The nero, meg, apollo and python group killed me

I did a Toa Hunger Games simulator. These are the highlights (not from any one particular scenario, just the highlights from several that I played):

APOLLO YOU HAD ONE JOB

You go you funky little music god, you

Bitch-

Making his father proud

Well okay, cut out the middle man I guess-

GET HIS ASS

What is this group

Yeah cause that worked out REAL WELL THE FIRST TIME YOU TRIED THAT

G E T H I S A S S

JASON N O-

Somewhere, Commodus is fuming

On brand

Of course he's the one who survives the damn fire-

Bruh-

Nero you fool-

(And that is the culmination of like, five games. I have classes in the morning why tf am I still awake)

Hilal Animation meme!

Uke Fact: My nickname for Hilal is fox god but he's neither a fox or a god.

OKAY so I read "The Caesars" by emperor Julian and y'all, if you love Lucian's satires this is absolutely for you.

Here are some of my favorite parts from it:

A quick summary: Romulus (who has now attained the status of a god, like Heracles) once hosted a Saturnalia and invited the Greek gods and the Roman emperors to the banquet. A contest between the Roman emperors ensued, with Alexander the Great called in as an extra contestant upon Heracles' request.

Silenus is the star of the show, doing most of the jesting. But I really like the way his bond with Dionysus is highlighted

And it's no joke, he really does roast these emperors till they're sizzling lol starting with Julius Caesar himself:

Next comes Augustus Octavius, whose entry is so pretentious and pompous that it becomes repulsive

Apollo gets a bit defensive over his "nursling" (a nod to the belief that Octavius was actually Apollo's son) and goes *insert Barbie meme "it's really not that bad! it just needs a little... shaping. To the salon!!"* ft Zenon the Philosopher who casts some spells of philosophy to make Octavius less obnoxious

And it works because Octavius is mostly humble and well mannered for the rest of the day lol

Heracles grabs this opportunity to fanboy over Alexander the great.

Like, "my beloved Alexander"?? It's cute when the gods gush over their mortal descendants.

Now, a shoutout to the emperors who didn't even get a chance to sit in the assembly because they were the worst of the lot apparently. We have:

Caligula, so terrible that the gods didn't wanna even look at him and he straight away was sent to Tartarus

Nero, who tried to be an Apollo wannabe and promptly got taken to the underworld

Commodus, whom Silenus didn't even bother to roast (and he tripped and fell anyway, what a loser)

There are more but these were the funniest

Anyway, the gods decide on how to choose the best amongst the Emperors. Apollo and Hermes have differing opinions on this, but Zeus decides to entertain the suggestions of both of his sons :3 (finally, one instance where he treats Apollo and Hermes equally)

All the emperors talk about their achievements first, then Hermes cross examines them to see if their motives were worthy enough and oh boy, it does not go well for Alexander who is brought to the verge of tears by Dionysus lmaooo

Anyway, in the end the gods vote and Emperor Marcus Aurelius wins the contest. But after that, Zeus asks each emperor to choose a god to spend the rest of their evening with

Ares and Aphrodite kind of just adopt Caesar LOL and yes, Cronus is present, sitting beside Zeus, with Rhea and Hera also sitting with them. He is the one who nominates Marcus Aurelius.

but here's the most crack part of this whole thing:

Like who invited Jesus bro skdjsndn 😭

Anyway, the story ends with Hermes giving some generic advice to the author, Emperor Julian and ending the story. Also, Julian lets us know that this whole story was told to him by none other than Hermes himself, and gives a disclaimer that he doesn't know if it's is true or just a lie fabricated by Hermes, or a mixture of both LMAO

Here's the link PLEASE READ THE ENTIRE THING

Snippet tee hee

Hyacinthus reached out and froze with his hand between them as Apollo's expression drew tight, lips curling back from his teeth.

"Should I not care for the other lands I call mine, too? Tenedos and Killa are mine, and so is holy Ilion - has been for longer than you might think, Hyacinthus. Besides, I should think you have no reason to be unhappy when the patron goddess of your country is still holding her hand over Sparta and the whole of Lakedaimon; even the queen of great Olympos, and she has even promised aid to Menelaos, who isn't tied to your family other than by marriage. With such an ally, do you really need me, then?"

"Do I need---!" Sputtering, Hyacinthus glowered. "You are the one who's come to watch our dances! You are the one who's hunted among our hollows and cliffs! And now you're just going to abando---"

"Good night, Hyacinthus," Apollo snapped, his voice arctic and his lovely, beloved, blue eyes a storm.

"Good night!" Hyacinthus shouted, furiously turning the other way as Apollo strode past him and towards his personal wing of the palace.

He didn't even know where he was going as he stormed up stairs and through corridors, shaking.

A little known comics fact is that bad writing only happens to my faves. Everyone else acted like that because they suck.

Having thoughts how how Poseidon will react to Apollo asking him to join group revolution #2

I think Poseidon isn't malicious he just doesn't want Apollo to get punished again or most likely killed.

Grabs you by the arms

Did you know? Did you know Hector, with his handsome face and brow clutched his son? Did you know that he removed his great helm to press kisses to the boys crown? Did you know Hector told his lovely Andromache, go to your handmaidens and do your weaving, leave all men to their fate at the call of the war, me especially? Did you know she mourned him as he walked the great streets of troy for his fate was sung long ago, to die for the city he so loved? Did you know he gazed into the eyes of his foe, godlike Achilles, and asked only for his body to be returned to his high father Priam to be buried? Did you know he faced the best of the Greeks bravely even when he swore his skin would serve as feed for his dogs? Did you?? Did yo-
