My Skin Is So Crispy I Wouldn't Be Surprised If I Just Shedded It Like A Snake At This Point

Wonderful post op but I read this as 'milf' at first and that gave it a WHOLE other meaning lemme tell you—

janus centric stories where he's insecure of his scales and thinks they're evil and monstrous are fun for angst reasons and all but you can't stare me dead in the eye and tell me that canon, present-day janus doesn't look in the mirror every morning and think he's the prettiest mf in thomas' mind

It took so goddamn long for me to be diagnosed with ADHD because I'm a "good student" who "stays engaged" and "understands the material" and has straight As and I was sitting there drawing penguins instead of taking notes, spacing out during class, asking my friends what just happened ten seconds ago, unable to focus in silence, bullshitting my way through everything

i love how neurotypical people try to gatekeep mental illnesses and say things like “oh you don’t have ADHD, you just have a lot of energy”, “you’re not depressed, you just need to go outside and hang out with your friends more”, and my absolute favourite, “it’s all in your head” well yeah last time I checked that’s where my brain is

Thank you for creating the au and just being awesome! I'm so happy right now you just made my year :D

A littol Virgil! (Does this count as fanart?)

Based off the Campfire Au Vee by @tscampfireau (HIGHLY recommend you check it out, it's awesome!)

Also (because I'm currently rewatching it):

- Old gay people. A-bit-past-middle-aged men that are a normal couple (well, as normal as a couple gets in this show) and also gay.

- The idea of "What if everyone was assigned a prophecy when they were born?" is explored

- Sprinkled with references to myths that you feel very proud if you understand

- Drama, murder, mystery, love, epic quests, betrayal, and more

- Family blood ties are less significant than your ties with those you choose to tie yourself to (chosen family > biological family, but someone can be both your chosen and biological family)

- The Amazons are in it (and much like the rest of the characters, they don't all look like tall, hot supermodels; they look like normal people, of which some are tall, hot supermodels)

- Yes, it does end on a cliffhanger, due to the fact that there was supposed to be a second season, but I personally think it is entirely worth watching regardless

- So much more that I can't say without spoiling parts

But do be aware that as a show involving Greek mythology, it does get bloody— someone else recommended checking Does The Dog Die? (doesthedogdie.com) if you have specific triggers you wish to avoid. I support this, though know that there will obviously be spoilers.

Why you should watch KAOS (2024) on Neftlix:

- Jeff Goldblum as Zeus

- A disabled actors play a disabled characters (Mat Fraser & another secret one [because spoilers])

- A trans actor plays a trans character (I won't say which one since it's kind of a spoiler)

- Set in modern times, uses characters from old myths but isn't a simple retelling; it's a whole new story

- All your favs are there (Prometheus, Daedalus, Persephone, Dionysus, Cassandra, Medusa, Charon, Ariadne, the Fates, the Furies, just to name a few)

- Speaking of Persephone, she and Hades are actually in love (the version of the myth which I know much of you love)

- Gaslight, gatekeep, girlboss Hera (as in, she literally does all those things)

- The gods' actors' ages actually make sense, they didn't cast solely young people or make young people look older; you've got Zeus (72), Hera (63), Hades (61), Persephone (56), Poseidon (56), Dionysus (27), you get the idea

- Killer soundtrack

- Actual realistic queer characters/representation in a natural, unforced way

- Enjoyable story and comedic but also has depth (I binge-watched it in a day)

- Not a huge commitment (8 episodes of about 50 minutes each)

- Have you ever thought "What would the Ancient Greek gods be doing in modern times?" This show answers that question!

- It wasn't renewed for a second season due to viewership, so if the views explode, maybe they'll renew it and I can find out what happens next (I know it's not likely, but I can dream; besides, if just one person watches and enjoys it, then this post will have been worth it)

The sides' quirks when entering a new house, based on my own

Virgil: Figures out where the exits/entrances are (just in case)

Logan: Figures out where the bathrooms are (practical)

Janus: Figures out where the outlets in commonly-access rooms are (practical)

Patton: Figures out if there are pets/where the pets are (a necessity)

Roman: Figures out which common-accessed window has the best view (harmless?)

Remus: Figures out where all the doors lead to (why)

Remus, proud of knowing something: Logan. I have a fact.

Logan, not looking up from his book: Proceed.

Remus: Male reindeers lose their antlers in the winter, while female reindeers don't. All of Santa's reindeers have antlers, meaning they're all female, but the media says they're men because they don't want a team of strong females depicted.

Logan: Or they aren't cis. Ever think about that?

Remus: Wait wha—

Logan: Maybe they're transgender. Don't be a bigot, Remus.

Remus: I'M NOT—

Remus: Wait—

Remus: Am I being a bigot???

Logan: I don't know, are you? You're assuming their gender aligns with their sex.

Remus: *now having a crisis*

Janus, walking past, unable to help it: So you could say they're... Transgendeer.

Logan, hopping up, beating Janus with a pillow: I'm trying to escape Patton's constant puns, goddamnit!

So far every side name has two syllables.

Ro/man.

Ja/nus. (or Jan/us, depends on how you say it)

Re/mus.

Pat/ton.

Lo/gan.

Vir/gil.

Even Thom/as and Ni/co have two syllables.

Heck, even E/mile and Re/my have two syllables.

What if the next side doesn't? What if it's like, Craig or something?

Even Apollo (a common orange-side name theory, after Logan's comment about wishing Apollo had more of an influence in WTIT) would mess with the pattern, being A/pol/lo

Patton, poking his head into the dark side lounge: Hey, it's time for d—

Remus: *knees pulled into his chest, having a crisis, mumbling about reindeer*

Logan: *beating Janus over the head and shoulders with a pillow, yelling at him*

Janus: *trying to duck Logan and laughing, saying something about not regretting anything*

Virgil: *sitting in an armchair, on his phone*

Virgil, looking up: Hey, Padre. Dinner?

Patton: *nods*

Patton: Is this... Are they okay?

Virgil: Oh, this is just a Wednesday. 's why I'm always with you and Roman.

Patton: Please... Feel free to come to our side anytime.

Remus, proud of knowing something: Logan. I have a fact.

Logan, not looking up from his book: Proceed.

Remus: Male reindeers lose their antlers in the winter, while female reindeers don't. All of Santa's reindeers have antlers, meaning they're all female, but the media says they're men because they don't want a team of strong females depicted.

#hes washing it its fine

Oh man I can only imagine Roman wearing Janus's bowler hat in the shower, he would get so mad like:

Janus: this iS GENUINE RABBIT FUR WHAT ARE YOU DOING DON'T YOU HAVE ANY COMMON SENSE YOU'RE SUPPOSED TO BE THE FASHION EXPERT

Roman, crying: PLEASE STOP YELLING AT ME

Accidentally Walking In On A Side In The Shower: Janus Version

(There is a see-through glass shower door unless otherwise specified)

Janus: Where'd you put my hat?

Roman, having hung a towel over the glass shower door, knowing this would happen: I don't know what you mean.

Janus: You know I can tell when you're lying, right?

Roman, smugly: Yep.

Janus: Where’d— oh, god, sorry— *sinks out*

Patton, blushing red from head to toe, whispering: Did that just happen?

Janus: Where— nope— *sinks out*

Logan: ?

Janus: Where’d Roman put my hat?

Virgil, invisible behind a black shower curtain: *hiss*

Janus: *hisses back*

Janus: Did Roman tell you where he put my hat?

Remus, for once not wearing clothes like a normal person: No. I still think he took my morning star.

Janus: Hm. *starts to sink out*

Remus: Wh— wait! Is that it?

Janus: This isn’t a porn, Remus. I asked you a question, now I leave.

Remus: It could be…

Janus: No. It literally can’t.

Remus, sighing: I saw it in the freezer.

Janus: Thank you.

Remus, getting a new idea: If you get it out now, it might take a minute to defrost.

Janus: You’re stubborn, you know that?

Remus: :(

Janus: I’ll be right back

Remus: :D

So you mean to tell me that a red himbo with self-esteem issues, a father with no son but has spirit, a teen stuck in his emo phase, Google with emotions on incognito, a lawyer with a Self-Care agenda, and Sin ALL make up a man with a flower obsession??
