You don't need to be so formal with "ms doe," Margery is fine. What can I call you?

Ah, apologies for that. In my country it's more common to introduce ourselves by last name first. Though I suppose most people here go by first name regardless. In that case, Margery, I suppose you can call me Kankichi.

"I want x spinoff, I want a book about y"

I want to meet the woman who had not one but TWO kids with Hermes. Two kids so close in age and are so alike people just assume that they're twins, two kids who are chaos personified, who singlehandedly run the camp shop, who are in charge of the biggest cabin at camp and look after their equally chaotic gremlin siblings plus every unclaimed kid at camp like Lou Ellen a daughter of Hecate and another being of chaos who learnt it all from them, and who take every opportunity to fuck shit up, to prank their camp mates or to steal shit. Their last name, which they get from their mama? Stoll by the way. Neither child notices the pun.

I want to meet Mama Stoll, who saw the chaos, who saw the bullshit Hermes brought into her life the first go around and said tonight's the night let's do it again. She is either the world's greatest cat burglar who enticed the god of Thieves or the messenger god was enchanted by the best god dam delivery woman on the planet. There's no in-between. It was just a bonus that her surname was the perfect pun. Her and Hermes laugh about it. In my head, it's all canon. Regardless, she unleashed two agents of unlimited chaos onto an unsuspecting world, and I love her for it. I take my hat off to her, I kneel before her.

Oh, and the oldest kid, Travis? He's dating a girl called Katie, who is the daughter of Demeter. Her last name? Gardner. Fucking Gardner. She has a sister called Miranda Gardiner, by the way. Mama Stoll finds it hilarious. Her sons still don't get the pun, but at least she gets on with her future daughter in law like a house on fire.

i have to be the best dressed person standing in the corner of a party like this 🧍

[fideidefenswhore]

was the tudors 'oversexualized', or was that just how tv was back then?

[sforzesco]

have you seen the new show those about to die? is there any degree of accuracy to it or is it just silly murdercamp fun

I’m waiting until November to watch it so I can do Gladiator II and Those About To Die at the same time. I also don’t watch historical drama for historical accuracy, historical fact isnt even the main thing I judge a show for. it’s maybe the fourth or fifth thing I think about.

true romance died in 12bc

[crunchycrystals]

rereading the pjo series with the new athens headcanon in mind its really strange that its not canon like it fits percy and annabeth's characters perfectly and allows people like piper to stay at camp half-blood forever without having to move to new rome. like in canon their only option is to literally move to new rome to survive you think percy's gonna be that far from his mother and baby sister???? a big part of his character in the first book is about how much he loves his mother there is NO WAY he's living away from her forever

[evadingreallife]

Hearing people IRL talking about the roman empire and it's painfully obvious that their understanding of (socially acceptable) roman family dynamics come from the imperial family and im like. that would be equivalent to saying "the british royal family live in a dysfunctional tradition-laden power-hungry fishbowl and thus their dynamics represent how every British family interacted within itself"

[voluptuarian]

its so weird to me how people will freak out if they visit a historical site which may have had any connection at all to trans-atlantic slavery, meanwhile every day thousands of people go visit the giant stadiums built with slave labor where ancient romans used to watch enslaved people kill each other, criminals get eaten alive, and animal cruelty be performed on a massive scale for fun and entertainment and nobody bats an eye
