![]() Smythe: Because sometimes I’ll have a plan, and then I’ll look at it and be like, “You know what-this can get reshuffled.” I will not over-promise. Smythe: I think… I’m not going to say anything. Obviously we know that they’re on the path to get married-are we hearing wedding bells by the end of this year or maybe next year, if you could say? It’s always a joy to get that new episode alert. There are some episodes that are cliffhanger-y. ![]() Io9: But now it’s different and I really do enjoy like the way that the story is doled out. So I think before the challenge with Hades and Persephone was clearly these characters like each other, what are their barriers to getting together? It was mostly that putting some tension in the series. I mean, writing a long format romance can be quite difficult in the sense that, once the main a couple gets together, it’s like, “what is the story going to be?” It’s hard to know what the stakes are. I think Persephone really reclaiming her power is something that you’re really capturing in a way that is so relatable. There’s her boundaries around, not just her sexual agency, but seeing who she is outside of what happened to her, looking outside of her relationship with her mother and with Hades coming back into her life-it’s very real. Io9: I think that’s so important, considering the things that Persephone has been through for her to really identify her agency. I mean, it can be both! But, you know, I think there’s definitely nuance there And it can be very comforting to look at and maybe not necessarily just hot and spicy. It’s something many people experience and just part of the human experience. But I think I think sexual relationships can also be just deeply human. I feel that often sexual relationships are often framed, especially in the context of romance, as the only point to them is being titillating or erotic. But for me personally, with this story, I really want the focus to lie in Persephone rediscovering herself, building those relationships and being able to live her life–the escalation of her intimate relationship with her soon to be husband, obviously. And I absolutely understand why people really like revenge in the sense that it’s very cathartic. From Persephone’s perspective, I think sometimes there is this expectation around that revenge plot line. ![]() Rachel Smythe: At this particular plot line for me, it’s having a heavy emphasis on healing. What can you share about you plans for that? It’s time for the honeymoon part of their relationship to begin, in a sense, as season three picks up. Sabina Graves, io9: Let’s talk about building up to a really big moment between Persephone and Hades after she went full Queen of the Underworld against Kronos in the season two finale.
