Just watched a 3 hour video-essay about greek mythology, and goddamn am i jealous. Why can't a king fall in love with my girlfriend, then steal her. After which i go on a 17 year long voyage to find her, during which i anger between 17 to 42 different gods, who then turn me into a sheep with breadsticks for legs that can only communicate with tongue-clicking. And in order to undo the curse i have to travel to the underworld and preform the most bedazzling dance in front of Hades, making him burst into tears of joy.
Anyways, pretty interesting stuff that mythlogy. Can recommend.

literally referencing Orpheus and Eurydice was the first thing that popped into my head lol
but this is also a common trope of Near-Eastern/"Oriental" (read: Arabic/Sanskrit etc.) mythology, of starcrossed lovers like Majnun and Laila. There's also Bollywood; a dramatic (always, but it's so good) ending scene in Devdas that imo references the Orpheus-Eurydice dynamic, but also maybe the whole movie has themes of it?

It‘s this anime about a guy who due to a clerical error in heaven is destined to have 100 soulmates. If he doesn’t return the feelings and date any of them the girl will die for some reason? He’s a GOOD GUY so he thinks polyamory is detestable, but selflessly puts that aside so that he can have 100 girlfriends who are alive. He kisses all of them almost every episode and I think that’s really nice of him. It‘s a sort of “I love all 100 of my girlfriends equally” kind of thing

You gotta love to be loved. You gotta make a risk for real human connection - it’ll never come easy. You gotta be dumb, vulnerable, apologetic, angry - you gotta live.
You gotta love to be loved and sometimes you need to see big robots duking it out with aliens to remember that.

I'm also pretty new, but from what i've gathered it's basically an ad-free, algorithm-free way to connect with other people. Sharing things you like, asking questions and recommending things. A way to share a more real version of yourself than you are able to do on other platforms.
