LadyButterfly she/herOld gods were terribly mean
Broadfern“I am her Hades” “I am his Persephone” would probably work better
PugJesusIt’s actually really interesting that both
“Hades kidnapped and basically coerced a girl into becoming his wife”
and
“Persephone conspired to elope with her boytoy, using legalistic maneuvering to ensure she could stay with her true love against the wishes of her family”
are equally ancient interpretations.
… and that “This MIGHT be holsum” is one of the most positive relationships in the whole Greek pantheon.
VindictiveJudgeMaybe it’s like an inverse of the twice-shy situation; Hades and Persephone were both sweet on each other but neither one knew the other was interested and they both enacted zany romcom shenanigans to get together simultaneously when either one could have just asked the other out.
