Janus: Yeah, I can look at their bank account and the worth of every item they own. Money is more than just the material objects of bills and coins.
Logan: *huff*
Logan. "Why don't you believe ghosts are real?"
Janus. "I've never seen one."
Logan. "Okay, I mean, there's a lot of things that you can't see that you— that are real."
Janus. "What can't I see?"
Logan. "You can't see gravity, that's real."
Janus. "Yeah, I can drop an apple."
Logan. "Fuck."
So far every side name has two syllables.
Ro/man.
Ja/nus. (or Jan/us, depends on how you say it)
Re/mus.
Pat/ton.
Lo/gan.
Vir/gil.
Even Thom/as and Ni/co have two syllables.
Heck, even E/mile and Re/my have two syllables.
What if the next side doesn't? What if it's like, Craig or something?
Even Apollo (a common orange-side name theory, after Logan's comment about wishing Apollo had more of an influence in WTIT) would mess with the pattern, being A/pol/lo
Patton: Allergic to cats
(It even has a front pouch to place an actual cat, if you so desire.)
"Oh, I can't. I'm allergic."
Remus: Allergic to soap
"It's got soap on it! I'm allergic to soap, you (beep)!"
Roman: Allergic to cats
"You think you know someone and then WHAM! Out of nowhere... they fill your apartment with feral cats?! And now you're somehow responsible for the vet bills? You've got to give them away, but despite your cat allergy, you've endeared yourself to them, especially to Mrs. Snuffles... more like Mrs. Sniffles! ...Because of the allergy."
Logan: Allergic to bullshit
Janus: Allergic to society
Virgil: Allergic to makeup remover
Patton: (unbuttons polo one button more than usual because it's hot out)
Logan, completely straight-faced: Whore.
Patton:
Patton: (unbuttons the next button just to see what will happen)
This is the first time anyone's tagged Thomas on one of my posts (I think) oh my god this was a barely coherent thought when I was half-asleep—
Janus’s light side name is Janan
Remus and Logan: *playing Hell Chess*
Patton and Janus: *teleport in*
Janus: LOGAN! Tell Patton he does not have birds in his head!
Patton: Logan!! Tell Janus he doesn't know everything!
Logan, raising an eyebrow: What?
Patton: So, whenever my doctor examines my ears, these little birds tweet! He says I have a little family of birds living in my head!
Janus: Correction, to make Patton sit still during checkups, his doctor makes bird noises and pretends to check on birds in his head instead of his ears.
Patton: Hey, I'm perfectly still! I don't want him to poke a bird!
Janus: *gestures wildly at him*
Logan, completely serious: Oh, no, I'm afraid you're wrong here, Janus. I've seen Patton's medical records, he has a small family of birds living in his head and has for years. It's a harmless condition.
Janus: *stares at him in WTF manner*
Patton: Ha! I told you! Devon and his family ARE in my head!
Remus: What's in my head?
Logan, no hesitation: A single rat on a wheel. His name is Maurice.
Remus: Is he a space cowboy?
Logan: And a gangster of love.
Remus, grinning: Cool.
Patton: Ooh! What's in Roman's head?
Logan, also no hesitation: A frog named Roberto.
Patton: Awesome! I'm going to tell him.
Patton: *sinks out*
Janus: WHY.
Logan, smiling mischievously: You've got a transgendeer in yours.
Janus: MOTHERF—
Ranboo-flavored plush (with bean pouch inside along stuffing so it's weighted)
I feel like a lot of people miss the point of Sherlock's charging-port-deduction when they poke fun at it.
Now, I'm not saying he's right or some genius (or that you shouldn't poke fun at the deduction), I'm just saying that the point of this specific observation was misunderstood.
Because yes, we all try to plug our phones in in the dark or without looking and miss the port a few times. But not hard enough to leave scratches in the metal. When I look at my charging port, there are no scratches there, because I use the appropriate amount of force when plugging in my phone, and I think most of you do, too.
However, when you're completely drunk, there isn't really an 'appropriate amount of force.' You will jam your charger into the metal around your phone port hard enough to leave visible scratches.
It wasn't that the phone's user missed the port; it was that they missed the port with enough excessive force to scratch the phone.
(Which, of course, doesn't even necessarily mean 'alcoholic'; it could just be someone with difficulty with fine motor skills, or who misjudges how much force they need for things, or wasn't wearing their glasses and got very frustrated trying to plug in their phone, or any variety of other scenarios)
Remus has started a 'two peas in an odd pod' friendship with Virgil, and Roman has started a rivalry with Virgil!
I have started a (mobile) sims game
Patton and Janus are fiancés, Janus is a barista, Patton is a chef with a cooking hobby, they're planning on having a kid (either Remus or Roman but hopefully both)
They're going to raise all the sides (like in my fic, Supposed To Be A Family, I have no shame adding that, link's in my pinned post)
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.
- 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. Oh my god.
Janus. What?
Remus. It's a fucking dead bird.
Janus. What? Oh, that's an omen, or something.
Patton. Why is there a dead bird in here?
Logan. There was probably a live bird in here and then something happened that made it dead.
Remus. Oh. Great analysis, doc. Oh Jesus, it's all rotted and it's eyes are gone, this is horrifying.
Logan. Well, its eyes aren't gonna stick around.
He/they (both equally good)I love asks, requests, general interaction, and stuff like that!Mostly various fandom stuff, I'm just having a good time and enjoying myselfI hope I can make you smile :)
