#queen of the underworld
A warm-up sketch of Kore
Forgot to post this here. Lady Persephone
“Do not send flowers,
we’ll throw them in the river.
‘Flowers are for the dead’, ‘least that’s what
the mortals say.
I’ll come back when he bores me,
but Mama,
not today.”
Daniella Michalleni on Persephone
Post 6/6
“Mama, Mama, I hope you get this.
Know the bed is warm and our hearts are cold,
know never have I been better
than when I am here.”
Daniella Michalleni on Persephone

“I hope you’ve heard of horns,
but that isn’t half of it. Out of an entire kingdom
he kneels only to me,
calls me Queen, calls me Mercy.”
Daniella Michalleni on Persephone
Post 4/6
Hera: Do you like Persephone?
Hades: What? No, I would never.
Hera: So you wouldn’t mind if I set her up-
Hades: I will kill you with my bare hands.
Artemis: *passionately yelling at someone*
Artemis: *accidentally wacks Persephone over the head*
Artemis’ mind: trying to decide between “I’m fucking sorry” and “are you okay”
Artemis: ARE YOU FUCKING SORRY
Persephone, choking back tears:w-why?
Artemis: *internally panics forever*
Persephone: *arguing with someone* fight me!
Hades: *behind her holding a knife*
Hades: *mouthing* don’t.
Hades: We just ate, why are you making pancakes?
Persephone: They’re for the dogs.
Hades: Why are you making pancakes for the dogs?
Persephone: They don’t know how.
Poseiden: THIS IS AN INTERVENTION!
Hades:…Excuse me?
Persephone: We’re worried for you, Hades.
Hades: Why? I’m fine!
Hecate: You haven’t slept in two weeks.
Poseidon: You literally dropped your mug today and said “mood” when it broke.
Persephone: You look sad :(
Hades: Guys, I’m fine. I occasionally commit self care.
Hecate: SELF CARE ISN’T LIMITED TO HAIR, Hades.
Hades: CAN’T HEAR YOU OVER HOW FINE MY HAIR IS.
Hecate: DRINK. SOME. WATER!
Hades: There’s water in tea *drinks tea straight from the teapot*
Everybody:NO!
Eros: *opens Persephone’s door* Hey Persephone, do you want to-
Eros:*freezes*
Eros: Persephone, why aren’t you wearing any clothes?
Persephone: I…don’t have any clothes…
Eros: *opens Persephone’s closet*
Eros: What? You have plenty of clothes.
Eros: Like this shirt, this jacket, these pants, oh hi Hades, these shirts, this skirt, oh look at this pretty dress!
Persephone: I know you hate me, Hades, but-
Hades: Wait, what? You think I hate you?
Persephone: You always clam up when I enter the room, and you’re always watching me, and you never want to hang out with me, and you get all tense whenever I walk close to you, and you won’t talk to me in full sentences and-oh, yep, I hear it now, oh my god, you have a crush on me?!
Hades: Babe, babe, do the thing!
Persephone:*smiles*
Hades, breathless: oh my god.
Hades: What’s happening?
Persephone: I think they’re laughing at you.
Hades: That’s never happened before.
Hades:
Hades: I don’t like it.
Hades: *carrying a bath bomb, a pink lemonade, and a handful of cosmic brownies toward the bathroom*
Persephone: *raises an eyebrow*
Hades: *glares* Don’t judge me.
