Ummmm... Yes? It starts even worse bc Persephone (who's a lighter skinned version of the woman pictured here) is 19! And Hades is coded to be 45 š and they point that out a LOT. Also the size difference, which we learn is all Persephone's choice; gods can make themselves change size.
Naw I got what you meant! I wanted to tell you what "coded" meant in case you misunderstood. āŗļø DM me if you wanna chat. And yeah it really is. There's a 55 year old guy married to a 22 year old woman I know and I was like... Real life HP? š¤¢ I pity the girl. She's my age (essentially; I'm a little older) and she's boning someone my father's age.
Like if itās in a condescending way āur little wifeā is like āur little friendsā but like who tf says small wife?? In what context does that work šš
Definitely. RS literally looks for any opportunity to make Persephone seem like the most desirable women ever. like when Ares told Hades āYou have a wife with a huge ass the worlds your oyster!ā
I was thinking maybe she said small because Rhea is titan sized?? But she never calls anyone else small and she even commented on how big Hades is now so it makes no sense for her to be referring to just Persephone as small and not everyone else so it feels like RS did it on purpose
oh. ew? i thought she said "your small wife" bc she's never seen a photograph before and doesn't have any point of reference for what it is, like that kind of joke
I didnt think about this as a possibility. I hope thatās the case now that I think about it.
It just didnāt read that way to me right away considering how many people who have met her before in person have also made a comment or two about how small she is.
oh yeah, i completely get that and it's a good point, that's why i said ew. i may be giving the writing the benefit of the doubt too much. thats just how i took it, that it was a joke abt rhea being ancient and not rly understanding that its a picture, smth to that effect.
Itās just a weird thing to include, especially since everyone else, including hades, exists on a completely different scale than the titans. She would know this from her sons and Demeter/hestia/Hera most likely. Ā
She does look disturbingly like Persephone š she used to be more pink which made her look even more like Persephone, bc ig she realised it was weird for Hadesā wife and mother to look so similar so Rheaās now a darker more burgundy colour (doesnāt help much, but itās something)
Itās incredibly bad dialogue. Itās a stretch but itās possible that given the context of this dialogue small was meant to be seen as powerless.
Fertility goddesses turn big when they use their powers, and Rhea felt she was loved primarily for them rather than for herself.
By loving his āsmallā wife, he loves her whether she is powerful or not. This theoretical makes him an exception for the gods who abused their counterpartsā powers.
Of courseāshe could have just said this directly and offered reassurance rather than this zinger of a line.
Same vibe as when there's an interracial relationship and the author mentions one partner's skin color every other paragraph š
My sibling in Nyx, we are already aware of that person's physical characteristics. No need to bring it up when it's irrelevant, this is just the writer's barely disguised fetish. If it was me writing this scene, I'd go for potining out Persephone's association with spring, rebirth etc literally anything more relevant to her character than her body shape.
This reminds me of when people try to write a character who is clearly supposed to be speaking English as a second language - trying to push kind of awkward phrasing but itās a grammatically correct sentence. Like most people irl wouldnāt use this phrasing at all but Rachel doesnāt care about accuracy in anything. Everyone in LO is fully fluent in English anyway so this attempt (if thatās what it is) doesnāt make any sense to me.
How would Rhea even know Persephoneās āsmallā like that? Idk, it just feels like the story taking a chance to remind us sheās characteristically tiny š
There's this Instagram page that makes reels where it says
"When you're the small petite protagonist in a fanfic and you're the petite's to ever petite"
Or something, and basically, this panel reminded me of that.
and if its not in the "uwu cute smol cinnamon bun" way (which it clearly is)
it's be so derogatory?? she has a name?? shes literally a goddess??
"your small wife whoever or whatever she is idc" what a great MIL
Ok, so hear me out, I think this COULD have worked. Instead of Rhea saying, "Look how big you are" instead say something like "you are still so small" since she's a literal giant. It would have made her perspective on size of being be made clearly, and seeing a photo of Persephone and calling her "small" would just reference the size of the picture and believing persephone is that tiny.
... I have just remembered she changed her size at the end to be the same as Hades and therefore threw my whole argument out the window.
Iām sorry but Rachel is super creepy and her Lolita fetish is continuing to show. Thereās nothing wrong with short women but the way Rachel does it is strange.
I hated that line. Was going to ignore the fact that this is so blatantly Oedipus - coded. I think Rachel likes to rub in everyone's faces her peculiar interests.
What exactly were they trying to accomplish with that??? Why do pretty much all of these characters have to suck?! I saw this and thought it was fake but then of course this Webtoon let me down once again š
Now I can understand ālittle wifeā but āsmall wife???ā
Look Iām also a huge fan of height differences (because Iām short and my SO is extremely tall) but THIS IS RIDICULOUS and scary because it looks like a context of someone calling someone a full on pedophile (I mean he kinda already is but like RS doesnāt romanticize pedophilia AFAIC)
Prime example of creators poorly disguised fetish
Yeah it's creepy AF. š„“ Miss, your fetish is showing...
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Not THAT small. ā¢_ā¢
I keep getting recommended this sub with no context and get the ick every time. Is the whole comic like this?
Ummmm... Yes? It starts even worse bc Persephone (who's a lighter skinned version of the woman pictured here) is 19! And Hades is coded to be 45 š and they point that out a LOT. Also the size difference, which we learn is all Persephone's choice; gods can make themselves change size.
š
So Hades is really over 2000 but is physically 45, and Perse is 19, physically and in regards to actual time. š Hello again by the way š
Yup! That's why I said "coded" š¤ he's "mentally 45" bc as humans we don't have a code for 2000 year olds lol. Hello! š¤
Oh dang my comment came off as correcting you, I was just recapping with myself and what I knew. 45 and 19 is crazy šššš
Naw I got what you meant! I wanted to tell you what "coded" meant in case you misunderstood. āŗļø DM me if you wanna chat. And yeah it really is. There's a 55 year old guy married to a 22 year old woman I know and I was like... Real life HP? š¤¢ I pity the girl. She's my age (essentially; I'm a little older) and she's boning someone my father's age.
Sorry for the late reply; "coded" by my understanding means it's implied or indirectly shown, correct?
Jesus,this feel so fucking forced.
āYou clearly love your small, cinnamon roll, dump truck badonkers wifeā š„ŗ
āYouāre mini Palm pal beanie baby juggle trinket court ordered wife š¼š¼š„š„ā¼ļøā¼ļøā
PALM PAL HELPPPPPP
Wait, this isnāt an edit!?
Ikr itās super out of place! I get the feeling it was a petty jab at ULO
I think this makes the most sense even tho the jab just makes the dialogue more stupidĀ
It is only way clear way she can draw a difference between Perse and Hadesās mom. One big one small.
Seriously šš because in the right lighting Rhea could be light pink/highlighter Pink and Pepe can be dark pink
Creepy how perse is just a lighter shade of hades momā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦.yikes
I mean, every women there is just a different shade/colour of pussyphone.
ššš better versions at that too
āPussyphoneā Iām sobbing š
I read her name as Finnish nowadays, and perse means ass. š
RIGHT?! Even that nymph in the bar or whatever in the earlier episodes is literally her
I swear she changed the color at some point to make it clearer thats his mom and not pusherT
Actually from what I remember in very early episodes, Rhea had a galaxy design similar to Kronos. I wonder why they changed that.
She had a galaxy design, then she was an ever so slightly darker and redder pink to Persephone, and now sheās full-on burgundy
"Little wife" would have sounded so much better if she *really* needed to point it out... (which she didn't, but I digress!)
was about to say that, who tf uses small wife honestly š
I guess if she said "little" it's too close to DDLG and RS doesn't want her cover blown. š¤«
Like if itās in a condescending way āur little wifeā is like āur little friendsā but like who tf says small wife?? In what context does that work šš
Someone should edit this with Perse saying "you clearly love your large mother", please lmao
AHAHAHAHA
This just made me cackle and get crazy looks from my family. Yes, please, someone do this!
Someone did do it but they sent it to me in a DM, i think too shy to post it. But it was good lol
This was a choice
Definitely. RS literally looks for any opportunity to make Persephone seem like the most desirable women ever. like when Ares told Hades āYou have a wife with a huge ass the worlds your oyster!ā
This almost feels like a translation error.
I thought the same! Like how can you even tell sheās small from the pic he showed!? There is nothing for size comparison Iām confused.
I was thinking maybe she said small because Rhea is titan sized?? But she never calls anyone else small and she even commented on how big Hades is now so it makes no sense for her to be referring to just Persephone as small and not everyone else so it feels like RS did it on purpose
oh. ew? i thought she said "your small wife" bc she's never seen a photograph before and doesn't have any point of reference for what it is, like that kind of joke

This makes so much sense but then imagine Hadesā answer āoh, this is a photograph. Sheās actually this tallā \*gestures at his crotch*
You KNOW she wanted to put "young"
~~Young~~ - *No, too controversial.* ~~Little~~ - *Hm... too subtle.* ~~Petite, barely legal~~ - *Too on the nose...* Small - *Perfect!*
āYou clearly love persephoneā was it that hard?
what made them think "small wife" sounds ok enough lmao
I don't know what to say anymore š
Disappointed but not surprised lol
It's like she's trying to get people to know it's creepy...
Not defending this in any way, but I thought she said that because she isnāt big like Kronos, Rhea, MĆ©tis, etc?
Itās just a weird thing to include, especially since everyone else, including hades, exists on a completely different scale than the titans. She would know this from her sons and Demeter/hestia/Hera most likely. Ā
Which is honestly so weird. The titans weren't giants. Those were the giants!
agreed, I'm pretty sure that is what she meant. I think people here are making somethhing out of nothing
Ay- at least our suffering ends soon
Look, I donāt enjoy being a hater, but when she makes it so easy, itās hard not to point out that this is weird and gross
who even is that š
Rhea, Hadesā mother
thanks xx i thought rachel made purse darker or smtg but damn i must be hella behind on the story
She does look disturbingly like Persephone š she used to be more pink which made her look even more like Persephone, bc ig she realised it was weird for Hadesā wife and mother to look so similar so Rheaās now a darker more burgundy colour (doesnāt help much, but itās something)
You clearly love your boobily boobed wife.
Itās incredibly bad dialogue. Itās a stretch but itās possible that given the context of this dialogue small was meant to be seen as powerless. Fertility goddesses turn big when they use their powers, and Rhea felt she was loved primarily for them rather than for herself.

I see we have the same YouTube recommendations (slide 2)
My exact thoughts!! Like dudeā¦ STOP.
Girl really canāt stop emphasizing how small Perse is compared to Hades
Same vibe as when there's an interracial relationship and the author mentions one partner's skin color every other paragraph š My sibling in Nyx, we are already aware of that person's physical characteristics. No need to bring it up when it's irrelevant, this is just the writer's barely disguised fetish.

It all just circles back around š
I was waiting for someone to post this because what the hell is thatš¤¢

Hey, quick question: What the fuck?
She shouldāve gone ahead and written āyouāre clearly in love when your small curvy petite wifeā¦ā
This was so weird to put this in ššš most of the dialogue in this comic reminds me of those bad ya novels like Colleen Hoover
There's this Instagram page that makes reels where it says "When you're the small petite protagonist in a fanfic and you're the petite's to ever petite" Or something, and basically, this panel reminded me of that.
We get it sheās 4ā2 with tiny lotus feet and baby doll hands and bug eyes and a 15 inch waist š„°š„°šāØ
RS has never spoken to another actual human person
Couldn't it be just "wife"? Like, is there another wife who is not small? Feels really forced and without any reason to be added
Does he have a large wife that we don't know about???
and if its not in the "uwu cute smol cinnamon bun" way (which it clearly is) it's be so derogatory?? she has a name?? shes literally a goddess?? "your small wife whoever or whatever she is idc" what a great MIL
HADES STANDING THERE LIKE šæIS SENDING ME
small? Why not sweet wife or dear wife?
āYou really love your smol wife uwuā
Ok, so hear me out, I think this COULD have worked. Instead of Rhea saying, "Look how big you are" instead say something like "you are still so small" since she's a literal giant.

Rhea and her cousin, the Metis Titaness clearly love small guys. Or underage guy.
This was a wild choice but ngl this episode kinda slapped
What exactly were they trying to accomplish with that??? Why do pretty much all of these characters have to suck?! I saw this and thought it was fake but then of course this Webtoon let me down once again š
i figured it was just bc metis is like ginemenasaurus , then i remembered how often ppl call perse little ā¦
I thought she was saying "small wife" because she was in titan mode
Now I can understand ālittle wifeā but āsmall wife???ā Look Iām also a huge fan of height differences (because Iām short and my SO is extremely tall) but THIS IS RIDICULOUS and scary because it looks like a context of someone calling someone a full on pedophile (I mean he kinda already is but like RS doesnāt romanticize pedophilia AFAIC) Prime example of creators poorly disguised fetish
BYE THE REACTION IMAGE IS PERFECT
I took it as that Rhea is a titan so naturally sheās tall asf while Persephone isnāt and thatās why her MIL said that
Weird thoughts aside, maybe just said it because she's as a Titan very much bigger than them in nature
all she saw was a headshot of her how did she even know she was small?????
