Commission of an Aphrodite girl OC I finished recently

I hate the "as a girl whose grandmother was a slave, can I just say not cool?" line from hazel in moa it's the worst line of dialogue rick has written in his life. But like what the fuck. what kind of insane lore drop is that. hazel's grandmother was an enslaved woman. marie levesque cast a spell to meet the god of riches so that she could finally know what it was like to live beyond the indigence and suffering of her mother. marie wanted to be a queen, not a slave like her predecessors. she wanted pluto to give her all the riches beneath the earth

and then the earth enslaved her body. gaea possessed her and through gaea's influence marie forced hazel for six months to overexert herself to the point of collapsing to raise and reanimate alcyoneus. gaea worked hazel like a slave

it's so explicit here. this is SLAVERY. gaea was using hazel's forced labor for material wealth and power. she was only 13. her grandmother was used and her mother was used and hazel herself was used, they were black women exploited for what their bodies could provide in service to the hideous intentions of monsters in power over them. hazel broke free from the cycle and saved the world all by herself by choosing death - it was the only way out

and even in her second chance at life she's actively fighting to die again. she's an instrument of the gods being used to achieve an end that is supposed to kill her. she was convinced that freeing thanatos would result in him taking her life. she didn't know throughout hoo if her father would kill her when the main quest succeeded. even nico didn't think hazel was going to live. she didn't WANT to die a second time. but she fought for the world and for her friends anyway

by the end of marie's life she was only skin and bones. gaea used her body until she didn't need it anymore. marie was the daughter of an enslaved woman who dreamed of being a queen and instead the earth goddess robbed of her life and dignity. and her soul would have been tortured further in the fields of punishment if not for hazel's unfathomable selflessness and bravery to negotiate for mutual asphodel. hazel never even saw marie again after that. what was it that doomed the levesque family? that marie asked the god of death and riches for too much? she deserved even more than what she asked for. I'm fucking sick no one talk to me

I still don't get Alison literally walking up to her targets with her bow drawn like girl that's a ranged weapon for a reason

I'll be honest I'm not sure how i feel about the change in thalia's backstory. As with many things in the show, I think this storyline is good but suffers too much from wanting to have its cake and eat it too: they're clearly going for a darker path than the books, but the whole show feels too defanged to really be able to do it justice

I liked her original storyline, because it was a good way of showing the flawed justice of the godly order. That the best thing the king of gods could do for his dying daughter was turning her into a tree. Doing the metamorphosis to protect himself doesnt really fit that, and makes little sense if Poseidon has a child too - Zeus would never trust his brothers offspring. Idk, it just all feels a bit off

[afirewiel]

I think it's meant to showcase Zeus's control, arrogance, and temper. He's so controlling that he won't tolerate his own daughter turning her back on him. And while I agree he wouldn't trust Poseidon or his child, I don't think Zeus was thinking about that in that moment. I think he acted in anger, without fulling thinking about the consequences. And once it hit him what he had done and what the consequence of that were, he wouldn't have undone it, because doing so would have been admitting fault and weakness, which is something Zeus never does, even if it bits him in the butt.

I also think the writers wanted to give Thalia a more iron clad reason to hate Zeus beyond "He's never been there for me!", to make her indecision about joining Luke or standing against him more powerful.

Now, does that mean I like this better than the book version? Not necessarily. I think Thalia loses something by not actually sacrificing herself for her friends. I know she was willing to do so and it still counts, but it just doesn't hit the same knowing she was turned into a tree, not to save her, but because Zeus simply didn't like her attitude.

[hekar1]

I get what you're saying. One of my friends said it sets up her decision to remove herself from the equation by joining the Hunters really well, and I agree with that. I think, at the end of the day, I just wished the show did a better job showing what you're describing, because it does make for a grittier story,but so far the show is just too defanged to properly explore it
