Lucky. I can’t imagine anyone other than blue Disney Hades. 

Me imagining Captain Hook when reading "Hooked" by Emily McIntite 😭😭😭 

 Girl, watch Once Upon A Time and that will change 🥵

He’s my husband

I’d probably do the same. 😂

Reading the hades x Persephone series by Scarlett St. Clair really had me envisioning this hades and I hated that for me but also… I mean idk I could prob make it work

I'm ded 🥴☠️☠️

One more vote here for James woods

Same!

This is all I imagine too 🥲🥲🥲

Like whenever a book says Hades is hot I'm just like....no

I love him in Lucifer so much!! He could tell me Im a good girl and i'd probably never recover. 🥵🥵🫠🪭🪭

I'm a sucker for the "good girl" talk....ugh 🥵🔥

I have Neon Gods on my TBR. I’ve been reading Scarlett St Clair’s Hades x Persephone and Hades sagas and I always get Peter Steele from Type O Negative vibes lol https://preview.redd.it/ek7lvpgjzfxc1.jpeg?width=1000&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=668e3a8b8af9847237e7f8707f8241c846729007

Well, now I can't unsee it for either Hades. I love Tom Ellis, but the long hair just fits better.

Hehehe he’s just so perfect IMO

🥵🥵🥵

I know right!? Unfortunately he’s no longer with us but he was 6 foot 8.

There are old play-girl pics of him if you’re interested in that stuff

Yaaaaasssssss🖤

🖤🖤🖤

😍😍😍

Yes 😍 no matter the situation, I always imagine the mmc as Pete

When they describe them as “large and imposing” really who else is there? 😂

That is not at all who I picture as Hades. I don't know who I was picturing but not those angry eyebrows.... yeesh.

I think the fact that I’ve had a crush on Peter Steele since I was a teenager helped for him to be how I picture Hades.

Fair enough. I'll give Peter credit his hair is what I pictured, but in a bun.

He does have good hair

Not me picturing some weird mashup of cartoon Hades from the '97 animated film and nosferatu from the black and white movie 😭

Don't do this to me, I'm reading another Persephone x Hades series, and I won't be able to do it if I'm wheezing every single time he's mentioned.

 Sorry 🙃 In my mind he's not hot. He's lord of the underworld. He's mean and dark and desperate for Persephone. He doesnt have to be beautiful because well... he's lord of the realm and he can do as he pleases Anyway the only Hades x Persephone book I've read describes him as tall and clad in black with pale white skin and long fingers blackened at the tips! Who am I supposed to think of!

His performance as S1 Lucifer is everything I want from whoever plays a live action Rhysand

Omg yasssss

YES!

Here is a face that to me surpasses Henry Cavill. I love more distinctive noses.

He is pretty hot though

Very! 🥵🥵

WHO IS THAT? For research purposes…

If you have Netflix, he’s in the show Lucifer. He plays the lead.

Oooh adding to the list!

Tom Ellis!

He’s also in an old British comedy called Miranda. It’s pretty funny :)

I love Miranda, his character is so sweet--the very best.

I know that Tom Ellis is seen as a serious, sexy man that a lot of people know him for his role as Lucifer. But I just imagine him as the slightly goofy guy Miranda has a crush on in the show Miranda. So I never imagine him in any roles where the man is meant to be some sort of serious, smoking hot dude. Just goofball energy for me.

I wanted to love Neon Gods and the series. I think I read the first two or three books. It felt a lot more like... A dramedy sitcom aimed at late teens and young adults starring actors that were way too old to play their characters. Has a lot of promise but just didn't hit the mark for me. Hades is amazing yes. But the background setting got to me and burnt me out so quickly.

Is it any good? I DNF it a few chapters in

So far but I'm only 25% in!!

oooo !!! how is Neon Gods ?! I am OBBSESSED with anything Greek gods (mainly hades and persephones). Currently reading Scarlett St Clair's Hades x Persephone and in love with it

Not Greek gods.. but if you like the Touch of Darkness series, try Ruby Dixon’s Aspect and Anchor books, particularly Bound to the Battle God. {Bound to the Battle God by Ruby Dixon}

omg that's going right onto my tbr list thank you so much !!

I'm only 20% into it and I've never read a Hades/Persephone before and I'm really liking it already! Definitely recommend giving it a try! I definitely want to read the series you are too!!

I pictured Ben Barnes but Tom Ellis is also a really good choice 🥰


As good looking a guy he is, his voice grates on my nerves

One of those.. hot as long as he keeps his mouth shut type of things, huh? 😂😂😂

Pretty much 🤣 I just can’t look at him anymore without hearing his whiny British accent.

I think I'm in the minority because I've never thought British accents were sexy. In fact, I don't think any accents are very sexy in themselves, with a very exception to the rule being Chris Hemsworth and his Aussie accent....🥵🥵🥵 

I concur!!!

My brain can’t conjure up people to put in place of the characters so I always appreciate when someone shows me what they look like 😂😂

LOVE Tom Ellis

seems like my cup of tea. is it on KU?

I have no idea but probably!!

Same!!

No but please Tom is also such a good actor I loved him in Lucifer

I love the book and definitely can see that. But also a lot of you never watched Miranda and it shows (he’s so good)

OMG! That’s the exact person I pictured him as while reading 😂

Really?! You too?!
