The story starts off with a jealous goddess, Venus, the goddess of luuuvvvvvv. She was jealous of this amazingly beautiful mortal girl named Psyche because all da boyz were worshiping this insignificant mortal instead of the lovely goddess. Ruh-roh. Venus asked her son Cupid to shoot an arrow at Psyche so she'd fall in love with a monster and it would be totally hilarious, man. Of course it would be funny, Venus; all of your plans go so well, right?! So Cupid accidentally shoots himself with the arrow and he falls in love with Psyche instead. OOPS SORRY MOM I MESSED UP. At some point, Psyche's parents talk to the Oracle of Delphi to ask about Psyche's love life (because all parents wanna know about their kids' love lives), and they discover that she's destined to marry a monster. They're totally not chill with that, so they decide to drop their daughter off by a cliff and they say goodbye so that she and her future monster-boo can't interfere in their lives! Yay! Well, Psyche's not happy with this (who would be?) so she gets dramatic and jumps off the cliff. BUT WAIT PLOT TWIST a wind god saves her and sends her to a secluded palace (hmmm... CUPID'S PALACE PERHAPS?!!?!?!?!?) where she's waited on by servants and is treated well and dangg gurl your luck has turned upside-down! Cupid's sees Psyche and he's like, "oh hey there's the girl I'm in love with! I wanna go talk to her! But what if she's scared of my humongo wings? Well, I guess I'll just tell her never to look at me! Yep! That'll do the trick! She'll totally listen to me!" So Cupid does all this stuff. He talks up Psyche and eventually she falls in love with Cupid yaaaayyyy happiness, right?! Wrong. Psyche's got these two sisters, right? Well, they come by for a visit and they are totes jelly of their beautiful sister's new life in a palace with servants and all that jazz. So they make Psyche feel insecure by telling her that her boothaaang is probs a monster and that she should probs snag a look at the dude. Psyche's all, "Yeah, I'll totes do that you guyz byyeee." So she sneaks a look at Cupid while he's sleeping and he freaks out and bails on her. Wow talk about some insecurities on both parts of this relationship? Anyway, Venus comes back and tells her that she can't see her boo again until she sorts grain. So she sorts this huge pile of grain (with the help of ants?) and then Venus is like, "crap, I didn't think you'd finish that uh oh YOU HAVE TO DO MORE IMPOSSIBLE TASKS HAHAHAHA SUCK IT." So Psyche tries to do all these impossible tasks, and she can't until Cupid helps her out because he still loves her and then she finishes them all and then she and Cupid live happily ever after yaaaaaayyy they even have a partaay on Mt. Olympus! WOOO! TRUE LOVE MAN TRUE LOVE
So what's the best love story ever? Well, I have a giant list of pairings that I could tell you about (Remadora, Percabeth, Jily, etc.), but most of them end unhappily, and that wouldn't be a good love story, would it? Well, it would, but it would be sad.
Anyway, I'll still tell you a happy one that you've all heard of: Pride and Prejudice. I'm sorry guys, I'm just sort of in love with Darcy/Elizabeth. I mean they're just SO EFFING CUTE GUYS. SO. CUTE. They're both witty and beautiful and they just go through a bunch of crap and then they get a happy ending? Amazing? Yes? Plus they started off hating each other I mean what's cuter than people who start off hating each other and then they fall in love? Not much? Yeah? Ugh anyway I'll just shut up now and throw in some of burdge's art and some internet pictures of the cuties.
