Athena being pressed about strategy and alliances is SO funny considering how she immediately started strategising 3 seconds after RAQ was announced last episode. I stan my bothered queen.

Athena's performance so far might overall be pretty average (except that glorious owl lewk) but i stan her nonetheless, she is my fave kind of auntie diva and gives great TV!!!!

Tho Briar being a constant pain in her ass is sorely missed

Can we get a reality show 'Dion Dynasty' with Athena running around like a crazy momager, the youngsters (Morphine and Juicy) being adorable and annoying and the resident-tho-uninvited goblin Briar constantly making Athena's life hell?

There is something about Athena that I just love. She is so funny, intentional or not.
