if you can’t tell I love these AUs

Seungcheol (S.Coups) - Son of Ares - God of War

• a strong and courageous leader
  
• cares about the boys that fall under his leadership (not just the other members, but also others they trained with like Samuel)
  
• very muscular (just look at his thighs)
  

Jeonghan - Son of Aphrodite - Goddess of Love and Beauty

• the prettiest boy to ever exist
  
• seriously is there any haircut or outfit that doesn’t look amazing on this boy?
  
• has every other member whipped for him - Seungcheol, Joshua, and Dino especially - not to mention the fans
  

Joshua - Son of Athena - Goddess of Wisdom, Courage, and Inspiration

• can speak five different languages (english, korean, japanese, chinese, and spanish)
  
• moved across an ocean without his family to pursue a career as an idol
  

Jun - Son of Nike - Goddess of Victory

• Jun just seems like he’d be naturally good at whatever he tries (not that he doesn’t/won’t put in effort)
  
• could have continued his acting career and would probably have been very successful, chose to move to a new country to pursue singing instead
  

Soonyoung (Hoshi) - Son of Hephaestus - God of Blacksmiths and Fire

• does creating choreography count as working with his hands?
  
• Hoshi is real fit, I can see him fitting in with mechanics and the like
  

Wonwoo - Son of Persephone - Goddess of Springtime and Queen of the Underworld

• a sweet, happy boy
  
• makes my heart melt when he smiles
  
• can look quite intimidating though
  
• everyone’s favorite emo boy
  

Jihoon (Woozi) - Son of Hermes - God of Messengers, Thieves, Travelers, and Merchants

• can do everything - singing, dancing, rapping, writing lyrics, composing, playing instruments, you name it
  
• looks super adorable but is actually quite sly and sneaky
  
• not afraid to take a bitch down
  

Seokmin (DK) - Son of Apollo - God of the Sun, Archery, Music, and Healing

• likes to spend his time making sure the other members are happy
  
• so full of energy
  
• his smile is infectious
  
• have you ever heard this boy’s voice like damn
  
• those high notes though
  

Mingyu - Son of Poseidon - God of the Sea

• the very definition of long, tan, and handsome
  
• does anyone else remember those meme pictures of him in the pool with the flowery swim cap?
  
• other than that it just seems like the right fit
  

Minghao (The8) - Son of Hebe - Goddess of Youth

• even with his recent glow up he still has a bit of a baby face
  
• tbh I don’t think he’ll ever look anything other than younger than he really is
  
• his precious giggle and smile make everyone around him so happy
  

Seungkwan - Son of Iris - Goddess of Rainbows

• let’s face it, if any member was the son of the rainbow goddess, it would be Seungkwan
  
• boy is sassy and not afraid to stand his ground
  
• does his amazing vocal ability count as good communication skills?
  

Vernon - Son of Dionysus - God of Wine, Parties, Madness, and Theatre

• I’m just picturing that shot from the Adore U music video with Vernon and Dino sitting in the plants
  
• something about Vernon makes me think he could throw some killer parties
  

Chan (Dino) - Son of Demeter - Goddess of the Harvest, Agriculture, Seasons, and Fertility

• again, that one shot of him and Vernon in the music video for Adore U
  
• could potentially control plants with his amazing rap skills
  
• is a sweet little flower himself, so it would make sense that his godly parent would be associated with them
  

I really should start posting things when I right them because otherwise I end up with 10 finished things in my drafts and no new content

Jisoo -  Daughter of Aphrodite - Goddess of Love and Beauty

• stunning visuals
  
• can somehow be cute, sassy, and sexy all at once
  
• I know I already said visuals but she is literally so beautiful
  

Jennie -  Daughter of Hebe - Goddess of Youth

• cute chubby cheeks
  
• members love babying her even though she isn’t the youngest in the group
  
• (arguably) the most popular member
  

Rosé -  Daughter of Persephone - Goddess of Springtime and Queen of the Underworld

• very sweet and happy
  
• can also have a dark side
  
• draws attention just by being in the room
  

Lisa -  Daughter of Hecate - Goddess of Crossroads, Magic, and Manipulation

• radiates strength and power
  
• looks cute but also like she can kick ass
  
• her voice is so enchanting whether she’s singing, rapping, or even just talking

I have ideas for like a dozen actual fics but it’s gonna take me a while to actually get any done so I’ll try and post more of this stuff so there will always be new things on here

Persephone: I have a new hoodie

Hades: We have a new hoodie!!

Ares: You’re so short, what can you even see from down there?

Persephone: Your IQ

Hadestown (Original Broadway Cast Recording) is coming. :)

See the ‘Hadestown’ cast perform ‘Livin’ It Up on Top’ on TODAY show

Persephone’s aesthetics

From the writer’s notes for WicDiv issue three (the one where she goes to check out Morrigan, and discovers Baphomet as well: “Generally speaking the idea of this issue is to have Laura go and have herself a nice adventure in the underground (framed in the structure of something akin to the gig) before returning to the surface.”

She literally goes under the ground, and then returns to the world above.

Retrospectively really obvious foreshadowing of Laura as Persephone.
