I say "Adam-and-ee" but I also have only been making it up as I go and really just wanna know how to pronounce what I'm hyper fixated on.

Aaaaaand if you're still answering silly facts and don't mindddd, what're the favorite ice cream flavors of the Adamandi characters?

Thank you!! Have a really good day :))))

Thanks for asking (glad you liked the show!)

Adamandi is pronounced more-or-less with the Classical Latin (as opposed to Ecclesiatical Latin) pronunciation. This would make it ah-duh-MAN-dee (or, for a more detailed pronunciation guide -- at least in an American accent: "ah" (like the "o" in "opera") - "duh" (like the "du" in "duck") - MAHN (like the "mon" in "monster") - dee (like the "dy" in "scaredy").)

Quincy also pronounces it correctly in the end of I Hate And I Love ("Ego Adamandi, falling in love, apart.") if you want to hear it said out loud!

Remus and Virgil who don't know each other, but Virgil is friends with Roman. Don't ask how (Virgil did tech for a theater show Roman was in) (it was actually that simple but they tell everyone they're mortal enemies). It's one wine night with Virgil, Janus, and Roman (ooo Janus is here) and they're talking about the costumes and Virgil's like "pfft yeah you guys get nice costumes we just get black sweaters and jeans" and they're like (platonically) "no but you have ass. You do. You just don't look at it." Cue the conversation of "no I don't" "yes you do? Boy do you know acknowledge yourself?" "..no?" bam Virgil's insecure. Well! Turns out, Roman and Janus both love themselves and they come up with an idea. "Okay well. Hear me out. Roman picks you up one day, the three of us meet somewhere and do an activity." Virgil is suspicious because what the fuck. They give him every detail except for what they're actually doing. He wears shorts (and his hoodie duh he's anxious) and sneakers and small jewelry. Tadaaaaaa they're going pole dancing. Technically they're taking a class. Roman's twin brother ("you have a twin brother?" "Oh yeah he does" "Janus please no") teaches it and Virgil's already there and he's panicking as fuck but like they paid and he's more concerned about the money so fuck it we ball. And the instructor is CUTE. like DAMN. it goes.. fine. Virgil is anxious but he can admit y'know he feels a little sexy a little hot a little willing to look in the mirror when he gets home. And then he gets a text. "Hey my brother gave me your number you're really cute it's Remus :)"

OR

Remus and Virgil are already together. Virgil's been feeling a little unsexy recently (I am not going to deny or put down the absolute sexy feeling that can come from dancing I refuse to) so Roman and Janus drag him to a lesson WITHOUT TELLING REMUS. Remus comes home that night, Virgil's ravenous, feeling himself, wants to be feeling Remus, the whole nine yards. Great nights are had. Overall, life is good.

I apologize to any dyslexic folks I didn't feel like breaking it up into anything other than text blocks I was excited. Teehee.

This works in so many cases too!

If they were dating, safe to say they're not anymore and they just really really miss each other. Janus and Remus have abandonment issues now and go from clingy to each other to worrying the other will leave. They so desperately want their spider back but what if it happens again?

If they were just best friends, sometimes that hurts more! They were there for each other in their formative years and they know everything about each other! Cue Janus' snarky comments about true friends and wondering if the Light Sides are better friends or not.

Hell, I saw a fic once (desperately need to find it again, it made me so :< for them) that was SFW age regression related, and Virgil took care of the other two whenever they couldn't. And then suddenly he left and now there's just two (mentally) kids on their own. (Also in the fic he kinda came back and there were cuddles and pancakes and LOOK I'm WEAK it was so well written and I scour the internet for it.)

But like any sort of betrayal and making up. Especially the making up. GOD the making up. The snarky fights that lead into shouted confessions and then tears (possibly a panic attack from Virgil) and brutal honesty that has Janus cringing and kindness that has Remus wanting to gag.

And when Patton, Logan, and Roman go to find them, to "rescue"/check on Virgil, they find the three in bed. It's so domestic. Everyone has their own blanket but the blankets match, and they're in pajamas. They're just sprawled on each other but one thing is clear and that it's Virgil's crushed in the middle. He's awake, just barely. He makes eye contact with the three through the door. With the arm wrapped around Janus, he gives them a thumbs up.

He's right where he wants to be.

Anyway

Virgil's at the arcade. Irl au. Modern. Life is good, goth family, emo shit going on. His family goes to the arcade. He's like.. seventeen idk I keep picturing that anxious, hormonal "I think that boy is cute so I'm just gonna do gay eyes" type. He's at the arcade, hanging out with his family, got his own music in because the arcade music is unbearable and unbearably loud. Virgils the iPod or CD player in his pocket type, corded headphones. Tell me I'm wrong.

He's been kinda eyeing this guy he's seen walk around. He's hot as hell, definitely understands the whole alt thing, and keeps hanging around a dude who looks similar (but is just enough not similar that Virgil doesn't confuse them) and another guy with glasses who seems to be so good at the games that it's pissing off the Lookalike. Not the Cute Guy though. He's laughing. And Virgils looking.

Mom notices, ooo teasing is that a cute boy oooo, Virgils all flustered. Looks back at the boy, and boy is looking at him!!! Woah!!! Virgil goes back to his arcade game all nervously.

Then! After his round ends, there's a weight on the game and cute boy came over and leaned on his arcade machine to talk to him. Arms crossed, smirk, the whole nine yards. Virgil is fucking swooning.

I know damn well it's some flirtatious conversation before he's asked "you any good at numbers?" and suddenly Virgil forgets numbers have ever existed ever and he shakes his head all stupid. And then!! Cute boy pulls out a sharpie, uncaps it with his teeth (because of course he does and also Virgil is going to be thinking about that for months), and writes his number on Virgil's arm. Doesn't even ask for his phone. Just his arm. Recaps it, pockets the marker, calls him something that makes Virgil blush to high hell, and leaves.

Cue all the family teasing and the shy text that night of "hey I was given this number at the arcade today?" and the response of "was wondering when you were gonna text me, you cute fuck."

Anyway Remus was also making gay eyes whenever Virgil wasn't and after Roman and Logan told Remus "if you don't I will" he finally went over to talk to him

Teehee!!!

Virgil and Remus in a relationship. Maybe it's some angsty teen era, maybe they can have that vibe of a coming of age movie. Maybe. But they get into a fight for whatever reason. Not the toxic kind, but the argument kind, the kind that teenagers who love each other but are figuring out their coping and communication skills have. Maybe Remus makes a comment and it's a bit mean. Maybe.

Virgil doesn't talk to him for a day. Maybe two. Maybe he sends a check in message. Maybe they see each other at school or between class and Virgil has to maturely say he's not ready to talk but he will be, he just needs a tiny bit of time.

Remus is respectful.

Remus isn't, however, patient.

It's late the next night. Maybe 11 or so. Virgil's window is closed, but the terrace next to it is still there. He's in PJs, listening to music, doing homework, and there's a knock on the window. He opens it (after a lot of debate with himself about whether or not he's ready to die first in a horror movie) because hello wtf and Remus comes tumbling into the room, full of apologies and promises he'll do better and suggestions of how he'll do better. Also apologies for not being able to handle two whole days of no talking because "we've never spent more than eight hours not talking!! And we were asleep!!" and Virgil wants to be mad and feel disrespected but Remus is never just flat out vulnerable like he is now and it makes him weepy. He forgives him immediately.

They end up cuddling that night in Virgil's bed, talking about what happened and how to avoid it happening again, Remus holding him like a stuffed animal that could escape any second, occasionally mumbling apologies again for being a dickhead. Virgil forgives him, because of course he does, he loves him. He's a dumbass but he's Virgil's dumbass.

(Virgil's parents are very confused where Remus came from the next day because he wasn't there when they went to bed but y'know what as long as nobody got hurt or did anything unsavory, they'll look the other way. ... Also they're looking the other way again because Virgil smiled for the first time in two days and that's the most valuable part.)

Maybe he'd follow Virgil down to breakfast and watch him get a bowl of cereal. Get the box from the top of the fridge, the bowl from the cabinet, and— oh. Shucks. All the spoons are in the dishwasher. He watches Virgil bend over, expecting to just admire some ass.. and he sees green peak out over his jeans.

Green. His color. Not Virgil's, but his. Underneath his jeans. Virgil never wears green. It's not his color. It's Remus'. Virgil put on green underwear just for him to possibly see.

Anyway it's a good thing there's a "no sex in the common areas" rule because woooooo buddy.

That cereal is left for a moment though.
