concerned parents
Okay, I saw some uhhh...likes and reblogs on my old ass celestial au posts. And actually I started doing some redesigns recently :)
Chapter 184 - Japanese Hero Billboard Chart
One possible explanation for the pomegranate tying Persephone to the underworld has to do with Ancient Greek Marriage ceremonies.
At the end of the wedding there was a procession between the bride’s old house and her husband’s house. Sometimes by foot, sometimes on a chariot. Oftentimes the groom would drag the bride back to his house by her wrist, performing a ritual kidnapping of sorts.
When the bride reached her new home with her husband she would be offered a fruit. What kind and the general purpose of this part of the ceremony is inconsistent. But the bride taking a bite out of the fruit generally signified her acceptance of her new family and completed the wedding ceremony.
So why does the pomegranate tie Persephone to the underworld? We’ll never know for sure, but it’s possible that she didn’t accept fruit from him at first because she knew that would complete the marriage ceremony. So her eating the pomegranate, whether on purpose or because she was tricked, completes the ceremony and seals her to Hades’ household, making them officially married.
Did Persephone eat the pomegranate willingly? Idk make up your own mind on that one.

Some class 1-H headcanons for peace of mind:
Hanabusa watches nature documentaries to calm down.
Endomoto really likes trains and railways of all kinds
Hanabusa makes his own tea leaves. Endomoto likes to help harvest them. Hanabusa enjoys the company.
The entire class let a bunch of slinkies loose down the stairs, but Power Loader covered for them, saying that it was for "experimental purposes"
Hatsume isn't the only reason why Power Loader has a few more gray hairs since the start of the year.
Bushida really hates sudden loud noises.
It reminds him too much of when he lost his leg.
This puts a tiny strain on his and Hatsume's friendship at first, but Hatsume tries to tone down the noise, and eventually, Bushida gets used to it.
Daguchi knits, and when he concentrates, he stays awake for hours, just steadily knitting.
Tucker likes lavender ice cream.
Chinen's parents are divorced, and she hasn't seen her mother in a very long time.
Chinen and Hatsume did not get along for a good chunk of their first year, mainly due to creative/personality differences.
Despite Tucker's quiet and shy nature, she really likes dressing pastel colours.
Endomoto had a crush on Chinen around the beginning of first year, but ultimately realised that he likes her better as a friend.
Daguchi, Tucker, Hatsume, and Hanabusa are the sarcasm team of class 1-H
Chinen, Endomoto, and Bushida are the "Kill 'em with kindness" trio
They're a very tight-knit group; mainly because they're a small class.
When Endomoto isn't concentrating, sometimes little puffs of steam escape from his mouth.
Hatsume goes to Hanabusa and Tucker to get her locs retwisted.
Chinen has a horrible vendetta against pomegranates. Nobody knows why, and they're afraid to ask.
Hanabusa is very close with his grandmother. In contrast, Chinen is very close to her grandfather.
Hatsume's eyes glow in the dark. She has scared everyone in her class at least once, just by sitting in the dark kitchen of the dorms.
Their heights go from this order (tallest to shortest):
Bushida, Hanabusa, Tucker, Daguchi, Endomoto, Hatsume, Chinen.
Daguchi tends to lean on people a lot. Taller or shorter, it doesn't matter.
Endomoto cannot tie his tie properly, and it drives Daguchi insane.
He has a bit of a baby face
Tucker gestures with her hands a lot when she speaks.
It's very difficult to tell when Tucker and Hanabusa are joking.
Bushida is pretty tall and intimidating, but he has the personality of a golden retriever.
Out of all the students, Daguchi has the most connections to the upperclassmen, which everyone else is mystified with.
They have all called Power Loader "Dad" on purpose at least once.

"Miami Mall is trending".
Sigh. Another morning in America. I wonder what horrors happened there
"Hundreds of police cars showed up..."
Of course
"...when it's rumored on TikTok a ten-foot tall shadow alien appeared inside the mall."
It's sad how this is so expe-
wait what?
