I’m reading Receiver of Many and it has turned me into such Hades x Persephone trash that I can barely fucking function
Best wishes to you on the longest night of the year, and when the sun comes back I hope your year brightens. Happy holidays whatever holiday you celebrate, thanks for being a bright star for others in the dark, and I hope the next year brings you good thin
You are so sweet!!
I had a long night and a short sleep as I spent most of the evening with family friends and trying to practice mindfully eating in the presence of persimmon pudding.
I hope your Longest Night was also good.
And to my friends in the Southern Hemisphere, I hope you enjoyed your extra time in the sun and my thoughts are with you, New South Wales…

Hey! #SummerHelene @therkalexander, I think #JulianRichings for #Charon in #pawnsofolympus please!
@ancienthouseofydell Oh my dear gods I just realized that Julian Richings was also the representative from the Pope Foundation looking to bid on The Red Violin in The Red Violin. You know, one of if not my most favorite movie of all time????
BUT here’s the plot twist…
his character, Nicholas Olsberg, is the inspiration for Charon’s appearance in my books.
Like omfg. I didn’t even know it was him.

Hey everyone! I am having the best week EVER as far as being a shameless HxP nerd so I thought I’d thank the causes and share my favorite HxP creators!
- You. Yeah, you. Thank you SO much to anyone who has read, shared, favorited, followed, and especially reviewed my work. It means so much to me and has motivated me to keep writing by making a dynamic place I can get feedback and encouragement!
- Rachel Alexander (@therkalexander author of Receiver of Many, Destroyer of Light, and other short stories) is posting new chapters of The Good Counselor! Her books are the most poetic, hot, well written sex ever plus it uses so much in depth mythological detail with descriptive story telling of characters and a romance she has made her own.
She also has been so responsive to fan questions online, encouraging other writers, sharing advice, and did me the huge honor of recommending my work!
- Rachel Smythe (@usedbandaid - artist of comic Lore Olympus on Webtoon) - is posting new chapters this week! Her art style makes such beautiful use of color and texture, and her story telling is equal parts compelling, fun, and emotionally resonant.
I’m a huge fan and was so happily surprised when she posted a hilarious panel in response to an excerpt of my writing. It was the first “break” I’d ever gotten from a Tumblr post and was so exciting to me! She has also been so supportive of sharing fan art and cosplay on Facebook, Twitter, and Tumblr and responding to fans on Discord.
- After listening to the soundtrack for months, I finally saw Anais Mitchell’s Hadestown open on Broadway! It was so amazing: the cast and the music is great, the story is presenting the myth in a fun unique way, and the poetry of the songs is so incredible, striking, and relevant.
Cheers to these three badass women on their amazing creative work! Check it out if you haven’t already!
"How does something shine when it destroys the light?"

Persephone: “Hey, Hades. Look who’s under the mistletoe.”
Hades: “…”
Persephone: “My pussy!
I’m so damn funny sometimes.
This is EVERY year’s unofficial Christmas pic!

Is it just me or Rachel Alexander somehow based Hades’ appearance in Receiver of Many on Adam Driver? I am SCREAMING!
Adam looks like the perfect Hades anyway…
