I've never read LORE OLYMPUS

[@crownobsidian]

Read LORE VALHALLA now: shorturl.at/Bg9nm

[@hammywoods]

The random rainbow fish slander plot line cracked me up 😭😂

[@king-of-a-thing]

Not enough monsters. Greek mythology without monsters is like bread without jam. Bland.

[@crownobsidian]

damn thats so true

[@kafkaesqueee]

They literally started as Tumblr ocs help 😭

[@crownobsidian]

stop no way lmao

[@toolatetothestory]

As someone with Tumblr OCs, I am personally insulted. We can do way better than that trash.

[@TALaster]

​@toolatetothestory this is 100% true, and I don't even make Tumblr oc's

[@sera1143]

the character designs were cool because of the style but something always rubbed me the wrong way abt them. describing them as tumbrl ocs really opened my eyes that that is exactly why i couldn't bring myself to like them 😭

[@crownobsidian]

i dont blame you lol

[@carmbomb]

Or it describes why ppl like me who made tumblr-esque OCs in middle school were so drawn to Lore in the beginning, and hate that the inner tumblr in us is betrayed bc the story is poop (imo) 😭

[@indigoisanidiot]

I can see how them being so tumblr-esc could be an ick for you, but personally I was always bothered by how inconsistent the shapes and body types were. Even between two consecutive panels, it was just so different that it threw me off. The costume design also was just bland and repetitive, in my opinion.

[@valhatan3907]

THAT'S the word?? "Tumblr OC-esque" was the word i've been looking for my whole life

[@jackdavidson9011]

"And I'm fucking smart!"

[@Meli_monster]

Read it, and only been keeping up because i read it in highschool. As i grew older i found i didnt like it. The cursed princess club is a comic i also read the same time. And love it still.

[@crownobsidian]

never heard of that one, ill have to check it out

[@rosenmael9724]

@@crownobsidian The Cursed Princess Club is definitely worth a read! It finished up this year I'm pretty sure and what starts as something seemly stereotypical actually develops into a really sweet and full of depth story that breaks the stereotypical nature it builds up.

[@Staryeyedartist]

I started reading that comic not long after it came out and stuck with it just to see the ending but it is kinda crazy looking back and seeing some of the creepy stuff the author (probably unintentionally) put in, such as the fact that Persephone was barely 19 at the beginning and had met Hades (while being naked) and had a flirty relationship with Ares before then, meaning she was 18 *at most* during those incidents, as while as the plot with Zeus and Metis, as Hades was said to be 19 at the time where Zeus and Metis were together and Zeus is the youngest of the three brothers, meaning he was either underage or barely of age while in a relationship with a much older women, since the titans are older then the gods

[@ringinn7880]

To be fair that's actually an issue with the original myths as well. However, they don't give the gods exact ages.

[@Staryeyedartist]

@@ringinn7880 True, but it feels much weirder to me to have 18-19 with much, much older person then unspecified ages with a large gap, especially with immortal characters because with unspecified ages you could at least reasonably assume no one's a literal teenager

[@Brenilla]

Lore olympus has such lovely art, surely it wont go down hill soon after this beginning right? .... (._. ) Anywho nice simple video and review. Well done!

[@dinam3236]

So, I read Lore Valhalla. You wanted comments, so... here. It was cute. I mean, it was clearly written by someone who had no clue about Norse myths... having grown up in Norway I grew up with these myths. But it was cute. Art was cute, writing was mostly cute... I liked Thor and Sif bonding over beer. Ending was much too abrupt, though I'm not sure the ending with the kids would have helped. More like.. everyone just decides to leave Odin's club and that's it. Just so you know for the future: Loki is not Thor's brother or Odin's son/forster son. That's just the Marvel comics version (which is about as accurate to the Norse myths as Disney's Hercules is to Greek myths). Loki's not related to Thor or Odin at all. He was Odin's "blood brother," which essentially meant they had sworn friendship and fealty to one another. He often traveled with Thor, and they did make for a good "brains and brawn" duo, which is probably why you get them as a duo in several myths. But seeing any version of Loki address Odin as "father" just kinda irks me... I mean, I can take it from Marvel's Loki because I've given up on him anyway. But outside Marvel? Loki is not Odin's son and should not be referred to as Odin's son. Kay, thanks for the attention!

[@clemonkey]

I LOVE SWIMMY

[@MihályIllyés]

so the author is in fact not a highschooler but a 38 years old straight woman with a graphic design degree. strange

[@appledough3843]

You should start reviewing webtoons and webcomics

[@crownobsidian]

sounds fun, ill see how i can add them into the mix

[@viridia1526]

Out of everything you could do with greek mythology and the writer turns it into an office romance… bland af

[@annieandelsieofarendelle3294]

To me it's difficult to recognize who is supposed to be who and this is coming from someone who loves mythology. Like with Aphrodite, her design doesn't really scream the goddess of love and beauty since it's much to plain and there's nothing that unique about her. If I was doing it, I would've designed Aphrodite to be beautiful in the eye of the beholder like in Percy Jackson so her appearance shifts depending on what that person deems as beautiful.

[@muun4619]

I tried to read it but it just never ended i did like it at the beginning I thought it was something new and it will be soo good but i just lost interest bc it took waayyy too long and the story wasn't much ether

[@vanveleca]

[@chrissyb8063]
