The finale to Lore Olympus is here at last. It's gonna be a big one, so I might need to split it into more than one post...
Gaia ain't wasting time with any bullshit. She just straight up punches her hand through Ouranos and pulls Apollo out.
I love how she pokes him like a concussed bug before handing him off to Artemis.
Gaia goes on to explain that love was the key to bringing her back to life. The balance of give and take, rather than continuing the one-sided power abuse, is what allowed the toxic cycle to be broken.
She goes on to explain the conditions of Persephone now being of two realms. She does the Spring thing for 3 months before she can return to the Underworld.
At first, they are worried they'll be separated again, but no, they can visit one another as they see fit.
I AM NOT GETTING OVER THIS SCENE ANYTIME SOON! Persephone gonna get DAT BOOTY! Muahahaha!
Hera becomes the true Queen of Olympus, and crowns Persephone as Queen of the Underworld.
Zeus is cured and brought out of his coma, but he never regains his full strength. I suppose a good part of that was Hera taking her power back from him. His position as King of the Gods becomes little more than a figurehead role.
Additionally, she gets that divorce from Zeus! No more dealing with his chronic infidelity, and it looks like she's hooking up with Echo! You go, girl!
As for Apollo, he's facing consequences for his actions! I hope there were more severe beatings doled out before he got put on temple restoration duty!
Omg! Our precious little grape gremlin boy is all grown up now! And it seems Hades brought Semele back so that she could know her not-so-little boy.
There's more to come, but there's enough that I'm gonna need another post for it!
Part 2 is coming soon!
I recently re-read Lore Olympus again so have some art pages I did :)
// technically there are tiddies out on the 2nd image but not really in a sexual way
¯\_(ツ)_/¯ They're just tiddies
Illicit Affairs - Chapter 11
Hades proceeds to shirk his duties for the next two weeks.
Persephone is used to taking her share of the courtroom judgments, at least when Aiakos, Rhadamanthus, and Minos cannot come to a consensus. However, the three judges of the Underworld have very little respect for her because…frankly they’re a bunch of sexist busybodies. They listen to Hades, but when Hades is gone they go out of their way to piss her off. She wishes she could go back in time and appoint three daughters of Zeus as the judges rather than his three endlessly bickering sons, but such is life.
It all comes to a head when the shade of Sisyphus is brought before her.
Minos looks ponderously down his nose at Persephone, even though the throne she sits upon leaves her a couple of feet higher than his head. “Mistress, I’m afraid there’s been a mistake in this poor man’s sentence.”
“May I see his scroll?”
Aiakos politely obliges her, and, because she is intimately acquainted with this idiot’s rap sheet, she reads as she goes.
“All right…repeated killing of guests and travelers, a violation of xenia…”
“They were not guests, they were invaders!” Rhadamanthus cries. “He was only protecting his people!”
“…conspiracy to commit fratricide…”
“His brother was a vile tyrant who demanded his on kingdom worship him under the name of Zeus!” Minos protests. “He had the right, nay, the duty to slay Salmoneus!”
“…seduction of his brother’s daughter, so that she would bear children who would do the dirty work of killing his brother for him…”
Rhadamanthus snorts. “That’s what women are for! You yourself are a daughter of Zeus who was given to his brother in marriage! You should know how these things work!”
Persephone takes a deep breath. “Like I have repeatedly said in the past, I am not Zeus’ daughter, nor am I in any way related to Hades by blood. Demeter bore me by herself.”
Rhadamanthus and Minos sneer, and Persephone blinks away the red rage that overtakes her for a second.
“Let me speak to the accused in private. I will settle this.”
The three judges glance between themselves, obviously shocked that she is this easy to convince. But they shuffle out of the room shortly thereafter, leaving her alone with Sisyphus.
He has enough grace to bow, and enough respect to keep his head down. But the man stinks of hubris, and it’s all she can do to stop from smiting his pathetic soul on the spot.
“Gracious Lady, I plead for your mercy, where your dread husband has until now shown me none…”
“Dread EX-husband, or soon to be anyway.” Persephone sniffs. “And you can stop it with the groveling, it bores me.”
“…yes, my Lady.” Sisyphus straightens his back, allowing himself to look her in the eye.
“Good. Now. I’m more interested in this other story about you, how you imprisoned Thanatos in a jar and Ares had to break him out.”
“Your Grace, I assure you…I was only trying to live long enough to care for my peo…”
“You were trying to live long enough to father a son on your niece and reap your revenge with him. But joke’s on you, Poseidon cuckolded you like a sucker, your wife hates you and intends to run off to join the Greater Ocean Polycule before your bones are dried, your ‘sons’ have no intention of continuing your tyrannical joke of a kingdom, and Zeus vaporized your brother twenty years ago anyway.” Persephone closes the scroll with a snap. “None of your lies are going to sway me, so don’t bother. Instead, I want to make a wager with you.”
Sisyphus stares at her. “A…wager?”
“Yes. I make the wager that you can’t imprison Hades, as you did with Thanatos. Only someone who is more clever than Zeus could even try it, and you certainly are not that.”
Sisyphus’ eyes glitter dangerously. “I could definitely contest that assertion, my lady, but what would be in it for me when I win this wager?”
Persephone makes a show of crossing her legs. “I know a few people; if someone proves himself to be that clever, I could pull some strings, and get him turned into a god himself. But, if you lose, you go to Tartarus…but you’re going there anyway, so you really have nothing to lose.”
The shade gawps at her, and then leers lecherously at the pink skin of her calf. “My Lady…you have a deal.”
“Very good.” She claps her hands, and a set of shackles falls upon the ground at Sisyphus’ feet. “Take these, they’ll let you capture the Unseen One, if you get close enough. Happy hunting~”
Sisyphus bows low, takes up the chains, and scurries out of the courtroom. Persephone watches him run out with a gleam in her eye. If he does catch Hades, the Underworld will come to a halt unless her role as Queen is taken seriously. Then, when Sisyphus inevitably hangs himself with his own hubris again, the Judges of the Underworld will have no choice but to send him to Tartarus. She’s already won, but his own stupid pride has blinded him to that.
She leaves the room herself not long thereafter, taking her phone from a concealed pocket. She texts Hermes and Thanatos warnings about Sisyphus’ ‘escape,’ tells them to maintain their distance from him, and to text her and Hades when they find him. Hermes replies with a thumbs up emoji, and Thanatos with one that salutes. Persephone smiles, and then returns to her favorite text chat.
Me: So according to some douchebag shades, I’m your daughter. Care to comment?
Grape Juice: …If you call me Daddy in the bedroom, I will FUCKING divorce you.
Me: You keep saying that, but that implies you’re intending to marry me~
Grape Juice: Oh yeah, I’m picking out the biggest diamond I can find so you can throw it at my head the day after the wedding. It’ll be brutal, the tabloids will love it.
Me: Perfect…can you break away and see me tonight? I miss you.
Grape Juice: No sooner said than done! I’ve got some of my own courtroom drama to share from up top!
***
After a long weekend largely spent canoodling with her lover, Persephone returns to Underworld Corp in a fantastic mood. She sees a text from her eldest child, adopted Dionysus, and her mood only gets better.
Dio: Um, Ma? Can you explain why people aren’t dying?
Me: Sisyphus captured your dad and is holding him for ransom.
Dio: You mean Hades? The guy who told me to suck it up when I wanted to bring my birth mom back to life? The guy who had me making cocktails for him as soon as I could walk? The guy who MADE A PASS AT HEBE the other day because she looks so much like Hera?
Me: …Okay, Sisyphus kidnapped Hades, King of the Underworld, and is holding him for ransom.
Dio: LET THE BASTARD ROT.
…
Dio: I’ll tell the Maenads to ease off the sauce until this is done; don’t want anyone having their head ripped off and not being able to die. Let’s see how long it takes for the world to miss that asshole.
Me: It’s all right, Dio, I have it covered. I’m on my way to the office right now.
Dio: And of COURSE, YOU’RE the one stuck doing his fucking job for him, AS ALWAYS!! Let him wallow in the consequences of his own actions for once; the man has it coming.
Persephone fights back a smile. Well, so much for Zeus’ concerns about Hades turning her kids against her.
Thanatos catches her eye as she enters Underworld Corp headquarters, and jogs to walk next to her. “What did you do?” he whispers, covering his mouth with one white wing.
“I don’t know what you’re talking about?”
“Yes you do. You told me and Hermes to hold off on collaring Sisyphus, and we texted you and Hades as ordered. I know you saw the text, but you never showed up.”
Persephone hides her grin by taking a sip of her coffee. She can pinpoint the exact second she received that text, and it happened to coincide with a much more pleasant noise that she’d managed to wring from Zeus’ pretty mouth. “I was otherwise occupied,” she says. “Hades should have been able to handle him by himself.”
“Well, he couldn’t, and now Sisyphus is asking for immortality in exchange for his release.”
“Oh dear, what a shame.”
They enter her office, and Thanatos shuts the door with a click. “You could try taking this seriously. Hades is not the god of death, but he is the person who receives the sacrificial offerings and distributes them…”
“Not all of them; I do have some checks I can sign. And I’m perfectly capable of taking over in his absence.”
Thanatos folds his hands under his nose, then breathes in and out slowly. “Persephone…I know Hades is being a dick to you in this divorce. Trust me, pretty much everyone on the payroll is rooting for you to take half to all of his banks. But we do need him, even if he’s been skipping work like a little pissant for weeks.”
“Oh, you’ll get him back, don’t worry.” Persephone smiles. “But, in the meantime, you can enjoy a few extra PTO days. Take that new girlfriend of yours out on the town, no?”
Thanatos blinks. “You…know about Megaera?”
“I do! And she’s a real sweetheart.” Persephone winks. “So you gotta treat her right! Take the day off and go to her favorite restaurant…and tell her I said hi!”
Thanatos grins like a boy. “You know what? I’ll take you up on that! Have a nice day, Persephone; try not to work too hard.”
“Oh, trust me,” she puts her feet up on her desk and reclines back in her chair, “I’ve got that covered.”
Predictably, she has no emails, and no meetings until later in the day. So, she pulls up the texting app on her phone to see if she’s missed anything.
Minty Fresh: Can you tell me what’s going on in your brother-in-law’s head?
Me: What do you mean?
Minty Fresh: He just sent me a beautiful blanket as a baby shower gift, and open-ended invitation to his gender reveal party.
Me: Oh? That sounds very nice…
Minty Fresh: YES, EXACTLY. Zeus doesn’t do ‘nice,’ not for me; he always called me the meanest nymph he’d ever met because I wasn’t willing to kiss up to his wife or brother.
Me: Well…there you go. His wife and brother have been running around on him with each other for thousands of years; maybe he’s figured out he misjudged all of you, and he’s angling to make amends?
Minty Fresh: Yeah, but…with me?
Me: Well, you are sorta like his daughter-in-law now…
Minty Fresh: good point
…
Minty Fresh: Would he be offended if I declined the invitation? It’s a nice gesture, but I’m going to hit month eight by that point, and I’m not going to be in the mood for one of Zeus’ parties.
Me: I don’t think he’ll mind.
Minty Fresh: I’ll send him a gift, just to be sure. It turns out that that blanket is Ares’ old security blanket, and he’s been crying over it all day.
Me: Awww, that’s sweet.
Minty Fresh: I KNOW, and it is WEIRD. I’m still trying to get used to this.
Persephone smiles, and moves on to another conversation.
Biggest_Dickest: WHY IS NO ONE DYING IN MY WARS?!? WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON DOWN THERE?!?
Me: Sisyphus kidnapped Hades and is holding him for ransom.
Biggest_Dickest: Wait…seriously?
Me: Yep.
Biggest_Dickest: THAT IS FUCKING HILARIOUS! Okay, putting a halt on wars now. I wanna see how this pans out.
…
Biggest_Dickest: Also, LOOK AT WHAT MY DAD FOUND! Athena made this for me when I was a baby, but I thought I’d lost it!
Ares posts a picture of himself with a black-and-white wool blanket over his head. He’s grinning ear to ear, and Persephone can detect a little mist at the edge of his permanently crimson sclera; Minthe looks on from the background, a fond half- smile on her face.
Me: That’s wonderful! It will see some good use, I’m sure!
Before Ares can reply, another text comes through.
Aidoneus: Sweetness, I haven’t eaten all weekend. Please respond.
Persephone pointedly clicks away from that text - Hades is a big boy, and if he can get ahold of his cell phone, he can free himself. She decides to move on to a more important conversation.
Grape Juice: I know this Sisyphus situation is your idea, Seph. What are you up to?
Persephone posts a gif of Darth Vader belly-laughing, then one of him holding his hands in the shape of a heart.
Me: Don’t worry about it~
Grape Juice: okay, one, quit being so hot and nerdy, I’m at work. And two…I’ll see where this goes. It’s proving to be very entertaining on my end.
Me: You’re welcome!
…
Me: Any chance you’ll tell me what YOU’RE up to? Minthe is having an existential crisis.
Zeus replies with a gif of a raccoon rubbing its palms together and laughing evilly.
Me: Fair enough.

LO Dionysus design 🍇🎭
| Apollo | Persephone | Hermes | Ares | Artemis | Ganymede | Aphrodite | Eros | Zeus |
This will be a long post since Dionysus isn’t a character yet so I had to create him from 0.
The beginning of Dionysus’ introduction started on EP 93 (with Semele, Dionysus’ mother), but it has been more than 100 episodes and we got absolutely nothing from that plot, which is bad considering that other gods get involved in the og myth (Zeus, Hera and Hermes, mainly), but none of them (before and after the time skip) display any knowledge or memory of the event, especially Zeus, who is the one who accidentally kills Semele in the first place.
I already talked about it here, but im 100% sure that the child mentioned in episode 218 is Dionysus. He should be 10 yo right now and he’s the only character (vaguely) introduced who is around that age. Not to mention, Dionysus does have some connections with the Underworld. My main theory is that he will be adopted by HxP and will remain a child for the rest of the series (probably skipping the majority of Dionysus’ myths). And that’s honestly such a waste of potential. So I decided to give my take on him if he was in LO, like the redesigns I did with many other characters.
Design
My main inspo was 60′s and 70′s Hippie fashion, with a lot of patterns, accessories (crystals, evil eyes, beads, rings, etc), loose clothes and a more lazy/cozy look. He’s two shades of purple that split his face, which is meant to represent his duality as the god of parties and joy & god of wrathful madness. Hermes gave him nymph ears to use as a disguise when he was young, but he doesnt want to change them back because he grew up and feels comfortable with them. He has a very androgynous/feminine look, which leads to a lot of people thinking he’s an actual nymph.
In his true form (which can come out voluntarily, but usually happens when the god gets so mad that they are unable to control themselves) he can get really big. Leafs and grapes sprout everywhere, he gets another pair of arms made of plants’ stems and his eyes go full neon green.
Story
His story is very similar to the og myths, with just some small differences. He is born from Zeus’ thighs and goes to live with Demeter and Persephone as one of their nymphs to escape Hera’s wrath. There he starts to question a lot about himself, like his gender and his origins (he doesn’t know he is not an actual nymph), and when puberty hits, his body and his powers go crazy. Its also around that time when he meets and falls in love with Ampelos (and you know how that story ends).
When the wine he creates starts growing in popularity and Dionysus starts getting worshipped by some cities, Zeus decides that there’s no reason to hide him from Hera anymore, so he brings Dionysus to Olympus and reveals the truth, inviting him to become an Olympian. Dionysus says yes without thinking twice, so he moves in and starts to get prepared for his ceremony and his new life.
But there’s a problem. The Olympus lifestyle is way too different from Dionysus’. People are sophisticated, modern and even mean-spirited, while he is the complete opposite. It’s hard for him to fit in and he just wants to go home with the nymphs and satyrs, and he eventually does... illegally.
Personality & relationships
Dionysus is very outgoing and funny. He’s kind to everyone around him (not discriminating against nymphs, satyrs or mortals), but he can get very emotional very fast. He gets easily annoyed, which will prob just result in some unwanted vines around the house and a grumpy look, but the moment he gets mad is when everything falls apart (wrath form). Anger issues + no control over powers = no good.
He sees Demeter as a mother and Persephone and the nymphs as older sisters, while Silenus and the other satyrs served as fathers. His favorite brother is Hermes who kept an eye on him during his entire childhood and still cares deeply for him. He also has an interesting relationship with Apollo, he is very scared and intimidated by him (I understand why lol) but wants to start a friendship. Except for the fact that Apollo already has a soft spot for him, Dionysus is just oblivious to it. Ares is also scary and kinda mean, but he likes Dionysus and cares for him. He’s very indifferent towards Zeus, Hera hates him (he hates her too) and everyone else is pretty neutral, considering he doesnt know a lot of people outside of the nymphs and satyrs.
Powers
Dionysus is a fertility god (which in this universe doesnt mean that much), this means he has powers over vegetation (like Demeter) and mortals’ desires (like Aphrodite). Being the god of madness also means that he can make people so mad to the point of committing atrocities and completely losing their minds. In his true form, simply looking at him can lower your sanity. He also has the powers all the other gods have, like changing forms, cursing and blessing people, being summoned by mortals, etc.
That’s all I have the energy to write rn. I tried to replicate the LO art style, and honestly I really liked the result! Hope you guys liked it too <3
(Also, Dionysus would be around his 20′s when the story takes place. He is Pansexual and is still confused about his gender but he’s fine with any pronouns).
