You’re…not saying anything, I can see it in your face.”</em><br><em>“My face is blank I’m not saying anything with my face.”</em></p> <p>Massive even-bigger-than-usual spoiler warnings this week because the latest two episodes of <em>Lore Olympus</em> gave us some forward momentum in the plot and we’re going to talk about ALL OF IT.</p> <p>Are Persephone and Demeter finally going to talk all this out? Are Artemis and Apollo going to have the screaming fight we’ve been waiting for? Are Hades and his queen going to have some post-badass-vengeful-goddess sexy good times OH WAIT THAT ALREADY HAPPENED EEEEEE.</p> <p>After that we’ve got to do a deep dive into episodes 7 and 8 of <em>Umbrella Academy</em> season 3 because everything goes splodey, Allison is being an unrepentant bitch, that wedding was freaking gorgeous, and just about everyone manages to say the most perfect things ever. (Except Sir Reginald Hargreeves, who says the most perfectly <em>wrong</em> things because <em>of course he does.</em>)</p> <p>This week’s outro is a clip from <a href="https://freemusicarchive.org/music/shalbora/paradise-gems/fortune/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Fortune</a> by Shalbora.</p> <p>Pretty much everything we know about Greek Mythology comes from D’Aulaire’s <a href="https://www.penguinrandomhouse.com/books/36027/daulaires-book-of-greek-myths-by-ingri-daulaire-and-edgar-parin-daulaire/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Book of Greek Myths</a> (in print for over 50 years), Edith Hamilton’s <a href="https://www.hachettebookgroup.com/titles/edith-hamilton/mythology/9780316032162/?lens=little-brown" tar
