The Universe is wicked funny

[pjthompson]

So, in my novel, Shivery Bones, Persephone and Hades figure prominently. And I ain't exactly kind to Hades.

Anyway, I bought some small statues from an online artisan shop and they said, "Congratulations! You qualify for a free gift." I'm thinking, "refrigerator magnet," but never one to turn down a freebie I said yes.

The package arrives early last week and the freebie turns out to be quite a nice wall plaque of a man and woman in profile seated on thrones. Nothing to tell me who they are, so I looked them up on the site, and you've probably guessed by now who they are.

"I got my eye on you," says Hades. Not a god you really want to be cheesing off, so I'm going to be real nice to him from now on.

I like the universe's sense of humor...

[pjthompson]

Me, too. It's always there to tell you not to take yourself too seriously.

The god of the underworld has a dark sense of humor, indeed. ;)

[pjthompson]

Definitely dark. Now, where to hang that plaque?

[merebrillante.livejournal.com]

That is weird, wild stuff. Cool.

[pjthompson]

I love it when stuff like that happens. I think. :-)

[ilona-andrews.livejournal.com]

Wild!

Especially since I'm doing a reread and marketing SB now after ignoring it for half a year.

Hmm. Good to know. I think I'll stick to my tradition of not offending any god ever in my writing. :-)

[pjthompson]

Not offending gods generally does work out for the best. ;-)

I thought Hades was a place, not a person. But I'm not exactly up on my ancient Greek mythology.

[pjthompson]

He's the Greek god of the Underworld whom the Romans renamed Pluto. Christians later came to call the Underworld Hades (short for Hades' Domain, I guess) but he was a "person."
