How Remus Describes The Other Sides

You know how the Spider-Characters's Spidey Sense go off in Into The Spiderverse when they meet? That's literally just queer people meeting irl

AHHHH OH MY DHAKAHDSKSKFYEIA I LOVE YOU I LOVE YOU I LOVE YOU

NOBODY HAS EVER ILLUSTRATED ONE OF MY SILLY LITTLE IDEAS

Janus’s light side name is Janan

My mom, in the car, explicitly for my benefit: 'Road work ahead?'

Me: I SURE HOPE IT DOES

Me: I love you

For a moment, I forgot what a gaylord was and was in a world of wild confusion and homosexual human trafficking

I was thinking about Sapnap's name and how it used to be Pandas and was supposed to be Pandas backwards

Anyway

I was like 'it's not really Pandas though... what would Pandas backwards be?' and I realized that Pandas backwards is Sadnap

Which, like

Yeah I can see why he didn't chose Sadnap as his name

Walked into the bathroom and immediately went "it smells like Arctic Fox in here" like the world's gayest bloodhound

I stayed hydrated, but at the cost of my raw wooden floor (luckily it's just water and I caught the glass so it didn't break)

(excuse the mess I'm working on a project)

Also (because I'm currently rewatching it):

- Old gay people. A-bit-past-middle-aged men that are a normal couple (well, as normal as a couple gets in this show) and also gay.

- The idea of "What if everyone was assigned a prophecy when they were born?" is explored

- Sprinkled with references to myths that you feel very proud if you understand

- Drama, murder, mystery, love, epic quests, betrayal, and more

- Family blood ties are less significant than your ties with those you choose to tie yourself to (chosen family > biological family, but someone can be both your chosen and biological family)

- The Amazons are in it (and much like the rest of the characters, they don't all look like tall, hot supermodels; they look like normal people, of which some are tall, hot supermodels)

- Yes, it does end on a cliffhanger, due to the fact that there was supposed to be a second season, but I personally think it is entirely worth watching regardless

- So much more that I can't say without spoiling parts

But do be aware that as a show involving Greek mythology, it does get bloody— someone else recommended checking Does The Dog Die? (doesthedogdie.com) if you have specific triggers you wish to avoid. I support this, though know that there will obviously be spoilers.

Why you should watch KAOS (2024) on Neftlix:

- Jeff Goldblum as Zeus

- A disabled actors play a disabled characters (Mat Fraser & another secret one [because spoilers])

- A trans actor plays a trans character (I won't say which one since it's kind of a spoiler)

- Set in modern times, uses characters from old myths but isn't a simple retelling; it's a whole new story

- All your favs are there (Prometheus, Daedalus, Persephone, Dionysus, Cassandra, Medusa, Charon, Ariadne, the Fates, the Furies, just to name a few)

- Speaking of Persephone, she and Hades are actually in love (the version of the myth which I know much of you love)

- Gaslight, gatekeep, girlboss Hera (as in, she literally does all those things)

- The gods' actors' ages actually make sense, they didn't cast solely young people or make young people look older; you've got Zeus (72), Hera (63), Hades (61), Persephone (56), Poseidon (56), Dionysus (27), you get the idea

- Killer soundtrack

- Actual realistic queer characters/representation in a natural, unforced way

- Enjoyable story and comedic but also has depth (I binge-watched it in a day)

- Not a huge commitment (8 episodes of about 50 minutes each)

- Have you ever thought "What would the Ancient Greek gods be doing in modern times?" This show answers that question!

- It wasn't renewed for a second season due to viewership, so if the views explode, maybe they'll renew it and I can find out what happens next (I know it's not likely, but I can dream; besides, if just one person watches and enjoys it, then this post will have been worth it)

Remus: Just stepped out of the shower while Janus was playing piano, felt like I was in a very classy movie about to be murdered

Patton: Are you guys okay down there??

Remus, Janus, and Virgil: No.

Roman: More importantly, Remus, you shower?

Remus: Of course!

Janus: He rolls around in volcanic ash like a chinchilla.

Roman: Oh. Uh, why?

Remus: I'm allergic to soap! :D

Roman, Logan, Patton, Thomas: ...

Remus: :DDD

Patton, trying his best: That's nice kiddo

Screw it, have some famILY

Patton: *yawn, opens eyes*

On Patton's bedside table: HUGE SPIDER

Patton: *shrieks, jumps out of bed, runs out of room*

Patton: Virgil! Virgil there's a giant bug in my room I need you to kill it!

Virgil: *gets up, follows Patton to his room*

Virgil: *kills bug*

Virgil: That was a big spider

Patton: Yeah I woke up and it was right in my face and I yelled... Well, I'm definitely awake now

Virgil: *laugh*

Patton: Thank you!!
