Ever since I was a child, I kind of really wanted to crawl into magma and finally feel true warmth. Probably says something about my mental history. Anyways.

Charon and Phlegethon holding hands?

EDIT bc I forgot: I am currently part of a Hadesverse rp server! It's a small place, but it's ran with great dedication, and the crowd is super nice. Come see what we got cooking: here is the owner's invite post!

"Kairos", the fleeting Time, facing against Phlegethon and Cocytus.

This is some concept art for my next project, "Flight of Time". It will be (sort of) a sequel to Awakening of Time, but with very different gameplay and likely an even more esoteric story.

A goober i started to love... Death River, with vampire genes, works in a gas station/grocery store hybrid in the middle of Texas. And no, he doesn't get out much. And here are his four other siblings!!!

The Rhyme of the Underworld Rivers

Five Rivers wind along the underworld

Each strange and accursed

Fear each branch curled

Be wary of the rivers of the dead

First is Styx in all her gravity

From below to above, her waters fall

Break her oath and face calamity

Her hatred and her wrath enthrall

Second is Lethe, though she would forget

She washes it all away, gives only thirst in exchange

Sip from her and you’d never regret

But from yourself, you’d be estranged

Third is Cocytus, wailing and whimp’ring

In him, you could be easily lost,

In sorrows and such. You’d be a pitiful thing.

Your fate would be to whine and accost

Fourth is Pyriphlegethon, who’s always burning

His fires alone flow to Tartarus 

Such a gruesome sight, a strange way of learning,

For a purgatory, isn't it somewhat barbarous?

Fifth and final, Acheron, the border and barrier

He is so woeful but steady and true

Painful is death, and he is the carrier,

In his waters, in his chest, and across so you may receive your due.

Thusly, child, know the five Rivers grand

And once you come to the underworld, have a coin at hand

They all hear their names being said, and if they were to look, they'd see Theo, and in front of him is: veal, a tub of cotton candy, a pack of 'flaming hot takis' (wchich is probably very ironic, but he didn't have any better idea...), a tub of ice cream, and spaghetti with meatballs.

@pain-is-forever (he's covering his bases :3)

Thank you darling

Seriously?

Ice cream, yay

Oooo spaghetti, a unique offering if I do say do

Wow! Who's the cotton candy for?
