" what happened, granddaughter? may those wretches that hurt you thus suffer a thousandfold for what they have done. "

#❅ undetermined. verse. ❅#moonheiir

good morning i woke up thiking about demeter and how much she hates loneliness but also feels like she is a bother and nobody really enjoys her company for long so she stays away on purpose a lot of the time.

@winterdecay —

❝I did it!❞ The silent grove has scarce known such boisterous joy, home to the Underworld's Princess and the austere goddess of seasons, away from the prying eyes of Olympus and the knowledge of overrun Hades both. Not even the frosty ground proves deterrent to excitable, trampling feet, warming briefly each step that Melinoë prances.

❝Grandmother, look! My seed– it's sprouted! I whispered to it every day like you instructed me to — that I might help it grow despite the cold, like Mother can.❞ 'Tis all her pride and heart, the too-rare sight of life bare emerged from snow coverings; much sought proof of the godling's lineage.

Too quickly does she turn subdued once more. ❝... But it is only one seedling, nothing like Mother setting everything in bloom. Would that I could make the flowers return, Grandmother, for you.❞

the goddess of seasons watches with careful yet caring gaze as her flower works, the power she had inherited from her mother not yet strong, but emerging steadily in the little nymph.

a chuckle escaped her at melinoë's excitement, though it sounds hollow, her heart frozen anew with the war that is brewing ever since her dear granddaughter's birth.

" you have done so well! " she praises. demeter's own expression changing, too, into one of concern when the godling visibly loses her drive. she lowers herself, two fingers resting beneath the little goddess' chin, raising her face up.

" concern yourself not with me, my flower. " she speaks softly. " this is but the beginning of your journey. these flowers now... they are meant to soothe you, yes. but they will also prepare you to wield power much more dangerous than mere sprouts. " she promises.

the flowers are beautiful, yes. but they will not vanquish the titan of time. the lady of harvest opens her palm, and in it, a flower grows, only to shrivel and decay within a blink of an eye. " our power is both over life... and death. "

your muse as a drink!

winter's embrace. - gin, mint syrup, curaçao, prosecco. refreshing, bitter and very strong, goes straight to your head and makes you inhale like the strongest mint, turning your mouth cold. the gin adds a bit of woodsy flavor, bringing to mind pine wood in the middle of winter, covered with snow.

i am still so pissed after hades 2 ending like the fuck do you mean chronos gets full redemption and false memories and sunshine and rainbows and gets to raise melinoë and play hide and seek with her as a baby and demeter gets none of it

#❅ out of cold’s embrace. ooc. ❅#hades 2 spoilers #she deserved better the fuck

demeter just. loves her grandchildren so much. but there is a difference in her dynamic with zagreus vs melinoë that i truly adore.

like how with zagreus she at first was like "ill aid your plight why not" and took helping him as entertainment but almost immediately took a liking to him and then she says that she felt something right away but didn't let herself believe and then when she is finally told he is in fact her grandson she immediately takes to calling him "my little grandson" and is honored to be called grandmother by him and you can hear the change in her voice it gets more playful and warmer and she speaks to him with so much love.

now with melinoë its different. she knew right away melinoë is her granddaughter but thought her lost to chronos so to find out she had been safe and growing strong all this time. the realization is both so extremely painful but also such a relief but also melinoë risks herself for all of them and for what? she pays for their mistakes. deep down demeter feels really sorry for the girl, for growing up without real love and care that she deserved, not knowing how much her family loves her, not knowing warmth and a real embrace. with melinoë, demeter would risk her own life to protect her.

SHE WASN’T, but what does it matter? she’s too young for anyone to care what she thinks and too old to take that lying down. it’s a miserable age.

persephone - not kore; she is past that now and her mother should be too - plants her feet and scoffs. “ right. how exactly have i displeased you this time, mother? ”

winterdecay

the verdant green eyes of the goddess of sasons focus on her daughter. they slide, head to toe, as if appraising the young girl. she wonders silently, when had her kore become like that? she knows, of course. it was shortly after he... she sighs. " i fear i have been far to lenient on you, kore. that you should give your own mother such foul attitude. "
