My roommate: “Who was your top artist this year?”

Me *mumbling*: “Gay steampunk space pirates”

Richie: oh shit, it’s a girl I dated while I was pretending to be straight. What if she starts flirting with me?

Bill: Tell her you’re taken

Stanley: Tell her you’re gay

Eddie, jealous for no reason: Tell her she’s the reason you’re gay >:)

Tired: Insecure autistic character with only one friend who no one else likes  and is not interested in nor capable of having a romantic relationship and whose problems are all caused by his autism

Wired: An autistic character with confidence falling out of his butt who is liked by a lot of people, is canonically a ladies (and guys) man, and many problems are caused by people reacting badly to his autism.  

Fun facts I learned scrolling through the Marvel wiki

-When eternals  are reborn they change appearance, which is why Ajak, Makkari, and Sprite were all men for most of the comics and then turned into women

-Druig is cousins with Ikaris who is cousins with Sersi who is cousins with Sprite. I don’t know how they have cousins if they’re created and trying to figure it out gave me a headache

-Notable aliases include: Ika Harris, Mark Curry, Ivan Druig, Thena Elliot, Sylvia Sersi, which are all the name equivalent of wearing a baseball cap and sunglasses as a disguise

-Thena= Greek goddess Athena, Makkari= Roman god Mercury, Ikaris= Icarus from Greek mythology, Phastos= Greek god Hephaestus, Sersi= the Greek sorceress Circe, Ajak= Greek hero Ajax, Gilgamesh= Mesopotamian hero Gilgamesh, Kingo= Babylonian god Kingu (not canonical like the others but I think it’s right)

-Most of the other eternals get referred to as gods sometimes and Druig gets referred to as Satan sometimes (he’s evil in the comics)

-Sprite was the inspiration for Puck and Peter Pan

-Sprite pretended to be a child actor on a show called “That’s So Sprite”

-Makkari lost her speech and hearing trying to reach a dead celestial 

-Gilgamesh was flatmates with Hercules

-Only Kingo seems to have an actual last name for some reason

-Sersi’s boyfriend Dane comes from a long line of evil knights and his sword is basically the anti-Excalibur which is much cooler than being a noble descendant of Arthur like I thought he was going to be

Okay but that specific one shot actually helped me with my religious trauma because I now only think of “sexy twink” Jesus and what he would want for me

RQG canon: years worth of carefully-crafted lore and foreshadowing, complex characters and relationships, high stakes with real consequences

RQG oneshots: okay, helen just successfully seduced jesus, so let’s cut back to where to where alex is making out with a furby-

What I expected to get from listening to TMA Q&A’s: fun facts about the show

What I got: a mild but genuine fear of Alexander J Newall
