“Ahh, Perry the Platypus! Behold: the INFINITY GAUNTLET!…. Inator. With one snap of my fingers as I collect the sixth stone, I will have infinite power, enough to…. create more resources for the entire planet! They will WORSHIP me as a hero, and I will take over the ENTIRE TRI STATE AREA!” “What? Kill half of all people? What kind of crazy person would do that?”
“You see, Perry the Platypus, when I was growing up, my parents only let me eat half of all my meals.”
I read all of this in his voice
Happy pride!! reminder that cishet aces aren’t lgbt!!!
Happy Pride!! Reminder that all aces are lgbt, and exclusionists can die mad about it!!
happy pride and reminder that you literally have to be oppressed to be apart of the lgbt community, along with the fact that you have to be something other than cis or het! happy pride and stay safe!
Happy pride and a GENEROUS reminder that being LGBTQIA is not on oppression contest, but while on the subject, Asexuals DO in fact, face oppression in the forms of corrective r*ape, r*ape threats, erasure, abuse, exclusion, physical violence (usually from spouses, family and partners), religious abuse and many commit suicide from being told over and over again that they are subhuman and broken. Also BIG reminder that to be Asexual means you lack sexual attraction, so Because you are not sexually attracted to people of your gender or people of the opposite gender; therefore you cannot be “HETEROSEXUAL” as in cisHET.
Aphobes and exclusionists do not actually give a shit about your safety or your pride, they are only concerned about gatekeeping, and their spot on the “Hierarchy” of who (they think) is more oppressed, while simultaneously being biggoted themselves.
Stay safe from bigots, ESPECIALLY the ones in your own community. Remember you are valid, you belong, and your struggles are real.
You ARE part of the LGBTQIA (there is an A for a reason) and be proud of your Asexuality. 💜🖤💜🖤
ah I see, so what you’re saying is that asexuals experience oppression in the forms of [rape culture], [rape culture], [rape culture], [misogyny], [not oppression], [misogyny/rape culture], [rape culture], [rape culture]. I see, thank you, you’re a true scholar
Do you even hear yourself???? Corrective rape happens to Asexuals Because people think they can “cure” them of their Asexuality or they feel they are OWED sex. Just like it happens to ANY OTHER LGBTQIA GROUP. it’s ALL rape culture and it’s ALL oppressive. The very REASON most of these happen to Asexuals is BECAUSE THEY DARED DISCLOSE THEIR ASEXUALITY TO SOMEONE AND THAT PERSON DECIDED TO TAKE IT UPON THEMSELVES TO “FIX” THEM.
Oh and I saw your other post saying “Asexuals are not oppressed for not wanting sex, you all have worms for brains”
And this is what I’m talking about. Most aphobia comes from people simply trying to gatekeep for the sake of gatekeeping and from a lack of understanding on what Asexuality really IS.
Asexuality is NOT “not wanting/liking sex” that’s low libido.
Asexuality is not having sexual ATTRACTION to ANYONE. And in this hyper sexualized world, people just can’t handle the fact that people are not sexually attracted to them. So they rape, they assault, the put down, they abuse and they degrade us. There’s no reason why we SHOULD be discriminated against, because yeah! Why should anyone get SO UPSET over us not having sexual attraction? Yet HERE WE ARE.
PREACH IT!
👏 Stop👏Romanticizing👏Persephone 👏And 👏 Hades 👏 Relationship 👏
The older versions of the myth actually suggest she went to the Underworld willingly and chose to stay to get away from her mother. Some of the oldest myths don’t even include Hades in the story but rather have Persephone go down to tend to the miserable souls she heard in the ground without Hades even interacting with her.
There is no “pre-patriarchal” version of the Persephone myth where she rules the Underworld on her own and Hades isn’t present.

Please stop spreading this crap and misinforming people.
Persephone was however, empowered by her marriage to Hades. Placing her in a pre-patriarchal context, devoid of her greatest challenges and triumphs REDUCES her agency as a goddess and a feminist figure.
Who said pre-patriarchal? Because I sure didn’t. I’m just saying there are older versions of the myth such as the ones listed on this site:
http://tehomet.net/persephone.html
I’m not trying to misinform people. I’m trying to inform people of older versions of the myth they, much like yourself, might be unaware of. And seriously, pre-patriarchal? I literally never said that, nor have I ever used that term before now. But yeah, sure, go ahead and use that word all you like. Not like a version of the story where she became the badass queen of the Underworld all on her own without needing a man behind her makes her even more of a feminist figure as opposed to someone who was empowered BY her relationship to a MAN.
*Facepalms*
Oh wow, you read a website.
Now can you tell me the ancient sources that this story is referring to. Or at least some sources that are peer-reviewed and written by Classics PhDs.
The only source that states a “Persephone wonders down to the Underworld” tale is written by Charlene Spretnak in 1992 who, by her own admission, rewrote the myths so that her four year old daughter could read them and gain an interest in mythology. The tale is in itself a beautiful tale, but is a modern invention.
The actual tale of “Hades and Persephone” is found in Hesiod’s Theogony and The Homeric Hymn To Demeter.
Persephone’s empowerment came from the fact that her husband loved her so much that, despite living in a patriarchal society, he ensured that the would be his equal in everything. Besides this, the tale was written for women as it details the struggles that women faced then.
Persephone was quite often the goddess that many would call upon for aid. The tale of Orpheus is an excellent example of how they ruled together and made decisions together, with Persephone being able to persuade him to change his mind.
Hades and Persephone’s marriage was the ideal for the time and were often portrayed on the vases given to newlyweds. The were always portrayed as having loving, supportive marriage and he was the only major god that never had an affair (don’t believe that Roman bullshit).
Alright well, what I was talking about was the versions where Hades kidnaps his niece, bribes Zeus to not do anything, and Persephone is sad and depressed and only gets to see her mother, who she loves dearly, for half the year every year.
I wasn’t aware of the actual marriage they’re said to have had, which gave them happiness. It still makes me salty that people assumes she LOVES him though. She doesn’t feel towards him romantically, but their marriage is strong from m their partnership.
Zeus was not, quote, “bribed” not to do anything. In fact, everything that Hades did in the myth was legal.
Ancient Athenian wedding preparations began under cover of night with the bride being ‘abducted’ to the groom’s house in a chariot. The groom would give the bride gifts, and the families would feast together. During the ceremony, the bride would eat a piece of fruit given to her by her husband, typically an apple or pomegranate, to signify that her needs were now going to be provided for by her husband. Later, after the ceremony, the marriage was consummated.
In the myths, Zeus had earlier promised Hades his choice of wife since he was given the Underworld as his lot. Hades desired Persephone as his bride and arranges the marriage with Persephone’s father.
He presents a gift to her (the narcissus flower in the field of Nysa) and after Persephone accepts it by pulling it from the earth, he takes her into his chariot to bring her with him to her new home.
He gives her further honours once she gets to the Underworld to show his commitment and love for her Persephone eats pomegranate seeds given to her by Hades, signifying that she is bound to Hades as his wife.
Scholars believe that it was after the seeds, that Hades and Persephone consummated the marriage before Persephone went to see Demeter to assure her that she was all right.
The stretch of time between Kore’s transformation into Persephone is anywhere from a couple months to a year in the hymn— nine days between Demeter’s search and finding out from Hecate and Helios that Aidoneus had carried away her daughter, and the few months to a year she spends in Eleusis at her newly-built temple the Telesterion refusing to speak with the Olympians.
Even when Persephone is recounting her stay to her mother, she says nothing about ravishment, or rape, or seduction. Not a single word, whereas the writers would have made that abundantly clear in other texts about the abductions of other women. Basically there is no real evidence that she was ill-treated, abused, raped or in general badly treated by Hades; in fact, the HHTD directly mentions that Persephone was a guest of honour in Hades’ household.
Hades gets the bad rap in modern society even though he was the only Greek god who remained faithful to his wife because he became a Satan analogue after the rise of Christian monotheism and trinitarianism.
The original myth was a warning parable and morality tale of sorts, meant for its ancient audience… a morality parable that no longer resonates with modern society because women are no longer the property of their father or husband.
The moral of the story is this: you should respect and consult with your wife and speak with your daughter before marrying her off, otherwise life at home will be a living hell, not just for the father, but also the new husband.
Demeter makes Zeus’ life very difficult because he did not consult her in his choice of husband for Persephone. She sends a blight on all of Zeus’ worshippers until he fixes what he did without her consent.
Likewise, Persephone unwittingly accepted the marriage proposal of Hades without knowing that she had been given to him and resisted being taken away to be his wife. However, once she realizes how genuine Hades’ love is for her, as seen when he gives her the gift of equality in both rulership and marriage, as well as a portion of his own timai (honor) the honor bestowed upon him by mortals, she comes to the decision to accept the pomegranate seeds, thereby accepting his offer as a husband. The acceptance of the seeds in myth is a code for sexual intercourse since this was the last gift offering by the groom before consummating his marriage with the bride.
Once Persephone is with Demeter again, she lies about the pomegranate seeds, telling her mother that Hades ‘forced’ her to eat them, though we already know that all he did was slip her the pomegranate and she accepted in secret before she was about to be taken away.
This is despite the fact that Hades gave her the chance to leave and never have to see her again and well, she had plenty of reasons to accept his marriage.
Intriguingly enough, there are Ancient sources that support Persephone loving Hades.
Virgil, Georgics 1. 36 ff (trans. Fairclough) (Roman bucolic C1st B.C.)
“Tartarus hopes not for you [Caesar in the guise of Hades] as king, and may such monstrous lust of empire never seize you, though Greece is enchanted by the Elysian fields, and Proserpine reclaimed cares not to follow her mother.”
–> Persephone prefers to stay with Hades than returning to her mother.
Ovid, Metamorphoses, X:
Orpheus singing to Hades and Persephone:
“If able, I would bear it, I do not deny my effort—but the god of Love has conquered me—a god so kindly known in all the upper world. We are not sure he can be known so well in this deep world, but have good reason to conjecture he is not unknown here, and if old report almost forgotten, that you stole your wife is not a fiction, Love united you the same as others.”
–> Just like in Metamorphoses V, love is shown as something that unites two persons. More specifically, it is directly mentioned by Orpheus that Hades and Persephone are united in love.
Lucan, Pharsalia, VI:
The witch Erichtho calls upon the Underworld deities to allow her to bring back a dead person.
“…to Persephone who shuns her mother in heaven…”
“… I shall tell the world the nature of that food which confines Persephone beneath the huge weight of earth, the bond of love that unites her to the gloomy king of night, and the defilement she suffered, such that her mother would not call her back.”
–> Persephone is directly mentioned to have a dislike towards her mother, Demeter, and is specifially mentioned to have a bond of love with Hades. The so-called ‘defilement’ is a direct reference to the pomegrante and the loss of her virginity (In that time period, a virgin having sex was referred to as “defilement”).
Claudian, Rape of Proserpina
The brief summary of this is that while Hades is taking Persephone to the Underworld, a terrified Persephone cries and laments her fate. But Hades feels genuine remorse for the fact that he had to abduct her and comforts Persephone by wiping away her tears and swearing to her a good marriage. Immediately after this happens, Hades is no longer a gloomy and frightening figure to Persephone but is instead a cheerful and kind god. Persephone immediately perks up once she is aware of her situation (she is simply getting married), and a beautiful and joyful wedding is held at the underworld.
It’s a shame that Claudian never managed to finish his tale because it’s a beautiful take and directly hints at the fact that Hades and Persephone had children as this theme is brought up several times.
Lucian’s Dialogues of the dead
A man asks Hades permission to go back to life and he refuses constantly until Persephone gives a suggestion. Persephone addresses Hades as “my husband” and he says “Since it’s Persephone’s pleasure (I grant the favor)” or “I cannot refuse a lady”.
–> Despite the short dialogue, we can easily see that Hades and Persephone are depicted as possessing a peaceful marriage and are presented as a couple who rule with equal power, unlike the dialogues of Zeus and Hera where she actually cries for the things Zeus does to her (cheating).
And we can see generally, from the vase paintings or other texts (like Aristophanes Frogs) that the Greeks were in the belief that Hades and Persephone marriage was ideal. And in several religious cults, and in some cities, they would be the divine parallel of what an ideal marriage should be.
In the depictions (literary, artistic, etc.) where Hades and Persephone are shown together, they are always shown to be happy. Persephone is never portrayed as a miserable wife and Hades is never portrayed as a cruel husband. Hades and Persephone were idealized by ancient Greek women themselves.
It’s Hades and Persephone, not Zeus and Hera, who were depicted on pottery given to newlyweds. The fact that Persephone was much more prominent as a happily married queen, rather than the actual goddess of marriage, speaks volumes to how this story was thought about and regarded by the culture that owned it.
When the folklorists and mythologists have had enough.

Hillier was suspended in late February for allegedly directing the words “yada, yada, yada” at parents of children with autism who were watching debate over changes to the Ontario Autism Program.
Global News has obtained a letter sent by Lanark-Frontenac-Kingston MPP Randy Hillier to a small group of constituents in which he lashes out at the government and the Progressive Conservative Party of Ontario for what he calls “childish grievances.”
Hillier was suspended in late February for allegedly directing the words “yada, yada, yada” at parents of children with autism who were in the public gallery to watch debate over changes to the Ontario Autism Program. He issued an apology for the remarks, stating that his comments were directed at a member of the Opposition and not at parents.
Global News subsequently reported that the Ontario cabinet recommended Hillier be permanently kicked out of the PC party caucus.
In the letter obtained by Global News, Hillier wrote: “The truth behind my removal, however, is not due to banter in the House but long-standing tensions between me and Doug Ford’s most senior advisers (Dean French and Chris Froggatt) over what is expected of MPPs in the PC caucus.”
Hillier also alleged that this is not the first incident in which he has encountered attempted coercion and pressure by “backroom party operatives to co-opt my role as an MPP.” He said when he challenged the suspension, “backroom operatives” gave him a “laundry list of questionable and childish grievances.”
“I don’t stand and clap for ministers enough in the House, I wasn’t actively retweeting or sharing Facebook posts about the government’s activities, and that I was ‘putting my constituents and local stakeholders ahead of Party business,’” Hillier said he was told.
