Tartarus. A burning plane of existence made to punish the damned and evil. And ruling over this pit of hellfire is Hades, Lord of the Dead and God of the Underworld. And while torturing souls and abusing his two minions Pain and Panic are always good fun, he's grown bored. With his plans to rule Olympus and destroy Hercules down the tube, he needs a new aspiration in his un-life. And since he needs to buy some groceries, Ponyville seems like the perfect place to go shopping. And maybe make an ally or two for his newest plan to take over Olympus. If he doesn't burn them all to a crisp and steal their souls first.

Ok, seriously, what's the deal with all the Tartarus fics?

YEESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS! This is probably now one of your new top crossover fics:raritystarry::raritystarry::pinkiegasp:

Love it so far! You captured Hades fun insanity perfectly and the descriptions were quite detailed. Expect me to stick around.

LOL, I remember the movie and show very well. It brings back memories.

2070257 this is the first one i've seen can you link me some?

Maybe, maybe not. Remember, Hades is from a Disney movie, so I'm probably going to stick to the original in terms of rating.

2070384 What is that gif from? It's bugging me, 'cause I feel like I've seen it before.

Rainbro? I'm worried about you, son.

First you start off on this "pretty pony" phase of yours, and now you've written two separate fan-made stories involving both Satan and a... a PAGAN god of hell in a row?

Don't make me strike you wit dis bible, boy. Cause if I'm gonna den mah belt's gonna be tannin you's sinful hide right next, ya hear?! :flutterrage:

Makes sense now, doesn't it? :trollestia:

2070464 Yes! It does! :pinkiehappy:
But be aware! If you get more drunk I won't hesitate to smash lucky charms, and other good brands of cereal to death!

Erm...not to be a douche, but Hades isn't the god of death THANATOS is

2070505 Yes! I knew it was something I was quite familiar with. I have trouble putting my fingers on stuff like that though. At least you saved me from racking my brain trying to remember.

But seriously, I'm just going with what Disney gave me. Hades is the Lord of Death, so there could be a difference.

2070536. Well, I'm just going by my textbook, unless it's wrong it says Hades is the lord of the underworld, and Thanatos is the god of death

Hades? As in the Disney version of Hades? Now you KNOW you gotta do something like the following joke sometime during this story:

2070524
Damn it all, you clever old bean! I should've known you'd resort to your old tried and true trump card, the morbidly-obese-sterotypical-black-woman-cross-dresser's-sass! :twilightangry2:

I get bored of my avatar really easily.

2070961
I AM CONFUSED!

But whatever. I only keep the same avatar because it's the only one that makes my name have meaning.

2070523 Thanatos is the daemon personification of death, not the god of death. Hades is the god of the Underworld, death, and dying. Also, there can be multiple gods for one, or similar, thing(s). For instance, Aphrodite is the goddess of love and beauty, and Cupid is the god of love and sexual intercourse. :applejackunsure:

"The hell type of sunny-fun nightmare did I come into?"

:rainbowlaugh:

2071021
Cupid the God of sexual intercourse you say?

Evil plan for story! :pinkiecrazy:

Hades going grocery shopping in Equestria?

I'm digging this already! Though he's only going to find items leading to a vegan diet.

Note that Hades isn't god of death. He's the god of the dead and of wealth. Thanatos is the Grecian death god.

I've already had a discussion like this with one individual, so let me say it like this.
Hades is the Lord of Death and God of the Underworld. I already know about Thanatos, but I am using Disney's settings here, and I didn't see him in the movie, which means he doesn't get mention. But seriously, I don't know the difference between Lord and God (could just be synonyms of each other), so as it stands he's still the Lord of Death.

I'm hitting the follow button so hard that I think I broke it. I loved James Woods' rendition of Hades as a sneaky swindler. I can scarcely imagine the trouble he's going to cause in Equestria.

I hope Rip Torn Zeus will show up at some point.

Hooollly Jesus. That's now in my head canon. It's official: either Hades from Hercules or a pony version of Hades from Hercules now rules Tartarus.

Silent Bob liking and commenting on one of my stories? And with a meme picture too?

But seriously, thanks for that. Having an author I respect so much give my story the time of day is wicked awesome. And yes, that's been my head canon ever since I saw this pic.

2070523 And to nit-pick at you, Hades was the God of Death, in the manner that he was the sovereign ruler of the underworld and all within it. Hades the God presided over the dead and all the riches that are found beneath the Earth, another name for him being Plouton, or "Rich One" which was later latinized by the Romans to Pluto. Now, as Zeus had command of the skies, and the many winds and weathers that cross it, and Poseidon had the oceans, seas, and all the waters great and small to his domain(and earthquakes and horses as well, for whatever reason), Hades had lesser gods to divide the workload, if you will. Thanatos was the collector of souls, and something of a gatekeeper as well. Charon; the ferryman, saw souls across the rivers of Hades so that they might be divided then by the three judges, Minos, Rhadamanthus, and Aeacus, to go onwards to Elysium for the virtuous and "blameless" heroes, Asphodel for those neither good nor evil, or Tartarus for those evil, cruel, and impious.
