[ Yui wants to believe Mikoshiba, she does. He's a good friend. But to be fair- he's been trying to get them together since he met them, it's hard to tell what to take with a grain of salt when it comes to her love life. Which is what prompts her to seek a little anonymous internet help... ]

I know there are a lot of opinions that go around about different species around here...

What about romance between them?

If one were an immortal being or deity, and the other person was a young human... would that be acceptable?

I can't help but think there would be some problems, and I don't want to put anyone through unnecessary trouble or heartache. I don't even know if it's really reciprocated so maybe this is strange to ask in the first place, but I have much experience with dating at all. I'm nervous and after a recent incident, things keep feeling strange whenever I'm around him. I tried to talk it over with a friend, but there were so many confusing parts. Everything else I've thought of as a reason not to are things that we can work on if he felt the same way, but...

It can't be that simple, can it?

            Thank you,

No, that wouldn't be acceptable. Miscegenation is always wrong. Unless you actually want to be harassed by a jealous Hera or something.

But there's another reason you should stay single forever: you asked strangers on the internet for help regarding a very personal and very strange issue. Which means you're probably retarded and shouldn't even think about reproducing.

[Oh go die in a hole already, just because no one listened to what you said about the Guardian candidates.]

I feel this place would be better off if you never reproduced, frankly. We hardly need idiots spreading such toxic lies to their children.

Hera-san and Zeus-san aren't involved in this, thankfully. Zeus-san and I don't see eye to eye... He's pretty scary too. I've never met Hera-san and I imagine she sees a different side to him than most of us do, especially since Hades-san, Dionysus-san, and Apollon-san are good people.

Regardless though... When you tell someone they're stupid for asking it makes your opinion have a lot less impact, even if you had been in the right mythology set.

[Well, you know, it's probably better that she generally keeps off of the network because she's absolutely infuriated by this. Good job.]

Excuse you? [Honestly, the cyborg is absolutely pissed off by this simply because she feels this is more of an attack than it ought to be.]

If someone needs advice, then who are you to tell them what they can and can't do? On top of that, whoever "Hera" is doesn't matter in the slightest here. Humans and other beings have control of their own destinies, opinions from others be damned.

Mon Dieu, have you no manners! Everyone needs a second opinion sometimes, and what is wrong asking strangers for advise if one wants an unbiased opinion?

[The question gave Izanami pause for thought. Would she ever forge a relationship with a human? Of course, the question soon twisted in her mind to 'Would a human ever see you as someone desirable? Wouldn't they just be afraid of you, or find you repulsive?'

She quickly shook those thoughts away.

There wasn't anything wrong with the thought, Izanami supposed, and although she was probably the worst person to give advice on this topic, she decided to humour it regardless.]

As a God...dating a human is not something I've ever thought about. I have met pleasant enough people since arriving here, yet I doubt a relationship would work unless we learnt not to fear each other.

...I doubt that makes sense.

Gods are vulnerable, and capable of love just as humans are.

Re: [Anon Text]

[graduations]

there's only one god I've ever really been scared of and that's because he kidnapped us and threatened to turn us to stone if we didn't obey him... I haven't met any god here I would be scared of.

If this is who I think, it makes sense. I hope you find someone whether they're human or not.

[beautifulmidboss]

Of course it's possible. There will always be judgemental idiots around, as you have already seen, but love can blossom between different kinds. Between humans and Gods, or demons, or angels.

As you said, there will be problems to work through, as with any relationship...perhaps the main thing to consider is the fact that your lifespans are so vastly different. If that is something he is happy with, I see no reason why you two couldn't be together. After all, love is truly the most beautiful of emotions.

[Flonne may not be here, but Vyers is nearly as much of a love freak as she is. Although he'd given up his memories of what the feeling felt like, he at least felt he could offer this person some insight.]

Thank you. It's a little complicated beyond him being a god too, but I think my friend was right about at least talking to him about everything...

I don't want him to suffer if he does feel that way about me though..

[koishi_komeiji]

There was fumbling before Koishi appeared on screen. "Well, yes. Of course it's possible. But it's also a taboo. I'm a youkai and I've lived a very long time and I've heard many stories about relationships between humans and youkai. As you mentioned before though it's bound to end badly. the stories I've heard end with the two running away and the human dying of age or it ends with the two not running away and the youkai getting killed by an angry mob... The surviving party in either case may or may not commit suicide. It depends on the tale."

She tilted her head. "Though I suppose if you could find a means to make yourself immortal then there isn't any issue with running away. Likewise if you could make the immortal into a mortal creature safely. Both are possible."

Re: [Video]

I don't think we would run away and humans aren't typically the ones who have problems with this good, even if he didn't used to like us..

[ but a lot of gods and goddesses seemed to have problems with Loki from what she had heard. That could be dangerous. ]

All that matters is that you care about them. Besides, Thoth always said the gods acted immature! It’s just like in the Cinderella play. They were different, but they loved eachother.

Oh! But you do not know Thoth, do you, Anonymous?

If only things were that simple.

But that still doesn't mean that you shouldn't, if it's something that you both want. As long as you both understand the risks and the consequences before taking that step, then who is anyone else to stop you?

But you won't know if you don't talk to them and find out if their feelings are the same as your's.

I'm not sure that he wants this, but that seems to be the majority opinion. That it will be difficult, but I shouldn't give up without talking to him. Maybe I should've just listened to my friend to begin with..

I don't know about magic, but.. when I'm around him lately, even just talking to him, it feels different than it used to. 'Magic' would probably be the best way to describe it, even if lately it feels like I've been holding my breath trying to keep from saying something I shouldn't.

[Ohhh boy, hello there issue she knows far, far too well.]

You'll never know unless you give it a shot, you know? Just talk to them about it and see how they feel, but if the case is the deity/immortal and human bit? Make sure you mention the eventual loss there and what will happen when that does. You don't want heartache because the immortal being hasn't realized that humans have such a short lifespan.

Take it from experience, you'll be better off knowing that you have to take a lifespan into account.

[Even if she's not technically immortal, she'll certainly outlive her own husband and this is absolutely something she's contemplated and had discussions about.]

And no one will know what's better for a possible relationship than those that are involved in it. So asking for anything more than general advice is a terrible idea, in my opinion.

<font face="Courier'>Someone suggested that I find a way to not be human when talking about lifespan... but I don't want to cause him heartache either. I think if it were me, though, heartache would be worth something meaningful.

Not all relationships will stay strong or perfect forever; few relationships, if any, do. That a relationship might eventually fail is not a reason to never have one. Heartache isn't something to be avoided at all costs, in fact it is something that should be cherished, no matter how painful it might be at the time. Love lost is an important part of who we are, who we become. If you'll end up regretting a decisions either way, isn't it better to regret the experiences you had rather than the ones you never did?

The most important thing is honesty in a relationship, with each other and with yourselves. Love often means different things to different people, and when you deal with people on different levels of existence, the problem only becomes more extreme. Don't be surprised if there are different expectations, stakes, and emotions felt on each side.

Good luck, either way.

Rather than it not lasting, I'd be worried about things like what happened with Apollon-san and Cassandra-san...

You should do whatever your heart feels is right. It doesn't matter what others think. What matters is your own happiness in the end.

If you feel a connection with them, no matter what/who they are, you should know in your heart if you need to pursue it or not.

It's something I don't understand. Love between two species. I say this because simply where I came from while two species getting together was a thing. What formed from that was something people treated like shit because of what they are.

So while everyone might say it's a good thing ad to go for it. You should also consider the fact that they could be telling you pretty little lies or believe it so long as nothing more comes from it. If it does always expect the worse to happen.

It sounds like quite the romantic drama there, Mademoiselle or Monsieur. [ He loves romantic tales. ]

I cannot say that I have the experience to back my opinion up by facts as I have never been in a relationship with any deity or immortal being, however I bo believe that the problem of different life spans, if you will forgive my directness, may present some issue, unless it can be overcome somehow. After all, humans do live fairly short life, I'm afraid.

However, if you do harbor romantic feelings toward this person you are speaking of, then the first step would always be to see if he reciprocates, or if there is a chance of it in the future. After that you simply make your advances, dear, and be as direct as necessity requires of you.

[graduations]

Mademoiselle, though that sounds a little formal...

I know.. we've had a conversation about age before. Physically, he's around the same age as me, but I'm probably just a little blip on his lifespan..

YOu may be right, though I'm not sure what you mean by advances after the confession. That'd just be normal things after that, wouldn't it?

[ A+ first relationship Yui. ]

[Audio] Locked

[frostheartedrose]

To my experience, such a match never leads to a happily forever after. A human can only hope to live for fifty to eighty years, and my species can live up to ten thousand. You'd only be around for less than one percent of that time. If the longer-lived partner fell hard, they'd be in mourning for far longer than their lover was around.

[After a slightly hesitant pause.]

As for the more personal side... I have yet to experience humans fully accepting one of their own pairing off with a non-human. The better outcome is being expelled from normal human society and being tolerated within the non-humans. At worst... Well, we did find enough pieces of my step-mother to give her a good funeral. We never found her unborn baby.

I understand that the age difference and lifespan is a problem... That's been a lot of what people brought up, but I don't think either of us are really at a stage where we know if we'd want to spend our lives together anyway... I haven't even confessed or know if he likes me in that way yet.

I'm sorry about your step-mother...

No. I don't imagine it matters, really. Especially not here, not where people come and go, death isn't permanent--Genessia is the one place, in fact, where it wouldn't be as much of a problem as it might be somewhere else. [Sometimes, SOMETIMES KASHIMA CAN USE HER BRAIN.]

Besides, if you feel strongly enough about him to ask people like this, then you really ought to talk with him about it. It's clearly important to you. And emotions this strong--you've got to talk about them, honestly. Otherwise, you'll just be unhappy and worry about whether or not you should have.

I knew the god before this world, but not from my own.. so it's a little more complicated in that aspect, I think?

So you're saying.. the more nervous I am about this, the more important it obviously is. I guess I should've thought of that...
