Divine Date: Difference between revisions

 

{{examples}}

* ''[[Haruhi Suzumiya]]'' is forcefully romancing Kyon, who isn't quite sure who he wants.

* ''[[Tenchi Muyo!]]''

** Tsumugi is revealed to be so pure, she can only survive in continuous presence of a god, such as the one who resides in her shrine. So Letty goes out, [[Did You Just Flip Off Cthulhu?|badmouthes said god]], and absorbs part of her divine essence, effectively becoming a demigod herself, just so that Tsumugi can travel with her. Yeah, she's way awesome.

** Speaking of the god, she adopts Tsumugi's form and takes over the shrine so the miko can stay with Letty. She also takes Tsumugi's hidden bodyguard as a servant and spends most of her time flirting with them. Since the bodyguard had a thing for Tsumugi, this leaves her... flustered (Though apparently not unhappy).

 

== [[Comic Books]] ==

* In the spin-off of ''[[Johnny the Homicidal Maniac]]'', Squee, Squee's classmate is the son of Satan. His mother didn't realize that until ''years'' into their marriage, and comments on how it's ironic as she's "always been a good Christian woman."

* Being that any number of gods from classical myth are regular players in any number of comic titles, this is a relatively common occurrence. In ''[[The Avengers (Comic Book)|The Avengers]]'', for example, Hercules is often portrayed with various lovely young women.

* In ''[[The Sandman]]'' the eponymous character has his occasional romances with mortals. They don't seem to end well.

* In ''[[Lucifer (comics)|Lucifer]]'', Mazikeen (whose divinity is as ambiguous as a lot of the entities in the setting) maintained a relationship with the human woman Beatrice.

* ''[[Wonder Woman]]'': Cassie Sandsmark, the second Wonder Girl (or third, depending on how one counts these things), was the daughter of Zeus and mortal archaeologist Dr. Helena Sandsmark.

 

* When asked if she was a devil worshiper, [http://www.tangibledreams.net/elvira/media/motd.html Elvira] allegedly replied "I dated him once".

* Narrowly averted in ''[[The Adventures of Baron Munchausen]]''. The Baron and Venus engage in some serious flirting, but her husband manages to keep it from going too far.

 

* [[Discworld]] has a relationship between Susan and the [[Anthropomorphic Personification]] of Time, although Susan is one quarter anthropomorphic personification by adoption herself. Said anthropic personification of Time is also the son of a different anthropic personification of Time with a human man.

** She also had a brief fling with a former angel of Rock and Roll.

* Any mortal dating an [[Incarnations of Immortality|Incarnation]] could count.

 

* [[Russell T. Davies]]'s ''[[The Second Coming (TV series)|The Second Coming]]'' ends on a date between [[Meaningful Name|Judith]], a normal human woman, and her life-long friend Steven Baxter, a bloke who just happened to discover he was the son of God. {{spoiler|She ends up killing him.}}

* Becky, the fangirl expy, from ''[[Supernatural (TV series)|Supernatural]]'' {{spoiler|was dating Chuck for a while, who, as it turns out, was actually God.}}

 

* [[Classical Mythology|Zeus]] in particular seemed to want to [[Mars Needs Women|bone anything with boobs and a vagina]].

** [[Extreme Omnisexual|You're crediting Zeus with too much discernment.]]

** Aphrodite was fairly notorious in this regard as well, as one might expect from a Goddess of Love (and Sexuality). It wasn't just the girls who got the benefit of divine company.

 

* Gods are unusually accessible in the world of ''[[Exalted]]'', so this is a fairly common trope. Even more so if you count the titular Exalted, who start off human but are endowed with more than enough power to match and even surpass any god.

 

== [[Video Games]] ==

* ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword|The Legend of Zelda Skyward Sword]]'': {{spoiler|It's quite possible Link ends up regularly dating a deity in mortal form after the ending of almost any game! But at least Zelda doesn't seem to know in most of those lifetimes that she is the Queen of Lesser Gods, Hylia, in mortal form...}}

* ''[[Lunar]]'': Alex and Luna, in the first game. Hiro and Lucia, in the second.

 

* ''[[One Touch of Venus]]'' is about the actual goddess Venus being in love with a barber from suburban New York.

 

== [[Web Comics]] ==

* Andy of ''[[Casey and Andy]]'', who's been dating Satan from around strip 50 to the current (and final) strip, 666.

* In ''[[Gunnerkrigg Court]]'', Matt had a [[Meet Cute]] with {{spoiler|the Chinese moon goddess Chang'e}}. Then she walked off with his jacket and his mp3 player. Women, huh...?
