      I dunno, I just wish she wasnt so... heavy handed about it? Like they dedicated an entire episode to Hestia's peers justifying how Bel has no choice but to accept her feelings, like, "what're you gonna do? DISOBEY a direct order from your boss to sleep with her? She put a roof over your head, the least you could do is love her for the rest of your puny mortal life." The gods dont much love their children as much as they own them as property, the japanese deity even straight up admits he's been grooming his girlfriend. I cant get behind a ship this problematic, I'm for Wallenwhatsit all the way. And I dont really know what the writers have in store for us in this one. On the one hand the Sword Maiden is Bel's goal, the only reason he keeps adventuring, but on the other the only resistance he's offered as to why he wont bang that totally not a 14 year old is that she's "too good for him." The handling of romantic relationships strucQk me as odd, particularly this season. We got an entire arc of a lady seeing past her self worth issues as a sex worker and her interaction with a hero that thought she was still worth saving because that shit doesnt matter, a person's a person and Bel has a crush so the power of boner prevails. Only for them to turn around and say she was never actually a sex worker, she only thought she was cuz kids are dumb and dont know how sex works? Not comedy gold for sure, but what does that do to the credibility of their thesis? Does that fact that she's still "pure" or whatever mean she's only NOW a candidate to join this maybe harem? Is that possible cue for the protagonist only or are they assuring part of the audience that fox girl "isn't like those dirty ACTUAL prostitutes, so it's ok for you to like her too." I wish I could just take it as a gag, but as we all know, fucking Japan man.

    I can't believe MB (and anyone else covering the topic from what I've seen) didn't mention the MOST IMPORTANT PART.
    I wonder if no one else has considered this point...
    It's to do with what she is and what she represents and is exemplified in the final episode of season 2, when she tells Bell that they'd be together forever no matter what. That no matter when or where and in what timeline or lifetime, she'd be there for him and she'll come find him all over again and offer her love to him. Again and again.
    She is a litteral goddess who offers up a love that transcends time and space. A love that is eternal. We're all used to the concept of unconditional love being at the very height of what is attainable. Hestia offers a love that is both unconditional and eternal. That alone by its very definition takes all of our romantic notions about what love is supposed to be and blows it completely out of the park. The kind of love she represents is something that transcends human perceptions and understanding. It is the concept of a truly pure and perfect love. Something not of this earth, something that only exists in ideals.
    Just imagine if you will, a perfect being offering you unconditional love, affection and protection for all of the ages and incarnations of your existence. It ties in directly to the most fundamental fears of our human condition, the thought that ultimately we are all lost and alone. Now imagine all of those fears alleviated once and for all. For all of eternity. That no matter what hardships or fear you'll ever face, you'll never again have to face it alone. No greater thought could possibly be more soothing to the soul.
    That alone is why Hestia is Bestia. It's both what she represents and what she is. Perfect, pure, endless love. Nothing and no one else even remotely compares. Now fucking fight me. :)

It's clear that she has, or is at least developing, feelings for Bell and that she will undoubtedly be upset if she doesn't end up with him in the end.

But if we're talking about how old is Hestia, the goddess of family, the home, the hearth, etc., then we'd need to know what year it is in our world during the series.

    I always considered Hestia's dress and ribbon to be metaphysical a part of her, and thus inherently magical.

    I personally never understood waifus. Until I saw shield hero and found Raphtalia

      I mean the heart wants what it wants but... There's better girls out there. Raphtalia's kind of plain, and the only thing even remotely worth remembering about her is that she's a raccoon, which isn't a very common thing. But aside from that... She's kinda blandly sweet and devoted. Also she has the body of an adult but the series explicitly says she has a child's mind so that's a bit of YIKES to me.
