Zeus pulling elaborate and gorgeous storms to enchant and entertain Hera;
Haides frequently gifting Persephone gems wrought into jewelry because he has so much but she deserves so much more;
Ares occasionally presenting the bloodied flowers of battlefields he visits and Aphrodite is just so charmed.
Eros harboring a soft spot for couples kept apart by stubborn parents, so much so that he does his part to soften their hearts.
I have the firm belief that after Persephone left for the first time, Haides went to Hephaestus and asked him how to work metal and created her a crown of crystals bound by wires. Now every time Persephone leaves, he sets to work so that he can give her a new crown every return.
Persephone keeps every one of them displayed in chronological order. They enshrine memories of home and of husband and she treasures each one. Hephaestus has a warm place in his heart for the loyal King and Queen of the Underworld.
Meanwhile, Aphrodite presents the crumpled and bloody flowers to Persephone and asks how to keep them preserved.
Yaaasssss.
This got better!
UPG for sure @waywardhellenic! But feel free to hop in on this.
I have this picture of Artemis and her nymphs platonically cuddling after hanging with Dionysus and his Maenads, braiding each other’s hair, weaving flower crowns for one another.
Because why not,Hermes stops by and before he leaves he has half a dozen crowns and at least a couple of braids dangling in his thick dark hair.Hera and Zeus watching the way lightning dances across the sky, illuminating the rolling thunder clouds.
Hera requesting specific rains: warm summer, cool and foggy, heavy and hot. Zeus gives her all she wants and more.
First time adding to one of these and wow i have a lot of upg lolThe huntresses laugh as Hermes trips over himself to win the maenads’ praise. He’ll boast to Apollon later about his crowns and the laughter he procured.
These are all so cute!!! Someone do one for Apollon (cause I’m too scared to say mine)!!!
Apollon slaving over new pieces written solely to catch his mother and sister in a smile, pieces that are reserved for the women who he loves most and pieces that aren’t heard but for when Artemis hangs up her bow and Leto parts her veil.
