Prometheus

Posted on June 20, 2021 by tabulacandida

Zeus (from offscreen): Prometheus, you stole fire from the gods. Now face the wrath of Zeus!
Prometheus: Okay, I get how that's bad, and I see why you're angry, but, honestly, compared with the stuff you bunch of dicks get up to, I think you can let this one slide.
Zeus: Send the liver-ripping eagle after him!
Prometheus: Dude! Like, the fact that you even have one of those kind of proves my point here?

Prometheus, you’re fired.

Medea

Posted on April 21, 2021 by tabulacandida

Two women and two men sit at a table
Woman: “Now, I think my client has been very reasonable, considering that she isn't poisoning your cheap little tart, murdering the kids, and flying out of here in a chariot pulled by fuckin' dragons, so I think you can be reasonable and let her have the beach house, Dave.”
Caption: Medea went on a successful second career as a divorce attorney

I am continually disappointed by my inability to escape unpleasant social situations in a chariot pulled by f*ckin’ dragons.
