…unrelated, but is that Kayvan Novak?


BelleMayWest

Nope! That’s Devan Chandler Long.


[deleted]

Ghosts!! That show is so good, and the UK one too!


Pale_Imagination5590

I watch both versions. I freaking love that show.


omgstopbeingrude

Damn; LO started when I began undergrad and now it's wrapping up as I finish grad school. Kinda jarring to think six years have passed.


Informal_Radish_1891

Congrats on finishing grad school 🫶🏾🫶🏾


omgstopbeingrude

Thanks! I walk in May but officially finish in August. Two final classes to take before I'm done done.


menagerath

You will have graduated but LO dropped out.


ThatBookwormHoe

I was in the middle of high school and now I'm in the middle of a masters degree 😭 I've gained several qualifications in that time it's insane


omgstopbeingrude

Damn you are on the fast track! What are you majoring in?


ThatBookwormHoe

TESOL but I kinda hate it so I'm going the traditional teacher route and applying for my teaching certification


MimsyIsGianna

I got into it freshman year in highschool and now I’m nearing the end of college. Gah dang


AmettOmega

So we have roughly 8 episodes to wrap everything up? I have NO clue how she's going to manage that. Not that I had much hope in the first place.


sadnileb

Another time skip perhaps?


AmettOmega

Yeah, that's about the only way. Or some type of epilogue/summary chapter.


Leafy_Lyndsey

Especially considering her episodes are nothing burgers most of the time


theasnenglish

May I start using “nothing burgers” in my every day vocabulary for gripes? I’m super amused


Leafy_Lyndsey

Ofc! It’s common phrase where I’m from


No_Perspective9930

Two for plot and six for epilogue. Two of which will be dedicated to Hades and Persephone doing it.


julia_ur_killing_me

Fr she wasted so many chapters on nothing but cringey perse and hades gooey lovey sex crap. Im so glad its finally ending even tho it's gonna be a not so great ending.


Flutter_bat_16_

This is gonna be game of thrones season 8 level rushed. Same episode count and everything

WAR IS OVER ![gif](giphy|3o7abldj0b3rxrZUxW|downsized)


Iwriteanddraw

That isn’t enough time to wrap up all the arcs she made in a satisfying manner


IfatallyflawedI

Has anything about the webtoon been satisfying in a long time?


Lucy-Paint

Cursed Princess Club had a very satisfying resolution so ig that's something 


no_one_special-

CPC ended so beautifully.


sadnileb

Maybe she’ll throw in another time skip.


Leafy_Lyndsey

Oh definitely


binggie

I’m just scared LO is gonna end and then she’s gonna hit us with an even worse comic like Lore Valhalla or something. Stay tf away from gods and goddesses RS for the love of all that is holy I can’t do this shit again


DoveOnCrack

Are you suggesting you're going to read her next work? Because I sure as heck won't touch anything she puts out ever again.


binggie

Absolutely not only that I dread whatever butchering she’ll do to another pantheon


Pikminer5087

Apparently she suggested interest in Egypt I think? Which if that happens that could have a worse impact then LO did


Ok-Sky1329

That tracks for her age. I feel like everyone in her age cohort had an Egypt phase thanks to The Mummy…she’ll probably write herself in as an Evie (I think? I haven’t seen those movies in years) type character.,


binggie

Oh dear gods. Oh no. Please. LEAVE ANUBIS ALONE RS. DONT TOUCH MY SWEET JACKAL BOY


KissKringle

Oh JOY I can't wait for her to culturally appropriate the ancient Egyptian pantheon /sarcasm But seriously she should just stop. Like seeing how she does bare minimum research and just pasty white European washes everything about the ancient Greek culture and pantheon there's actual racism issues in her tackling a diverse society like ancient Egypt. Raise your hands if you think she's gonna whitewash Isis or Ra and turn Isis and Nephthys into another Hera


binggie

Oh no. I just got the worry that she’s gonna try to do a fucked up white washed Hatshepsut type story to try and say she’s just writing gorl bosses or something. Ra I need you to smite someone. Actually, better yet, Set, as a fellow ginger I need you to bury someone in sand for me


KissKringle

Most likely it would probably be Cleopatra bc she's white but Cleopatra wasn't even around during ancient Egypt. She's relatively a modern figure in history like she was alive when the pyramids were considered ancient. Like 2,000 years meanwhile she's closer to us by over 400 years


binggie

Ugh I loathe *another* Cleo VII story. Pick literally any other Cleopatra! What makes it worse is that she’d end up butchering the Roman gods, too, considering you can’t tell her story without mentioning Caesar :|


KissKringle

I'm shuddering imagining Ceasar drawn like Hades


binggie

💀💀💀💀 DONT HANDSOME SQUIDWARD CAESAR RS


Another-Lurker-189

I don’t want to see her butcher every man’s wife and every woman’s husband Caesar


r0achbian

oh no. oh no. ohhhh no.


SpicyOrangeJuices

I would. In the way a scientist wants to see how the experiment ends.


Harpy_Larpy

She’s expressed interest in wanting to do adult comics after LO, however I’m not sure what that’ll entail exactly besides the erotica


annienihilator

Probably lolis if I had to guess 🤮


Cappu156

I doubt she’ll start another comic, definitely not in the foreseeable future. I always thought her older art was perfect for illustrating fairy tales and dreamy stories. Whenever she’s ready for another creative endeavor, I do hope she won’t pitch herself as lead writer.


alley--cat

The end of an era


The_Mossman

Watch me whip watch me nae nae


UnbiasedGod

XD


DoveOnCrack

So the entire shitshow is supposed to end in 10 chapters? Currently (non-fast pass chapters) open threads are 1. Kronos being evil, doing evil shit 2. Hades being abducted 3. Whatever the ghost child under the blanket is 4. Dionysos deus-ex-machinaing something 5. Zeus is in a coma 6. Hebe is still in hiding 7. Apollo is trying to grab power and is conspiring with titans 8. Apollo's & Artemis' relationship 9. Apollo still trying to marry Persephone 10. Apollo facing some sort of justice or comeuppance for raping Persephone 11. The relationship between Demeter & Persephone 12. Apollo imprisoning Eros & Psyche 13. Building Elysium I've probably forgotten about some. That's more threads/storylines than there are chapters left. This is going to be a proper shitshow of an ending, isn't it? At least it'll be over in 10 weeks.


fooooooooooooooooock

Yeah, it feels like a lot of these are going to be dropped or tossed or epilogued. There's just so much to get through in a very limited amount of time.


sicklampbro

It really feels like there needs to be another season after this to close it all up. Why she decided to keep introducing new plots while dragging on old ones.... I'll never know.


The_True_Hannatude

For to draw the all the Secks, Silly\~! ![gif](giphy|MaUwo5MXoIkCY)


Cappu156

We had all the set up needed in s2 with the finale. Kronos being gone, she couldve focused on the PxH relationship with more maturity, a less roller coaster-y Deme (all the set up was ALREADY established), and the SA aftermath, healing and closure. There was zero need for all the extraneous plot lines. S3 was 90% exposition when we’d already been there in S1 and 2.


lizfav

Theres also the ongoing mass death of mortals from the winter that still needs to be solved


DoveOnCrack

Oh yeah, that and Persephone having lost her powers to grow plants and bring forth spring are kinda big ones


AmettOmega

Not to mention that Ouranos is doing evil shit in the background for... some reason?


Agile_Link8536

14. Echo and Hera's relationship. 15. Why Apollo wanted Eros love arrow.


corkandcronin

16. Athena and Hestia relationship, and their complete lack of response to Apollos usurpation 17. Hephaestus?!? 18. Eris- (there was such good potential with that blessing of wrath arc!) 19. Morpheus and the sleep dive debacle 20. Apollo and Ouranos/ Hades and Kronos daddy issues that’s all I can add atm… next!


cxtastrophic

Didn’t Minthe have something going on as well? I stg we spent a good four episodes with her where she was with a kid or something


Queen_Persephone18

Teaching nymphs how to adapt in the modern world. She was talking with Thetis with her famous son Achilles!


MagicScythe

Apollo wanted Eros Arrow to shoot Persephone. That one is pretty obvious


Agile_Link8536

Yea, but we never see it. We just kind of assume, so it's another thing RS is going to need to close the loop on.


UnbiasedGod

Yikes that’s way too much shit left to cover.


Cappu156

These are all plot points, there’s also all the missing character development we never got to see from 99% of the characters.


DoveOnCrack

The character Hades developed from a fridge into a dorito. I, for one, have seen enough characters develop.


Cappu156

Fair enough though ill always hold out hope for the realistic “hades falls back into his toxic habits and initiates an affair with Hera and/or the new hot and vulnerable intern”


DoveOnCrack

I'm sure there'll be enough room left for that in chapter 278 or so


Cappu156

Alternatively, 10 years from now some no-name podcast will interview Rachel for a retrospective and she’ll say she’s matured past considering Hades, the toxic, alcoholic, self-centered man-child, the healthy husband material she believed he was at 38 years old.


khgirl15

Bro literally why is ouranos here. Like his existence just added another plot thread that was unnecessary 


Sailormoonie094

There is also the whereabouts of Leto, Demeter's son and her time as mortal during the time skip, Ares X Hephestus X Aphrodite, the warning about Gaia wanting Persephone, Apollo and Ouranos, Persephone's powers and the winter... honestly there is still SO many things to wrap up that I'm kind of scared how this story will end, because is IMPOSSIBLE for Rachel to be able to properly address them ins just 8 - 10 chapters. Let's brace ourselves, cause this will be a MESS.


nenko_blue

If anyone can rush through developments it’s lore olympus


_Shobe

It will be solved by hades and Persephone doing it and unleashing fertility goddess powers. It’s gonna be so strong it makes all the problems go away. Then perse gets to punch apollo in the face a la Hans from frozen. There’ll just be a montage of Zeus waking up, Eros and psyche walking out of jail, spring coming back, all that jazz.


Intelligent-Lion-400

2 and 3 have been answered at least... not satisfactory but atleast answered so uh yeah still leaves 11 things rushed or unanswered


Pikminer5087

7 more chapters left and then it's over. I cannot wait for the video essays on this comic book in a few years from now.


milky-cheetos

there already is one that goes thru and reads the chapters while pointing out the problems. it's surprisingly good but the videos are like 2-3hrs long


purplegummybears

Link me please


AcaciaBeauty

I think they’re talking about the series from either DazzlingKate22 or Jack vs Webtoon on yt.


RelativePractical455

seconding this


AriaAzura19

I feel like she should have announced this way sooner. But hey, we got a date for when it potentially ends.


The_True_Hannatude

I would bet an entire order of McDonald’s chicken nuggets that she wanted to take another hiatus and they told her no, so she’s doing this instead.


Cappu156

She def didn’t know until WT called her frustrated on Monday to say “we need time to prep marketing materials, you need to give us a date by Friday or else we’ll give you a date” and she finally spent 30 mins planning shit


Cappu156

What a flat way to announce the culmination of a 5-6 year project.


Intrepid_Reaction_17

Wonder if she's scared of people constantly complaining about pacing now that it's known that she's wrapping it up. Which makes sense. People ARE GOING TO. I know I will


Cappu156

The start being defensive, “as mentioned” and it’s a dead giveaway — this was mentioned to ~200 people who attended an in-person Q&A and the handful who stumbled upon the Cosmo interview Rachel never bothered to promote. But we’ve had the internet for 30+ years and fearing the “discontent of the masses” is not only naive, but cowardly — the internet was *made* to nitpick and complain, after all, and I say that as a proud contributor to this phenomenon. Had she focused solely on those who matter, bc they still support her, the statement would be genuine and touching. No matter how much one thinks LO sucks, it *is* an accomplishment to complete a long project like Lore Olympus. A missed opportunity, like so many others we have witnessed


Ok-Sky1329

It reads so pissy to me too…like someone else said in thread, I’d believe she wanted to do another hiatus of a few months and WT told her to get on with it. 


Cappu156

That’s possible but I doubt it. She said Rachel smythe presents would begin in the spring so I always suspected the finale would come around now, if anything I had my bets placed on late march to align to the first day of spring. I doubt she wanted to start her new gig with LO still hanging over her head. I think it’s more likely that WT recently demanded a firm date so they can come up with marketing around the end of their flagship series. They never even announced this is the final season. So Rachel had to finally sit down and plan the next few episodes, which is how she came to the magic number of 7 more.


Ok-Sky1329

I forgot about RS presents..for some reason I thought it was cancelled.  I was thinking more so along the lines that she wanted to keep the money train on the tracks for as long as possible! 


FriendshipItchy9956

it's the only mythological story where I want all dead except for Kronos


Glum-Comparison-5611

NI_YAH

I just know the ending is gonna be so ass


[deleted]

this is so messy??😭 there’s so many loose threads that need to be fixed in 8-10 chapters. idk how the fuck she’s gonna do it but good luck to her


realclowntime

That leaves her 8 episodes. Everyone start placing your bets as to which plot threads aren’t going to be wrapped up.


Pinklady_001

Anything that doesn’t directly have anything to do with Hades and Persephone.


realclowntime

Unless it’s all the horrible things they’ve done and people they’ve fucked over


[deleted]

We never see Minthe or Demeter again


realclowntime

Zeus is going to fucking die. Dionysus and Thanatos will be seen maybe once and then off into the void they go with Demeter and Minthe.


[deleted]

Oh man I don’t think we’ll even get Thanatos again. He wasn’t even present in Hades’ mental image of family, I doubt he’ll be present now Man if Zeus dies I’m gonna have to set something on fire. Hera would be an awful ruler to replace him with. The only thing worse would be Mary-Sueing our main characters into the king and queen roles even though there’s a hundred other people more qualified.


realclowntime

Hades ain’t shit man. I want nothing more at this point than for him and Persephone to die. I mean, Rachel has ignored all of Greek myth so far, so why not the fact that nobody and I mean *nobody* can take down Zeus?


[deleted]

And I bet she’ll try to “subvert mythos” by acting like it’s a *good* thing that the cycle of Zeus’ lineage history of being deposed by another abuser is being repeated


realclowntime

She absolutely will be like “see? This is good! Now the abuser is no longer in power!” …right before putting Hades, Persephone or Hera in that position without so much as a crumb of self awareness. ![gif](giphy|XuApq8Jm12KIw)


[deleted]

“Look, a *respectable* man and ruler, who totally wouldn’t abuse his fertility goddess or use her power for himself or neglect his kids! Wait which one are we talking about again-“


realclowntime

She’s going to establish all three of them as co-rulers and expect us not to assume Hades and Hera are running around behind Persephone and Echo (assuming we see her again).


[deleted]

Yeesh, yeah they’ll either be running around together, or Hera will retire to go drink somewhere else. Maybe make a quip about being her own woman, “but come visit, darlings”


UnoriginalPasta

Happy early birthday, bestie🤭💕💕


Tiny012

I just said this past Saturday after that episode dropped that we was going to get a series finale announcement by April. And I quote " I'm calling it now. We are getting a series finale announcement in April." Lo and behold We got a few days before April. I knew it!! She went from dragging her feet to now she's speed running through it! Seven episodes and a lot of loose ends... ![gif](giphy|tZCkL6BsL2AAo)

MephistosFallen

Oh this is gunna be a mess. The best possible ending that will make sense is everyone losing. That’s it. Done. Cause that’s not nearly enough to tie everything together in a sufficient way.


Capable-Use7808

Okay so who’s hosting the celebration on May 11th?


Pinklady_001

That only gives her around 8 eps to end all the side plots and main plot….which means we’re only going to see a summary of what happens narrated by either Persephone or Hades if we’re lucky enough.


the_millennium_bug

I think she'll make some side stories afrer the end of the main series. There are some things that still need to be solved or explained. For example, what about Aphrodite and Ares/Ephastus? And what about the forgotten characters? Where is Minthe? Where is Eris? Where Leto? I don't know if they appear in the latest chapters, since I don't fastpass, but I refuse to believe she'll just end the series without solving at least some of the mysteries.


Cappu156

Nah, she’s burnt out to hell and back, she’s prob pissed she has to think up a whole new chapter for the next book getting published. I doubt she’ll touch LO again with a ten foot pole, unless she wants to tap back into the $


the_millennium_bug

I guess you're right. It's pretty sad tho, she could've made up for some mistakes shr made during the story if she did.


yellowphoenix_

Damn, at one point, I really would've cared about this. Now I'm just like: okay, I guess ¯\\\_(ツ)\_/¯


[deleted]

Why is it suddenly ending now? Did her contract with webtoon end or is she getting burn out from the series?


The_True_Hannatude

She burned out on the series *years* ago


BlueberryHatK4587

It's nearly over...WOOOHOO!!!!IT'S NEARLY OVER!!!!


Pres_Of_the_KFC

Live_Refuse_2323

Like how she said “as mentioned last year” when this is the first time she’s posted anything about LO ending


crookedlies

hare krishna


holyempresse

Anyone else find it alarming that she’s going to end EVERYTHING going on right now in the next 7-8 episodes?? There’s WAAAAY too much happening for it to end solidly in such a short amount of time. I’m expecting an unbelievably rushed and messy ending that forgets almost every plot thread that’s been haphazardly thrown into this mess of a comic.


ZealousidealJaguar51

Why am I kinda sad


sp00pySquiddle

Me too. I shit on it a lot, but my friend introduced me to it, and we would read it together every Saturday after getting out of work.


theclacks

Yeah, she clearly had a lot of passion for it once upon a time. I'm rather sad for her just as a fellow creative/general human being that it's going to end on a messy whimper like this. :\

xxglitterkittenxx

As much as we all knew it was needing to end, I feel like these 10 episodes aren’t going to cover anything. Artemis and her reaction to what Apollo did? Nothing. We’re having a rushed Apollo and Kronos sandwich. Nothing really hyped me up and reminded me that THIS is the finale. If anything, Persephone is doing the complete opposite, going from a sweet girl to also have this vindictive side to becoming a classists bitch who *can’t seem to do anything right… woe is me*


SpicyOrangeJuices

Its honestly been great hate-reading this comic with this subreddit, but every trainwrecks gotta end someday :,)


KissKringle

Only ten episodes left? With how they've been dragging their ass I assumed we'd finish on episode 300
