I Had A Thought About DreamSMP Characters (yes It's Over Now But I Still Think About It Sometimes)

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

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)

I miss when people would throw candy at me from parades; I'm far too old now, I get passed by.

To clarify, I am not asking for solutions, or getting upset at parade participants for not throwing candy at me. I am simply saying that I miss it.

Now, I'm no expert by any means, but I've been following Fish long enough that I can say with a fair amount of confidence that this post was going to end with something along the lines of:

"you're loved, and dehydrated, those aren't related but please drink water"

I got very sleepy all of the sudden I am seconds away from falling asleep I'm typing this post with the last of my energy please remember me please make the world a better place, you're lo

I'm so glad so many other people appreciate this ship too, I thought it was more controversial than it is XD

Remus: When you pet a cat real good and it leans into your touch so hard it flops over? That's the shit.

Logan: Or when a cat kneads you with its little paws? Absolute heaven.

Janus: When a cat pushes away your book and flops down where it was so you pay attention to it instead of the book.

Patton, who just appeared to tell them it's dinnertime, eyes full of tears: Yeah that's the best haha anyway dinner is ready

Logan, fluffing Patton's hair: When you play with Pat's hair and he turns pink because he's adorable.

Patton, blushing: *incoherent stammers*

Janus, sliding his arms around Patton's waist from behind: Or when you hug Pat because he's so soft and cuddly.

Patton, blushing deeper: *more incoherent stammers*

Remus: When your boyfriend's holding Pat so you can do this:

Remus: *kisses Patton on the cheek*

Patton, bright red:

Logan. "Why don't you believe ghosts are real?"

Janus. "I've never seen one."

Logan. "Okay, I mean, there's a lot of things that you can't see that you— that are real."

Janus. "What can't I see?"

Logan. "You can't see gravity, that's real."

Janus. "Yeah, I can drop an apple."

Logan. "Fuck."

#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

Thomas: *peacefully drawing*

Remus: Hey haha what if you like... Violently jerked your pen to the side

Thomas: ...Why?

Remus: Idk man it'd be fun just whoosh y'know

Remus: Like you could do it right now nothing's stopping you

Thomas: ...

Thomas: *violently jerks pen to the side*

Drawing: *is ruined*

Thomas:

Remus:

Remus: Yikes that wasn't a good idea was it

Thomas: Nope.

(Source: I just did this, rip my drawing of Patton lmao)

Same on the tentacles, holy shit on the art that's fantastic

Well, you could not expect that you will throw out the tea party with the theme of Mad Max and I will not draw Remus for this

Can you imagine Remus trying for hours to create a perfectly normal animal for Patton for his birthday but he's running out of time so like

Remus: *pops up, holding creature*

Roman: *immediately draws sword* Are you trying to KI—

Remus: No! No, no, it's not a cat.

Creature: *looks exactly like a cat*

Remus: Well, not really. See, I made it look like a cat, cuz Patton loves cats, but he's allergic. So it's not really a cat.

Roman: *half-lowers sword* How do we know you're telling the truth?

Remus: Um... If I was trying to be evil, I'd do it much more bluntly?

Roman: *sheaths sword* That's true.

Patton, looking at the creature: Aw, kiddo, it's so cute! Does it have a name?

Remus: Um, no, I thought I'd let you name it. If— if you want it.

Patton: Of course I do! Aw, that's so sweet of you.

Remus: *hands creature to Patton* Just be kinda careful, I'm still new to making normal creatures, so it might be a bit—

Creature: *starts to yawn, as it's mouth gets widest it breaths a spiral of fire, closes its mouth and does a little mlem at the end*

Remus: ...odd.

Everyone: *carefully watching Patton's reaction*

Patton: Kiddo...

Patton: ...I LOVE IT! Oh my goodness!

Patton, scratching the creature's stomach, in a baby-voice: Who's the cutest little not-kitty? You are! Who's my cute little fire-breathing-cat-lookalike? You are!

Remus, softly: *eyes tearing up* He likes it.

Roman: *solemnly sets hand on his shoulder* You did good. You're making us proud as a club member.

Remus: *sniffle* I like this club.
