Five Times Hades Can’t Say “No” to Persephone
By Cara
Aetna, please play “You are the Only Exception” by Paramore.
When he let her drive his car.
Let’s face it, blue boy was ready to risk it all the moment he first laid eyes on her.
2. When a little pink goddess is the only one who can negotiate with you.
Also because she can easily beat you at chess and win an internship in the process. Oh and you’re also giving her salary, even though, you know, HR says you can’t.
3. When she wants to see the snow, you take her to see the snow.
Look at how happy she is. You are in trouble, old man.
4. Everyone else needs an appointment in advance to visit the King of the Underworld. But not Persephone.
Which is fine, really. She’ll soon be their Queen anyway.
5. She is the only one who can sit on his chair.
LOVE how he tells Minthe to get out, but he pulls his chair out for Persephone. The difference is *chef’s kiss.
BONUS: When your goddess wants to cuddle and make you feel better after having a nightmare, you better cuddle!!
Cuddling is for champs, and watching a livestream of griffin puppies makes everything better.
