This is pure comedy gold.
If the Romans Had Outgoing Voice Messages
Caesar: Hey it's Julius. I can't come to the phone right now, but if you leave your name and number I'll - Antony! What the HELL are you doing?? Don't touch that!
Antony: Yo, it's Antony. If you call back and I don't answer, it means I can't answer. Send a text. I might read it. If it can be said in text, then for the love of God, text.
Brutus: Hi! It's Brutus. Um, I'm really super sorry I couldn't get the phone, I swear I'll call you back as soon as I can. Um, if you wanna call my work phone it's xxxxxxxxxx. I'll respond, probably, I might be busy and I can't take personal calls unless it's an emergency but I can try - (BEEP)
Cassius: Hey if this is Octavian bothering me again I swear to God I will punch your fucking lights out. If this is anyone else call back later
Pompey: it's Pompey. Call back later.
Octavian: The person you have dialed is unable to receive your call. Please call back later or leave a message after the tone.
Cato: Alexia? Alexis? Alexa! How did I work this? Alexa won't turn on! This is Cato
Thought I’d share this with Floralia being upon us, which also overlaps with Beltane.

Just goes to show New Orleans has always had lax alcohol laws.
Prohibition agent Izzy Einstein bragged that he could find liquor in any city in under 30 minutes. In Chicago it took him 21 min. In Atlanta 17, and Pittsburgh just 11. But New Orleans set the record: 35 seconds. Einstein asked his taxi driver where to get a drink, and the driver handed him one.

The sexist fridging of Meetra Surik to make Revan suffer has already been discussed in depth already, but the one thing no one has mentioned is that apparently Bastila Shan doesn’t get along with her and is jealous of her “special relationship” with Revan. The whole women fighting over a man is overdone, overrated, and sexist. It assumes that every woman wants/needs a man (ignoring preferring women, being asexual, being aromantic, or gasp! deciding you’re happy being single), and that all women are in competition for men. Not that this doesn’t happen in real life, but to assume that the only way women relate to each other is viewing each other as competition for “getting” a man is cliché and sexist.
The main reason I headcanon Meetra and Bastila as BFFs is a big FU to Karpsyshyn’s sexist writing, and it’s way more complex and fascinating to have Bastila and Meetra, be BFFs who had a falling out over Meetra joining the Revanchists then to have them be another cliché catfight over a man.
You tell him Rose!
Jesse: whatever you say, slut
Rose: ouch, oooh, such an insult. Let me know when you come up with something creative to call me, you sack of poorly packaged horseshit
Julius Caesar after bailing Antony out of jail for the tenth time: You seriously can’t stay out of trouble for five fucking minutes?! This is the last time I’m paying.
Mark Antony: You just keep telling yourself that.
Because Sydney is a badass secret agent.
Marcus: So you're telling me that you broke into Alchemist headquarters to steal information, and you didn't get caught?
Sydney:
Damn, this is both hilarious and accurate.
If the Romans and Friends Had Outgoing Voice Messages Part 2
Cleopatra: You have reached 1-800 That Bitch, and this is a message to let SOMEBODY (Antony) know that if he so much as TRIES to steal my takeout this time I will stab him in the eye
Octavia: Before you begin your message I'd like to apologize for anything my brother has done to provoke you, I am not responsible for him
Cicero: You have reached the only voice of reason left in this hellhole, please leave a message.
Agrippa: Marcus Agrippa, please leave a message. Sorry I can't come to the phone right now but I literally never have a moment free *depressed laugh*
LOL. This is a terrible idea, but hilarious!
Julius Caesar but it takes place in a cheap pizza restaurant.
Agreed. Peebee might be annoying, but at least she and Vetra both apologize for their mistaken first assumptions about each other in further conversations.
Confession: I’m not really the biggest fan of Liam. I don’t hate him but his tendencies to make some really stupid decisions that could have some serious consequences and just be judgey as all hell really bother me. He’ll give Vetra shit about being irresponsible by bringing Sid to Andromeda, meanwhile he’s off handing out sensitive information? It just rubs me the wrong way. I wish the fandom would be more chill with people that just don’t like him.
