thoodleoo:

• spend an evening describing your lover’s beauty to them and compare them to the gods, only to be cursed for the rest of your life for daring to insult the gods in such a fashion
• take your lover on a romantic walk by a lake or ocean, then spend the rest of your life lamenting because a beautiful nymph fell in love with them and drowned them in the lake in an attempt to abduct them from you, leaving you to wander the earth in eternal sadness, alas
• go on a vacation to the underworld, in which you cannot actually see your lover’s face, because you are trying to rescue them from the clutches of hades after their untimely death and part of the deal is that you cannot look back at them as you lead them to the land of the living, else they will be lost to you forever
• for all of you kinksters out there, commission a mad scientist to craft a cow suit for you so that you and your oddly bovine lover can get down and dirty in a more natural way
• take your lover out for a romantic dinner, only to be interrupted by zeus, who finds your lover so ravishing that he has come to claim them for his own. attempt to fight zeus and end up also becoming his lover.
• to keep the romance alive, get lost on a sea voyage for several years, leaving your partner to raise your children alone and fight off people who want to marry them until you finally return in disguise, ready to wreck shop in your own house
• fight a ten-year war together, and when your partner is killed in the line of battle because of your hubris, go on a rampage to avenge their soul so brutal that you fight a god in your rage
