jed and octavius giving each other cute nicknames like if you agree

everyone uses “jed” and “octy” so im gonna dig right down into all of my experience with latin

i like to imagine that the first time jedediah and octavius actually properly met, octavius misheard his name as “iudicata” (the feminine form of iudicatus, in latin the i does double work as ‘i’ and ‘j’) and ended up calling jed “iudicatrix” for a while due to his long hair and judgemental attitude

octavius probably still calls jed ‘judy’ when he’s pissed off at him. the first time this nickname comes up in an argument, they end up having a very long question and answer discussion where octavius has to explain latin. a lot

the first time they ever see Judge Judy is like a week later and oct just “look its you!” and they both start laughing so hard they cry

at one point when their relationship gets closer and octavius realizes hes crushing hard, octavius accidentally starts calling jed “iucundus” and when jed finally figures out what it means when they’re eating a cupcake larry brought them, he goes beet red and slips right off the icing

thats all i got at the moment
