Tropes Galore!

"This book is dedicated to everyone who longed for a story solely centred on the Gods and Goddesses of Greek Mythology."

Throughout the years, I've noticed a plethora of retellings revisiting the mythos of the Trojan War, the Odyssey, and the adventures of the Greek heroes. However, I've always yearned for a story focused entirely on the drama-filled lives of the Gods alone.

Forget "The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills," I wanted to watch "The Real Housewives of Olympus"!

When I was younger, I devoured the old myths and found the gods seemingly an afterthought in many stories. Because the myths were written by men about men, the gods remained a mystery and left me wanting more.

With all the commotion happening on a mountaintop, I was never interested in the predictable 'Hero's Journey.' Instead, I wanted to know what Hera had for breakfast and, more importantly, what time Zeus got home the night before. Their sky drama had me hooked!

As I started writing my story in 2018, I felt compelled to stay true to the myths of the Gods. In my world, characters aren't simply black or white; they exist in many shades of grey. This doesn't make me dislike them for their faults; rather, it illustrates that people aren't purely good or evil—we encompass everything simultaneously.

And for some, that concept is too frightening to grasp.

Now, on to the Tropes!

Love Triangle: Ares/Aphrodite/Hermes 😖

Sibling Rivalry: Ares/Hebe/Hephaestus vs. Hermes/Athena/Artemis 😏

Slow Burn: Hades/Persephone 🫣

Fated Mates: Ares/🤫 Hephaestus/🫢

Forbidden Loves: Hermes/Hera (it's kinda complicated 👀)

Touch Her & U Die: Ares/Hebe & Apollo/Artemis 🔥

Passions of the Gods is the first installment in a series of novels retelling the dark lore of Olympus.

Reasons I Hate Hayley

So people have been about some reasons to hate Hayley, so I made this:

Attitude. She kept going around acting like she as better than the Mikelsons - she wasn't - she wasn't better physically, financially, or intellectually. And the whole werewolves are "noble" and "strong" creatures, is complete BS.

they literally trigger there curse by killing someone - so their standing on sand in that moral ground

without witch intervention - their only deadly to vampires on full moons.

Killing. Her hands are just as bloody as anyone elses on the show, and she acts like she's completely innocent. Ex. Davina asked her to kill ONE witch, and Hayley decided she wanted to create another expression triangle.

Mother. Everyone treats her as if she was this standard for motherhood, when

she tried to kill her kid

She put the kid in danger multiple times during her pregnancy running into danger like an idiot - like why don't you drink some bear and smoke some pot on top of that - it would honestly do less damage than running around like an idiot.

I've done the math of when Caroline opens the school and Hayley sends Hope to boarding school and she literally did it as SOON as it opened! Like yeah, I'm going to send my kid who likely has a mountain of trauma alone over state lines.

Characters - They literally made other characters appear weak just so she could appear "badass".

Mikael, no, she can't take on the 1000 year old vampire that made the rest of the originals go running.

No, her enemies - hundred of years old vampire don't respect her - she ain't all that.

And NO, she's not someone Klaus fears, the only way she scares is him is his frightening sudden urge to get checked for supernatural STDs!

"Female empowerment" - She was supposed to be this strong female character who took charge, but she had no strong female qualities.

She was physically weak

relied on the mikaelsons for power, wealth, and housing

demanding and spoiled

relied on the men around her for her position: Klaus, Elijah, even Jackson

Quick Note: Caroline > Hayley On the other hand we have Caroline. Miss Mystic Falls, 4.0 GPA, Headed tons of committees and was a strong leader. Had tremendous growth and was relatable as a character.

Hayley was a pancake flat character. She had no growth, stayed the same throughout the show, it was always: Me, myself, and I with her, and on occasion "Elijah, Klaus, Jackson" look at me (that's why I said pancake - she had a slight curve in her character with which man she was screaming at for the week).

Queen - she called herself a werewolf queen which I hated. Werewolfs don't/shouldn't have queens! There werewolves, it means wild, a force of nature, pack animal. It should have been Alpha, not Queen! So her going around calling herself Queen just triggered me.

Overall, Hayley was an annoying, childish character, that brought nothing to the plot yet the writers insisted on shoving her down our throats. She was a poorly executed Mary Sue, unnecessary, cringy, and just painful to watch on screen. I have read Harry Potter and would honestly rather be in detention with Umbridge than in a room with Hayley.

Reasons I Do Not Hate Hayley: Klaroline. She was never a threat to the ship, she was a druken one night stand, nothing more. Like she may have been the reason Klaus went to New Orleans - because she got knocked up, but she was never a threat to the ship herself.

Well, whoever made it to the end, thanks for reading. Honestly, this rant was more for me, I've been seeing way to much Hayley content on my youtube page my tumblr for some reasons and I really needed to went.

KLAROLINE FOR LIFE, BECAUSE I WILL GO DOWN WITH THIS SHIP!!!
