ONLY 2 WEEKS LATE TO THIS
lulz, he literally just loves Edgar Allan Poe, so he didn't think much of it at the time, but YES we should definitely chase that connection! He wouldn't be too judgy of her darker~ mindset (I mean, we've seen that he's pretty okay with Fergus, so). I also TOTALLY dropped the ball on Judas -- I think I got intimidated for fear of it not working out/jiving right if I threw myself into commenting with him 8( but I will surpass that and just toss Aidan at him regardless.
yyyy to moar Thalia/Mel, since they're each other's complete opposite. I apologise if Izzy gets obnoxious sometimes in just Not Understanding Mel.
Behemoth/Ares: I've been thinking this too, actually, ever since Jill suggested that Behemoth join their wrestling group -- I can't believe I never thought of it myself. But Marcel loves some fightin', so I'll have him join the club, they could meet that way? :D
And oooh yes please! Jocelyn has weird issues about Mel's mother, too, but it probably pales in comparison to how Mel herself feels --- so there's a lot of depth and nuance there that we could explore :> I'll have her start reaching out more!
