#princess persephone

[artoflumeria]

A sxf greek myth AU in which:

Yor is Hades (because assassin = goddess of death)

Twilight is Persephone (because I want to lol)

Anya is a young nymph that follows Perselight? Twiphone??? around calling him Papa. By now, he has already given up telling her that he isn't, in fact, her Papa.

Tbh, the more I think about this, the less sense it makes lol

But I thought they would look cute, so I had to draw them anyways

I've hit the nail on the head as to why Slay The Princess is so appealing to me and it's because the Shifting Mound is exactly how I interpret Persephone to be like

She's life. She's death. She's rebirth. She's growth. She's loving and kind. She's terrifying and unyielding. Her arrival means new life. Her very name means "bringer of destruction." She's the goddess of spring and the queen of the dead. Her very nature is contradiction.

And she loves her spooky husband like crazy

I haven't decided on anything in my life yet, except for the type of women.

Luxurious and domineering witch who can kill you

And a cute little cinnamon bun(who could possibly kill you too)

Just 'Angrboda/Sigyn style' (but I'm not Loki)

My ideal pairing: Angrboda/Sigyn, Maleficent/Aurora, Alys/Helaena, Yennefer/Ciri

Guillermo Del Toro was inspired by Ico and Shadow of the Colossus when he made El Laberinto del Fauno (Pan's Labyrinth).

It’s well known that Guillermo Del Toro is a huge fan of Ico and Shadow of the Colossus. The second game came out around the time filming of Pan’s Labyrinth was concluding, but I think it’s quite likely that del Toro would have watched trailers for it. His film is often described as a fairy tale for adults, and it occurred to me how well that describes Ico. Shadow of the Colossus is more like a Greek myth. The first shot of the movie shows Princess Moanna leaving her kingdom through ruins that are very reminiscent of the castle in Ico. Ofelia speaks to the faun in a place with a spiral staircase that's reminiscent of where Yorda is suspended in her cage. Both we and Ofelia are told that she is in fact Princess Moanna, Moanna's soul having returned in her body. When she finally escapes her fascist captor, she glows like Yorda and is reunited with her family as the princess in an afterlife kingdom.

I wrote a post here about Le Roi et l’Oiseau (The King and the Mockingbird) as a source of inspiration for Fumito Ueda. It's an adaptation of Hans Christian Andersen's The Shepherdess and the Chimney Sweep, which features a faun/satyr, the same creature with the hind legs of a goat and horns (like Ico) that we see in Pan’s Labyrinth. The ending music, which is also the lullaby that Mercedes hums to Ofelia, sounds a bit like ‘La Bergere et le Ramoneur’ from The King and the Mockingbird which I have previously suggested could be an inspiration for 'Castle in the Mist'.

The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time - Ofelia is guided by fairies. Two fairies are effectively ‘used up’, saving her from being killed. The Great Deku tree. The monster sitting at the table looks like a ReDead and when he places his eyes into his hands, it reminded me of Bongo Bongo, the Shadow Temple boss.

Various movie influences - A girl rescuing her baby brother in a labyrinth is like Labyrinth. Doors created by drawing an outline with chalk is from Beetlejuice. Ofelia wears a pair of red shoes like Dorothy in The Wizard of Oz. Alice in Wonderland.

Pan's Labyrinth feels very like a video game and as much like a Greek myth as like a fairy tale. It's something I feel I should have thought of before, how much the quests you go on in action-adventure and RPG games are like those in classical mythology. Think of how Ofelia has to complete three tasks, face three monsters and is rewarded with special items. Her first task, for example, is to get three stones into the mouth of a giant toad for which she is rewarded with a special key. It's amazing how Guillermo del Toro manages to thread this fantasy world together with a real world situation of Ofelia being held captive by a sadistic military officer in Franco's Spain.
