₊˚⊹♡ PERSEPHONE CABIN HEADCANONS goddess of springtime and vegetation, queen of the underworld

for my fave prettiest daughter of persephone @maybxlle 😚 you enabled me so i have to make this a whole thing. also lmk if anyone wants more of these!!!!! i have many thoughts

okay so similar to how hades kids are either death-oriented (nico) or riches oriented (hazel), i feel like persephone's kids can lean more towards either her goddess of springtime title or her queen of the underworld title

however, they all still have plant girl energy/powers?? if that makes sense (saying plant girl as a neutral term here btw idk how else to describe it LOL) since queen of the underworld isn't a title she got until she married hades!! its just more prominent in some than others

i feel like they're def prone to seasonal depression 😣 most will get it during the colder months because thats when persephone goes back to the underworld, but there can be outliers ofc! this is a very random comparison but i like to think of them like seasonal fruits... there's a season where they thrive and a season when they don't!!

in general, they've all got a bit of an edge to them. not all of them are aware of this. you can always tell the children of persephone and demeter apart because of it though

big dark humour enthusiasts, the type to show their love via light punches and teasing 🤔 they are also emotionally intuitive so they'll def know when they've crossed the line with this

however they're SO sweet once you get to know them. like how a pomegranate has a rough, hard to open outside and very sweet fruit on the outside <3 they're like the "looks like they could kill you, is a cinnamon roll" audio LOL

some of them have rbfs and most of them have very youthful appearances

"darker" plants intrigue them... like poisonous plants and (ethical) selective breeding n whatever!! just like their mother they're VERY curious about their powers and the world around them so if you want a weird or uncommon plants i'd def go to them instead of cabin 4

speaking of curiosity, that's one of the most common fatal flaws for children of persephone, just like how persephone got stuck in the underworld by letting curiosity get the better of her and having some of the pomegranate (this will be really embarrassing if im remembering the myth wrong LOL however i do think there are versions of the myths where persephone goes to the underworld initially on her own so my point still stands)

i like to think they're immune to most poisons/poisons don't affect them as much. dont have much of a reasoning for this though its just a vibe

they also like to explore plants with healing abilities and have their own little healing poisons and potions. not a lot of people know of this though, they're pretty secretive

also they're the type of person where you'll be friends with them for YEARS and then discover some major part of their life you had no clue about. they don't say anything unless they deem it necessary 😭

they of course have chlorokinesis (power to control plants) & that power is strongest during the spring since thats persephone prime time

a few of the more "queen of the underworld"-oriented ones can shadow travel naturally, however their shadow travel is nowhere near as powerful as the shadow travel of a hades kid (they can get to their level if they hone this ability!!) those who dont have the ability naturally can learn, but it takes a lot of effort and practice

they tend to be quite moody/their mood changes pretty quickly too. this is another common fatal flaw & imo because of persephone's sort of polar opposite roles LOL 😭 this mood tends to affect nearby plants, either making them bloom or killing them

the ability above bothers most of them. they feel horrible for having the ability to give and take life so easily, without a thought, simply depending on how they're feeling. it takes a lot of inner work for them to control their emotions so it doesn't affect the environment around them so much (thinking of the aunt from encanto here and how quickly she changes the weather) & also accept that they aren't bad people for this!!

they get along best with the demeter and hades cabins for obvious reasons LMAO i also imagine they're pretty close with their mom! idt that cabin is as full as apollo but not as empty as a big three cabin yk, enough of them for her to be able to keep up with all of them

they can sense when people/plants are dead or dying like hades kids, but the ability isn't as pinpoint-y as a hades kid's, its more like a horrible feeling in their gut they can't shake when they're in the radius of something/someone thats dying

i feel like animals really like them, regardless of whether they're more underworld-y or plant-y. this is another one i can't really explain LOL

some of them are overthinkers/worriers/tend to be rly paranoid (generational trauma? from the kidnapping of their mom). they always have their guard up!! do not sneak up on them LMAO

they're a very tight knit group as well... just like how demeter lost it when persephone was kidnapped, they'll lose it if anything happens to one of them

they can go to visit the underworld but only when persephone's there too

some songs: writer in the dark (lorde), cherry (lana del rey), brutal (olivia rodrigo)

Persephone Cabin Headcanons!!!

���� Persephone has few children. Maybe 5-6 people

🌸 They go emo mood in winter. Can't change my mind

🌸 They call Demeter childs "Aunt/Uncle" as joke

🌸 Their cabin are really spacious. The floral scent never fades.

☠️ Their relationship with Hades cabin is so cute. Grumpy × Sunshine on spring/summer and Grumpy × Grumpy on autumn/winter as siblings!

☠️ They summons ghost just to scare their mortal friends

☠️ Most of them listens "Pomegranate Lips" , and read "Touch of Darkness'" just to see how mortals described their mother

☠️ Can and will fight anyone who described Demeter as abusive mother.

I knew it. Persephone 👌

Suddenly think of a son of Persephone who can disappears in a rain of flower petals and now I’m hooked.

Persephone: This is William. He's kind and strong, and I’m so proud of him.

Persephone: This is Emersyn. I think she has rabies?

Persephone passed on June 12th due to surgery related complications. I was at home with her when it happened and I wrapped her up in a blanket while she took her last breaths. I wasn't ready to talk about it and I still don't really feel like I am. With each death recently I've been feeling more and more guilt. Wondering if I should have done something differently or if I could have done something more. This was never how I felt in the past.

I have officially hit caregiver burnout. I started this journey back in 2018 with Chloe and then shortly after buying my house it became a whole ordeal with a revolving door of cats. I've loved every minute of this and I'm not going to be done with hospice forever, but my mental health needs a break. So, on that note we’re closing the door to any more cats for now. It might be a few months before I’m ready or it might be a few years, but either way I think I’ve earned a well deserved break.

i could talk at length about how bruce kneels at the shadow of john grayson and remains terrified of calling dick grayson his son, both from the weight of loving someone that deeply and the fear of replacing dick’s parents. how they’re father and son and brother and brother and best friend and companion and confidante and confessor and they’re so tangled up in each other that they’re trapped in the cage they both refuse to leave. but people are still gonna try to convince me that dick is not bruces child in any real way that matters. cmon now.

first ten succesful runs of hades

[gotstabbedbyapen]

Demeter: *prophesies to Apollo and Persephone* You two will get married and shall bear children with burning fire on their faces.

Apollo & Persephone:

Persephone: *to Apollo* You'll be the one birthing those kids because I ain't becoming second Izanami.

I absolutely LOVE the sun and the star because it’s JUST-

THE SUN AND THE STAR SPOILERS AHEAD

We finally get a darker side of Will, seeing as they have to make a descent to Tartarus. I think it’s really important that we get to see Will’s struggles and insecurities as well. His struggles with not being able to save people as a healer, his guilt about Octavian’s death, and him feeling as though if he can’t help other people, he’s worthless. His dreams when they were being sent terrible nightmares cut deep.

Will’s interaction with Persephone is so good. He was so stunned by her because she was STUNNING and Nico had to remind him that that’s his STEPMOTHER. But jokes aside, it was a really nice interaction that I feel really helped Will. “Give him your darkness.” For a child of Apollo, it might seem like you don’t have darkness. Obviously, that’s not true. If you have an “opposites attract” thing going on, and you’re just so different, I feel like this is perfect advice.

After so many times where people would make head cannons about how they first met, first kissed, etc. Rick Riordan FINALLY gave us the answers!! I think they’re all so fitting. Nico’s realization that he liked Will being him taking Nico out in the woods to yell and get his anger out, their first date AND coming out being an accident, and their first kiss being an impulsive need by Will to calm Nico down about Jason’s death. It’s all so perfect!

We finally really see the sheer difference in these two. Before, it was like, “oh, son of Apollo, son of Hades, that’s weird!” But now, you really see how different they really are. Will’s difficulty in the underworld and how he was repeatedly saying, “how could anyone live down here?” really annoyed Nico. To Nico, the Underworld was home. To Will, it was a depressing place that nobody should want to live in. His energy gets drained faster there, he’s pretty much unable to heal, and he basically is clueless about it. But Nico is pretty much an expert on it. It’s good we finally see just how different they are.

AND ALSO THEY ARE JUST AN AMAZING COUPLE SO YEAH THE BOOK’S GREAT (tell me if I forgot anything or got anything wrong 😅)

I can't recall the name but I know there's a fanfic in which Nico dates a son of Persephone and you know what? I think he should.

Chiron: Hyacinth, Iris, I’ve left a letter telling your guardians not to worry—

Iris Garland: They won’t.

Chiron: that you’re safe—

Iris: That’ll just depress them.

Chiron: —and you’ll see them in a few weeks.

Hyacinth Garland: Do we have to?
