i really want a rom com featuring catullus, propertius, and ovid

i am thinking about this way too much but

ovid’s always raving about his girlfriend corinna so catullus and propertius ask him for help with their relationships with clodia and cynthia. he proceeds to give them a bunch of terrible dating advice and shenanigans ensue. everyone finds out that corinna doesn’t actually exist and ovid was just making her up, clodia and cynthia end up together, and the three boys end up crying together over their love lifes

my boyfriend and i were talking about this sitcom idea i had like a year ago and i still love it so i’m gonna expand on it some more

• ovid’s love advice is really clearly terrible but catullus and propertius are idiots so they still follow it even when he’s obviously talking out his ass
• tibullus is their weird neighbor who occasionally comes over and inevitably ends up talking about his weird kinks
• ovid has gotten sexiled on multiple occasions when clodia and cynthia come over, and once when catullus and propertius had just gotten broken up with and got a little drunk
• half of the humor is ovid coming up with increasingly complex reasons why corinna never comes over until she eventually becomes a sort of mythological figure in the household
