Apart From Cleopatra, Who Would Probably Be Double Majoring In Linguistics And History, These Are Largely

We’re all pieces on a game board, Dr. March, and some of us are more powerful than others. You. Me. Her. We’re the ones the gods want. We’re the ones they’re fighting over.” “And I suppose you consider yourself the king on this board?” “You must not have played chess in a while. The king is the weakest piece in the game.” He gave Justin a level look. “The queen’s the strongest.”

Ridiculous Conspiracy Theory

Caligula was actually trying to introduce a video game console two thousand years early, but historians didn’t understand and thought he wanted to make his horse a consul.

Famine’s Monologue

I’ve noticed that while gays, lesbians, and bisexuals are fairly common in plays nowadays, asexuals are nowhere to be found. Thus, I created Famine, devil may care hipster who nonetheless delivers a badass monologue (slightly edited for clarity) that hopefully reassures asexual people that they are valid. 

“ Back when I was younger, it always confused the shit out of me as to why the thought of getting sexual with someone made me physically ill. I attempted to fix myself by going to various doctors, and drinking mysterious concoctions of medicines that supposedly increased sexual desire. Then one night, it occurred to me. Why the fuck was I wasting my time attempting to change a portion of myself just to please Society? So, I said screw it and let any person I was getting serious with relationship wise that sex wasn’t in the equation for me. It didn’t always work, mind you, but I finally was able to stop hating myself. Some people are going to be bigots regardless of how strenuously you attempt to educate them and there isn’t much you can do about it. But someone who truly loves you, will accept, and embrace the fact that you’re nonbinary the same way they’ll accept I happen to be a biromantic asexual.” 

Vampire Academy Characters In Quarantine

-Lissa: Reads all the latest research papers and makes a lovely speech recommending all Moroi practice social distancing. Is struggling to maintain a solid work/life balance. 

-Christian: Makes terrible jokes to cheer Lissa up, and ensures she doesn’t forget to eat food, drink blood, and get some sleep.

-Rose: Is going crazy from being in quarantine and feels pissed she can’t kill this motherfucking virus. 

-Dimitri: Spars with Rose to help with her frustration and is learning to knit. His first knitting project is a scarf for his mother. 

-Mia: Is paranoid that she’s going to get the virus even though Moroi are immune, and prays REALLY hard that a vaccine is coming ASAP even though she’s not normally religious. 

-Abe: Is secretly funneling some of his money to help research a cure and/or a vaccine for the virus. 

This is very true. 

Shepard discovering that Archangel is Garrus:

I’ve been here before, and it was amazing. There’s also the remains of an Ancient Roman bath house and the foundation of the barracks that would have housed the soldiers.

Against Whitewashing

I am begging whoever is casting the Mass Effect movie to not whitewash Ashley Williams who is Latina, when there are plenty of badass Latina actresses who could portray her. We already had to put up with Bioware whitewashing her in Mass Effect 3.
