7 Anti LO Asks

1. Do you know what really gets my blood boiling about this comic? Persephone and Demeter's relationship.

In the myths, Demeter and Persephone loved each other more than anything. Their reunion is so important - it marked the coming of spring and growth. A whole cult was dedicated to this for crying out loud. Yes, the myths were far from perfect, but the Persephone and Demeter myth showed the strength of a loving mother-daughter relationship with Demeter searching endlessly to find her child that was ripped away and had her innocence forcibly taken.

Now, RS is not the only author to make Demeter this over-bearing mother type in order to put more positivity onto the Hades-Persephone relationship. However, RS takes this trend to a whole new level - to the point where I would even consider it misogyny.

How is it, she takes this beautiful mother-daughter relationship and makes it out to be an abusive and controlling one, and then takes the Hades-Persephone relationship from a forceful one to a loving, perfect relationship with no problems? How is it ok to ruin one relationship to elevate another?

I understand that many versions of the myth try to downplay Hades' actions, and even make it so Persephone actually falls in love with him and there is no rape. But it doesn't change that this relationship was problematic, and meant to represent the loss of innocence.

Then fans have the gall to claim this comic is feminist and then claim on top of that that Demeter and Persephone's relationship was the same in the myth? These fans clearly don't know the myths, and neither does RS.

Making Hades a good person is fine. Changing it up a bit to make Persephone's loss of innocence something else is also fine. But ruining Demeter and Persephone's relationship? Especially when Persephone has to spend half the year with her? So horrible.

2. im sorry, but rachel cant introduce KRONOS coming back and then dropping it for several episodes to focus on a stake-less trail and persephone not knowing what lingerie to seduce hades in. like thats too much of an earth shaking development and huge stake plot point to just ignore for months to focus instead on something as minor as hxp's relationship, which only points out a huge flaw: why is hxp's relationship so minor in this? isnt the whole point supposed to be about them?

3. I think LO completely dropped the ball over Hades’ characterization.

From the first ep I thought ok, this is good, we have some bones to see he’s not that lucky in love and is just tired and lonely, and while ignoring the creepy actions towards Persephone, I thought ok, Artemis hates him, Hestia hates, even Ares hates him, maybe once Persephone finally sees the underworld and probably gets to know him it’ll be a clever twist and they’ll be proven wrong. The underworld will turn out to be fair and just, the citizens will love Hades, he’ll be revealed to be a good leader and king and not like his brothers, it’ll be like everyone saying Hades of myth isn’t actually that bad, and it’ll help reinforce why this sweet and bubbly Persephone wants him, she sees the real him, not the mean rumors and assumptions, this is perfect.

And then it just didn’t happen. The exact opposite happened, actually.

We’re shown the LO underworld is cruel and unjust, where the poor dead are forced into slavery and Hades created a harsh class divide with him and him only on top, the citizens hate him, the underworld gods don’t trust him and openly seem ok if he’s taken out of power, he’s not a good leader and king and doesn’t even want the job yet keeps it for his own ego and grip of power m, and on top of it all he is just like his brothers, if not worse. He loves to get violent over any little slight against him, he hoards wealth and resources to enrich himself while his citizens starve and struggle to survive, he’s corrupt, he controls all the media and laws to bend to his will, sleeps with his brothers wife for centuries behind his back while claiming to be holier than thou, he has sex with his secretaries who are made dependent on him for any way to survive, and now he lusts after his barely legal intern who is also now dependent on him for her way to survive, and that’s only what I remember off the top of my head.

LO perfectly set up to prove Hades isn’t the devil or the false pop culture assumption that he’s evil and to show some actual facts from myth, and yet Rachel only ended up reinforcing exactly that and even making him even worse with her made up ideas, all while thinking having Persephone ignore or excuse it somehow makes it not bad or even a good thing. It’s honestly kind of impressive just how bad of writing that actually is.

4. Chapter 172 is not that interesting. It’s setup had me excited to see Hephaestus and Hera and learning more about echo, but it’s cut so short. Because again the story can’t leave HXP out for 2 seconds.

I can also see why Zeus is gonna go insane.

5. i agree w/ other anon. LO should have pulled a PJO or a BoZ and just made up OCs and have them interact with the gods than whatever Rachel thinks shes doing, which is lying she's being accurate and faithful while completely changing all of it, removing what is needed, and adding what isnt so that it lines up with no actual myth besides like, various 50 shades fanfic she read in 2015 and some popular tumblr text posts.

6 . the animation studio behind blood of zeus literally can only draw one face for the men and one face for the women and they were still able to make the gods all look distinct and hot while LO can't even bother to use more than 6 colors and can only have the women look as tiny as possible with the biggest boobs while the men are all just lego men.

7. ////FP SPOILERS////

Okay so like I stopped reading LO way back before season 1 ended, and a majority of my knowledge of the series comes from what I read here on your blog which is enough for me lol and I decided to read the latest 5 chapters just to see what's up (on zahard. I refuse to give the actual series any views)

And I just. Could not take the whole scene with Daphne running from Apollo seriously? The anatomy and art inconsistency was so distracting that i genuinely could not find it serious. Even when Thanatos discovers her hibernated body I couldn't take it seriously because of how she looked?

And when Hades had that call (??? Was it a call? Or his inner dialogue? I couldn't really tell ngl) with Zeus and said he's causing Persephone unnecessary distress, and that she didn't pose any threat. B!tch??? She killed a ton of mortals??? She has no control over her powers???? She's literally a fugitive for the aforementioned things??? She apparently woke Kronos up? (Idk if anyone knows about that, again my knowledge only spans to whatever I read here) Hello????

And I have a lot to say about the chapters starting the trial but I'll only mention one thing; Hades saying "I don't think blindly supporting my little brother would be doing him any favours (as a ruler)" had me cackling. This is coming from a guy blindly supporting a girl he's literally only known for a few weeks, who's like what, only recently turned 20? Sit tf down Hades you're not cool, you creepy ass overgrown smurf.

Overall I still hate this series lmao. Regarding art though I feel like I wouldn't be so miffed about the anatomy much if the character designs were consistent and the story was compelling. They literally change hairstyles and body types frame by frame, and it's distracting.

The timeline from what I read here is laughable. 4 years in publication with almost 200 chapters and you're telling me only like a month has passed canonically. That's wild and such poor writing.

And as someone who literally will sympathise with any lead character pretty quickly, the story makes me hate them. It makes me want to root against them. I also hate the fact this trash is somehow top ranked on webtoons when so many other stories are far better then it.

Anyway, many thanks to this blog for existing and allowing me to dump so much text here to vent out my hate for this series lmao. You the mvp fam, hope you're having a good day 🥂🥂🥂

Helloo pls don't judge me but I need a yandere Ai for my life sjhshs so can I request the whole alphabet for him? Thanks luv you and keep it up

BABE I DONT JUDGE OKAY I LOVE YOU AND I TRIED MY BEST AT THIS (I am not the best at his character ngl ) ❤❤❤ hope you're doing well

AI MIKAZE YANDERE ALPHABET

Affection: How do they show their love and affection? How intense would it get?

He's very… monotone in his love. He rarely says it verbally and usually turns to soft touches. Mainly because hes still unsure himself oh how this is supposed to work but by God dont think that's a weakness. His grip does tend to tighten.

Blood: How messy are they willing to get when it comes to their darling?

Much like Masato, he ruins their life without taking it. Im talking about exploiting their deepest darkest secrets, absolutely humiliating them in front of everyone that knows them hes like anonymous, but worse.

Cruelty: How would they treat their darling once abducted? Would they mock them?

He doesnt mock them but he studies them which may or may not be worse. To have someone watch you break down and lose it, completely emotionless; analyzing you as your form becomes weaker and weaker is so much worse than a punch to the face.

Darling: Aside from abduction, would they do anything against their darling’s will?

Eh. He puts them in uncomfortable situations to study their reaction. It can go from anywhere to calling a ~bigger~ person pregnant looking, to going on the dark web and watching someone commit cannibalism.

Exposed: How much of their heart do they bare to their darling? How vulnerable are they when it comes to their darling?

He unknowingly entrusts then with a lot of it mainly because he wants his darling to explain to him why he's feeling this way. Why his heart aches to be with them under any circumstances.

Fight: How would they feel if their darling fought back?

He'd have a very rationally laid out answer for this type of reaction. May it be the lack of freedom of constant staring of his; its okay. He forgives them.

Game: Is this a game to them? How much would they enjoy watching their darling try to escape?

This is not a game but rather a sick science experiment. Go ahead, try to escape, but there's literal traps all around the house and without his helping hand to guide them past them, theyre are sure to hurt themselves.

Hell: What would be their darling’s worst experience with them?

As mentioned above, he has literal traps around the house. From tripping over invisible string to being magnet cuffed to the wall. Their worst experience, however, has to have been when they found a "secret" door, (which wasn't actually there, he put it there) and opened it only to have water pour on them and getting electrocuted. Now if you didnt know, water and electricity dont mix. Especially not on a human.

Ideals: What kind of future do they have in mind for/with their darling?

He wants to keep them with him of course. But more as a pet. A science experiment that bends to his every will.

Jealousy: Do they get jealous? Do they lash out or find a way to cope?

He doesnt get jealous. He gets deadly. If someone tried to touch his darling or "save" them, he would W R E C K them in the worst way possible. Rationally, of course. All his steps are calculated and they would never catch him.

Kisses: How do they act around or with their darling?

He acts relatively normal. Emotionless, stoic, smart. But he loves to just, well, love them. He likes to curl up against them or put them in his lap and run his fingers through their hair, whispering sweet words that they knew, ultimately, meant nothing.

Love letters: How would they go about courting or approaching their darling?

Its a curiosity game. He's curious about them and they try to find out why he's the way he is. Why so blank? So monotone? It's quite fun to watch them figure him out while he already several files on them.

Mask: Are their true colors drastically different from the way they act around everyone else?

No. Much like he told Syo and Natsuki, theyre a test subject and he made that very clear from the beginning on, to everyone.

Naughty: How would they punish their darling?

Traps, testing the limits of the human body, you know? Hypothermia? How long til it kicks in? Could you withstand the boiling point of skin if he just gradually turns up the heat? Of course hed never kill you. Just… observe the process.

Oppression: How many rights would they take away from their darling?

They dont have any rights outside of him. They rely on him for everything from clothing to food and water, to walks in the park. Everything is determined and up to him.

Patience: How patient are they with their darling?

He actually has a decent amount of patience because, again. Experiment. He wants to know why they're feeling this way and makes them talk about every last out and episode.

Quit: If their darling dies, leaves, or successfully escapes, would they ever be able to move on?

Quite honestly, that depends on the natural personality of his darling. If they're kind and compassionate, almost like a mother, he would feel all kinds of sad emotions, maybe even overheat and "die". If they're constantly defiant and just annoying to deal with one way or another, he can find himself a new darling.

Regret: Would they ever feel guilty about abducting their darling? Would they ever let their darling go?

No. He might have felt a ping of guilt once or twice but if his darling didn't catch that, they missed all their opportunity.

Stigma: What brought about this side of them (childhood, curiosity, etc)?

Mainly the confusion about emotions in general. No one told him that feeling this strong toward someone was not, well, normal, but toxic. Suffocating. Deadly. Everyone just told him he was in love. Who knew love could be so killer?

Tears: How do they feel about seeing their darling scream, cry, and/or isolate themselves?

Indifferent. He'd take comfort them to get information out of them. Some times though he actually does hurt for them, mainly if it wasnt his fault though. Which is rarely the case.

Unique: Would they do anything different from the classic yandere?

This is literally an experiment to him. Its not true obsession, but a kid who takes it way too far, ya know?

Vice: What weakness can their darling exploit in order to escape?

Since he is very confused about his emotions, as mentioned above, if you catch him in a vulnerable state and kind of step on his emotions a bit, you might be able to distract him. Emphasis on might.

Wit’s end: Would they ever hurt their darling?

Oh yes, mainly to see their reactions and it's not as extreme as others. He would never beat them, cut them, or feed them to the wolves. Just… testing their limits in other ways.

Xoanon: How much would they revere or worship their darling? To what length would they go to win their darling over?

Its so bittersweet that after every bad thing, he holds his darling tight and tells them how proud he is of them, how much he "LOVES" them, knowing damn well that he has no clue what love is and this is just unhealthy behavior.

Yearn: How long do they pine after their darling before they snap?

He calls it observing rather than pining lol but he can go on for ages or at least until his darling shows interest in him, too. Thats when he strikes.

Zenith: Would they ever break their darling?

Yes and hes in the process of that. Taking away their rights is only the first step of forming an obedient pet .

harry potter x slytherin!reader

warnings: a mother’s death

word count: 2375

a/n: honestly this took 5ever to write and im so sorry but also ngl i had small inspo and motivation to write since i was sick for a week and have been catching up w school. i hope you like it though!

You could feel the chill of the dungeon floor rise through your shoes and make your toes cold. You loved being a Slytherin, however you could stand a more ideal house location.

Draco obviously didn’t mind, you noted while you entered the commons with your close friend at your side. He inhaled deeply, a large grin on his face. “Can you smell that? That’s the smell of justice.” He said, satisfied. You set your books down nearby and began fidgeting. “What do you mean?” You asked. “Now that Umbridge is in charge of everything, I’m sure Potter won’t be getting away with anymore of his nonsense.” He said bitterly and you scratched the back of your neck. A week ago, there were about twenty plus students who all met in the room of requirement. Hermione founded the group and Harry, Draco’s ‘sworn enemy’. To you it was all frankly rubbish.

You personally liked Harry, but would be damned to ever say anything like it out loud. You’d pretty much be banned from the Slytherin house.

So you kept quiet, adjusted your tie and nodded along with whatever Draco said. It paid to have connections and you couldn’t lose your connection to Draco.

Under any circumstances.

Days grew longer under Umbridge’s reign and sometimes you’d be on your way to the Room of Requirement when you’d see children walking down the halls, leaving detention. They were rubbing their hands, holding them close to their heart and you would wince.

Umbridge had a cursed pen that whatever you wrote would appear and etch scars into your skin. It make your skin hurt just by seeing the aftermath and your heart dropped at the thought of Umbridge catching you and your shenanigans with Harry.

Arriving at the room with everyone else, roll was taken and Harry would introduce what you were all learning today.

You, from the looks of it, were the only Slytherin in the army and it made you feel small. You tried to ignore the feeling as Harry made his way to the center of the room.

“Today we will be learning to cast a patronus.”

He said simply and he demonstrated. The spell was one you’d studied before and expected it to be a fairly easy task.

Mentally preparing yourself, you readied your wand trying to ignore watching eyes around you.

Your first two attempts at casting the charm there was no luck whatsoever. You felt someone come up behind you and jumped.

“Harry.” You breathed, recovering from the scare.

“Sorry.” He apologized and you smiled. “I think it’s really brave of you to be here. With Draco and all.” He spoke and you noticed a small hint of a blush on his cheeks.

When you only smiled and nodded as a thank you, he cleared his throat. “Would you like some help casting the spell?” He asked and you nodded shyly.

He smiled. “Think of your happiest memory. Let the image in your brain flood you with emotion. Good emotion. And feel that while casting.”

He advised and you nodded.

You thought back to a childhood you knew long ago. Your mother and you playing in the front yard. She was happy. You were happier.

“Expecto Patronum.” You said firmly but quietly and blue formed out of your wand.

“That’s brilliant! Keep focus!” Harry encouraged, which only made the happy feeling in your heart grow.

A figure started to form from the color and it finally took full shape. A thestral.

The patronus lasted maybe less than three seconds, but you dropped your wand. That was not a creature you expected to see.

“It’s time to go, she’s gone now.” Your father harshly pulled on your sleeve. You were eleven.

“No! She’s not gone! How dare you say that about her!” You cried. It was raining and mud was beginning to soak the both of your feet.

“She’s gone now, Y/N. It’s time.”

Your father was dragging you away from your mother's grave. For the next year he acted like she never even existed. Like her death was an event to walk over. She was buried outside of a family home now untouched due to historical reasons, it had been there so long. The ominous trees that surrounded the cabin. The things lurking in the trees.

You saw them. Boney like creatures that looked like they’d been sick for days. When you’d mention them to your father he’d tell you they were mythical and only few people saw them.

People who saw death saw them.

You could never understand why your father didn’t see them. He had seen your mother. And that was ‘death’ enough. Once you were old enough, however, you learned he never saw because he never wanted to believe she was truly gone, much like you at a younger age. He was a closed off man and he shut himself off from the wizarding world and all it had to offer, only opening himself back up on your twelfth birthday when your letter from Hogwarts came.

From the day your mother died to now, these creatures, these Thestrals, followed you around like shadows. You associated them with horrible things and were absolutely terrified when it appeared.

Your flashback was soon over and you noticed the stares everyone was giving you. Quickly, you picked up your wand and excused yourself with tears brimming your eyes.

You cried for an hour before Harry found you in one of the abandoned girls bathrooms on the sixth floor.

“Is everything alright?” He asked. You sniffed and nodded.

“Yes of course, I’m sorry-“

“I’m sorry if I offended you. And I’m sorry for making you cast that spell.” Harry quickly apologized.

You looked at him with both admiration and confusion. “Harry, why are you sorry? You were helping me improve and it’s my fault I left. Thestrals are just associated with a bad memory and was unexpected.” You explained.

He joined you, leaning against the sink.

“Would you like to talk about it?” He offered and you shrugged. “Not much to talk about. My mom died when I was eleven and since that day I’ve been seeing the boney creatures everywhere. Going to this school has given me a break but when I head home for Christmas I’m sure I’ll see them again, that’s all.”

Harry turned to you. “I’m so sorry about your mum.” He apologized and you waved him off. “You’ve been through worse so it’s all right.” You laughed, wiping a tear from your own eye. You felt a hand on your shoulder.

“I’m serious, Y/N, I truly am sorry. I know what it’s like and you know that. But if it’s any condolence at all, Thestrals are meant to be creatures of happiness. They look dreadful but they’re also misunderstood. They are quite gentle and can tell friend from foe. If you’re foe, they’ll attack and from what I’ve heard, these Thestrals where you live see you as friend.” Harry spoke and you looked away from him, giving it thought.

“Maybe I don’t have to be afraid.” You muttered.

“Not anymore.” Harry whispered and you looked at him. You noticed how small of space there was between you.

You felt Harry’s hand on your arm and noted he hadn’t taken it away. It sent sparks through you.

You were almost going to lean in closer when Umbridge’s shrill voice sounded throughout the halls, causing the two of you to jump.

“All students should be in their respective house locations in five minutes. Anyone out after curfew will receive immediate detention.”

You looked at Harry and he looked back.

“I should. . .” He said awkwardly and you nodded. “Yeah, me too.” You said and you both walked out of the bathroom door and parted at the staircase.

Today left your head spinning and while you were lying awake in your dorm bed, you couldn’t help but touch the space on your arm. If Draco knew you had a crush on Harry Potter. . .

You had practice for O.W.L.S today and you were not looking forward to it. In the recent weeks, the weeks following your patronus incident, Harry had been avoiding you. At first you thought it was involuntary, but when it came time for meeting in the Room, he never made eye contact and when he did he looked away. Maybe he thinks I’m too odd now. You thought to yourself. It began to make you angry. You had shared a very personal part of your life with him and now he was ignoring you. Without any explanation at all. You were even more disappointed when you noticed the redhead and two brunettes at the front of your classroom. Even still, you took your seat, not breaking eye contact with the back of Harry’s head. When Umbridge decided it was time to begin, she was serious. There would be no talking, no communication of any sort, looking at one another, poking prodding or fooling about and no cheating. You all agreed and your practice session began. Barely twenty minutes later you heard snickers from the front of the class. Your stomach sank when you noticed it was Ron and Harry. You figured they were both idiots but you thought they were smarter than this. Umbridge was quick to act.

“Mr. Potter and Mr. Weasley. I thought we all agreed not to speak or communicate and here I see the two of you laughing away. I assume the two of you found something amusing amongst yourself. Detention. B-”

“It was me.” You spoke up. Everyone’s head turned to you. You were angry at Harry, sure, but you still cared about him a lot more than you gave yourself credit for and you couldn’t help but stand up and protect him when you saw fit.

“What?” Her shrill voice asked. “It was me. I made them laugh.” You announced and Umbridge turned her body to you. “And how so?” She inquired and Harry looked ready to jump out of his seat to stop Umbridge as she made her way over to you. By the time she got to you, you already had something in mind. “Easy. I transformed your appearance about six times in the past twenty appearance. You look fantastic with an elephant trunk, by the way.” You said as loudly, and as proudly, as you could without fear. Her face grew red and her high pitched voice nearly shrieked. “Detention!”

You tapped your foot anxiously while the sound of kittens surrounded your ears. You thought that with the pink and comfort-y air about the room you’d be calm. But in reality, you would have been more calm if you were being sent off to Azkaban.

“Miss Y/N. I need you to write something for me.” You cringed. With her special quill. You’d heard the stories and absolutely none of them were pretty. You’d seen the damage.

“Can’t I just scrub floors?” You tried, bravely but to no avail. Her hand came down on the desk with a loud smack.

“Absolutely not. You will write ‘I must respect my superiors.’ with my quill. You will write it until you understand it.”

You looked up to the frog-faced woman, your mouth in a tight line, preparing to endure more than just an hour in detention. Your hands burned. They hurt. They were cut and scraped and somewhat bruised in small places.

Returning to class was nothing easy.

You had potions.

Your lab partner was Neville and he had agreed to not touch anything. Which in any other case would have been helpful. But today it was not. You saw Harry across the room. You took a beating for him and he had the nerve to ignore you still. You managed the most angry look you could muster when he looked back at you.

When class started you felt useless. You would try to pick up utensils and bottles alike but they would either fall or you couldn’t get them two inches above the table. Your hand was burning so badly to the point it was effecting your school work. You didn’t bother waiting for Snape to come by and look at your unfinished work. Lucky for you, you were a Slytherin. Which meant Snape favored you.

He allowed you to be excused and you almost ran out of the room, failing to not catch Harry’s attention. It wasn’t until after class when Harry joined you in the bathroom. He found you curled up in one of the stalls, sobbing.

When you noticed his presence you couldn't help but sneer and feel your heart skip all at once. His blue eyes were so damn hard to get out of your head. “What do you want, Potter?” You sneered and he looked sorry. “I know you’re mad but I’m here to help.” “And what? Run away again?” You asked, bitterly, going to wipe your nose. “I know i've been ignoring you and I’m sorry. It’s just. . . I have been feeling things for you I know Draco would not be fond of.”

“Well believe me, as of late I haven’t told Draco much.” You laughed. Keeping the DA a secret from your best friend had been extremely hard. And now you were hiding feelings from him.

“I have feelings for you. And I’m unsure of how to deal with them.” Harry fessed and your heart stopped. He what?

“Harry. Don't play around.”

“I'm not. I'm sorry for avoiding you. I know the burns sting. Look, I have my own.” He showed his hands which had scars on them. “It goes away after a day and can be treated with a small healing spell.” He offered, taking your hand in his gently.

“I know I’ve been avoiding you and I regret it greatly. I want something with you and if you’re willing. . . Well, I hope you want that too.” He said quietly and you smiled. He had been ignoring you due to mixed feelings. Your heart felt on fire. You smiled and nodded.

That night, you managed to sneak into the Gryffindor boys dorm and spend the night having Harry take care of you. It was quite the beginning of a interesting relationship.

i hope you liked it! @lupinlys
