#* persephone.

@mor0se liked for a starter , and got persephone .

" no , no , " she tsks her tongue , letting long fingers drag along the now decaying leaves as she willed them to wilt , " that's not right , they can't do that . " there's a slight imperative in her voice : as if humans were ever so set in their ways . but they were supposed to be predictable , so who was aiding this ... this forgetfulness ?

“ i deserved worse. ” (yato for persephone cuz reasons - condemnedtragedy)

        @condemnedtragedy !

          the goddess always finds it annoying when her judgement is questioned .     like anyone else would know better than her ,   and her husband ,   who deserved what .        she doesn’t bother masking the annoyance and in turn ,   it flies through her features in the shape of a prolonged eyeroll .            “   if you deserved worse ,    you would’ve   gotten   worse .      it’s the guilt that you carry that prevents you from sinking in .     your burden is the punishment that you feel lacks in our judgement .   “

❝ life isn’t fair. suck it up. ❞ (yato for wh0ever cuz this loser won't shut up lately)

          “ things that are hard to hear “      /      @condemnedtragedy .

          persephone frowned deeply at her interlocutor ,   giving him the best death glare the queen of the underworld could conjure .        “  fuck off ,    you spare sediment of the earth .    i will complain until i am satisfied and if you don’t want to hear ,   you’re welcome to take your leave from my presence .   “          dignified ,   used to praise or begging ,    the spring goddess found herself annoyed every time she had to spend time in the realm of the living .

    @atlvntida ,     persephone  &  hades .   * 

          kore ,   don’t go wandering alone !      don’t come back too late ,   kore ,    you might get lost !       oh but how did her mother expect her to learn the full complexity of her duties if she wasn’t allowed a moment’s peace and solitude ?      of course ,     she never paid too much attention to her mother’s warnings .     more often than not ,    the harvest goddess was driven by the imperative need to protect her daughter in ways that kore despised being protected .     it ceased ,   easily so ,    to be protection :     it was   control .      who was   she    to control the growth and bloom ?     the mother of life and death cycles ,    a small voice in her mind would remind her .      it sounded ,    worryingly ,    like her father’s .  

         for good measure ,    she looked around and up at the skies .      there wasn’t a single other soul wandering the woods ,     she’d managed to lose hermes to his other duties and her sweettalking dotes hours ago .       the sound of running water reached her ,    not too far away ,     and bare feet hurried through the soil ;    grass ,   weeds and flowers sprouting with her every step infused with excitement .         the goddess had only heard stories of the rivers that encircled the earth ,     never allowed to them on her own ,   always restrained or driven away by the nymphs and naiads that inhabited them ;     like they had been told to keep her away ,    not allowed to play with her even ,    to talk more than hissing words of discourage .         the woods finished abruptly and gave place to a river that ran ,    vivacious ,    and could be traced to its origin if one were to look with careful eye amidst the mountains far away in the horizon ,    but one could not determine where it led to .          kore’s breath caught at her throat ,    feet moving slower as she made her way to the edge of the river and laid on her stomach ,     staring down at the water ,   making circles on it with her index finger ,    her long hair hanging as the continuation of her head ,    perched over the edge .                    “    where are you going to ,    oh - so hurriedly ,     mr .   fish ?    “            the young goddess questioned a small grayling that swam below her hand and didn’t stop to wait for its fellow fishes and ,  of course ,   didn’t stop to answer   ---   not that one was expected .

       “       mother     wants to see you .      “                         no ,       demeter most definitely wanted to see nothing of hades ,      except maybe cold fingers and vacant eyes ,      but wouldn’t      that      be ironic .                but the cold shoulder between her two pillars had bothered persephone for near - eons ,       and sometimes the time for trying to defy old grudges came around again ,       bringing about futile attempts to soften graveyards .                    the goddess arched her brows over the cup of herbal tea ,      sipping it quietly before settling it back down and placing a hand over the other on her lap .                        “      she promised to abstain from throwing anything blunt .      “
