I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW ABOUT THE HADES AND PERSEPHONE ANGEL AND DAVID POST HASTE PLEASE AND THANK YOU
-Lexi Sun ☀️
LEXIII IM SO GLAD THAT YOU ASKED ABOUT THIS ONE
(Lexi is talking about this post)
SO OKAY HERE'S THE THING I was talking about this in the Skyside server one day because I assigned David the Hades Cabin while working on the cabin matches. I don't have much written for this right now, but the general premise is (hold on a sec I'm gonna copy/paste rq)
"using that one version of the myth where Persephone wants to leave, and Hades was actually in love with her and did not kidnap her (in Persephone's eyes). David who fell in love with Angel but didn't want to say anything because he didn't want to scare them off. Angel who eventually was alone with him and was talking about how they didn't want to be home anymore. David offers for them to stay with him instead, Angel agrees, havoc being wreaked."
I need to brush up on my Hades/Persephone myth, because I'm a Classics student and I'm obsessed with making sure I get the characterizations/plot down without defaulting to the typical characterizations (their characterizations will change once I replace them with David/Angel anyway, but still), as well as seeing what version I want to focus on adapting. There is such nuance that can be found in those myths and I really wanna be able to pick up on one and work that into this fic.
Anyway yeah ^^ I'm super excited for this actually (again, classics and drama double major, adaptations of myths is my thing) and I hope that if I do it I want to make sure that I do it justice and that people enjoy it :)
