"Persephone went willingly! Just check the oldest myth." - one too many a person on tiktok this morning.
Alright, I will. I'll use the Homeric Hymn to Demeter (7th century BCE) for you.
"[..] but broad-pathed Earth gaped wide
On the Nysion plain where the lord, the Receiver of many, rushed forth
With his deathless horses, Kronos' son who has many a name.
He seized her against her will, and aboard his golden car
Carried her off, lamenting; she uttered a piercing scream"
(line 16-20)
"When the maiden shrieked in appeal to her father"
(line 27)
"While the goddess [Persephone] viewed earth and starry sky, and the strong-flowing sea
Teeming with fish, and the rays of the Sun, she still hoped to behold
Her dear mother again, and the tribes of gods eternal in race;
So long did hope soothe her mighty mind despite her grief."
(line 33-36)
"Sun, [Helios], as a god for a goddess [Demeter] show your regard for me,
If ever by word or deed your heart and spirit I pleased.
The daughter whom I bore, my sweet offshoot of glorious form,
I heard through the murmuring air giving vent to an anguished cry
As though overpowered by force, yet caught no glimpse with my eyes.
[...]
Who took her without my consent against her will by force
And vanished -"
(line 64-72)
"And the lord in his [Hades'] halls he [Hermes] discovered seated upon a couch,
And he had his revered spouse by him, though much against her will,
Since she longed for Demeter, her mother -"
(line 43-45)
"She [Persephone] quickly leaped up in delight, but secretly, glancing round,
He [Hades] gave her to eat a pomegranate's honey-sweet seed, so that there
By revered Demeter the dark-robed she would not for ever stay."
(line 73-75)
"I [Persephone] at once leaped up in delight, but Hades secretly put
A food as sweet as honey, a pomegranate's seed, in my hand
And using violence forced me to taste it against my will"
(line 412-412)

The legend says that a young warrior fell in love for the wife of the chief of the tribe.
Since it was a forbidden love, he couldn’t approach her. Therefore, he prayed for the god Tupã to turn him into a bird. Tupã turned him into a red, yellow and black bird with a beautiful chant.
The chief of the tribe was the first to hear the wonderful chant of that bird. He was so fascinated that came to follow the bird to imprison him and have its chant just for his own delight. In eager to capture the bird, the chief got lost in the woods.

Someone on twitter reminded me that even though to Fit he thinks they’re dating, to Pac, a brazilian, no they’re not. They’re "ficando" (hooking up), "saindo" (going out) at best, but not "namorando" (dating). Basically, they’re in a formal and committed situationship, but not even that if they didn’t talk about being exclusive. To us, going on one or even multiple dates doesn't mean anything. For them to officially be boyfriends, one of them needs to propose a relationship with a promise ring (pedido de namoro). This is why Cellbit wears a ring even though him and Lorena are not married or engaged, it’s an "anel de namoro".
So feel free to use this miscommunication in all your angsty fics :)
Edit: omg pac is living a "didn’t know they were dating" trope. How are they literally a romcom
Ok, thats the prototype of a history I’m creating.
I like circus, I like Greek mitology, why not fuse both?! It’s pretty simple for now, a circus that takes place in the 20s /30s,where the artist named themselves after the Greek gods.
But names hold power, they’re clearly not the real Greek deity’s, but for using their names, they also get their personality, their fates are adapted to retelling of the original myth .
( Thats just an excuse to draw Apollo in a trapeze artist clothe)

Every url that reblog’s will be written in a book and shown to my homophobic dad.

There's a sketch o Eros and Psique i hope to finnish one day
Never agreed so much whit a tumblr ship post
Have brainrot here are my favourite straw hat ships and why
Zolu - i just love them, they make so much sense they're literally soulmates. Even in fics they aren't together romantically they will always be soulmates. The way they understand each other with a look. They way luffy was so excited to see zoro in impel town only to realise it's just bon clay using his face. The way zoro is always so ready to die for luffy cause his dream is now so integrated with luffys.
Lusan - sanji is luffys babygirl especially after wci. The way luffy looked at sanji when sanji was talking about the all blue.
Zolaw - grumpy sword bfs. Like they have so much potential like why did zoro have to pull law onto his lap after dressrosa. What happened onto the journey together wano that made Law so desperate for zoro not to die. They're seen together in every scene in zou.
Zokiku - if zoro was going to be with any woman it would be a 7 foot tall samurai lady. The despair in his voice in wano when he sees her arm.
Namivivi - GIRLFRIENDS. They're so cute in little garden and alabasta. They are literally in love.
Namitash - nami and her love for strong female marines after her mum.
Namiwanda - they're so cute in zou, nami cares for her so much.
Sanuso - love love love them they're such cute bfs. The way sanji is so protective of usopp.
Usokaya - the cutest childhood friends to lovers
Sanjiviola - the only woman with an appropriate age without making sanji look like a predator. They were actually so cute in dressrosa.
Acesan - ace was flirting. Ace was sanjis bi awakening.
Frobin - PARENTS AHH I LOVE THEM. They had so much chemistry in enies lobby, thriller bark and punk hazard. Robin making fun of him and playing nonchalant as her way of flirting, and franky being bold in how he shows his interest in her. Frankys speech saying she deserves to live.
I'm a bit of a sucker for the Robin jinbei franky and Brook polycule I can't lie... they just work.
Tbh the east blue polycule is also so cute, like the east blue boys are namis boys.
There's probably more i can't think right now I'll add more if I think of more
