Rating things my friends have said to me regarding my occasional Greek mythology yaps/crashouts

"In Achilles' defence, I'd probably crash out too if my twink died *looks lovingly at her mildly horrified boyfriend*" 6/10. Valid. Zero actual defence but I think she found a favorite war criminal. Points lost for being a yucky couple

"Man don't you just hate it when you go outside to see your sun boyfriend and get turned into a plant?" 9/10 yeah I'd probably hate it. I love Apollo stories. They bring me joy

"Yall are stupid of course Hades is evil have you EVER seen Hercules?" -1000/10 jump. Jump. Jump. Jump.

"PAUSE. If I fight Hypnos will I sleep better" 8/10. Probably not. But we live for the will to do something. Please do not attempt to fist fight Hypnos

"Somebody PLEASE get this sad pathetic wet man his wife" 10/10 I agree. Somebody get Odysseus of Ithaca his wife.

"I fear I need Persephone up here right now it is TOO DAMN COLD" 5/10. It was indeed, too damn cold. But please. Allow my girl time with her husband.

“She shoveled in mac and cheese, fighting a mounting desire to...she didn't know what. Move. Scream. Flip her plate and fling her dinner everywhere, just to see what happened. At the same time, a separate part of her---distant, yet disapproving---observed her every impulse. Judged her every impulse, and made Darya feel as if she were a Bad Person. Oh, just shut up, she told her brain, but her brain didn't listen. She wondered if other people's thoughts crashed and bounced about like this, or if she was broken somehow.”

"You ask if we cats can see ghosts. Don't you know that there are things in this world that are better left a mystery?"

10/10

“Frodo: I wish the Ring had never come to me. I wish none of this had happened. Gandalf: So do all who live to see such times, but that is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given to us.” 

8.5/10

a bit sentimental but good anyway

“Where there's life there's hope, and need of vittles.” 

100/10

vittles means food right?

"Always hit where the mark isn't looking."

"Who's Mark?" asked Wylan.

10/10
