Is no one going to mention that he didn’t even kidnap Persephone?
Originally she was named Kore, and one day while wandering around she found an entrance to the Underworld, escaped her handmaidens and watchers, and just decided to go explore. Now while everyone above the surface is panicking looking everywhere for her she’s just having a grand old time riding the river styx and chatting up the souls in Eslyium. Probably laughing at the spirits in Tartarus and playing pranks on everyone in the Fields of Asphodel.
And then Hades finds out and he’s just like “Um, you know everyone is looking for you right? You’re mom is making everyone and everything up there die.”
And Kore (because her name is still Kore at this point) looks at him and basically goes “Oh really? Thats nice.” And goes right back to what she’s doing and Hades shrugs his shoulders and basically goes alright you can stay, while lowkey falling in love with her.
But the real shit goes down when Hermes goes down there to try and force her to leave and after arguing for awhile she just goes “Ok” because it is her father and king ordering her and she maybe kind of misses her mom, but sneaky snake Kore grabs a pomengranate on the way out and eats a few of the seeds knowing full well that she would have to stay in the underworld for that specific amount of time now. And then when Zeus finds out he gets all pissy and goes “ok then, well your name is Persephone now so ha!” and blows a rassberry and the newly dubbed Persephone is fine with it and is just like “YES THIS IS AWESOME” because before her name meant something along the way of child, but now her name is destroyer of worlds.
And then after appeasing her mom and making sure she isn’t killing anyone anymore she just goes right back to the underworld and Hades is in love with her and in awe of her and she basically says “I ate those seeds to stay down here, mainly becasue of you” And Hades just goes “MARRY ME! PLEASE! I BEG YOU!” and she just smiles and says “Ok!” probably while giving olympus a huge middle finger.
And that is my ted talk and why I freaking love Hades and Persephone. The real original version. Not the one that makes him act ooc and like a creep. That is the tea.
