He doesn’t even know if Dionysus is about to ask a question: he just sees that the young god’s mouth is open, and takes his chance to REFUTE before the damn can burst. 

                  “Whatever it is, I am declining.”

anyway so a few notes re: my portrayal

i tend to see plouton as like... a very duty-focused guy. duty comes first and foremost, every time: he lives and dies (lol) by his focus on duty and a very strict rule of law. he believes in regimented existences, believes in things that are intentionally made to be cut and dry, to be either one thing or the other thing.

subsequently, plouton can come across as very extreme, but he isn’t an opinionated guy, and kind of keeps himself to himself. he rules hades because it is his lot in his life, and it is his duty. he takes it very seriously, and wouldn’t really trust anybody else to rule it - except persephone. 

as for the other gods, he has mixed opinions. of himself, poseidon and zeus, plouton is most certainly the quietest and the least likely to start an argument, but he is also the one who will be the most resolute and steadfast when a difference of opinion is had.

the other gods, he feels vaguely positive toward. he does not trust  dionysus in the least, but has a distinct soft spot for dio, for hephaestus, and for the others of the gods who are kinda pushed to the side. when plouton has a soft spot, it runs deep, too - he’s a very lonely guy that is kind of stiff and too formal, and knows how to socialise but often gets a bit too nervous and flustered to actually be social, despite the stern demeanour. he’s a deeply empathetic man, and once he cares for somebody, that really sticks.

greek mythology: hades, god of the dead and king of the underworld

In Greek mythology, Hades was regarded as the oldest son of Cronus and Rhea, although the last son regurgitated by his father. He and his brothers Zeus and Poseidon defeated their father’s generation of gods, the Titans, and claimed rulership over the cosmos. Hades received the underworld, Zeus the sky, and Poseidon the sea, with the solid earth—long the province of Gaia—available to all three concurrently. Hades was often portrayed with his three-headed guard dog Cerberus. 

HAIDES (Hades) was the king of the underworld and god of the dead. He presided over funeral rites and defended the right of the dead to due burial. Haides was also the god of the hidden wealth of the earth, from the fertile soil with nourished the seed-grain, to the mined wealth of gold, silver and other metals. 

Haides desired a bride and petitioned his brother Zeus to grant him one of his daughters. The god offered him Persephone, the daughter of Demeter. However, knowing that the goddess would resist the marriage, he assented to the forceful abduction of the girl. When Demeter learned of this, she was furious and caused a great dearth to fall upon the earth until her daughter was returned. Zeus was forced to concede lest mankind perish, and the girl was fetched forth from the underworld. However, since she had tasted of the pomegranate seed, she was forced to return to him for a portion of each year.

Haides was depicted as a dark-bearded, regal god. He was depicted as either Aidoneus, enthroned in the underworld, holding a bird-tipped sceptre, or as Plouton (Pluton), the giver of wealth, pouring fertility from a cornucopia. The Romans named him Dis, or Pluto, the Latin form of his Greek title Plouton, “the Lord of Riches.”

SYMBOL(S): Cerberus, cornucopia, sceptre, Cypress, Narcissus, Keys, Serpents. 

“We are three brothers born by Rheia to Kronos (Cronus), Zeus, and I [Poseidon], and the third is Aides [Haides] lord of the dead men. All was divided among us three ways, each given his domain. I [Poseidon] when the lots were shaken drew the grey sea to live in forever; Aides drew the lot of the mists and the darkness, and Zeus was allotted the wide sky, in the cloud and the bright air. But earth and high Olympos are common to all three.”

Homer, Iliad 15. 187 ff (trans. Lattimore) (Greek epic C8th B.C.)

headcanon:

plouton always texts in all-caps, perfect grammar, and ends everything with a full stop. he will not text in lowercase. he knows that it comes across like he’s shouting. he just thinks it’s more to-the-point.

an example:

Hermes, 18:12: im not coming tonight im so fkn busy Hades, 18:12: WITH WHAT? Hermes, 18:12: u know. fun shit. mischief. parties. mail. Hades, 18:13: YOU WILL BE HERE AT 8. Hermes, 18:14: bro come on ill come tomorrow Hades, 18:15: YOU WILL BE HERE AT 8.  Hermes, 18:15: fine
