AU where the odyssey takes place entirely in ikea

Odysseus spends like an hour in the bed section being aggressively cuddled by some strange drunk woman who fell on top of him while he was testing out mattresses and has too strong a grip for him to pull free

Meanwhile Penelope is sitting behind the checkout with the bed they bought eating ice cream with Telemachus and trying to ignore the pack of dudebro frat boys trying to hit on her

Hanukkah in Canada

lauraantoniou:

Oh, Hanukkah
Our minor holiday
Eight nights and days …of hot wax on our hands!
We’ll be fressing on some sufganyot
Or latkes nice and hot
With sour cream
Or applesauce we gain a pound or three
Dreidels will spin
We’ll get new socks
On Hanukkah we’ll have no Christmas trees
Oh Hanukkah we have no Christmas trees!
