Fun fact: My Gambit print design is probably the oldest one I have that I'm still selling to this day! All other designs made around this time I've since updated but this one has stayed the same. Maybe its time for an update?

Persephone captain marvel au. Hear me out.
Associated with duality, reincarnation, resurrection, childhood innocence (and it getting ripped away by adults), and her 'counterpart' Kore, which is her in her returning aspect of spring, youthfulness, new life... Come on. Is that not the closest thing to Billy you've ever seen in ancient Greece? Where he gets his powers?
It all starts with Teth Adam, and his devastation at the death of his son. He finds the old paths, breaks them open, and storms down into the underworld to demand him back. His is not a new story.
But where Persephone might ordinarily be inclined to ease her husband's scorn, give the troubled mourner a chance, she is speaking to the champion of magic, the world's mightiest mortal. The chance of success is too high. The challenge would not be enough. The death was too high profile and would risk too many attempting to follow in his footsteps. The man is too unstable, too powerful, too close to the heart of magic for it to be safe - for any of him - to grant his wish and risk his false hope.
They deny him.
Enraged, implacable, Teth Adam lashes out. The battle is long and drawn out, neither side tiring even as both weaken, but Persephone, in either form, is not one of war, and she is felled as her curses shatter, her furies tossed aside like dolls. The sound of Hades' scream as Adam's surprise leaves him open flattens the rubble of their throne room.
The wounded champion escapes, hounded by cerberus and skeletons instead of his son's shade, as her husband crashes to his knees beside her. She has not a mortal soul, and thus will be going where even Death cannot reach.
But Adam killed the goddess of reincarnation, and Billy has odd dreams. He's pretty sure he needs to ease up on the stress. He's restless in winter and distracted in summer, he can sleep outside in howling storms as long as he's tucked snug in the boughs of a tree, he's had the luck of never tasting a rotten fruit. Sometimes it feels like there's ghosts in his hideouts and the kids at school try and bribe him to curse their enemies.
When he chosen to be Captain Marvel the wizard chokes on his own speech when the smoke clears. They stare at each other.
"Well," says Persephone, "that was unexpected. Hullo."
"Hello," the wizard replies, "I was under the impression..."
"I don't think the laws of interference quite apply until I'm immortal again," he says.
The wizard's relief is palpable. It's understandable, he looks ready to keel over from old age. "Can I ask...?" he gestures at the new body. It takes a second to understand.
"Oh, I'm a boy now. For a while."
And that's that.
Until green lantern is killed in battle.

i am actually SO sick of people making these like "pov you're the red rooms best widow" or "youre working with the winter soldier" playlists and its just fucking like bad blood by taylor swift and fucking katy perry like okay we get it you think all that torture and trauma is sexy and cool like no being a widow or an asset would not be sexy and fun its literally being forced to kill and being tortured like stfu and stop minimizing bucky and natashas trauma.
if you want to make and cool and fun playlist about your favorite characters and movies, DONT MAKE IT MINIMIZE THE LITERAL MIND CONTROL AND TORTURE OF/IN THESE CHARACTERS/MOVIES FFS

not gonna lie, while there are many ways aromantic people can navigate relationships, there is something very frustrating about seeing aro characters having that part of their identity ignored for the sake of shipping
at worst people will just pretend that part of the character's identity doesn't exist, and at best they will put them in a relationship and say "oh in this version they are romance favorable" but it's basically an alloromantic relationship with the word aro slapped on top
like i think many aspects of the aromantic experience should be represented! but something rubs me funny with allo ppl either ignoring aro characters who don't like romance and writing qprs as 'romance lite' bc the harder it is to pretend a character ISNT allo, the more uncomfortable they seem to get
