Books set in fictional middle ages but the protagonist go to balls in fashion show modern runaway style dresses
You know the tacky Pinterest glittery showing shoulders back and leg
Those official arts of the same exactly white women and the same white guy in slightly different clothes with the same 2016 style eyebrows and the sharp jawline and the nothing expression
Characters being described as "golden skin" so depending if the author needs some representation points they can be interpreted as people of color but if no one says nothing they stay as just tan white
Comparing dark skin color to any food
How many authors try to make at the same time "this is brainless wish fulfilment fantasy about being desired by a hot dominating guy" and " this is a profound take about the horrors of abuse"
Usually by having the second love interest to abuse the protag
In the end the message that stays is any abuse is forgivable if the abuser is hot enough
The "I'm skinny but not hot super model skinny I am ugly skinny my bones show because of malnourishment"
"yet I don't feel any other effect of starvation like being weak and I can carry five times my body weight in whatever animal the author needs me to hunt in the beginning of the book because making me a farmer wouldn't be cool"
"I am ugly" cried the skinny girl with locks of auburn hair porcelain white skin and eyes of emerald green.
The jk Rowling stupid name school (she named the werewolf Wolfy mcwolf in Latin and people though it was smart now we have a girl who fights on a island named island and the archer who marries a fae named fae archer )
And again faes because fuck faes

Just remembered this as you had your new post - what is the political system of Olympus? Cause we have Zeus as King, Apollo as Prince (and temporary King), but in your post he was lobbying for Presidency? What is this political system? A monarcy? A democracy? What was Apollo going to be President of????
The political system in LO can simply be defined as "whatever Rachel needs it to be to write herself out of the corner she wrote herself into" 💀😆
#yeah the apollo for president thing still bugs the shit out of me LOL#like sir do you even know where you are rn#and everyone just going along with his 'sinister master plan' IS SO FRUSTRATING#WHY IS ANYONE PUTTING UP WITH THIS IDIOT#LITERALLY HALF THE PANTHEON ALREADY HATES HIM SO WHY ARE THEY LISTENING TO HIM LMAOOO#ask me anything#ama#anon ama#anon ask me anything#lo critical#anti lore olympus#lore olympus critical

Wtf is this expression.
This looks more like a face Hypnos from hades would make than a lady facing her abuser.
This is a face you make when you’re giving the himbo prince of the underworld advice not when killing the man that r**** you.
#anti lore olympus#anti lo#lo critical#lore olympus critical#lo criticism#lore olympus#I’ve seen fastpass spoilers on Reddit but wtf#also that design?does not slay#I’ll make a separate post on how much I hate the design later#at this point lo is just a joke#but then again I have a rewrite to learn how to draw for and I like to analyze these things so ehh it’s not that bad#I just hate this chapter it’s not even funny#is this what the others who’ve been in the business feel?#the worst part is that the monologue is cool in theory but once you think of it for more than five seconds it becomes stupid#but anyways I don’t want to save the actual rant in the tags so yeah

i want so badly to like this scene because on the surface it has so many elements that could have and might have worked if they were implemented any differently but god it's still such a surface level display of a plot that's been hanging around since season one.
like yeah, she would be! persephone has not seen her rapist since he threatened to expose the photos he took of her during the assault, and it caused her to break down and run away. she knows he's manipulative, she's seen first hand how apollo has warped and twisted so many people to hide his crime, she knows he's powerful and dangerous. even surrounded by so many other people, the nineteen year old girl who was asleep in her bed is still terrified of apollo.
i have zero issue with this part - in fact, i really sympathized with persephone here. the idea of not only having to play nice with your abuser, to pretend to give them an ounce of respect or kindness they do not deserve, but knowing they are not sorry for what they did, knowing they want still to hurt you in some way? you can be queen of the underworld or the mortal realm or of all the gods, and that is still a horrifying prospect.
but then we run into this:
and it's not a bad sequence, or a problematic one; the issue is that persephone has not done any of the work to get to this point.
and by work, i'm talking about therapy, about sitting down and talking to someone about this on her own terms. she had one therapy session where her assault was tacked into the last five to ten minutes of the session; there is no indication she's ever gone back. she's been confronted on her assault - hades, hera, artemis, eros, and hermes have all found out about it without persephone telling them, or wanting to tell them, and hephaestus is aware (which it seems persephone does not know) because he deleted the photos of her assault. hera and hephaestus literally saw her assault in those photos. all of those people and instances are outside of persephone's control; she has never, not once, told any of her friends or her husband of what happened to her of her own choice. in at least three of those instances, she had to comfort the other person who is finding out about her trauma.
and that leads to another issue, which is that persephone has categorically refused to bring apollo to justice. in the past, when apollo had leverage over her, and she was still coming to terms with what happened to her, it was understandable that persephone didn't want anyone to know what happened. the problem is that in the time between her rape and current time, apollo has tried to kill one of her close friends, brought demeter to zeus in exchange for persephone's hand, attempted to kill the king of the gods, and is now weaponizing the deadly winter to become king. at least three members of the olympians know persephone was assaulted, including the queen of the gods. persephone has witnesses and backup and power, and she is still not using it to put apollo away.
so this promise to protect herself, to protect the nineteen year old girl who was alone with a monster - it rings a little too hollow for me. because persephone isn't protecting herself, she's running from herself. she's running from who she used to be and what she once was and what led her to that point. and as so many abuse victims can attest to, running often feels like the easiest thing, and the most protective thing. but at some point, you have to stop running, because it isn't protecting you - it's wearing you down.
persephone doesn't need to run anymore, and as much as i like to trounce this comic and all the narrative choices, i say this with a lot of compassion and remorse: this isn't protecting herself, and i want better for her.
#anti lo#anti lore olympus#abuse ment /#assault ment /#i recognize this issue hits differently for everyone#and there are likely people who do not agree and i fully 1000% understand#this is arguably a more personal take than most of my other posts so i ask respectfully that comments / tags show kindness to everyone#this plot obviously has a LOT of elements and issues i hate and scream problematic#but honestly this scene just made me really sad#like girl ... why are you alone when you call him :(#and to depict apollo as half dressed in some kind of weird sultry vibe#like they're on equal flirtatious ground#man ...

Friendly reminder to both the Lore Olympus Stans and the Antis:
Persephone’s hair growth has nothing to do with her stress
i.e., she can grow it out whenever she likes and it is not tied to her emotions. I think @genericpuff had a post that talked about this but after reading the comments under the most recent episode, I wanted to reiterate.
Sorry to be the bearer of bad news

......
Y'all need to tell me where you guys finding story's where they don't have a good relationship, cause I have seen a total of 15 in my life time and wanna see Demeter as the amazing mother she is...

..Hera being in lesbians with Echo is so STUPID!!
Why did she call her husband, the man she's loved for centuries. Her OLD FRIEND?!?!?! BE SO FR!!
I'm still annoyed about this--
Echo being paired with Minthe would've been less sudden!! Also Echo needs some self respect. Like..Hera and her haven't spoken for maybe months and then suddenly all she gets is a LETTER?? This is so dumb.
Rachel RELEASE hera from your grubby ass hands. You don't deserve her
#anti lore olympus#j.p speaks#lo critical#also..Hera not caring about her own husband is so. annoying.#that couldve been so emotional but no#cuz rachel hates hera and zeus so much she refuses to write them properly#if you cant tell by my language. im slightly joking#its just an insane plot point.

Hades and Persephone series but make it more like Beauty and the Beast
Persephone refusing to do ANYTHING until Hades fixes his act and treats her like a living being
Several months of Persephone giving Hades nothing but attitude because he is being disrespectful and literally kidnapped her
And continuing that until he apologizes and gives her space to roam around the underworld
And Persephone likes Cerberus more because that dog is the only one who treated her well and not like she was just Hades’ bride and even after her and Hades get together she still prefers Cerberus because she bonded with him
#deleted the original because a Zionist kept reblogging#no creepy age gaps#or damsel Persephone#no mysterious bad boy hades#also less Persephone and Hades and more Eros and Psyche#Greek mythology#this is Lore Olympus hate#LO salt#anti lore olympus#Lore Olympus salt#Hades#Persephone

I wonder why christian misrepresentation are rarely talked about if compared to other religion misrepresentation. Like, I've seen people really vocal about Greek myths misrepresentation in LO and such (and it's valid because it's a culture and religion) but I rarely saw the same thing with christian even though there are many media who use christian religion innacurately, to the point where it comes off as using it as an aesthetic and not a proper religion.
Is it because of rampant religious trauma especially in western world? No ulterior motives on this question. I'm not a christian and yet I'm curious about this. I apologize if this sounds harsh.
I obviously don't have The Answer(tm) to this but personally speaking (and I'm about to get VERY personal here so take this with MOUNTAINS OF SALT), I think it's just the obvious - Christian mythology is one of the most well-documented and strongly protected out of virtually any other religion on the planet. Especially here in the West, it's commonplace for kids to go to Sunday school, for couples to have Christian weddings even if they're not practising Christians themselves, even the American anthem references the Christian God. It's simply not as easy to 'misrepresent' it because the representation is written into our very fabric of society. Even Greece itself is primarily made up of Orthodox Christians.
So anyone that does 'misrepresent' it are either completely mislead hardcore Christians, or people who are doing it intentionally, such as with the intent to make a parody of it or to deconstruct it through a different context or whatever have you. And of course, people will still get mad at those things, if you're implying that people aren't vocal about Christian misrepresentation then frankly IDK what to tell you there LOL If you want a contextual example in the realm of webtoons, Religiously Gay was dragged to hell and back during its launch for having a very crude and insulting depiction of St. Michael, and frankly, yeah I don't disagree because what the fuck is this-
(like at best it's just terrible character design lmao that said, there's also plenty else to criticize Religiously Gay for, including its fetishy representation of gay relationships and the fact that it's still just the "naive person who looks and acts like a child hooks up with mean person in a position of power" trope, blech, but the character design is definitely the first thing you notice)
There are even plenty of hardcore Christians who will deadass claim "misrepresentation" over things that ARE factually correct but they just haven't read the actual Bible and simply cherry pick what works for their own agenda. And of course those people are routinely called out by people like myself who know for a fact that Jesus wouldn't have promoted the war crimes that many modern day Christians are committing and justifying today. So it really depends on the definition of "misrepresentation" here.
The issue specifically with LO and Rachel that I personally call her out for (and many others) is that she's called herself a "folklorist" and claimed she's so much more knowledgeable on Greek myth than anyone else, while making a complete mockery of the original mythologies while not being honest about her intent as to whether LO is actually supposed to be a legitimate retelling OR a parody (because it sure acts like the latter more than the former, but she still seems to expect us to take it seriously and consider her knowledge of Greek myth superior?) Which leads to a lot of her teenage audience claiming shit like "Persephone went down to the underworld willingly" and "Apollo did assault Persephone in the original myths actually" and the classic "why would Lore Olympus lie or make up fake myths?"
You just can't pull off this extent of erasure with Christian mythology because we have a whole ass book of it that's been preserved, sold on shelves, and systematically integrated into society for thousands of years. Of course, there are people who will still try their damned best to twist the Bible to match their own bigotry with the whole "Jesus hates gays" bullshit (he would never), but it's met with equal amounts of 'misrepresentation' that are actually fully well-read and are intentionally subverting and changing things to either critique, parody, or restore the original intent of a lot of stories in the Bible without all the manufactured right-wing crap.
Greek myth, on the other hand, has some stories that are well preserved, and others, not so much. And in the modern day outside of the poems and hymns, you'll also rarely, if ever, see anyone use stories from Greek myth to ostracize, torture, and murder other people. "Misrepresenting Christianity" is more often done by actual Christians who are using the Bible to commit hate crimes than the people who have actually read the Bible and are just taking creative liberties with it for the sake of deconstructing / parodying / analyzing / subverting it. Veggie Tales "misrepresents" Christian stories because obviously Moses wasn't a fucking cucumber lmao but it still accomplishes its goal by retelling Christian stories in a way that's fun and educational for children.
By comparison (on the whole, I'm not comparing LO to Veggie Tales LMAO) LO just isn't clear in its intentions beyond Rachel's initial statements that she was trying to "deconstruct" the myths, while labelling herself as a folklorist. Therefore, I'm going to criticize how she does it because the way she's done it up until now has been very mishandled and has resulted in a lot of misinterpretations of the myths simply for the sake of fandom. And yes, these people exist in Christian media as well - they're called TV evangelists.
And that's my (very heavy) two cents.
#here's your reminder that missionaries are colonizers#find me the Hellenistic pagans knocking on people's doors asking them if they want to hear about the glory of Aphrodite lmao#honestly it also depends on what you're surrounding yourself with#obv if you take part in the LO fandom and avoid what's going on in the christian world then what you experience and see will seem skewed#like even i could be very wrong in my opinion based on my own experiences as someone who lives in the west-#maybe there ARE pagans knocking on doors and using greek myth to commit hate crimes#so yeah we all gotta try not to fall for survorship bias#there are plenty of stories of people getting mad about christian mythology and its misrepresentations on BOTH sides#lo critical#lore olympus critical#anti lore olympus#webtoon critical#ama#ask me anything#anon ama#anon ask me anything
