Chapter 90 had me screaming and here’s why
Okay folks, it’s theory time.
We have known for quite a while that Persephone’s powers were becoming difficult to control.
I just assumed that it had to do with her randomly developing the power to fly, the hair thing and making stuff bloom with her moodswings. Things however seem to be a bit more extreme. We’ll leave whatever is going on with her name change, acts of wrath and Demeter bribing Hermes to shut him up aside for now because, tho probably related, we still don’t know what the sugarsnaps is going on there.
From her reaction, this is not the first time that happened.
But what really flipped a switch in my mind is Hestia’s reaction.
To put it bluntly, she looks guilty.
But why? I saw a couple of people theorizing she might feel bad for Persephone, and while I agree, I don’t think it has anything to do with Hades. She was more than happy to tear Persephone a new one for the article without even listening to her reason and walking away with a frankly punchable smirk on her face.
I think she has a completely different reason for feeling bad. And I believe it is because staying in the TGOEM might literally be affecting Persephone’s powers.
Because she is a Fertility Godess.
(I know that. You know that. Everyone who ever gave a cursory glance to greek myths knows that. She’s the godess of SPRING, c’mon. It doesn’t get more obvious than this.)
She’s just stopped aging. She’s coming into her powers as we speak. And her mother is not telling her something very crucial.
And knowing Demeter, I wouldn’t be surprised if she put some incentives for Kore to be accepted into TGOEM regardless of her “situation”, making Hestia an accomplice of her frankly concerning helicopter parent act.
