look up Pharos Ensemble. I’ve found what should be the Soundtrack for your show. Erini, the lead singer is incredible. I feel like this is the lullaby Iason sang to Persephone and that Charon hums on the Styx.

100% for this.
That was beautiful.
Oooo I have a great idea for a title (that I want you to pitch and be able to use w/o legal trouble) ahm Olympus fallen (as it actually relates to Persphone and her court
Well, I appreciate where you’re coming from, and it’s a great title.
But because it was sent to me personally via PM there is now literally no way I can use that title even if I wanted to.
I’m not trying to rag on you at all. I promise.
But intellectual property is a tricky thing, and even if there was a waver or memo or indemnification to sign, there’s still the whole whisper network and call out culture here and on other social media where a simple unofficial permission to use a title would quickly morph into “hey did you hear Rachel Alexander steals other peoples ideas”
So because of that, and believe me when I say I appreciate your enthusiasm, and that you love my work so much, I have to keep a wide separation between the places occupied by my ideas and the places occupied by others’ ideas.
I really like the name Pawns of Olympus but if people use an acronym like GOT it would be POO trending on Twitter
That’s why it’s likely a working title only. I mean, the working titles for lots of stuff change all the time… like when they changed “The Southern Vampire Mysteries” working title to “True Blood”. There might be a thousand iterations before a producer settles on a final title for the show.
Anus anon clearly hasn’t read A First Press Of Olives
I think they did though, then read my ask about squirting, then wrote in. However, any excuse I have to write the sentence ‘never look a gift smut in the anus’ is a good one, so…

I’ve been silent for too long and can no longer bear to keep this inside: @therkalexander is a good person and deserves many good things.
So far in The Good Counselor, Hades and Persephone going to Alikarnassos is mentioned along with Aphrodite's fertility cult. Demeter pausing before calling it an "adventure" and "barbaric" makes me think they had to do some wild shit?
Yeah, I’ve decided to kind of lampshade the hell out of that
