*at a zoo* Ra: What are they in for? Nephthys: Ra, this isn't prison. Ra: So they can leave? Nephthys: No, but- Ra, pointing at a meerkat: I bet that one murdered someone.
It's a meerkat. It definitely murdered someone.

Ra: I'm a wizard. I mixed some herbs and crystals together and now my cat knows the f-word.
Ra will tear one of his eyes out and it'll become a cat, who knows the f-word and will commit mass slaughter for him!

I joined an excursion to the Spreewald on Tuesday, for a boating trip. Here's some pictures I took from the barge. :)

Set: Oh no! I’m doomed! Ra: Seriously? All you have to do is not insult Osiris at their own memorial service. Set: Exactly! It’s impossible!
Ra: Can you not be a fucking arsehole for five minutes?!
Set: *testy* I dunno, can you get off Thoth's arse for helping my parents have kids? It's been millennia, dammit!
Ra: ...
Ra: *mutters* Damn you, Thoth!

Thoth, on the phone: What’s up, Osiris? Osiris: I’m sitting in a pool of blood. Thoth: …Um, is it YOUR blood? Osiris: I think so. Thoth: Do you know where the blood’s coming from? Osiris: Probably the stab wound. Thoth: YOU’VE BEEN STABBED?! Osiris: Oh, yeah, definitely.
Thoth: STAY WHERE YOU ARE, I'LL BE WITH YOU AS FAST AS I CAN!

Concept: Lucifer trying to join the ‘Father’s Least Favorite’ Club and not understanding why he’s not allowed in
He'd have the first genuine shock in millennia!
What do you mean, he's not allowed in the 'Father's Least Favourite' Club?!
He suffered through the agony of Falling from Grace, was severely punished for telling someone to eat a specific fruit, ruling a literal hellscape and they're not letting you into the club?!?

Ma'at, during a yoga session: And release all the sounds, that are trapped in your mind. Osiris: AAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHH!!! The other participants: ... Ma'at: *gently* Osiris? Are you okay? Osiris: I'm a little messed up. ^^;

Huaguang: Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, that’s fucked up. Like c'mon, you know I’m dumb as hell!
Well, if he somehow does manage to win Yuebei Xing over, then at least he'll have a smart girlfriend.

Set: So I can either do something dumb that could very well get me injured or I can listen to Nephthys and not do the thing, Set: Well there’s a clear right answer here. Set: *proceeds to throw five packs of mentos into a barrel full of diet coke*
Nephthys: *sees her brother-husband fly past her on a barrel of diet coke*
Nephthys: *sighs* Why do I love this man?

Maat: So what are your political beliefs? Horus the Younger, awkwardly trying to impress them: Well, I think Pikachu would be a lot more powerful if he had a gun.
Ma'at: *sighs tiredly*

Seshat: *sneaking in through their window* Thoth: *turning in their chair and flicking the light one* You want to tell me where you've been all night? Seshat: I was with mom? Maat: *turning in their chair* Wanna try again?
Ma'at is Seshat's mother? Huh. Didn't know that.

Ra: You look like a corpse that was just pulled out of the river. Osiris: Wrong. I look like a cool rock star who just OD'd in their own pool. Big difference.
Ra, who sees everything happening on Earth every day: THERE LITERALLY IS NO DIFFERENCE!!!!!💢💢💢

Anubis: Do you guys ever have a civilized conversation that doesn't require insulting each other every time you get a chance? Isis: No. Set: No. Anubis: Didn't think so.
A jackal can dream.

Thoth: Physically, yes, I could fight a bird, but emotionally? Imagine the toll!
He couldn't betray his kind like that!

Maat: Okay, let's split 'em up and make 'em sing. Maat: Two of you take the one on the right, the other two take the one on the left. Isis: Right. Bad cop, good cop. Set: You know, it's interesting that they say "bad cop, good cop," because policing in this country is so broken it's really just "bad cop, bad cop". Maat: Isis, you're with him. Isis: *Sigh* Got it.
As if Isis couldn't be the bad cop, if she wanted to! XD

Ra: I drink to forget but I always remember. Thoth: You're drinking orange juice.
Ra: Isis doesn't allow me access to alcohol. Says it'll ruin my brain. So I drink orange juice, but it's not working. :/
Thoth: *quietly to himself* Not much left to ruin, you senile old man.
