MYTHOLOGY MEME: [1/9] greek gods/goddesses

THANATOS - In greek anmythology, Thanatos (Θανατος) was the god and personification of death. His touch was gentle, likened to that of his twin brother Hypnos (the god of sleep). Violent death was the domain of Thanatos’ blood-craving sisters, the Keres, spirits of slaughter and disease. He has been portrayed as a youth carrying a butterfly (symbolising the soul of the dead) or a wreath of poppies (associated to him because of the risk of death by overexposure to them). He is often shown carrying an inverted torch (holding it upside down in his hands), representing a life extinguished. He is usually described as winged and with a sword sheathed at his belt.

Persephone is having sex in hell.

Unlike the rest of us, she doesn’t know

what winter is, only that

she is what causes it.

just-shower-thoughts:



If the devil has a pitchfork and the grim reaper has a scythe, is agriculture a major industry in the underworld?



Thanks to Persephone it is

“Can the sun find its match in anything but the moon?  Can the heavens lose interest in the earth?” Hades pulled away from her and stroked her cheek.  "Can death exist without life?“(x)





@kata-chthonia congrats on moving closer to this reality! I can’t wait to make gif sets of the actual result. You deserve it 100%, but more importantly, Hades and Persephone’s story deserves this, and you!

It’s also wild for them to say that when Japan, Korea China and Taiwan have robust film industries. Like that is objectively u true because over a billion people are watching,creating, and performing in expressive media. Like racist is a hell of a drug for them to say that.

I have 4 choices for Hades (b/c he has to have a great voice): Idris Elba, Armie Hammer, Chadwick Boseman, and Richard Armitage.

You sent those suggestions off to my Executive Producer Summer Helene, right? ;)

You can find her here on Twitter.
