Virgil: Where’s Logan?
Roman: We just stepped out of the shower, he’ll be down in a minute.
Virgil: Ok, I— wait, did you just say we?
Roman: Huh?
Virgil: Did you just say “WE stepped out of the shower”?
Roman: …. I said HE.
Logan: (coming downstairs in a towel) Virgil, Remus said he’s ready for you two to shower.
Virgil: Uhhhh
Roman: Oh ho ho!
Remus: VIRGIL GET UP HERE!

The Popcorn Saga: in which Sami has, perhaps unwisely, taken Roman's apology to mean they're buddies now and attempts to share his popcorn; then fails to notice popcorn has materialized for all; lobs popcorn at Drew and manages to hit Solo; and experiences near-orgasmic popcorned pleasure at the Usos’ win.

Do you believe the caesar and nicomedes thing actually happened, or was it just a rumor, or perhaps a combination of the two?
What we know:
Caesar really did have a lot of affairs, and most of them seem to have been with politicians (like Cleopatra) or politicians' wives or sisters.
Suetonius says Cicero, Bibulus, Dolabella, Licinius Calvus, Gaius Memmius, and Caesar's own soldiers believed the affair to be real. He cites specific details from Cicero's letters and eyewitnesses from Bithynia.
Cassius Dio talks about the rumor but doesn't name specific sources. He adds that Caesar swore an oath denying the affair, but that this only made people more amused.
Caesar does seem to have maintained some sort of connection with Nicomedes' family, based on his later advocacy for Nicomedes' daughter.
Although it was common for Roman politicians to accuse each other of gay affairs as an insult, this rumor appears to have been unusually widespread and accepted by more than just Caesar's enemies.
However:
Even if someone sleeps around a lot, that doesn't mean they're likely to have slept with a specific person. We should be especially careful when talking about people who may have been gay, bi or pan, since there's a history of stereotyping these groups as promiscuous.
The Romans had a whole trope of "good Roman boy gets corrupted/seduced by decadent easterner" - a mixture of xenophobia and homophobia. They lobbed this trope at Caesar, Clodius, Antony, and many other politicians. It may have also been a form of gender role policing, as Caesar was a bit of a fashionista and got along well with women.
Suetonius tends to repeat rumors uncritically, and Dio is even less reliable.
There is no other reliable example of Caesar having an affair with a man; Catullus made a poem claiming so, but no one appears to have taken it seriously.
Plutarch implicitly contradicts Suetonius by saying Caesar only stayed with Nicomedes briefly, and doesn't mention an affair.
Jeremy Paterson points out that the Nicomedes story is very similar to other stories of Caesar sleeping with foreign queens; some of the details may have been conflated.
Other theories I've seen:
Colleen McCullough portrayed Nicomedes as more like a father figure to Caesar, which is plausible considering that Caesar lost his father at 15 and Nicomedes was a friend of said father.
Josiah Osgood argued that Caesar's long stay in Bithynia was related to building his patron-client network, which both fits the reason Caesar himself gave for returning and his advocacy for Nicomedes' daughter.
My best guess? The rumor almost certainly existed. But whether the affair actually happened, we don't know. On the one hand, gay/bi relationships were a lot more common than they're usually portrayed, and Suetonius names more than just Caesar's enemies as repeating the story. On the other hand, there was a strong incentive for people to make shit up to discredit him.
Also. I think there's this assumption of "straight until proven queer" for historical figures. Even among queer people, it seems like we try to find evidence to defend our views against straight and cisgender people's disbelief. I do this, too.
But I think we also should ask for evidence of straight cis interpretations. The word "heterosexual" only dates to 1892; isn't it a bit odd to project it onto another culture? If we do accept that "sexual orientation" can apply, why "straight," and not one of many other identities? Are we describing what this historical figure was, or are we simplifying him for our own comfort and discourse?
I don't mean this in a hostile way toward cishet folks. I mean it like, here's something you might've overlooked before. The world is big and messy and there's a lot of different ways to be. Let's have fun with it!

Just out of personal curiosity, I looked up the last 10 times that Germany managed to get into the Top 10 in Eurovision.
And then, I decided to make a poll out of it, simply because I can 😊
Check out the performances under the cut.

Character Bio: Sunday Evening Offdensen
AKA: Sunday Mourning (stage name), Suns, the Cursed Seer/the Siren (depending on which side of the prophecy you ask)
Birthday: November 1, 19XX (same age as Nathan & Skwisgaar)
Zodiac Sun: Scorpio Moon: Virgo Venus: Libra Ascendant: Libra
Meaning of the Name: The day of the sun, after the sun’s set! Her mother was delirious through large portions of labor and delivery. When the nurse asked for a name, Nathalie thought she’d asked the time and said, “It’s Sunday Evening,” with such force and confidence that the nurse wrote it down. Guthrie, absent at the birth, left it after the fact as a reminder to his wife to be strong.
Birthplace: New Orleans, Louisiana
Gender: Cis woman
Speaking Voice: Emma Stone
Singing Voice: Floor Jansen
Appearance
Height: 5’4” flat, anywhere from 5’7” to 5’9” in heels.
Eyes: Hazel green, skewing golden. Eye shape is round/protruding, with plenty of real estate for her usual heavy goth makeup looks. Post-DSR, gold.
Lips: Full, with pronounced cupid’s bow on the upper lip.
Hair: Straight with very slight wave (2A). Sunday usually wears her hair long and layered with side swept bangs. She dyes her hair frequently. 
At first appearance (shortly after S2E10 “Dethgov”) her hair is bleached blonde, but quickly dyed cherry red thereafter. After she starts dating Nathan Explosion (S2E14 “Dethsources”), she dyes it black, leaving her bangs red (picture “slut strands”). In Season 3, she’s spotted with a shoulder length lob, dyed back to her natural medium brown. In Season 4, she has extensions to her waist and her hair colored in a black-to-burgundy ombré. In her Smugly Dismissed days, her hair is box-dyed black.
Body type: Hourglass, with wide shoulders and hips and a small waist. She tends to carry weight in her thighs and butt. She has a large bust thanks to breast implants.
Piercings: Has a habit of getting a new tattoo and/or piercing everywhere she travels. Nose ring, left nostril. Multiple lobe piercings, helix, and anti-helix holes on both ears. Industrial, left ear. Orbital, right ear. Belly button pierced.
Tattoos:  “Owl” on right bicep that looks suspiciously like a falcon. Baphomet kitten on right shoulder. Moon cycles on right wrist. Wolf howling at moon on left wrist. Left arm sleeve of the High Priestess with detailed background. Lower sternum/underboob tattoo of a bat hanging upside down with wings spread. Down right hip and thigh, a zombie mermaid. On left hip, an alligator, raised on its hind legs, surrounded by music notes and sparkles. Mark of Hecate behind left knee.
Extra details: Dimples, the left stronger than the right; large Roman nose (frequently commented on by Skwisgaar). Prominent cheekbones. A strong, square jawline not unlike her brother’s.
Preferences / Background
Sexual Orientation: Bisexual/Pansexual (would likely self-identify as bi, given the time mtl is set in, but her attraction to individuals isn’t dependent on gender)
Romantic Orientation: Panromantic
Favorite Meal: Eggs Sardou OR fresh beignets and black coffee.
Favorite Drink: Alcoholic, a Boulevardier. Non-alcoholic, a dirty chai latte.
Favorite Snack: Hummus and anything she can dip in it.
Language Fluencies: English, French, Creole, Swedish (slightly rusty), Swiss German (very rusty)
Education: Master of Music (Juilliard), Master of Business Administration (Columbia), Bachelor of Fine Arts (Loyola). Privately educated as a child, she achieved her BFA as a young teen. After Loyola, Sunday spent a brief time in a Swiss boarding school before running away to form Smugly Dismissed. When she ditched the band, she spent some time “hiding in plain sight” by simultaneously attending Juilliard and Columbia.
Occupations: Metal vocalist, Smugly Dismissed; Freelance songwriter/lyricist (post-Smugly Dismissed to present); session artist, strings (post-Smugly Dismissed - Season 4); Fetish model (post-SD - Season 1); Television/Media personality (shortly before Season 1 - Season 4); President, Metal Alliance (Season 3-4); interim Dethklok manager (briefly, post Season 2- pre Season 3); Solo recording artist, Crystal Mountain Records (Season 3 to present).
Music Credits: Three albums with Smugly Dismissed as vocalist, lyricist, songwriting, and some bass guitar; songwriting credits on two Ava Sunbeam albums (listed only as SEO); at least two albums as a solo artist. One album playing violin in the Juilliard String Quartet.
On television: Worked primarily with MBC as a judge/presenter for their reality singing competition American Voice Showdown, and made occasional guest appearances after her initial tenure. Recurring guest role on MBC’s Paw and Order during Season 1. Host of Swinging Steel Awards during Season 2. Guest appearance on the William Murderface and Dick Knubbler Christmas Special during Season 3. Host/presenter for MTV’s Sunday Mourning’s Anti-Valentine’s Ball during Season 3.
Hobbies: Witchcraft! While Sunday’s familiar with protective charms and spell work, her main focus is on divination. She owns four tarot decks, each with their own style and purpose, and performs readings for friends and family. She believes in osteomancy (throwing bones) and often uses it to address lingering questions. She’s determined to learn every stringed instrument. She’s competent with the violin, viola, cello, bass, guitar, and piano. She’s currently learning the harp. Sunday’s quick to remind people that she was “the worst guitar player in Smugly Dismissed”, which the author notes is a lot like being the last pick in the NFL draft. Occasionally, Sunday visits exclusive BDSM clubs (she’s a VIP at Club Hedonism, but doesn’t partake in the same munches that Murderface does). Barring that, she’ll indulge in her fetishes with trusted dominants. As an experienced rope bunny, she’s participated in bondage shoots and demonstrations for her clubs. Her ‘guilty pleasure’ is reading trashy romance novels, the more erotic the better. She’s embarrassed by the books, despite participating in BDSM acts that would make the protagonists blush, and conceals them inside volumes of French philosophy in her home.
What About That Curse? As a child, Sunday often visited her maternal family’s occult shop. On a visit at age five, Sunday ran inside while playing and tripped against a display table. A strange antique vial fell cracked open in sync with Sunday’s head on the floor, splattering her with the fluid inside. Two days of seizures and visions later, the child got a terrible feeling when someone was about to die. It took until adulthood for her to realize that she attracted the damaged like flies to honey. Even later than that, she realizes her singing charms people.

yes its sad for history but i love it when historical sites get raided and repurposed by the local people like avebury they stole the stones, romans used to lob bits off the coleseum idk my dad's house was built with stones from the victorian prison... cultural conservation is of course important when asked for but i don't think we should mourn lost structures when we're living amongst the recycled ruins of our own history?
