So tempted to put this on Remus XD

Cats are SUPPOSED to stay inside, because it's safer for them and the wildlife so don't listen to anyone that tries saying anything. Also why was the doggo just looking inside if he can go in?
Also also, do you mind turning anon on?
We put her outside to run around because she was being rambunctious, she's back inside now
Also I didn't know it wasn't! Thanks for telling me— I think I fixed it, would you mind telling me if I have?
Logan: You malodorous scenturian!
Roman: *blank look*
Logan: *sigh*
Logan: You stinky soldier boy.
Roman: *gasp* How dare you!
"We— wait, when did it get so dark outside?”
"I fucked up here, didn’t I?”
“This is it. This tells us if we get to play at the festival, in front of people, or not. ...I can't open it.”
Roman competed at a few games, whined about how they were rigged, and then was immediately shown up by Virgil as he nailed them. He pouted until the next game, and then the cycle continued.
“I don't know about anyone else, but I feel like I’m pretty obvious about my sexuality."
“Are they in a cult?”
“Okay, I’m asking now: What else can you do? What other special powers do you have? What else are you incredibly good at?”
"Mine’s not as deep or anything, but I’ve never actually dated anyone. I have this reputation for being loved by everyone and having had a bunch of relationship experience, but I’ve never even kissed anyone before."
(What are you going to do, threaten them?) “No, I’ll have Remus threaten them, because he’s much more intimidating than me. I’m about as scary as a sprig of rosemary.”
"I’m scared that when anyone gets close, they'll realize they don't love me and just leave."
Remus: Eats deodorant (canon)
Patton: Eats play dough (canon)
So...
Logan: Eats books (a joke from way back when)
Roman: Idk, like, makeup or glitter (to be beautiful on the inside too)
Virgil: ...spiders (will not elaborate)
Janus: Swallows whole raw eggs (because snake)
[Patton]: First, we'll need someone to practice on...
[Logan]: But who?
[Patton]: Each other?
(After they all swear to tell the truth during the trial scene and Janus takes the bibles/misc objects back away)
[Patton]: Okay, so, we kiss now? Or...?
Bonus:
[Patton]: Aww, there's so much cool stuff they've done for us online, kiddos!
[Roman]: Oh yeah?
[Patton]: There's some really neato artwork of us all AND some writing as well! Say, what is a "ship"?
[Logan]: Seriously, Morality, you don't know what that is? It is a craft designed for water travel.
[Virgil]: Even Prince knew that.
[Roman]: Yeah, even I knew that.
[Patton]: Oh, ok! It does not look like that, but ok.
I just want to point out those all happened in canon. That is all.
When I was like eight years old I overheard my mother and aunt talking about how apparently if you don't learn to wiggle your ears as a kid, you'll never be able to, and that they wished they could wiggle their ears
And little 8-year-old me went "oh man, I better learn to wiggle my ears now so I don't regret it later!"
Anyway I can now and I have never once gone "boy, good thing I can wiggle my ears"
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)
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 :)
