Hi ms bunny it’s Greek mytho anon and I’m here to ramble!! Feel free to ignore all of this lol I’m just a lil silly rn what can I say
In a lot of renditions hades isn’t even all that bad!! He’s actually like. One of the only chill gods, I think. Him and Persephones relationship is one of the only faithful ones, too. He’s loyal to his wife and they stand equal to each other as king and queen :) It just makes me think of mimo who’s literally so obsessed with his husband. His pretty, dainty husband who looks so out of place in the underworld and yet fits in so well. He wears a pretty crown of wilted roses, thorns and all, and rules alongside mimo as his little queen.
I know in the original tale hades basically bursts out of the ground from a large crater on a chariot or whatnot, snatches Persephone, and leaves, but in my loosy goosey little tale I imagined mimo strolling through the overworld, looking greatly out of place in the surrounding colors of the fields, and coming across a kind but naive jsng who’s planting crops or picking flowers. He’s immediately entranced by those doe eyes (did you know Persephone is sometimes represented by deer?) so he sits and asks what a young god like jsng is doing out alone. And truly, jsng had ventured out too far from his mother (Demeter was very protective in the myth) who had always warned him about speaking to strangers, /especially/ other gods, but mnh is soft spoken and handsome and compliments his flowers. So maybe jsng offers him flowers, equally entranced by this strange man’s beauty.
Maybe he takes mnhs hand when he offers to show him his home, and goes willingly.
Maybe he does get snatched, taken to a strange world, waking up in a bed that isn’t his own. He’s scared until mnh comes and shushes him, wiping his tears and telling him nothings wrong, that he’s safe, that he’ll be cherished here. Much better than in the overworld, where the other gods were foolish enough to take their eyes off of someone so beautiful, making it so easy for mnh to come in an /take/

In the story, Persephone eats 6 pomegranate seeds grown in the underworld, tying her to hades. Sometimes willingly, sometimes out of hunger/desperation. Mimo just wants to keep his husband, tbh. Makes me think of mimo hand feeding jsng those seeds, pressing them to his lips and watching as jsng is eternally bound to him.

“You must be so hungry,” mnh says, cooing, breaking open the pomegranate and picking out the best seeds. “Come eat, my love.”

And maybe Jsng /knows/, ignoring the signs, entranced by his voice. Maybe he remembers his mothers warnings and doesn’t care. He opens his mouth when mnhs hand comes up to his chin, the other pressing sweet fruit to his lips, and seals his fate.

Also, can you imagine a Cerberus that’s actually more like a three headed cat? Catching my drift?

Anyways. Have a good day! Love you mwah mwah
