By the way, while I’m talking about one kf my fav greek ships (Orestes and Pylades) I hope the greeks believed in polygamy or smth because Orestes has to marry Hermoine. Is she his cousin? Yes (but isn’t Pylades like also a cousin??? wtv). Is that kinda gross? Yes. Is he gay? Hell yes. Are we gonna let her stay married to murderous rapist dickwad Pyrrus or however you spell his fucking name? NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO. Okay then. That’s what i thought.
