When Hazel insisted on tagging along in a mission involving Cupid, Frank thought she had some idea for the two of them and wanted Cupid’s insight.
What he didn’t expect, though, was his girlfriend showcasing her Underworld-princess side as she relentlessly destroys the god.
All the while gritting her teeth, eyes full of hatred, seething, furious, murderous: “You hurt my brother.”
Frank had never seen Hazel as anything terrifying - until that moment.

💚Melinoë, Princess of the Underworld💚
Second (and probably not last) time I paint Melinoë, I love her character design so much!😭
I'm kinda late to the hype of the technical test demo but hey, art takes time!🥰
I've started playing Hades again to get the 100% and I can do nothing but praise Supergiant Games for such a masterpiece of a game!

The Ostanian Mafia: Gretcher Crime Family (and a little bit of the Garden!)
a list of ongoing headcanons which are purely mine for the underworld. don’t take this to heart, it’s all for fun!
contains spoilers for the cruise arc chapters 43-57. read at your own risk if you're only watching the anime.
more beneath the cut
we don't know much about the gretcher crime family and the underworld in canon as they're only mentioned at the moment, so here's a set of headcanons i have for them~
the gretcher family are the boss of the bosses. i could take some references that there's a slight chance they're based off a powerful mafia family in real life.
there's a sort of hierarchy in the underworld, with shopkeeper mentioning how they’ve “managed ostania’s underworld in an honorable fashion.” it definitely means they have a very big influence with their connections.
there could also be other crime families as well that we don't know of. i believe it doesn't take only the gretchers to help run the underground government of the underworld.
to add onto that last point, to help run a government or to lead, you gotta at least have some knowledge on it (and know a few dirty tricks up their sleeves).
now, onto the gretchers and the garden…
the gretcher crime family are well-respected with having to head the underworld honorably for decades, but what makes of it for the two leaders of their respective organizations?
shopkeeper and gram gretcher.
although it’s mentioned that garden takes orders from the shadow government, it definitely wouldn’t be surprising if garden have members deep into the government - especially inside the current administration right now - that do not want conflict.
ie: we have matthew as the director of policy at city hall. who knows, we could meet another garden member (that’s not shopkeeper) in the future who could possibly be in a higher position?
in berlint and ostania's upper society, status, connections, and power were extremely important. the same could definitely be applied for the underworld. there must be some politicians out there in the country's society (maybe in the liberal administration) that is helping back the east's underground criminals.
(making sure they don't get caught, making sure whatever they do isn't going to track their identities, etc. etc.)
in chapter 43 when shopkeeper mentioned that "she'll go on the cruise as a normal passenger to evade detection of the coast guard," we still need to remember that olka gretcher (if she ever returns) is still the daughter of one of the powerful (late) mafia bosses.
olka and her son is boss gretcher's last living legacy.
if she changes her mind in the future, olka could still come back (like the same power-up when yor continued to fight back in chapter 55) to regain her position (with the help of shopkeeper and the garden) as the sole heir to her father's organization, especially with gram.
back to evading detection of the coast guard, there's a chance that the state police had marked olka and gram down after news spread out that their entire family had been killed. most of her family were (active) gangsters, and they definitely had a history of criminal activity in their records.
to the state, olka being born into the family was more than enough for her to be deemed as suspicious when a time like this came.
that's definitely something ostania (more specifically, the state police) is watching out for. ostania cared about reputation despite everyone's hands being soiled, and they definitely do not want for international and domestic newspapers to say how ostania's underworld is also making a name for themselves too. that could possibly ruin their feigned perfect image for the country.
that's probably why leonardo hapoon needed her and baby gram to be killed. because so long as a gretcher heir exists, leonardo's position as usurper is threatened in the underworld. the gretchers most definitely had a lot of supporters for them to reign the underworld for generations as shopkeeper aforementioned.
we know frankie also mentions in chapter 60 how "in the underworld, trust is all that matters." it seems that boss gretcher had done something favorable in the past for the shopkeeper in order to gain his trust. that's why shopkeeper tasked yor to protect olka aboard the lorelei as a favor in return for the late boss.
even after the passing of gram, shopkeeper still made that favor to protect the boss's only living kid (and only grandkid, maybe), living true to his words.
i definitely think shopkeeper is more than just a leader of this underground organization, though. it’s pretty obvious that he has connections, and he must be someone that’s exclusively high-status for garden to be considered an urban legend.
hopefully we get something between garden and the underworld in the future arc. that would be an interesting route to be explored if endō chooses to go down that path.

Hades!!
Ages and ages ago I was asked if I would ever do any animated/Disney villains and now finally, finally we are getting around to it. We’re starting with Hades…. For essentially no reason other than I was inspired by an idea for his hair… so tada!
Every once in a while Disney has a surprisingly historical inspiration clear in their character designs. A lot of the time it's not at all present, but sometimes, like Tiana's drop waist gowns or well... Hades, it's kind of what it "should" be. This sort of layered elbow-length tunic under a long draped cloak (himation) over one arm/shoulder is a ancient greek men's fashion. So I didn't change much... but I did decide to keep the mist/clouds at his feet, his disney color palette and his flame hair... with alterations. Keeping in mind of course that the Disney Hades is different from the actual mythological Hades in many ways...but we can save that for another day... I have been thinking of doing some mythos-inspired redesigns/fashion looks so we will see what happens ;D
