the pressure to experience different things in high school is so dumb like that’s a super short period of your life lol you’ve got all the time in the world it literally doesn’t matter if you didn’t get laid in high school or if you’re 22 and haven’t had a girlfriend yet, you’ve probably got like 60+ years to do all that stuff THERES NO RUSH!!! Take your time!!! especially if you’re gay lmao most gays haven’t even figured themselves out when they’re 16, the idea that it’s weird to start dating for the first time after high school is straight propaganda

modern hades and persephone where persephone is a tired college student and when she finds out the god of the underworld wants to make her his bride she’s like “become queen of the dead AND never have to go to an 8 AM lecture again, not to mention watch with popcorn as my ex dies and finds out my new boyfriend is his new king? YES PLZ” and just fucking swandives down into the underworld and hades is like “…i had a carriage prepared but okay that works too”
