[ID: A ten-panel comic of Alice, Gwen, Sam, and Colin from The Magnus Protocol. Alice is at her computer as it reads a case, saying “Soon will the moment of reckoning come—” and she interrupts to say “oop! No thanks, Augustus </3”. She gets up from her desk and calls to Gwen who sighs in response and says “What is it, Alice?” Alice replies “Gwen do you think swans would be Tories.” Gwen says “What.” and Alice proceeds “You know, because the Crown owns them.” Raising an eyebrow, Gwen says “I don’t think swans would respect the processes of a constitutional monarchy, Alice.” Alice says “Nah, they’d be total bootlickers.”

Interrupting, Sam says “I think ducks would vote for Labour. They’re very polite and they’d want robust healthcare and education for their ducklings.” Alice looks amused while Gwen silently regrets the trajectory of her life. Coming in the door, Colin says “I think geese would be anarchists.” Alice turns to him and asks “How did you hear this vitally important discourse from out there, exactly?” to which Colin says “I didn’t. Why, what were you talking about?” End ID.]

i mean if wishful thinking can turn something into a workplace comedy once it can do it twice right. everyone’s gonna stay fine forever. right

Is the sanders sides fandom still alive?

okay but let's be so for real though. Roman Holiday could chew up and spit out any of the modern romcoms that have been released this decade

one of the main reasons, i think, why gladiator ii doesn’t really work is that it tries really hard to quietly project modern perceptions of race onto the roman world, which has never and will never work well. the romans made a distinction between people that were “roman” vs “not roman”, but that had nothing to do with skin color. people born in roman africa were romans by birth! for example, the emperor septimus severus, geta and caracalla’s father, was libyan and macrinus was a real guy from africa who, unlike in the movie, was a roman citizen by birth. i will also say, the romans only really got to north africa (i.e. mostly countries that are arabic speaking in the modern day) so a lot of the background characters especially are inaccurate anyway (why were there characters with west african accents?), but that’s a whole other conversation. yknow who were actually considered “barbarians”? most of western europe. so

obsessed with the narrative of Preacher. YES god is the fucking villain. he’s selfish. he’s violent. he’s indifferent. he’s bored. he’s desperate. he’s a pervert. he runs a cult. he doesn’t have a plan, even for the most innocent and devoted. he’s the fucking villian and he wants to end the world.

It turns out the Cattons were big shareholders in Waystar Royco, and Roman is dispatched to England to woo the new owner of their estate prior to a big vote.

The kings? Short.

The vibes? Rancid.

The bathroom? Covered in coke.

Jasico Bingo Challenge: CHB Jason

Nico isn’t sure what’s worse: the fact that his childhood best friend seemingly disappeared into thin air a week ago, or the fact that the hottest guy he’s ever seen in his life has mysteriously appeared within Camp Jupiter’s walls. 

“Of course it was the first cohort,” he overhears after a Senate meeting, whispered in the halls. “He must be crazy powerful, if Lupa didn’t even need to train him!” 

“Shut up, that’s just a rumor. Everyone has to meet Lupa.” 

“They definitely met,” the first voice insists. Nico leans further into his shadows. The pair pass in front of him. “But she just let him go.” 

Hot guy is, of course, the gossip of the week. The month, even. 

Nico privately decides that hot guy is worse, only because it seems like his presence alone has turned the Legion into morons who’ve forgotten their freakishly powerful, supposed-to-be-Praetor has literally evaporated. Poof! No more son of Neptune! 

Nico would think the people who just a few years ago made a massive deal out of every move said son of Neptune made would pay a little more attention to the fact that the whole freaking man is gone! 

But no. There’s new gossip to be had, about a blonde with drool-worthy eyes and a scar on his lip and a suspiciously-missing backstory. 

Spend enough time in the Underworld, and you learn to suspect the whole amnesia act. Shades always know more than they pretend to. 

As the senate hall empties, Nico sinks fully back into the shadows. 

He will not let this stand.
