I'm currently reading Eric Gamalinda's My Sad Republic Twentieth Anniversary Edition. I've read the original edition more than a decade ago, and understandably I've forgotten many parts of it. But now, as I read the new print, I've begun to remember some scenes. I'm also reminded why Gamalinda is my favourite writer and poet. I love his writing so much, his ability to weave words that would pluck at my heartstrings and taste the poignancy in his turns of phrases. It's always been an aspiration of mine to write something like that, and reading him is always a joy and a blessing.

Moreover, Caesar was not satisfied to be overlooked at first by Sulla, who was busy with a multitude of proscriptions, but he came before the people as candidate for the priesthood, although he was not yet much more than a stripling. To this candidacy Sulla secretly opposed himself, and took measures to make Caesar fail in it, and when he was deliberating about putting him to death and some said there was no reason for killing a mere boy like him

Plutarch, Caesar

sulla's fight with caesar is extremely funny, but also very Something considering how much of sulla you see reflected in caesar's later actions. breaking news: grown man picks fight with teenager, more at 11.

Naoki Urasawa's Monster is kind of crazy because it posed the important question of "what if the most evil person you could imagine was a Czechoslovakian twink?" and he was so right

#personal #naoki urasawa's monster #monster #naoki urasawa #johan liebert #when he was born it was still Czechoslovakia and not yet the czech republic so don't come for me #i know my european countries #johan has a sadness in his eyes you only see in eastern european gay prn

Rin’s obsession with Altan ruined her. And I don’t think Nezha or Kitay could save her from it. Jiang is the only person I think could and he left

#my post #the poppy war #I’m saying this while only part of the way into the Burning God #I liked her so much but every time she starts to improve #her memories of Altan pull her back down #it’s sad and I’m getting tired of it #the burning god #the dragon republic #fang runin

So, if Camila is from the Dominican Republic 🇩🇴 and Manny is Puertorican 🇵🇷, then they both spoke Spanish but probably had different accents and expressions

(you know, how the US English is different from Australia and British English)

So, sometimes, they would use expressions that the other one wouldn't understand or stuff. And Little Luz would be somewhere in the middle of the two, sometimes talking like Manny, sometimes talking like Camila.

And, as she gets older, she starts to forget Puertorican Spanish. She starts being more partial to Camila's accent. She starts to forget her dad's voice.

(I just think it's interesting how they're both latines and they obviously both speak Spanish but they're from different cultures and must've had differences, too)

THIS CONVERSATION IS NOT MEANT FOR YOUR EARS

brutus, the noble conspirator, kathryn tempest

conspiracy literature in the early renaissance, marta celati

conspiracy narratives in roman history, v.e. pagan

I did an illustration with a similar composition before, but this time it’s got color and also architecture in the background because I thought it’d be fun 🏛 and also because I’ve been reading up on italian renaissance conspiracies again and ooooooooooooooohhhh every time brutus (and cassius by extension) get mentioned as an ideal or representation, I start hollering in the stands like it’s football and my team just scored.

half of this was done traditionally, mostly to see which of my markers and pens from the old art school days were dead and needed to be thrown out, so I’ll only list the traditional supplies that I actually liked using: koh-i-noor heaving drawing paper, pentel brush pen (with rapidograph ink), a singular red copic marker, various grey tombow pens, acruit technical pen (the waterproof one), and a grey staedtler
