Ugh, I know I'm gonna be hot in like five minutes because doing this podcast gets me really heated, but I'm gonna keep my sweat around for now. It's your riled up. Welcome. Hello.
Greetings. Hello. Hello. Salutation.
Guten Tag. Mmm. Oh, spicy. World cultures.
Okay. I see you. Someone, we're gonna have like a listener from Germany who's gonna be like, I can't listen to this anymore because that was so bad. But on the bright side, Erin, technically, Guten Tag is a quote from Little Women, the musical.
So how does that make you feel? Perfect. Good. Yes.
Good. Yeah. So this is Lory Limbaugh, German lessons for idiots.com. Me poorly saying the word Guten Tag.
And then... So we telling you which musical it's in? Done. The end.
Anyway, this is Lory Limbaugh. Yeah. We love musicals and Lory Olympus. And this is episode 50 and we will be covering chapters 99 and 100.
Triple digits, triple digits. Where we're making good fucking progress. Triple D, now I'm saying? That's me.
Triple D. That's me too. So it's not my bra size. It's just I can only...
It's just my grade. I can only live her into the point of writing D three times. All right. All right.
All right. All right. So let's just let's come back. Do it.
Okay. So guys, if you'll remember, we're hot on the heels of all this Apollo shit. Hot off the presses. Hot off the...
That's what I was gonna say. And then I was like, I think there's a different phrase. I think there's a word that goes here. Um, anyway, so we just dealt with that for like eight episodes.
Yeah. But arrows just showed up to save the day. Yeah. And Apollo was being like, oh, I know more about you than you realize, but like, he doesn't actually know objection about her and is just psychoanalyzing her.
Like, there's no way he knows anything about her active wrath or anything important. Yeah. With his little, oh god. I, Zoe, I found myself getting increasingly angry about the cut of his shirt as these panels progressed.
Like, I just had three panels. I was like, I hate you. I hate this. I hate your wide ass shirt that's like off the shirt.
Like, fuck you. And you know, he would have paid like $300 for this. At least it's like custom made from the Kanye line. Like, that's the energy we're gonna do.
I once again could not even think of a nice designer. I was like, I was like teaching sex again. I don't think Apollo is a mexinista. I'm sure.
So yeah, Persephone is just screaming at him. What could you possibly know about me? And he's like touching his cheek where arrows his arrow hit him. And Persephone in this panel where she's screaming at him and like, what could you possibly know about me?
She's like listening. There are these like sparkles all around her, which I thought was super interesting. And I was not entirely sure what to make of that. Like, is this supposed to be her entering a powerful zone?
Or like, maybe she's like leveling up into like, yeah, exactly, stronger, more powerful women energy. I don't know. Yeah, I don't know. But it was very interesting.
Yeah. And then Apollo is just staring at the bigger on his fingers, to which I say, bleed bitch. And so he's like just being a little bitch. And he says in this what I can only say is an offhand way.
You're a fertility goddess. Yeah. And she just looks confused and is like, I'm not. And then he keeps going and is like, either you knowing you're lying or your mother knows and she's lying to you or you're both living in willful ignorance.
Which I think we've talked about this before, but I definitely feel like Demeter is just lying by omission on this one. 100% totally agree. Yeah. And he goes on to say like, lucky for us, I love this as full of idiots and no one can see you for what you really are.
And I was like, but everyone, everyone knows this. Exactly. This is the most poorly kept secret in this year. Oh, of total 100%.
Also, what does he mean by lucky for us? Yeah. I found that interesting. That's a really good point.
Yeah. That's a really good point. Does he think that if people knew she was a fertility goddess, they couldn't be together or like she would have more suitors or something. Yeah.
Or like she would have duties that she wouldn't want. But that's not related to him. Maybe it's just nothing about him and he's just including himself in it for no reason. Yeah.
Because he's like, oh, we're a team now. Right. Right. And the other thing about this panel is that arrows has just continued to shoot arrows.
Like it was not a one arrow situation. He's just flinging them as fast as he can. To which I say, I love the energy arrows. However, shouldn't you be a better archer than this?
Exactly. Arrows, you and Artemis need to go practice your goddamn archery somewhere because this is embarrassing for both of you. Yeah. Like Apollo's a god.
You're not going to kill him. Yeah. Shoot him. You can't.
Shut him up. Yeah. Like he'll be fine. It's just to stop him from talking.
Yeah. Why is your aim not better? What are you doing? And so then at that moment, arrows burst through the window and like shatters the glass that was already cracked from his arrows.
Yeah. And he's yelling, leave my friend alone or I swear I'll ruin any chance you have of ever finding love. Yeah. And when he comes in, the room changes to blue instead of like the pink and purple it had been.
Like now all the true. True. True. Yeah.
Good point. Yeah. I was considering doing a little side quest here. I don't think we necessarily have to talk about Daphne yet.
We can talk about Daphne and Daphne episodes, but I thought it would be fun to explore a couple of Apollo's most famous love stories because he fucking made the rounds. And a lot of the people I don't think we're ever going to see in Laurel and this. Yeah. It would be fun to just touch on two of them.
Yeah. The fun side quests. Cool. So we're again, we're saving Daphne for later, but which one do you want to hear first?
Aaron Hyacinth or Cassandra? Oh, um Hyacinth because I don't know that one. Okay. So basically there was just this mortal dude named Hyacinth who was like, I love a gay story though.
Yes. Who was like a handsome young Spartan prince? So Hyacinth was in a love triangle with Apollo and Zephyrus. Zephyrus is the West Wind.
Oh, okay. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.
So basically both Zephyrus and Apollo totally love Hyacinth. Dude, how? Why Zoey? Imagine having sex with the wind.
That would be a dry experience. That would be some Daphne Daphne. Let me tell you. Like that is I am just trying to imagine that and that is a time.
I think that would be terrible. Yeah. I don't. I don't.
I can't imagine it would be good either. But yeah. So that's the situation. And so and you know, maybe if you have a penis, it's fine because the wind can just like stroke it.
Maybe, you know, maybe. Anyway, so one day Apollo and Hyacinth were out being jocks playing discus in the yard, which discus is just like frisbee. Something's never changed. And Zephyrus saw them playing in the yard and was feeling super jealous.
Like, bitch, I'm going to steal this frisbee. Kind of, but worse. He sweeps the discus over the discus that Apollo threw towards Hyacinth and he sweeps it into Hyacinth's neck and decapitates him and he fucking dies. Super sad because he really loved him.
And so he like didn't let Hades take his soul and instead he turned him into the flower Hyacinth. So it's like a real narcissist situation. Yeah. That story was very fun because there was one thing that happened in that story, which I really enjoy.
Done. I wonder like if you're one of those mortals who the gods for whatever reason are obsessed with. Do you want to be turned into a plant? Like, is that really better for you?
I don't know. Sometimes I hear stories in mythology that's like, oh, and then Athena took pity on her and turned her into a rock. Yeah. And it's like, well, wouldn't it be better to just fix a fix her problem?
Like you could just fucking fix the thing she's sad about because you're a god or be let her go to the underworld and just like do her normal thing. Yeah, like live in the gardens of Alicia or whatever it is. Yeah. I don't know.
Maybe you, you're like cognitive abilities change when you get turned into an anemone object and you just love it. Maybe. You're like, this is I am orgasming 24 seven just from being a rock. Little do most people know being a rock is an extremely sexual experience.
Oh, okay. Are you ready to hear about Cassandra, which it sounds like you already know some about rip Cassandra. Yeah. Okay.
So so Apollo, like among all his shit that he's got of one thing is he's got a prophecy, right? And so that means that he can also grant the gift of prophecy to other people. So Cassandra was this like mortal princess of Troy super hot, of course. Apollo notices that she's super hot and he tries to woo her by being like, oh yeah, all your other mortal suitors are like fine and stuff.
I could grant you the gift of prophecy. And so Cassandra's just like, yeah, okay, I'll take that. I'll take prophecy. Yeah, sure.
Yeah, that's so raving me up. Exactly. And then she gets it. And then Apollo is like, okay, I bought you dinner now.
You have to sleep with me basically. Exactly. The perfect description. And she's like, no, like I just wanted the gift of prophecy.
You offered. I took it. Fuck off. Yeah, this little person does a sale or a trade.
Yeah. And so instead of just taking away her gift of prophecy when he's pissed, which would be no for an answer. Right. Right.
But instead he spits in her mouth. That's really erotic. And by spitting in her mouth, he makes it so that all of her prophecies are 100% accurate, but literally no one will ever believe that. Oh, God.
Cassandra's so sad. Yeah. So basically, she's like walking around and she's during the time of the Trojan War and she's being like, look, if you do this, it's going to start a 10 year war. And everyone's just like, look lady, you're a little hysterical right now.
Can you calm down? I think you're on your period. Exactly. Oh, God.
And then everything bad always happens to know and listens to her. And then she goes insane. I think that's the Greek myth that upsets me the most for some reason. Like that one is the worst one.
It sucks. It sucks. It sucks. It's just such an allegory, you know.
Yeah. All right. So there we go. Side quest complete.
That was a fun side quest thing. Oh, my pleasure. Yeah. So he throws up and he's like, I swear to motherfucking God, I'm going to fucking end you if you don't leave.
Yeah. We get this amazing panel of the two of them facing off with like purple bitch versus like beautiful lilac hero. And they just aren't looking like they're going to fight each other. And I'm like, please fight.
Please fight. But honestly, I feel like this would be a kind of even match. They're pretty much the same size. I would much rather see like Aries and Apollo, you know, my kingdom, my kingdom, my kingdom for an Aries versus Apollo one on one match up.
Can you fucking imagine? Aries has never been happier. Aries truly would be orgasming the entire time. It would activate every sadistic bone in his body.
He would be 100% committed. Yes. Oh, God. But Apollo's just a little bitch.
And he just looks down at Persephone and goes, see you Friday and apparates away. Yeah. And then Persephone is just very sad and exhausted. Of course she is.
It needs a nice comforting Aries friendship hug, which is very, what she care and good. And she's standing on Aries's feet on her tiptoes. It's very cute. It's very cute.
And truly God bless these booty shorts. God bless. I live for his sense of fashion. Yes.
He's an interesting, because I would not use the word androgynous to describe him, but he's both very masculine in some ways and very feminine in other ways. But it's like instead of living in the middle of that spectrum, he ties both ends. It's very interesting. Aries is such an interesting example of gender expression.
Like he's a very cool character. So yeah, Persephone is crying and Aries is still hugging her and comforting her. Yeah. Yeah.
Like girl, yes. You had a major trauma just now. Yeah. And they're just hugging in the middle of all this shattered glass.
And I'm like, how did we never have a scene where Artemis comes home and sees all this broken glass in her house? And it's like, what happened? I feel like there's a non-zero chance that Artemis would just be like, oh, maybe I did that during archery or something. Yeah, that must be it.
And then she just starts going, I'm going to be like, for school, I have to get to class. And Eros is like, reach out to her. Yeah, please don't. And so Eros is chasing after and being like, Persephone, you can't go to class like this.
Eros is all of us. Yeah. This is perfect. Yeah.
And she's crying. And she's like angry crying at this point. But also, I'm sure overwhelmed crying. Yeah.
And Eros is just like, Persephone, I have to put my foot down in the softest but also firmest way. Please for me, do not go to class today. Yeah. Also, you know, Eros is like, I never once took a test in past.
I never for a day in my life paid any attention to anything academic. Right. Don't worry about it. God.
And so they like sit on her bed and Eros looks so worried about her. And she just kind of collapses onto his shoulder, baby girl. Yeah. And she goes, okay, thank God.
Yeah. And he starts to be like, do you want to come to my house? Like, I promise my mom will be on her best behavior. She's a little preoccupied right now anyway.
And I was like, you cannot make promises. You can't keep away. Like, do not promise that. You don't know.
Right. And also, I was like, does he mean she's a little preoccupied having reunion sex with Aries? That's that is what I thought. Yeah.
Like she's busy. Yeah, trust me. In a lot of ways. Yeah.
And then he goes, we can talk about the situation with like a question mark at the end of it. And she's just kind of like, I don't really want to like, I'm really tired. I don't want to right now. I'm like, good for you for saying you don't want to talk about it.
You know, and eventually she's like, you know what I want sugar. Yeah. That's what my motherfucking wants. This is you.
Correct. Correct. This is big air and energy. Exapt big air and energy would be can you bake something for me?
Big air and energy would be like, can you go to CVS and I mean, every king says chocolate bar you see. Exactly. Exactly. Exactly.
She goes, can we bake something? And I'm like, no, there's no we. There's no we. There's absolutely no we.
There's a you obtaining chocolate for me. Rest assured, it will not be food if I bake it. Oh, God. Yeah.
He's just like, heck yeah, we can. And eventually, Percy's just like, okay, I do have a question though. Who's this purple bitch? I my I this is so funny.
I know. So I know. It's so awkward watching this. Oh my God.
I am standing uncomfortably in the corner because she doesn't know what the fuck to do. Right. And arrows, I get it like your priority was just like, go to Persephone, focus on Persephone. But like, there is another person in the room.
Like, you're having an emotional conversation with her. And there is this person here. Yeah. Because when he first showed up, I was like, where is Amplus?
She was on him. Yeah. And glad to know she didn't just like fall off of the face of the planet. Yep.
She's just gently waiting. Yep. And so we scroll down and we see the title panel and it's episode 99 Cupid's Arrow. Yeah.
And the first panel we see is Persephone and arrows flying through the air and Amplus is on arrows his back and it's all very cute. And Amplus is super high gold ponytail. Amazing. Like, genie vibes, you know.
Yeah. And she is working with shit out of it. Also, I cannot believe Persephone is pulling off his hairstyle. Aaron, you bet your fucking bottom dollar.
I have seven notes about that. Like, what the fuck is this? I would, I would truly look like a 12 year old boy with a spotlight directly on my neck fat if I had my hair in this fucking low ponytail like this. And like, somehow, no matter how recently I had washed my hair, it would be greasy.
Guarantee. There's no way around it. This hairstyle summons grease to your hair. From the surrounding hair.
It sucks it from your point. Yeah. It like calls magnetically all the grease from your surroundings. Truly, truly.
I cannot imagine a less flattering hairstyle on a real life person. And yeah. It's like, when it is, it's not just a low ponytail at the base of her neck. It's like a ponytail.
Which is already unflattering and terrible. Who the fuck can only Amy Santiago can pull that off? But this is like the squirt. She is like below her shoulder blades.
Yeah. And like mid back. This I would look like a male juvenile potato. Also none of my hairs would be in the ponytail.
It would look like I was just a mess and something was caught in my hair. You have 14 hairs to begin with. And then by the time we're done, there's only like seven in the ponytail holder. That's such a good point.
Imagine how just like both sides hold exactly. Exactly. And would you feel like a weird rat tail? Okay.
All right. Well, we know what we're doing for our next cosplay. Oh my God. That would be so, Zoe.
I like, I can't even imagine. Erin, we would be so ugly. We would just be like, I especially when we compare it to Persephone in this episode who looks perfect. She truly looks like a goddess.
Oh God. So yeah. So they're flying. Yeah.
And they're a fashion collective. And Amplus, she gets progressively more relatable as the comic goes on because every interaction she's in, she's just like, I don't I don't know how to handle this. I don't know what to do with me here. And she just starts she's like, well, I understand how you feel.
And I'm like, first off, no, you like, I'm sure you have some understanding, but that's a bold way to start anything. And she goes, once I almost had to marry someone against my will and Persephone gets her this like sad and scared look. And she's like, that's not gonna happen to you though. Anyway, it's fine.
And I'm like, girl, same. Yeah. And then she just starts to feel even more awkward when arrows goes, oh, I didn't know that about you Amplus. How did you get out of it?
And she's like, I know I'm like, and she's like, well, it's just really lucky. And arrows is like, wow, that's super big. Yeah. And just like goes back to flying happily.
And I'm like, arrows is perfect. But also, okay, Zoe, we have to revisit this again. Do we think he knows and is just playing dumb or is he just incredibly dumb? He's he is denser than Artemis.
He is emotional intelligence is through the roof is external emotional intelligences through the roof. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.
But like, damn boy, like he got a lot of empathy and nothing else. Yeah, like what is going on? Oh, Lord, also, I had a quick fun fact about Amplus. Do you want to hear it?
Yeah. Okay. So in mythology, there are two people named Amplus, neither of them are psyche and disguise, as far as I know. But one of them is the name of a dry ad nymph.
And she has a nymph of the vine. So she's affiliated with Dionysus. Fun. We love some Dionysus affiliation.
And the other Amplus is also affiliated with Dionysus. But this is the name of a male cedar who was one of Dionysus's lovers. Oh, and he was like killed by a bull. And then he was turned into a vine when he died.
So it might be like someone said, Amplus is affiliated with the vine. And then the next oral storyteller like made up some other shit about that, you know, like it might be interesting. Or it might be just like two people in the same mythology, whatever. But it occurred to me that there's a chance that Rachel made Amplus purple, not just to go with that variety of stories, but like as a little nod to the wine or she was like, what's a good name for a purple nymph?
Probably this one has to do with grapes. Yeah, that's a really good fun fact. Thank you. Full of fun facts today.
Thanks. We've exhausted them. So I'm just going to be stupid and boring from now on. Well, that's disappointing.
And so it's like, I guess I dodged this bullet for now. Also do I really like this guy? He's so dumb. Right.
And like arrows is not pursuing it at all. Like after he goes, that's super vague. He immediately starts humming to himself and smiling like that never happened. He has not even a spark of curiosity.
And he was like, oh, la la la. What am I going to wear tomorrow? Exactly. Like I hope there's still leftovers spaghetti in the fridge.
So they they touched down and then they walk into the kitchen and arrows is yelling, we're home. I didn't do any of the stupid chores you asked me to do. Also, Persephone is here. So nobody embarrass me.
And so arrows go, so what are we making? And Persephone points to this extremely complicated recipe for custard souffle cheese cake, to which I say, there's no chocolate in that. How will this make you feel better? That that is your party line.
Yes. That is that is if I were going to run for office, that would truly be my party line. I think it might just be chocolate like that, like that little fish in SpongeBob, who just wants to buy chocolate. I'm related to that guy my whole life.
Okay. So after 70 points to the complicated thing that doesn't have any chocolate in it, we hear a voice from off screen, which is saying what we're saying and just saying like, I don't know, man, that looks fucking hard. Yeah. And it turns out to be Aries and Aeros is going, dad, what did I just bellow?
Like, why are you embarrassing me? Like, I just told you to not be embarrassing. It was not hard to forget that I'm talking just and my note about this panel is arms, arms, arms, arms. Yes.
That is correct. Like this, this episode is when Aries starts to be good. And so this is the episode in which we can begin the last after him exact all fours. Yes.
This episode and the next one truly did a 180 on Aries from Aries. Amen. Amen. Because I was right out on him before this.
And I was truly 100% in after these. Yes. And Persephone here is Aries yelling at Aries and like calling him dad. And she's just like, dad, like he's your dad.
Oh, and she's like sweating and blushing. This is going to be juicy. And Aries is like, he is such a child because he goes, Persephone, this is my disaster. I need dad.
I'm like, what are you? Two happy 14th birthday Aries. And he goes, dad, this is Persephone. And we see a panel of the two of them looking at each other.
And at first glance, Aries looked mad. But really, if you keep looking at it, it's more like a shamed almost. And she's looking away, but not like in fear or anything like that. Like, she her look is mostly one of exhaustion.
Yeah. And Persephone, like also seems to already be aware that Aries is a soft, deep down. Yeah. Yeah.
And Aries just goes, it seems like you've already met. And he looks like a cardboard stick figure. That's just one thumb. Yes.
A troll made out of a thumb. You can see that he's like, Oh my God, they fucked. They fucked my friend and my dad have fucked God. Damn it.
Can you not? For what can I have any friends that neither of my parents will fuck? What if I wanted to be the only one in this house who fucked her? What are we doing here?
And Aries is just as puffed out for Jesus. Thank God. It looks great. Amen.
He's got big like G.I. Joe energy. Very big G. I Joe energy here.
Yeah. And he just goes, you've been crying. Is it because of what I did? And I was like, Aries, that's so good.
Aries is good. So dumb, but so good. And we just see a tiny little Aries head pop up in the side. It's like, what?
And Persephone is just like, no, it's kind of looking down. And Aries is like, Aries is like, I want to talk to Persephone. And Aries is like, no, it's not being weird. I just love everything about how awkward this is.
I love that everyone loves Persephone. I just love everything about it. I know everything about this is perfect. Everyone's like, no, I love Persephone.
I'm going to take care of her and I don't have anyone else to do it. And she's just like juggling eggs with one hand while reading the recipe and goes, it's fine. Like being amazing and competent and like not intimidated by men. God is energy.
Big, God is energy. And Aries like body checks Aries and is like real, I was like, Artemis, take no on how to like let the men and your family interact with Persephone. Be like, look, I know that you're a problem man. And so you can only be alone with her if she explicitly requests it.
And I'm still going to physically threaten you on my way out. And I will make it clear that I am out of this room for a second. And I will be back. And I'm listening at the door.
Be on your best behavior or I will fuck you up. Artemis, take note. Take fucking notes. And so Persephone is like still cooking, facing the counter, not facing Aries and just goes, well, what is it?
Yeah, and he's like up behind her and he starts to go, well, I guess. And he's like awkwardly holding his head. He doesn't know what to do. And he goes, I guess I'm sorry for messing with you.
Yeah. It takes a big person to say when they're wrong and apologize. Yeah. And that's the end of this episode.
Yeah, that was I was shocked. I was like, that was so sudden. I did not like it's the least cliffhangery ending we've ever gotten. Yeah.
Okay. Yeah. And then we're on to episode 100. Yeah, somehow.
God. So he's like, I guess I'm sorry for messing with you. And then he goes into this thing, which I feel like he like has been working on with his therapist. Yeah.
Like he's like, this is my thing that I'm like learning about right now. But it was really easy to do and super entertaining. But just because something is entertaining doesn't mean I should do it. And I'm like, good job, baby.
Your therapist would be so proud of you. And also like ring all the bells, alert, alert, Aries is the definition of a brat. Girl, you're right. You're fucking right.
Like it was so fun to justify you making a little mess. We're looking sexy at the time. Oh boy. It's all he wants.
Yeah. And also what a power move for Persephone for during this whole thing to just be silent. I know. And I can keep talking.
I know. That is queen energy. She's amazing. And eventually he goes, could you please say something?
I'm trying my best. You know, I'm not good at this kind of stuff. And he looks genuine about it. Like he looks like he's starting to panic a little.
Yeah. And she's just cooking and like not giving a fuck. And eventually she goes, am I really rotting from the inside, which is something he said to her in line at the underworld. And he shows no, I shouldn't have said that.
And he's like, pouting a little bit because he's like, no, I was wrong. I'm sorry. Yeah. And then he starts swinging from the cabinets, like an adolescent boy.
Oh my God. Had so much chest, auster on an adrenaline. He doesn't know what to do with it. Exactly.
Throughout the whole rest of this episode, Ari's is just literally all over the place. Like, he's up. He's down. He's like rolling all around town, just reading the world like a jungle gym.
Yeah. And so he's now swinging from the cabinets. And it's like, you're still angry, though. What can I do?
Yeah. And he's like, I'm sorry. Like, I'm sorry. I was wrong.
I did a bad thing. Yeah. And he goes, how come you cried? And he's in a totally different position now, just like Aaron said.
Yeah. And also the phrasing, how come you cried is so awkward and so childish. Yeah. Like, it's not like what's upsetting you or what's on your mind?
Or he's like, why did you cry? It's like, how come you cry? Yeah. Like, mom is crying.
How come you cried? Yeah. Yeah. And then he goes, do you need me to kill someone for you?
Totally matter of fact. Yes. Yes. Yes.
Yes. Yes. Yes. All the way.
Yes. All the way. This is, this is the energy we need. This is what this is the reaction we need.
Like, he's just totally deadpan. This is a genuine offer. Like, do you want me to kill someone for you? Did someone hurt you?
I'm the God of War. It's totally fine. I would love to. Like, we can trade.
You can do my garden. I'll go murder that person. Yeah. Like, that would be great.
Yeah. Like, Persephone. Yes. You do.
You do. Yeah. I know. But she just like, scriches the top of his head.
I know. And he like, sinks down. And he's such a bratty sub. I can't.
I know. Zoe. I know. He's like a little attack dog, but also, he's like mom.
He's put me in my place. Yeah. He is puffy. Yeah.
Yeah. But with a lot more sexual energy. Yeah. And big, big.
And she just eventually is like, I'm sorry, I let my mother beat you with a pitchfork. And then she quotes back at him and goes, but just because something is entertaining doesn't mean I should do it. Yeah. And then she goes in like, a little side ice mark, like knowing.
Yeah. And while she's saying that she has blue flowers in her hair now. Zoe, what? Like, why do you think the blue flowers pop up now?
Okay, I conjured a theory about this, but I don't think it's a good one. So I would love to hear what you think. But like, she has blue flowers in her hair this whole time. And it kind of seems like they're like more exploding off of her hair in like more flirty moments.
Like, there's definitely flirtation going on in this scene, even if she's like not interested in areas and she makes that clear. Yeah. But like, there are little flirty moments. Also, you can flirt with people like that.
Exactly. Like, it's harmless. It's just like, just interacting. Exactly.
Yeah. But my one theory was just that maybe because she's like a faded pair with Hades, all of her flirting flowers are blue and like any sexual tension or anything yields blue flowers. But I don't know. Yeah, I think that was one of the options that I thought about, but you put it much better than I was going to.
I'm a wordsmith genius. Or like, maybe she's just trying to make her allegiance to Hades clear, but that occurred to me too. It doesn't even seem like that's what's happening. Yeah, I just thought this wasn't necessarily the moment when she would want to do that.
Yeah. You know, or I mean, the other thing that occurred to me, which also doesn't seem like it's what's happening is she's like, just because something is entertaining doesn't mean I get to do it. And she's thinking about like, Hades is entertaining to do Hades. But like, just because Hades entertains me doesn't mean I get to do him.
Bummer girl. Or, you know, she's like thinking about something that I want, but can't have. I love that interpretation. I'm not sure it's right.
But I like that just say in words, just because something's entertaining doesn't mean I should do it. Thanks or think of Hades. That's fucking funny. Yeah.
So why ever the fuck this happens? She gets blue flowers. And then Ari says, I had it coming to which I say he had it coming. He had it coming.
He only had himself to blame. And he's still like kneeling on the ground next to her, like looking up at her adoringly. And then she like walks away with her pot to like take it somewhere. And he's like, can we pick up where we left off?
