I understand what this stick figure is feeling
I’m really glad there’s a prequel cereal so we can learn more about the lore
This is actually how these two finished the 200m Semi-finals.
DONT ASK ME THIS, THIS IS HOW THE TROJAN WAR STARTED, I DONT WANT THIS MAN
Right away, Aphrodite popped into my head.
And then I’m just like, “DAMMIT, DID YOU LEARN NOTHING FROM PARIS? YOU ARE AN EMBARRASSMENT, AND NOW ALL THE TROJANS ARE DEAD. I HOPE YOU’RE HAPPY.”
If you are ever actually in this situation, pro-tip: name Persephone. Half the goddesses will be too surprised to smite you immediately and while Hades won’t do you any favors he may at least high-five you while your on your way down.
Another tip: name Mesperyian. Not only will you shock everyone, including her (since Aphrodite was a jealous ho who burnt half her face off), but you’ll win Hades’ favour. As his most beloved daughter, anything that praises her will make you a kind human to her, an okay human to him, and a genuinely good person to anyone else.
I heartily endorse this alternative answer.
I love how all of this advice leads to “please Hades at all costs.”

My favorite New Yorker cartoon in years.
I approve of punctuation jokes.
I approve of jokes that take diversity as the jumping-off point for finding quirky punchlines instead of using it as the punchline itself. Nice nice.

LIKENESS SCALE: <3<3<3< (3.5)
MY THOUGHTS:
I bought this book in the local thrift book shop (booksale). The synopsis got my attention because of the phrase “she was rudely attacked by a vampire, breaking all standards of social etiquette”.The story also had werewolves, vampires and preternaturals / soulless. Its setting is in the victorian era. This novel is like a Jane Austen novel with paranormals as gentlemen and a parasol wielding spinster.
The reading experience was fun. I enjoyed the conversations between Miss Tarabotti and Lord Maccon. My rating is such because the novel for me started slow. It became more exciting after reading 100 pages. Also, the author describes everything to the detail which I greatly appreciate. However, this may destroy the pace of the novel. Despite this, I definitely enjoyed the book and as usual I am looking to reading the other books under this series.
