Everyone and their dad was doing these so I did some too!

Based on either the titles or working titles of some of my WIPs, with the “curse of roses” prompt being inspired by the faery WIP cuz I thought it might produce some interesting results.

Which it did? That’s my second favorite after the coat of many skins one, which is my working title for the Donkeyskin WIP. Idk why the AI went with antlers but it’s like scarily accurate to the WIP itself lmao. Good job, wombo!

Persephone @ Chronus: Your son calls me daddy too

Since I was still considering the webcomic thing for my Hades/Persephone retelling, I decided to test myself and see how fast and loose I could make a drawing that still looked ok and presentable and uh.

Yeahhhhhhhhhhhh

I think Demeter will be aroace in my retelling.

Me: How do we make it clear Hades is the god of wealth but also annoying in this retelling

My brain: Say no more

@byjillianmaria​ OK SO U KNOW JUPITER ASCENDING?

The plot and writing were uuuuh but the AESTHETIC

was ON POINT.

Most of the first book (it’ll likely be a duology) will happen in the Underworld, and since Hades is sometimes considered to be the god of wealth (riches in the earth and stuff) there’s gonna be a lot of like ... crystals and shiny metals as part of the architecture. Versus the more “natural” beauty of Olympus.

As for the genre, well it’s gonna be romance and fantasy innit. (Not sci-fi, even tho my inspiration is a sci-fi movie.) My usual MO. There’s inherently gonna be some off power dynamics, but I enjoy writing characters navigating those, so hopefully it’ll be fine. The main focus however will be Persephone trying to regain a semblance of autonomy and grow into the “dread” part of her usual moniker. Hades in this retelling is kind of a wimp so Persephone has to step up to make the Underworld feared by gods and mortals alike. The plot starts off with her being done so dirty by everyone around her that she has to spend two books recovering and then taking vengeance.
