I just typed out a theory for Pandora, and I wanted to post it and clarify some points.
its important to remember that hades is not the god of death, rather, he is the god of the underworld and the dead (as in those who have died) Thanatos, who is referenced at the end of the second episode of Pandora, is the god of death.
Hades/Tyr is terrified of death. It is something he has witnessed countless times and has never had to overcome it himself. Faced with his new morality, he is literally cracking under the pressure.
With this fear, he is seeking out ambrosia, the nectar of the gods, to give him back his god-like abilities of immortality back.
GBA’s work does not come without grief. Along with the reference of Pandora, I believe some type of temptation, or trickery by Thanatos, will be bestowed on the listener; which could cause detrimental harm to Hades, Pandora, and maybe even Persephone.
This story feels like the unraveling of a desperate man that could likely end with his own death. Perhaps even the death of the “greek gods” in its entirety, a symbolic “end of belief”.
But this eager reaching for ambrosia could spell Hades’ own corruption. This deals with the varying moral/personality interpretations of Hades himself within Greek mythology. Whether he is an evil, vile man, or a loving husband who is simply trying to do his job, etc etc.
And without knowing the status of Persephone, I cant make any more deductions involving her with confidence.
All in all, I believe that Pandora, as in GBA’s series, is not some retelling, but, instead, he is utilizing the themes of Greek mythology to his own advantage by adding an angle to Hades, fatherhood. (those themes being ego, fear, anger, and greed)
The real question is, “How will this end?”
I am of the belief that Hades will lose himself, find his way back through his family (found or otherwise), and some ultimate sacrifice will need to be made, most likely by the listener, by Pandora.
And if you know, you know.
But thats just a theory, an audio rp theory.

Heya folks it's me again with yet another twst boy, using @primrozii 's lovely template (that I kinda of messed up, sorry). Everyone meet Kaeith Mihr, a former RSA student who's finishing his education at NRC (he was expelled after a long string of mischief and was 'graciously' accepted into Night Raven by Crowley).
Kaeith is not the strongest mage around, his abilities fall right into the average mark, not that this seems to bother the meerkat beastman - his dexterity and quick thinking more than make up for it.
Besides, he has his trusty boots: 'Hermes' Steps'! The winged shoes were proudly displayed at the RSA campus when a certain freshman decided to take them for a joy ride; the last misdeed on a long list that resulted on Kaeith's ultimate expulsion. The artifact seems to have a mind of it's own however, seeing as all attempts to return it to the school end up with the boots miraculously reapearing by the young prankster's side (which may or may not be the result of a bloodline that goes all the way back to Olympiam roots, seeing as more than once Kaeith seeked out someone of godly descend to leave cryptid messages he swears he doesn't remember giving).

any heartwarming personal experiences/UPG with Hermes (or any of the other Theoi) that you want to share?
wow this is so old but i literally just noticed i hadnt posted anything to answer it, sorry! i have the bad habit of not actually checking my askbox, just notifications, so i totally forgot about this one for months!
from the top of my head, there's been one specific episode of using divination with Hermes that always makes me go all mushy. it was the first time i tried using bibliomancy, almost two years ago, and i was upset over something that had happened- someone had asked me for help with a big responsibility and i didnt want to leave people hanging, you know? i really wanted to help but i also didnt want to overwork myself, so i sat down with Hermes to unwind, get out of my own head a bit. while we were ""chatting"" i thought i'd try out bibliomancy, and with it he called me a big softie. the quote was a dialogue that went kind of like "you're a good boy, you know that?" "yeah, and that sucks. i don't wanna be a good boy." "well, you are. and i love that about you." i almost died right then and there. after that i kept on trying out new things with divination, with dice and books and songs, and he was so nice and so sweet. i think about it all the time.

Idk what these slippers are called but me thinks Aira would like those kind of stylistic designs
But what color and elements do you think he'd like?
Maybe pink with um hearts or smth?
Or maybe they would still be white like reminiscent of a swan
to be fair i have no idea what these are either... they remind me of like. crocs with cute lil decorative things- i think theyre called charms lmao LIKE THESE
i think aira'd like pastel colors or a white yeah ! personally i think he'd look super cute with white ones with differenf flower or rainbow charms :D maybe he has charms of the different card suits (spade heart clover diamond) for alkaloid :)!!! oh god im getting. drawing ideas. :0

With GBA’s track record, the significance of the name Pandora, Zeus’ (and I say this lovingly) hoe habits, and the presence of ambrosia (the nectar of the gods):
i have come to the conclusion that this will not end well, at all
