i have a technical question: in destoryer of light, minthe tries to stab aidoneus with one of eros’ arrows, but he had already been struck by another one which made him long for persephone. my question is, would that arrow have worked, or once you get stru

Oh man, this is one of the reasons why I am so happy that I don’t go into major intricacies within the books but end up regretting it later because I have to remember the rules of my world, specifically magical weapons.

So it’s the same arrow. It’s the one he got struck by at the beginning of Receiver of Many, and instead of carrying it around with him (which created a whole bunch of complications) he stashed it in his bedroom hearth because 1) it’s not going to burn and 2) no one is going to reach through Phelegethon flames except for an actual god and keep their hand. (That is, unless you’re a very determined Minthe)

Aidon actually explains to Persephone in RoM how the arrow works….

So the arrow basically drives you slowly mad until you reach sexual fulfillment. Which is why Minthe tried to use it the way she did.

poor baby Thanatos, got so traumatized he opted for celibacy. If he was so addicted to sex I can't imagine how much he jerks off lmao

At this point probably not a lot. I mean he got FUUUUUCKED up by the events of Destroyer of Light. But hey, he’s got a great therapist (it’s Hecate), so our baby will get better, I promise.

Why limit myself to choosing between a pretty, feminine
aesthetic, or a dark, fierce one? If Persephone can be both the Goddess of Spring
& Queen of the Underworld at the same time, then so can I!

I remember there’s a moment in Receiver of Many after they’ve had their argument and angry sex where Hecate and Nyx are showing Aidon the garden they’ve been unknowingly creating and I immediately picked up on him being sterile (I guess you could say) when

Why thank you!! And yes that was a direct foreshadowing of that.

Hi! Big fan and local meme fiend here! Question about Ch 9 of Receiver of Many - when Thanatos is with Voleta, there's a line that says "every touch became a little death." Is that a reference to a) Thanatos as death, b) the French expression "La petite mo

That would be c) both.

Good catch ;)
