artielu:
ok i think i figured out a big part of the reason i am so annoyed with 5b and hades.
this version of hades… i’m jealous of my brother who got everything when i didnt, it’s not fair… is not a twist on a classic. this is straight up stereotypical hades.
and now he loves zelena.
which is just insane to me because hades x persephone is such an incredible otp.
especially when written by @kata-chthonia in her now published epic fic Receiver of Many, Destroyer of Light, part three to be published soon. I am a very proud Kickstarter of her fantastic fic, which I paid actual cash money to support. And you all (who are over 18) should buy it because it is FANTASTIC. This fic shows how the epic otp romance of Hades x Persephone is not the “I’m jealous of my brother,boo i hate the underworld it’s the worst, I’m going to kidnap and rape this girl” plotline we are familiar with, and is much closer to how the ancient greeks apparently viewed both of them and their relationship.
This OUAT Hades… is not a twist. And it sure as hell doesn’t rival Receiver of Many.
But y’all should go buy Receiver of Many. For realsies.
I’m going to continue to be grumpy about OUAT.
