What actor would you cast to play Zeus in a mythology based movie?

tbh probably like Jeff Bridges if he could pull of a personality cross between Hannibal Lecter and Robin Thicke.

I have a question about two of my main characters (one filipino/mexican, one chinese, both US-born) . Due to their parents' work situation, they each spent a lot of time in each others' homes when they were young and essentially consider themselves siblings with 3 parents. How much would it be appropriate for them to identify with each other's culture, in the way an adopted child might, and when does it start to be appropriation?

Identifying with a Friend's Culture?

In my opinion, it wouldn’t be appropriate for them at all. For example: one of my good friends is Japanese, and we’ve known each other since middle school up until adulthood. While we’ve certainly shared a great deal of our cultures with each other, I don’t think either of us would identify as the other’s culture. I wouldn’t call myself Japanese just because I was close friends with one.

Is there a fandom word for platonic shipping? Because "I platonically ship X and Y" is so many syllables, but I don't want to say "i totally ship them," because it implies romance. I personally use the term FriendShipping but I don't know if that's widespread or a me thing. Plus "I friendship them so hard" just sounds kinda weird if you don't know what it's supposed to mean.

I don't know if there's a universally agreed-upon term for platonic shipping. I've heard "friendshipping", just plain "shipping", and "brotp" all used, but people have a lot of very strong opinions about which is best. Followers, any suggestions?
