i know acording to Damen Theomedes treated them both equally and according to Kastor he favoured Damen.

But in my mind he actually favoured Kastor, because he loved Hypermenestra so much. To me he had an more emotional relationship to Kastor, since he was younger when he got him, and actually got to have that father-sond bonding time. With Damen he was scared that he'd die as well like all the miscarriages before, like Egeria. And then he was just happy to finally have that legitimate heir, and he wanted to get everything right. So Damen got anything he wanted and needed, but their relationship never got that emotional quality.

it also would make sense in the way that Damens oblivious ass would have never realised it (just as he didn't realise his brother actually hated him) and also Kastor wouldn't have realised it in his blind jealousy against Damen.

It would also make it even more tragic.

No Nut November GC

I saw this tiktok that made me think... what if our capri boys did this.

Setting the scene I think modern au Lazar and Orlant get drunk at a halloween party and this is where the group chat stems from. Orlant thinks that lazar can't go a whole month without sex because that's all that is on his mind 24/7

Obviously Lazar thinks different and more highly of his self control. He doesn’t immediately agree to the bet until Orlant ignores his protests, Ancel makes a smartass comment, and Laurent raises an eyebrow like “really you wanna go there?”

When they get back home piss drunk lazar is in bed mocking what everyone has said about him and making himself more angry and upset.

Before he knocks out he goes to snapchat and creates a group chat with Him, Orlant, Laurent, Damen, Nikandros, Ancel, Berenger, Kallias, and Erasmus and titles it NO NUT NOVEMBER.

the boys are too tired to even acknowledge it so they leave it alone to deal with in the morning

So everyone is awake and lively the next day lazar immediately sends a text along the lines of “GOOD MORNING BITCHES! seems like a good month to enjoy abstain from those sinful delights.”

Everyone immediately tells him to fuck off and why is this even a thing. (They really need to stop making new group chats for everything.)

Ancel is the first one to leave before anything is even explained. When Lazar adds him back he tells them it could be a good way to make some money. To which he replies that he doesn’t need money and he rather fuck when he wants without consequences.

Everyone Nikandros is a betting man but he also worries about his friends boundaries because this does not seem like a normal thing that friends share with one another.

Laurent is game since he is competitive and its not like he hasn’t abstain from sexual activities before.

Damen on the other hand hates this whole thing and is convincing Laurent that this is not fair to him because everyone knows he's the next weakest link.

Laurent says that if they do this then they can have a nice date night with the money they make off their friends. To which Damen mulls over since date nights are always fun but that's still a long time to wait. Eventually he shuts up though since Laurent made up his mind.

Berenger doesn’t talk at all in the gc other than to tell them that this is idiotic and invasion of privacy. Everyone ignores him though. 

He doesn’t last that long in there anyways though because Ancel and his constant devious attention

Kallias and Erasmus are confused at first but also game because it seems like fun. They know no sense of boundaries with one another so it doesn’t bother them. They also make it pretty far into november, except kallias breaks first and then Erasmus quickly follows.

The main contenders are Nikandros, Laurent, Lazar, and Orlant. Which they are all surprised about.

Nikandro is too work focused that he doesn’t have time to nut.

Laurent has been fighting off Damens art of seduction

Orlant is just not having it to piss off Lazar.

Lazar is slowly dying from being touch starved but he’ll be damned if his friends give him shit.

November is almost over and laurent ended up losing the pool when damen and him reconciled after spending some time apart due to work traveling. Orlant loses as well and Lazar hates him because it was after they decided to go to Maks Bar and he got a drunk hookup in the bathroom.

So it’s really up to Lazar and Nikandros. The GC only contains the two of them and Lazar constantly blows it up bothering Nik about questions about how he’s holding up. To which Nik just says he stays busy and doesn’t mind. 

Lazar is of course dramatic and describes how he feels like he's a man lost out in see craving the touch and sight of another person.

Nikandros can't stand the wallowing so he silents the gc. He doesn’t know how he can handle one more week of Lazar bothering him and describing his old sex adventures in too much detail. 

He ends up lying and throwing the bet because if he has to listen to Lazar describe another orgy he will strangle the man.

Lazar is relieved he won and celebrates by fucking two men later that night.

Nik tells Lazar the truth weeks later when Lazar brings up his victory once again over drinks with the guys.

I didn’t go into so much detail as I would like to but this was a quick thought I had that I wanted to share.

Follow me on twitter if you wanna see more hc/aus I have for the guys.

since my post about theomedes relationship to his sons is getting some attention, i also want to share my thoughts about Kastors and Damens mothers.

lets start with Hypermenestra. Theomedes seems to have genuinely loved her and it wasn’t a secret. the only obstacle was that her birth was too low for becoming queen, whereas Egeria could even trace her bloodline back to the old kings.

interestingly we don't know much else about her, except that she gave birth to Kastor 9 years before Damen was born - apparently to that time Egeria and Theomedes had already been married long enough and suffered enough miscarriages to make everyone think Egeria couldn't bring a child to term.

Curiously they still kept trying for another decade, which either is due to Egerias prominent position within Akielon royalty as a descendant of the old kings or to the fact that Theomedes actually liked her enough to keep trying

Interestingly, we don't know anything else about Hypermenestras fate. she seems to not have been at Theomedes deathbed (he told Kastor about his love for him and his mother), she also is listed as "from the past" in the index, which indicates that she might already be dead.

but when did she die? recently? did Damen know her?

that made me consider she might also have died shortly after Kastors birth. Then Egeria would have been the only "mother" (in a way) Kastor knew.

Egeria couldn't have her own children at that time, but we hear nothing about resentment towards Kastor. Instead the first 9 years of his life he was treated as the heir to the throne, which means Egeria would probably either have been acted indifferent towards him, or even taken him under her wings.

now consider, Hypermenestra dying when he was only a toddler (or younger) and Egeria actually treating him like her own son, because he was her husbands son and she had none of her own. (it also makes me think of Octavia, the sister of Augustus, who raised several of Marc Anthony's children alongside her own after his treason and death and therefore was painted as the roman ideal of motherhood.)

so if thats the case, Kastor would have considered Egeria as his own mother.

Now think about her death in childbirth and everything that was promised to him being given to Damen.

Damen didn’t only "steal" his right to the throne and his fathers favour, he took his mother away completely.

it would also add even another layer of tragedy, because not only did Kastor loose two mothers, he also lost any claim to the one he actually knew.

Theomedes telling him how much he loved Hypermenestra then turns into a cruel taunt for Kastor, because that's not the women he knew as his mother. it ceases to acknowledge his possible love for Egeria
