Greek Mythology Tho

So Jason was the son of a king, whose kingdom was then taken over by his brother (Jason's uncle) and in order to keep Jason safe he was sent to another kingdom to be raised by another king. When he was old enough to claim his birthright he came to his uncle and was like "yo it's my turn to rule now" and the uncle was like "yeah sure but you gotta bring me this golden fleece" and then probably cackled evilly, I dunno. So Jason accepted and put together a group of heroes to help him go and get the fleece and so they set off. Along the way Jason meets Medea, a sorceress who promises to help Jason but only if he promises to marry him and take her back to Greece with him. They agree and she puts the dragon who was guarding the fleece to sleep and then Jason gets it and they are off on their way home wheeee. Also when they get back Jason's uncle refuses to follow his word so Jason tricks his uncle's daughters into murdering him. It's pretty dang gruesome actually and pretty much exactly what you would expect from Greek mythology. And then some time later Jason falls for another woman and then Medea goes and kills all their children and then leaves Jason all alone.

I keep trying to come up with a story of love/revenge but I'm thoroughly distracted by the fanfic I had to leave in order to do this post...so...there's that. No but seriously that is such a common theme (themes) though so it shouldn't really be that difficult. Well, Dr. Horrible's Sing-Along Blog is about love and revenge, I suppose? And I've come up with a few cartoon examples, actually. Like in Danny Phantom - the crowd starts giggling I'm sure - Danny's mom and dad are happily married, but their old friend Vlad did and still does have a thing for Maddie, his mom, but things turned south for him in high school and so Jack and Maddie got together. Leaving Vlad angry and alone. Which is why he's such a creeper and goes after Danny all the time and still tries to end up with Maddie. He's really creepy and y'know, cartoons actually have really good plots sometimes, you really shouldn't judge something just because it's a cartoon. Okay, that's it, I have a fanfic to read.
