#Lore olympus minthe

[the-weekly-nark]

Minthe will forever be the original!

The last pic is by @anoldplace, who noticed that Persephone dresses like Minthe. Their post inspired me to look for more parallels and wow there’s a lot.

Wrath and Envy (Persephone vs. Minthe)

I decided to do a little redraw of the scene where Persephone turns Minthe into mint. There are a few reasons I made her eyes and the flowers purple. Firstly, it felt like a better contrast to her pink color scheme than red. Secondly, red is also Hades’ secondary color, and he isn’t associated with wrath. Purple feels almost poisonous, and it’s less cliché for wrath. The flowers themselves are thistles, which are purple.

Every once in a while my lore Olympus art will make the rounds but I haven’t posted much of it on tumblr so here’s some more!

I have more but these are just the ones I had saved

Talking about Minthe...

I seriously don't like Minthe's color scheme, or well... The shade of red that was used for her.

The first thing that comes to mind when I see her is a firetruck, if I'm being honest.

In my opinion, she would have looked better in a darker shade of red, or a shade of mint green.

I looked her up because I need reference images for her redesign and that's when I realized I haven't touched Lore Olympus in a very long time-

My mind's reaction: ... Why does her coloration remind me of a fire truck?

And then there's the way RS treated her in Lore Olympus...

She's clearly meant to be a horrible person, sure, but some of her actions were justified.

Sure, she was abusive in a way, but Hades was also abusive to her. Her being abusive wasn't an excuse for Hades to cheat on her.

Rachel could have made Hades just break up with her, but NOPE! She decided that cheating was way better than communication.

Not only that, but RS clearly characterized Minthe to seem like she was the only toxic person in that relationship.

She deserved so much better than what she got in Lore Olympus.

This panel just makes me feel so bad for Minthe. It doesn't matter how RS characterized her, she deserved way better.

What’s your opinion on lore Olympus?

Hate it. I read it because i wanted more stories about Hades and Persephone. I will state some reasons for why i strongly dislike it.

hades is like over 3000 and Persephone was 19, I get that Persephone was a lot younger than Hades but RS could’ve made her older.

Demeter was shown to be a tragic character herself but is made a villain for absolutely no reason

Hades was mean to Demeter and expects her to be like ‘yo even though your a jackass and a groomer you can still marry my daughter’ like no brotha

Hades cheated on Minthe when they were official.

Persephone is not the only victim in LO and the creator made her a mary sue

Persephone doesn’t have a personality, she used to have one but it was thrown out the window.

Persephone was drawn as a toddler in many panels, yes short women exist, i am one myself, yet her features were also made childlike.

The story tells you that Persephone is this and that instead of showing it, for example, Aphrodite is beauty herself. Yet everyone compares her to Persephone and says she’s better

Persephone uses her status to Threaten others for no reason.

Hera is rude and mean just like minthe but gets praised because Zeus is a cheater and you’re supposed to like Hera and not Minthe although their personality wise the same

Persephone killed innocent people and the story wants you to forgive her because she is the main character. ( Demeter was shown to support Persephone but they still made het the bad guy)

The story Justifies things that shouldn’t be justified. Like grooming, emotional abuse, toxicity, cheating ect

Persephone expects to be an exception for everything because Hades gives in and gives her special treatment.

Those are a few reasons. Also i hate that they made apollo a bad guy because they needed a villain. Hate LO I personally think it’s garbage. Just the story. RS’ art was unique and you could see her passion in it. I mean things like background and color popping. Not characters, because they are almost the same

lore olympus but it’s good

"Everything will be okay"

Minthe, forgiving the Goddess that turned her into a mint, comes to love the Goddess, as the Goddess loves her.

(Minthe (return) design/color pallet as well as Persephone (fixed/set underworld) colors)

I'm back from an art block with yet another LO redesign. These are the only things I've been able to draw for a bit lmao

Minthe’s advice.

Minthe: so, let me put this straight...

Minthe: YOU want to hook up with Hades, despite the fact that he just got married. He has already rejected you TWICE. And being aware what his WIFE is capable of...

Minthe: so you came to ask ME for advice?!

Leuce: yes! Anything useful you could tell me to get to him? And not getting turned into a plant in the process?

Minthe: *unamused* ...listen kid, i don’t dislike you, so i’m going to give you probably the best advice you’ll ever hear...

Minthe: Give. Up.

Minthe: Hades is not like his brothers. I’ve dated him long enough to know he’s not intereseted in pointless affairs. He wanted a QUEEN, and as far as i hate to admidt it, he already found the right girl for that, and that’s Persephone.

Minthe: honestly, who made you think trying to seduce him was a good idea?

Leuce: well, my cousin Thetis said-

Minthe: Thetis... *sigh* of course...

Minthe Redesign

Lore information under the cut:

Minthe is old enough to remember the Titanomachy, but too young to have fought in it. She's about 1,500 years old.

Minthe herself is about 6' without high heels, but is anywhere from 6'2-6'6 in her heels, which makes her taller than Hades, who is 6'1.

Underworld natives & deep sea natives have darker skin. However, this is an adaptation to camouflage into their environment; their coloration has no benefits under the sun. Their eyes are quite photosensitive.

Underworld Natives have certain unsavory stereotypes about being greedy and callous because of their power in the corporate & luxury goods sector. They're a very wealthy people and the Underworld Standard of living is on par with Olympus, comparative to the relatively poor Mortal and Ocean realms.

‘Lore olympus is a feminist retelling’ until it comes to Minthe
