"do you think that prometheus had tboy swag"
"oh hmmmmmmmmmm yes and i think any depictions of him that don't acknowledge this are wrong. but it's not because of the eternal punishment part. like,, the stuff that he did *in order to* get punished? that's got tboy written all over it, it's cocky and mischievous. but i don't really know of... wait,"
