gods this ask was from forever ago and what better time to answer it than at 1 in the morning
his favourite movie as a kid was mulan because âbecomingâ a boy and going off to war was his dream as a young roman
he chose the name octavian based off augustus bc, hey, that guy wasnât the epitome of hypermasc buff roman soldier yet still was great (as in power and notability, not like a good person) so he could be too
his shitty fashion sense is based off clothes that hide his shape and his lack of knowledge about how to dress himself because he was never taught how
heâs more competitive towards cis men because he feels the need to prove himself better so people respect him
in fact thatâs where some, if not a lot, of his drive and need for power came from, the desire to prove himself worthy
he has spent a considerable amount of time in prayer to bacchus for help and guidance
heâs 110% jealous of jason because heâs everything octavian wishes he was
more muscular, masculine, respected, he didnât need to continuously prove himself the way octavian did
and thatâs about all i have for it being 1am thanks for coming to my ted talk
it went off trans tav a bit oops but i do hc his trans experience intersecting with other factors of his life
mmmm can we talk about how much octavian being âbadâ shits on survivors like?? he was raised to be ambitious and strong in the same âvincere, aut moriâ camp that encourages children to lead and fight like fucking adults of course heâs not gonna be content with not having power. The only reason Reyna and such arenât like that is because they werenât raised with that toxic mentality. But for some reason, itâs his fault that he has that perspective. Not only that, but Gaea influencing is also apparently his fault? For fucks sake itâs canon that he thought her speaking to him was Apollo and that he was helping. The way he was manipulated to think was not him, and the books being like âWow Octavianâs such a piece of shit! Helping Gaea and desperately wanting power! Look at him killing himself! Such a good thing that he was lead to doing that! He killed Gaea who? Sorry all I know is a lil bitch!â is,, bad
and im adding this because i didnât think i got my point in here clearly enough with my tendency to go off on tangents: Acting like the way Octavian acts is because itâs just his personality and not because of trauma shits on âbad survivorsâ who act out and arenât soft and gentle
I cleaned Willâs familyâs kitchen because they have fucking mice and a fly problem and the second his mom got home the counter suddenly has a dirty pan, open chips, an open cheese jar, a cheesy lid, a dirty spatula, a big ass plastic bag with arsenic blocks in it, a torn chocolate cake mix packet, and a sauce covered tupperware lid strewn about đ
And somehow??? Somehow there is an entire plate just sitting on the floor
How đ does đ she đ live đ like đ this
The mice in this house are going to form an alliance and rise up against us and i am powerless but to watch it happen. I may strike a deal with them when the time comes, become prince of the mice, king of the rodents, and i will rest upon a royal throne made of the fallen food that this family refuses to clean up off of the ground
I am attempting to establish spiritual communication with their people
He
THE ORACLE IS HARD AT WORK
NO!!!!!!!!!!!
You sick fucks wanted me to Ask Later so here you go
The Wise Ones shat all over the last paper so i had to make a new one, and weâve caught and released about 5 mice since yesterday, so I donât know how fast theyâll be to answer, but we will see if they grant me their Prophecies
Thus Begins, The Final Consultation
HHNNGG THEY TOOK A PIECE AND CARRIED IT BACK WITH THEM
