@megatraven

I was going to put this in your ask box bc I didn’t intend for it to be long….but it is and I have to put it as it’s own post lol.

So Do you remember the Hercules song fic of “Love Me I Beg” and breakdown for how it fits him? If not here it is again. When I made that post, I was thinking of doing a fic for Hercules and MC friendship and everything that I mentioned…but it’s not coming together properly. The only part I have done, which I thought would be nice to share, is a scene where MC and him are arguing about something he did or said. Like how he believes he himself is not as great as others bc he’s a demigod (even tho he doesn’t say it directly like that bc of pride and he has to be a Man and can’t be emotional) and MC will not stand for it. She may not like him very much, but she sees the person in him (though it’s difficult to) and she sees the insecurity and she hates how it contorts him and hurts him and others. His own feelings hurt others around him, whether he truly believes that or not or doesn’t even realize it.

They get into the argument of MC saying he shouldn’t hate on humans or monsters bc he sees them as different and ‘weak’, because he’s just been raised to see things that way and has this insecurity fueled by the others around him for millennia. He can change and be different and can alter his view and be better. But he keeps arguing on and on, and at some point I have the dialogue of MC getting fed up and pushed past her kindness saying,

“I don’t see a hero in you, all I see is a MONSTER!”

And then she leaves him with that slap in the face. Not physical…though I have considered it to happen to stand as a waking up call. But anyways it hits him hard mainly bc he’s all about taking auras and has taken monsters’ aura (and she knows about this. In this AU I see her being close friends with basically everyone so she knows the stories) but he understands she’s not talking about a monster, but a MONSTER MONSTER. An evil creature, and not a Hero he believes he is. At least, in my head Hercules sees himself as that because isn’t he Zeus’s hero? Like in literal terms like how Nyela was Aphrodite’s hero, isn’t Hercules Zeus’s hero? If not, then let’s pretend he is lol.

Anyways, it really hits him and makes him think of how he’s been raised. AND the other really hitting dialogue that makes him mad (but also really think™️ about things) is MC literally saying, “Your family has failed you,” bc she sees his opinions, learns more about the gods’ views from him, and begins to see the turmoil and problems he has and the harshness and ugliness of the gods and and see the awful ways he was raised and she can’t help but compare it to how her mother was so loving and accepting and encouraging and how his family SHOULD be like that and AGH. MC may not like him, but she wants to help. But she also is like “and I mean if you could give the auras back…” since she loves the monsters in my AU lol.

But, yeah, I just have these two pieces of dialogue (and a few others if you’d like to hear about them) and kinda ideas for them. That I need to write one day bc it’s one of the thoughts in my head constantly and I need to get it out😭.

And I also hope you enjoy your vacation Meg💙. You deserve it🥺💙💙💙💙.

And side note that’s not too important: Eros is the one MC vents to bc he’s a worm that hasn’t left my mind yet so rn he’s the romance for me. Those fics for him I mentioned I AM working on as well lmao.

The funniest thing about Alex’s route is the immediate dislike MC has for Hercules. This man literally walks into a room, says like two, admittedly rude, sentences and she hates him for life.

[megatraven]

Yo, I just finished season 3 of Alex's route and I love bit to death! I honestly liked it more than Season 2 which felt a bit directionless until the third act, but season 3 was almost perfect! Can't wait for season 4!

Also, I've been inspired to write a fic that's basically a route for Hercules since he's my favorite Greek Hero and they did my boy so dirty and the prospect of a romance between Herc and the reincarnation of the Goddess that ruined his life has enraptured me. And because I can't abandon Alex, it'd eventually turn into a poly relationship with them as well.

NICE!!!! alex's season three is a huge fave for me, did you get the passionate or thrilling end? 👀 because while both fuck SEVERELY. the season three thrilling end is a damned masterpiece with how chilling it is. i like it more than season 2 also, but i still honestly really love season 2. there's so much angst and i am the biggest angst fan on the planet >:3c i hope you enjoy season 4! it's short and cute :33

HELL YEAH!!!! @seduceme-lovestruck-thearcana and I have talked about hercules routes in the past (we are big multishippers in this fandom) so i always support a good non-canon romance >:) while i don't have any personal gripes with hercules' portrayal, i love the power of love (and the power of MC being Cute and Badass) changing the hearts of lovestruck's terrible men.

never considered an ot3 with him, mc, and alex before but now i am! my personal favorite ot3 involving him is with mc and hydra (which btw, hydra's season 1 gives some more background on why hercules is the way he is, if you're interested in that)

ANYWAYS. the angst of hercules being with the woman who is the reincarnation of the goddess that hates him is so fucking good. does he turn his back on his father's orders to bring her to olympus for awakening into hera? does he distance himself from the woman he loves because of something she can't help? when he looks at her knowing that Hera is beneath her skin, is he disgusted? can he pick out hera's features in her face? does he find some sort of love for hera through loving mc? THE POTENTIAL IS ENDLESS!!!!

Why does his pose look like he’s doing the “nyaa” cat boy thing?

[alex-cyprin]

Why are you here

[gracevoltagenerd]

So...when are we getting Hercules route? Sure he’s arrogant most of the time but something about him intrigue me. And this scene was hilarious.

[lovestruckvoltageconfessions]

Hercules is supposed to be Zeus' son, right? They look NOTHING alike! Persephone kinda looks like Zeus but his favorite child? Day & Night! Confessions do not reflect the views or personal opinions of the mods

Nireus’ aura is a white Hydrophis Elegans, also referred to as a Elegant Sea Snake.

[seduceme-lovestruck-thearcana]

I’m…thinking of a Hercules romance route, but also one where he and MC are just friends. I’m writing a fic for him finally and still deciding if it’s gonna be vague (as in if they’re dating or not) OR have MC dating Eros (bc he’s my obsession rn) and Hercules and her are just friends. I had this whole

And maybe I’ll have him realizing his feelings for her. Who knows.

     IN OTHER NEWS, I’M GOING TO KICK HERCULES’ ASS AND THROW HIM INTO THE GODDAMN OCEAN.

[megatraven]

these guys are exes ^

[asexual-thot]

Okay, the Martyrdom, for the greater good prompt got me thinking of Hydra and that led to me thinking of what it would be like if the Lovestruck games had bad endings.

And here we are. Hydra kills Hercules but not without cost ~~but the idea of Hydra surviving this is interesting to consider~~.

Sugarbandits I accidentally gave Hydra two right hands and left out his belt. I don’t even have time to correct it.

Days 6, Martyrdom, 9, split lip, 14, How to kill and immortal, and 26. Amputation

Prompt list.

Persephone Tarot Card Deck

Hello everyone!  So for as long as I can remember, I’ve been obsessed with Persephone and the mythology surrounding her.  I would like to write stories about her someday, but that’s not what I’m here to talk about.  Right now I’m planning a different project, which you can probably discern from the title of the post.  I would like to make a tarot deck (Major and Minor Arcana) using Persephones from different stories (movies, video games, shows, comics, ect).

I will be using a wide variety of adaptations and interpretations both popular and obscure, from ones I love a lot, to ones I’m indifferent or don’t care too much for, to ones I’ve only heard of (I’ll be sure to read/watch/play the thing before making the card so I can properly plan and decide).  I was even planning on doing small write-ups in the description to compare each interpretation to each other and the original myth and give my personal opinion on different aspects (design, personality, agency, relationship with Hades/Demeter/others, ect)

I already have some interpretations picked, like Lore Olympus, Assassin’s Creed, Hadestown, The Goddess of Spring Silly Symphonies short, both Marvel and DC’s versions, the Percy Jackson movie, and others!  But since I’m only one person and there’s only so much research I can do to try and fill out the deck (I have it mostly filled but there are still open slots), I thought I’d reach out to the Tumblr community and ask you all if you have any stories with Persephone in them that you could recommend? Depending on the amount of suggestions I get, I can’t guarantee I’ll add all suggestions, but I’d really appreciate any help people could offer ^_^ 

I will say that I’m trying to stick with media that has a clear visual for Persephone, like comics, games, or shows.  So I probably won’t do books that only have texts descriptions (with admittedly a couple of exceptions on my part), so that’s something to keep in mind for suggestions.

I can add a list of what I have so far below the cut:
