fyi, it’s persephone’s job to think up punishments for those who have earned it. and she can be very creative. she does love doling out her justice.

after talking to @denieddeath, we have decided that the game of thrones winter exists the way it does because when persephone threatened eternal winter in order to keep her son, zeus never weighed in, or his decree was ignored, and aphrodite took adonis against his will. persephone kept her eternal winter promise. the real winters™ happen when persephone is especially distraught over the loss of her son. the long summers happen when adonis visits persephone. demeter of course supports persephone because she went through literally the same thing, except demeter and persephone aren’t entirely sure that adonis is happy with aphrodite. his relationship with aphrodite did get him killed, after all.

fun fact, persephone’s only ever had sex with one man.

in my head cerberus gets pouty whenever persephone leaves and honestly that’s 95% of the reason persephone keeps pushing back the date when she comes back up.


  • Persephone: I have done nothing wrong, ever, in my life.

  • Demeter: I know this, and I love you.

HAMILTON

wax seals. writing in ink. that moment when your stomach drops and you realize something horrible is about to happen. a single candle in the dark. heated arguments. ballroom dancing. stacks of paper overflowing a desk. fresh beginnings. the ticking of a clock. loud arguments. hand kisses. the barely-there trace of a word that’s been erased. passive aggressive texts. icy faces and wet cheeks. blood on the ground. forgiveness. quiet gasps into silence.

FALSETTOS

the tetris music. a pen scraping against paper. dayenu. the muffled sound of crying in your mother’s room. tense silence at the dinner table. a chess board left in the middle of a game. carefully placed decorative pillows. stimming. red hoodies. kisses in the back of a dark bar. baseball. a hand on your thigh. sweaters. prayer shawls. too much champagne. the beeping of hospital instruments. hickeys all over your body. boxes full of old polaroids. fresh flowers on a gravestone.

IN THE HEIGHTS

piragua. flags blowing in the wind. muffled latin music. champagne bottles popping loudly. fireworks. slushies being slurped through a straw. pigeons picking bread-crumps. candles in a blackout. the hottest day of the summer when the air seems to turn liquid. fire-escapes. taxis. dress-shirts and black ties. record scratches. graffiti. streetlights. winning lottery tickets. gossip at the salon. stacks of school books. the sound of a train going by. secrets kept away from the neighbors. coming home at the end of the day.

SPRING AWAKENING

wildflowers. white sundresses. first kisses. clammy hands holding each other. flower crowns. haylofts. tingly feelings all over. goethe. endless darkness. cold hands. silent screams. chalk against a chalkboard. all-nighters. wine yards. too-tight braids. bruises. innocence lost. graveyards. love letters. adults that don’t get it. piano lessons. study dates. phantom touches. whispers that stop when you get close. rolled down knee socks. your dad’s gun.

LEGALLY BLONDE

tiny dogs. red bull. pink. hello kitty. getting cat called. corduroy. leather messenger bags. the sound of high heels against tiles. scented paper. unworn fancy dresses. smeared lipstick. walking up on stage during your graduation. the flow-feeling you get into when studying something you actually care about. the scent of department stores. the tense atmosphere in court rooms. finding unexpected sisterhood.

WAITRESS

the scent of freshly baked pies. flour on your hands. old diners from the 60s that still look the same. southern hospitality. those dreadful minutes after you take a test and have to wait for a result. feeling lonely at night while someone else is asleep right next to you. contorted guitar chords. old recipe books passed down through generations. knowing something is wrong but doing it anyway. nights spent curled up on the couch with true crime shows.

“Do you even want to see anyone?”

💀. ʟᴏɴᴇʟʏ ᴍᴇᴍᴇ ; ( 🌸 accepting. )

               SHE FEELS LIKE a little girl again, in the worst way possible. there’s nothing she wants more than to hide behind her mother’s skirts. she was right; of course her mother was right. persephone had never trusted zeus, even as a child, but she hadn’t thought … but of course she hadn’t thought. any creature with two legs was a target to him, even his own child. he’d never been great at protecting individuals. why would he consider protecting his daughter? it got in the way of his happiness  —  his happiness and the momentary pleasure of his cock.

               SHE FEELS SICK. disgusting. dirty. she’s had thousands of baths drawn up and still she cannot get clean. the water burned her flesh and made her eyes water and still she is not clean. she wants her mother. more than that, she never wants to be above again. she’d closed the underworld to anything that isn’t dead. her underworld gods cannot leave and the olympians cannot return. but she’d make a special exception for her mother. of course she would.

               ALTHOUGH, TRULY, SHE has no idea if the travel ban is being upheld. she hasn’t left this guest room. her marriage bed is sullied, the bedroom cursed. she wants it all burned.

               SHE WANTS HER mother. she wants her husband, but the sight of him makes her ill. how is she supposed to know it’s truly him after all? she cannot trust her own eyes. she cannot trust anything or anyone and she’d know that if only she’d listened to her mother. persephone stares at the miniature budding flowers at her fingertips. she feels more kore now than when it had actually been her name.

               ONE DAY SHE will have her revenge.

               THAT DAY, HOWEVER, is slow in coming.

                NO.  SHE IS a liar. she wants to see him, wants to be held by him and told meaningless platitudes until she feels once again the destroyer, queen of the underworld, persephone. or she wants to see her mother, who will stroke her hair and cluck about how all men are untrustworthy cods, bringing her back to the passive and soft kore. she does not know who she is at the moment.  no, no one, she says, louder this time, to be heard through the door.

               IS HER FATHER bragging? telling all who will hear how he raped and fucked the great iron queen, his daughter? that is how hades will find out, she knows. he will hear it through gossip, if he hasn’t already. that aches, and yet she cannot tell him herself.
