Round one

Jose from Σαββατογεννημένες/Women-Born-on-saturday, is a guy from Uruguay working in a greek tourist shop. He's afraid of babies, he's canonically bi and he works in a night club as his second job. What he really wants is citizenship of a country. He may dislike Greece but if it can give him citizenship, then so be it.

Menippos from Ουκ αν λαβοις πάρα του μη έχοντος/You can't take from the one who doesn't have, is one of the main characters, years ago he died. But he couldn't pay Hermes and Charos for the trip to afterlife so hes been living since then. He is trying to find a job in Greece while with the economic crisis so he can get 1€ and finally die. (He doesn't want to)

@theallstore You are completely right, this is greek mythology

And @asinine36 if you're still interested

Allow me to introduce you to Menippos, Hermes and Charon

Well, not these ones

These ones

Ουκ αν λαβοις πάρα του μη έχοντος (ancient greek for= You cannot take from the one who doesn't have) is a greek animated satire tv series that came out back in 2010-2011

And then got canceled cause it was mocking politicians

It's based on the myth that Menippos, a cynic philosopher, who was really poor and died without an obol (coin) couldn't go to the underworld

So they made a show of it

Charon and Hermes try to get him to work but he always messes it up

Some of the jobs he did was: fast food employee, vampire hunter (specifically sent to kill Edward Cullen), taxi driver, politician, football player, fake Santa Claus, detective who finds lost dogs etc

Hermes keeps killing him any time Menippos is annoying him and archangel Gabriel sends him back down (the man doesn't know sleep)

Funny thing is. Menippos is an ASSHOLE. ΜΑΛΑΚΑΣ he is the epitome of MALAKAS

I think it's hilarious that people said he's NTA

Maybe in the specific case he seems like a victim ok, but his whole personality in the show is being an asshole and he knows it

In this clip, he made a political party called A.S.S.H.O.L.E

Let me translate the conversation:

Add: "are you a right-wing?

No?

Are you a left-wing?

Neither?

On the center? You laugh?

Maybe you're just an "ASSHOLE"?

"Big indecisive folksy independent and unincorporated coalition"

We dont discriminate except pedophiles ex and current dictators and family members of Bush"

Menippos: *laughs*

Hermes: no tell me I didn't tell you so

Charon: you told me so

H: no no tell me I didn't tell you so

C: you- you told me so

H: and what do you have to say now?

C: You're right

H: I know I'm right, but what do you have to say?

C: he's an asshole. The lad is an asshole

M: not only I am. But I am also their political leader. Certified, first instance and advertised on television *continues laughing*"

Ps: in greek malakas, means someone who jerks off/ masturbates and the dick is also called "bird" so. The icon of the political party MALAKAS was 100% on purpose (also yeah malakas can't really be translated I think but we use it similar to the way English people use asshole so we've agreed that's the translation even though asshole means κωλοτριπιδα)

So yeah, the show is about an Asshole trying to find 1€ in the bad economy of Greece 2011 in order to pay mister Anger Issues and Crybaby so they can retire and go on vacation

Also, greeks today are in fact Orthodox Christians (the majority at least, I mean look at the flag) and that's where the joke of "changing religions" comes from

There's also a bunch of random stuff that I love about the show, like Charon being in love with Cinderella but she keeps rejecting him

And a lot of reoccurring characters, whether fictional (like Lassie, ET, Cinderella, Avatar(blue) Snow white, Pluto, the twilight cast) or real (Madonna, Obama +lots of politicians, The Pope, Queen Elizabeth) etc

Also, I almost forgot, some people in the tags said Hermes (or someone else) should have paid for him, that's not how it works. Hermes' job was to bring the souls to the underworld and Charon's to take them across the river, Hermes couldn't be paying Charon for every dead soul he brought

Am I the asshole for not paying and dying?

So, I (M???) Technically died thousands of years ago. The thing is at that time my country and religion had the rule that the dead were buried with a coin to pay the dude that was taking them to the underworld.

But I was (and still am) really poor. So the God (M???) who collected the souls (We're gonna call him H) and guides them to the underworld left me at the side of the river where I had to take a boat

Then a boatman, let's call him C took me to the other side, when he asked me to pay I didn't have any money to pay him and actually enter the underworld

I suggested that H should pay for me since he was the one that brought me there but he said something like "As if I'll make any money from this business if I start paying for the dead too"

Well since I couldn't pay, I never really died and have been wondering around earth for a while now.

But recently my country officially changed religions and since the old gods gave everything to the new ones H and C had to do some paperwork in order to actually get retired

But they can't get retired since I am an unfinished business from the ex administration. Any time H tries to kill me (that guy has a lot of anger issues and hates my guts so it happens a lot) I'm sent up to heaven and an angel G(M?) has to bring me back down since I "am not a Christian and unfinished business" etc etc

H and C have been trying to find me a job so that I'll get paid, pay them and die so they can retire

So far I haven't been able to get paid, I guess I'm kind of sabotaging the whole thing since I don't want to die but also the country and the economy is shit, where would I find 1€ in this time and age?

So am I the asshole for not helping them retire by paying them and dying?

ROUND ONE

Both characters from the TV show Ουκ αν λαβοις πάρα του μη έχοντος/You can't take from the one who doesn't have

Gabriel probably needs a day off and Hermes to stop killing Menippos cause that means he has to do more job by sending him back

Hermes probably has adhd and anger issues and is trying to find Menippos a job so he can pay them (Hermes and Charos) so they both can finally retire

[sugaroto]

Does anyone know how I can add subtitles to a show?

For some reason I decided I want to translate ουκ αν λαβοις πάρα του μη έχοντος but I'm not sure how

The videos already exist on YouTube, so either I could add them on the already existing videos or download them and add the subtitles and then upload them or something?

Main problem is idk what app to use? Any advice?

Also a little description on what the show is about to see if anyone is interested:

It's an adult cartoon, it follows the 3 main characters Menippos, Hermes and Charon.

They try to find Menippos a job (in this economy) so he'll get paid and then pay back Charon so he and Hermes can retire

The characters:

Hermes: Anger issues

Charon: little sad meow meow

Menippos: Malakas. Yolo.

If I'm not mistaken the show has like 13 episodes (they canceled it cause it was making fun of Greece's economy and politicians)

There are also a lot of references to different media, like fairytales (Cinderella/ Snow white are characters) superman (his gf is the news reporter) avatar (the blue one) Lassie (she's a reoccurring character) Mickey Mouse (this will ruin your childhood) ET, Madonna, Twilight (a whole episode is based on Twilight and the main 3 are bullying Edward) and many more characters I'm probably forgetting

[sugaroto]

What if when I re-watch ουκ αν λαβοις πάρα του μη έχοντος (Ancient greek for "You cannot take from the one who doesn't have") I wrote an au aftg fic with Andrew as Hermes, Neil as Menippos and Kevin as Charon?

Cause like, they kinda fit the dynamics

Hermes, just wants to retire and hates Menippos so much he has killed him multiple times (and each time an angel brings him back cause he can't die as a Christian)

Menippos, is poor so that's why he can't die, and cause he wants to live he doesn't even work for the money

And Charon, went to find Hermes as soon as he realized there was a problem and ended up ruining his cruise trip, and also cries when Menippos bully him (along with Hermes) for not having a soul or something

This is what I'm talking about btw
