Making a Hestia (the Greek goddess) myth re-telling has its claws in me, but how the fuck do I make a story of the Olympian with the LEAST AMOUNT OF DRAMA interesting 😂

omg yesssss!! My biggest obstacle right now is making a story with a coherent beginning-middle-end, but also in a way that's not disrespectful to her. Fleshing things out is tough, but I'll get there 😂
She was firstborn and first consumed. Particpated in the Titanomachy. Poseidon and Apollo sought her to wed. She turned them both down. She is revered with every household fire and every meal. She is Vestia, the fire of Rome, and she stepped away from it all for Dionysus. You got stuff to work with
She is interesting because she was there for all the drama, yet she chose to be a goddess of something so human and necessary. The fire of the home. Baked bread. Warm nights. A flame that keeps civilizations alive. She is Hestia, goddess of the sacred flame of Olympus.

Basically, love Hestia and the idea of writing about her. Go for it. Lol.
