speak of the devil

to hate is an easy lazy thing // to love takes strength everyone has // but not all are willing to practice

Let us find the dam snack bar," Zoe said. "We should eat while we can."

Grover cracked a smile. "The dam snack bar?"

Zoe blinked. "Yes. What is funny?"

"Nothing," Grover said, trying to keep a straight face. "I could use some dam french fries."

Even Thalia smiled at that. "And I need to use the dam restroom."

The one you threw off the roof, at my place? He’s in a coma. How do you feel about that?

Reference to Hannibal the novel in Antipasto (S03E01):

It is true that Dr. Lecter created the vacancy at the Palazzo Capponi by removing the former curator - a simple process requiring a few seconds’ work on the old man and a modest outlay for two bags of cement - but once the way was clear he won the job fairly, demonstrating to the Belle Arti Committee an extraordinary linguistic capability, sight-translating medieval Italian and Latin from the densest Gothic black-letter manuscripts. He has found a peace here that he would preserve - he has killed hardly anybody, except his predecessor, during his residence in Florence.

Honestly in all of these stories these poetic white men who somehow end up immortal get so bored and miserable because they just sit in their mansion all day doing whatever it is they need to do in order to sustain their immortality and then they just throw lavish parties and organize orgies or whatever and then they’re like “why am I sad I eat three course meals and have at least one orgy daily what MORE could I POSSIBLY need??”

Like???? Damn go for a walk. Do you even KNOW your neighbors? Get a dog and take it to the park. Set up an elaborate fish tank. Go skiing like you’ve been alive for 200 years and you’ve spent 180 of it in your house looking at paintings and drinking wine with other rich assholes no wonder ur life sucks my man.

Buy a canoe.
