if you ever think mythology is boring or serious business or whatever shit

just remember that cerberus, the hell-hound and guard dog of the underworld, comes from the root indo-european word ḱerberos, which evolved into the greek word kerberos, which got changed to cerberus when it went from greek to latin

ḱerberos means “spotted”

that’s right

hades, lord of the dead, literally fucking named his pet dog spot

That, “come on quick, hit you like a brick, deeply in love after 1 week” kind of love never works out. 

The kind of love that works is when you watch your best friend eat a whole large pizza, listen to them burp, and still want to be around them and maybe even kiss them all night. 

Yes. This.
