This honestly plays well with my belief that Hades and Hephaestus would be friends, and when Aglaia marries Hephaestus, they all become great friends.

Nonnus’ Dionysiaca 6.14

From all the bounteous mother (Deo) shrank, but specially she feared Hephaistos to be her daughter’s lame bedfellow.

Another instance of Hephaestus catching strays from his own family 😭 I would be more interested in Demeter-Persephone retellings if they addressed issues like these that are from the source material instead of inventing awful ways of Demeter being a bad mother to Persephone.

Like what about a plotline where Persephone shows a favoritism (friendship) towards Hephaestus out of all her suitors and Demeter disapproves of it because she’ll be a wife of a disabled lame god? And Persephone, being one to literally be childhood friends with everyone and sees good in everyone disagrees with that notion?

Anyways, Hephaestus and Persephone are friends agenda ✊

Leroux!Erik’s rants about being a corpse and being dead are severe dissociation as a result of a lifetime of being dehumanized, abused, and deprived of any love, touch, or acceptance. Humans are social animals who can and have died purely as a result of isolation and emotional neglect. No wonder Erik would feel dead after decades of being denied a basic need of life and being seen as only “the living corpse”. He is not dead or supernatural, he is just a man born with odd deformities who has lived a terrible, loveless life and his brain has cracked as I believe anyone’s would if they were him.

And when he emphasizes that Christine is alive, his living bride, and didn’t die when she kissed him - it’s because she feels more real and more human to him than himself, and she treats him like a human which makes him feel almost alive again or very possibly for the first time. This was a very superstitious time when the story takes place so it makes sense if Erik feels dead, he would believe Christine would die from kissing ‘a corpse’. When she doesn’t, it breaks his belief and he realizes he’s not dead. Because love is the essence of life, if she loves him and he loves her then he must be a person. And he’s ready to die then because he has finally received the greatest joy life and humankind has to offer - love.

How could anyone read this and NOT notice the parental undertones with how Hephaestus’s automatons needed to be taught and raised by the gods and didn’t come out of the woodwork understanding everything? That Hephaestus is like a fatherly figure to them and they support him the way adult children support their elderly parents? How can anyone read this and think Hephaestus would have a relationship with one of his automatons?

Mythological OTPs → Hades and Persephone

…a chasm opened in the earth and out of it coal-black horses sprang, drawing a chariot and driven by one who had a look of dark splendor, majestic and beautiful and terrible. He caught her to him and held her close. The next moment she was being borne away from the radiance of earth in springtime to the world of the dead by the king who rules it.

“You’re trained in triage, right?” Remus started. He kept his eyes on the opposite wall. “And how, when disasters happen, there are some people you shouldn’t try to save. Some people you can’t save?” She nodded, slowly. “I’m one of those people. The ones you shouldn’t try and save.”

“I’m not trying to save you, Remus. I’m trying to love you.”
