i think people want to get cato pregnant simply because the most erotic thing an ancient roman man can do is suffer and die horribly & cut open. and filibuster of course

#etc. etc. catoposting continues...

[catominor]

i do still need to do a cato killing himself drawing. no contest most erotic roman death to Me.

#getting him pregnant this getting him pregnant that... what about his guts. his woundussy....

[catominor]

cato actually bowed out of the consul elections because he was a pregnant single first time mum. his baby daddy abandoned him

#this is true #he was left at the altar.... #sad! well theres other candidates

[catominor]

your honour he's literally a 40 years old minor

#i love him so muchhhh my unpleasant babygirl<33333 #my beautiful 40 years old minor.... literally guy ever

sometimes i will stumble upon greek mythology bloggers and i will be mesmerized by how some people will really take some of the most compelling narratives ever and they will turn them into mediocre vanilla readings out of an impulse i will genuinely never comprehend. and sometimes the result is somehow more offensive than whatever the ancient texts are doing with the story. then i turn my eyes back on my own dash and there's several people who want to impregnate cato the younger

#the darkness of greek myth 'fandom'/song of achilles/dark academia/that kind of stuff tumblr vs the light of making insane posts #about cato the younger tumblr....

i love all those roman guys but the sullan polycule will always have such a special place in my heart tbh

#need to finish my sulla/metellus pius fic after i finish this essay thats due today....

[catominor]

imagine getting owned so hard right to your face. if i were caesar i would have killed myself on the spot

#put me in a prison cell with Cato and he’s exiting pregnant huh who said that #must’ve been the wind #<prev it was me sorry

[catominor]

Could we get more thoughts on the possessiveness of your version of Pompey please?

a lot of it has to do with wanting everything sulla had and more, and crassus is at that very fun intersection of something sulla had and more. so naturally. he wants crassus in every way sulla had him, and in every way sulla did not. and he'll never get crassus coming to him (like crassus went to sulla) but he can get something else that is more valuable on this stage of politics: a partner.

crassus' own attitude is complementary to pompey's, since he decided to be co consul's with pompey! more than once! in a way, crassus bet his life on pompey. wow.

#love this severely.. thinking about them...

POMPEY & SULLA

Pompey, however, was not cowed, but bade Sulla reflect that more worshipped the rising than the setting sun, intimating that his own power was on the increase, while that of Sulla was on the wane and fading away

Plutarch, Pompey

political alliances are like bets, you know. sometimes you come out winning, sometimes the guy you were grooming to be your heir has ambitions beyond you and you can’t fully get rid of him. sometimes an alliance is like sharing a pomegranate, like a bad deal. hand in hand, & you’re stuck with them till the end of the line.

#YEAHHHH !!! #sucking on his sword saturday tuesday...... #literally though i do love the pompey and sulla dynamic . ourghhhh pompeyyy.......

[catominor]

person: thank you, that was very thoughtful of you.

me, humble, always deflecting compliments: actually, I wasn’t thinking of you at all. the benefit you derived was entirely incidental. I rarely think about you at all.

two roman senators go off into a side room in the senate .. 20 mins later one comes out, toga folds ruined, thousand yard stare, face red& hair mussed etc. then the other one emerges, toga folds immaculate, his face clearly trying to conceal his insufferably smug expression .

#ficposting #<this is about them. tbh.
