be to her, persephone-

Once upon a time she was known as Kore, the only child of Demeter and Persephone, but that changed when Hades coveted her and abducted her with only the sun (Helios) as witness. From her story gives birth to seasons and the symbolism that with every death (winter) there's a rebirth (spring). Her and Hades have three children: Mekaria, Zagreus, Melinoe and in some stories Plutus, as well. This is an independent rp journal based off of the mythological character, Persephone. Her FC is Holland Roden and, unless stated, I own none of the gifs used. This is just for fun. I track: asktheironqueen or askxtheironqueen. M!A's: None.

I take it you don't ship delena, my Queen?

  Elena Gilbert, Damon and Stefan Salvatore's matters of the heart are better suited me holding their beating hearts in my hands so I can crush them.

  It is my dream, one day, that all the original vampires will be staked by the only surviving White Oak, therefore eliminating the vampire epidemic. I care not who these beings love, or who is more worthy of love, given you are all mistake in my eyes. 

  Except Kol Mikaelson on the account he's aesthetically pleasing. 

  Thank you.

     Oh boy, another one of you pointless Gods.

  That's precious to a man--a thing more than man, but I digress--that considers himself divine and immortal when he, in fact, is neither. Just because you're hard to kill, Niklaus, does not make you immortal or invincible. It just means you're hard to kill.

Hades and Persephone by Maura Chambers

[shapray-deactivated20180116]

[ask-theironqueen-blog]

They tell her she’s not in love with this man, this monster, and her mother tries to scream sense into her but their words fail. The unlikely pair speak with coy smiles as the gods discuss what to do with them, what to do with her, how he’s twisted her into something she’s not.

But they are wrong. Hades has not manipulated her, he’s simply brought out all the things she was always meant to be. She may have been born a flower goddess, but she was destined to belong to his world as well, to be his queen.

Wasn’t that what he said so long ago?

The prettiest flowers have thorns.

From too much love of living,  From hope and fear set free,  We thank with brief thanksgiving  Whatever gods may be  That no life lives for ever;  That dead men rise up never;  That even the weariest river  Winds somewhere safe to sea.

I am sick of singing: the bays burn deep and chafe: I am fain To rest a little from praise and grievous pleasure and pain. For the Gods we know not of, who give us our daily breath, We know they are cruel as love or life, and lovely as death.

Only-begotten, Pluto’s honor’d wife,  O venerable Goddess, source of life: ‘Tis thine in earth’s profundities to dwell, Fast by the wide and dismal gates of hell: Jove’s holy offspring, of a beauteous mien, Fatal, with lovely locks, infernal queen

mythology meme - 1/6 Muses and Nymphs: nymph of the underworld and daughter of Persephone, Melinoë

I call upon Melinoë, saffron-cloaked nymph of the earth, To whom august Persephone gave birth by the mouth of the Kokytos, Upon the sacred bed of Kronian Zeus He lied to Plouton and through treachery mated with Persephone, Whose skin when she was pregnant he mangled in anger. She drives mortals to madness with her airy phantoms, As she appears in weird shapes and forms, Now plain to the eye, now shadowy, now shining in the darkness, And all this in hostile encounters in the gloom of night. But, goddess and queen of those below, I beseech you, To banish the soul’s frenzy to the ends of the earth, and show a kindly and holy face to the initiates.

-Orphic Hymn 70, Hymn to Melinoë
