i can't explain how FURIOUS i get when i remember Nico talking about Plato's tale (the myth of soul mates) in HoO5, because he genuinely believes he doesn't have a soul mate because the myth says that humans "coupled" were formed by a man and a woman.
He genuinely believes he doesn't deserve to be loved because he's gay
The worst part? The myth is WRONG, it is COMPLETELY DISTORTED
It was NEVER stated in Plato's tale that beings were hermaphrodites, if I'm not wrong he even mentions that there were three types of beings: man-man, woman-woman and woman-man
But nico di angelo has read the distorted myth and faithfully believes that he doesn't deserve to be loved, because he doesn't like women.
This relates a lot to queer people all the time faithfully believing they are "wrong" when those absolute truths that prove why you are wrong are actually lies.
Nico di Angelo read a false tale and that was enough to convince him that he is not worthy of love.
how cruel is that?
