In honour of knife day, I would like to list all the reasons it should have been obvious to Caesar that he was going to be stabbed, according to the Roman historian Suetonius (who was not even born until a few decades after the event, so obviously he would know)
A bunch of horses that Caesar had previously let loose in hope of favour from the gods in battle started crying copiously (which is a horrifying image)
A wren with a laurel branch flew into a theatre and was viciously torn apart by a bunch of other birds
He had a dream he was holding hands with Jupiter in the clouds
His wife had a dream that their house collapsed and Caesar was lying in her arms, having been stabbed
He wasn't even sure if he should go into work that day but Brutus persuaded him to go in several hours late
Someone gave him a little pamphlet thing detailing the plot, but he didn't read it and just bundled it away in his left hand (oooh unlucky hand) with his other papers and things
He had loads of sacrifices done because he couldn't get a good omen, and mocked the Haruspex who interpreted the sacrifices for him (Spurinna)
(edited for clarity)

[ID: A Night Vale edit of a reaction image comic by @/gertritude of an anonymous person speaking casually in a drive-through to a horrified McDonalds employee. The anonymous person is labeled as Abby saying the word "redacted" in caps locks and brackets. The horrified employee is edited to be holding a box of Scrabble and is labelled as Carlos, Janice, Cecil (not taking it in), and Steve.
Finally is art of a person with headphones on looking absolutely horrified. End ID]
-thank you @princess-of-purple-prose for the image description

"but there's no point in learning Irish is a dead lang-" sHUT UP SHUT UP SHUT UP.
there IS a point. there IS a reason. Irish might be a dead language TO YOU but im gonna pull that motherfucker screaming and crying out of its "grave" by the ankles. if Irish is a dead language then i'm a necromancer (or necrophiliac depending on your outlook on life and opinions.)
there IS a point. im learning Irish because no one in my family, barr from like one of my cousins, and a few distant relatives even have their cúpla focail. (whether they were given the award or they gen only know a few words). my mum and dad barely know any irish. my dad wasnt even really ALLOWED to learn irish. (more it was geniunely discouraged by my granny bc 1970s/80s and early 90s northern ireland was not a fun place).
im learning irish because its my CULTURE. its MY language, ITS MINE, not to rip off my big man Ruairí Ó Báille (granted is leatsa í means its yours but who cares about details) back on topic, it connects me to MY history. everyone calls my granda the irish version of his name, we use anglisized irish words ALL THE TIME. even if you arent learning irish. its still alive in place names. (e.g Belfast, Béal Feirste, Derry, Doire)
irish isnt even dead. it still exists whether you want to acknowledge it or not, we wouldnt have so much protection thingymabobbers trying to preserve it if it was completely dead, yeah its on life support and a long way from getting off it but pROGRESS IS PROGRESS! theres more irish speakers now than a good few years ago
pLUS ITS ONLY GOT LIKE 11 IRREGULARS. ENGLISH HARDLY EVEN, IF EVEN HAS REGULAR VERBS. IT HAS SIMPLISH PRONOUNCIATION (if you actually sit down and learn the spelling/grammar rules. something i need to do more of bc i sound like a dying donkey speaking irish😋) aND ITS REALLY PRETTY OKAY? ITS GOT A COOL EMPHATIC FORM IN ENGLISH YOU JUST USE YOUR TONE TO PUT EMPHASIS ON STUFF.
plus plus. silver and gold fáinnes. what other language in the world has cool little badge pin thingies when you can speak a good enough level of it?
in conclusion; irish is based. Is maith liom bheith ag amharc dónal dána. Ceapaim go bhfuil asal thusa. focáil leat.(was previously 'téigh fuck tú féin, but thats not the best way to say it), Chuaigh mé ar scoil ar a naoi a chlog. Tá mo scoil iontach leadránach.
slán, sláinte, suck my dick you mouldy egg sandwich.

What if I told you I have never had an original idea ever
Speedpaint time !! Never uploaded a speedpaint. Ignore the canvas flipping, this is so so much less than I usually do.
Side note. Yes I changed Heart to be a jester, I'm very sorry, but his fucking lipstick was impossible to get right. Consider it a reference to my Jester!Heart drawing that one time.
I also added (or tried to) little straps on Soul's mask as a nod to a Soul design posted by the original artist of the cccc cover art. Reblogs appreciated

James: I love you
Regulus: now why the hell would you choose to do that?
James: that's not typically the response people give to that statement but alright
Regulus: you expected me to say something else? Well, serves you right for being so presumptuous
James: ...........
Regulus: ........
James: .........
Regulus, grumpily: I love you too

I probably should explain that Asklepios/Asclepius was the Greek god of Medicine, and people would travel to places known as an Asklepion (or Asklepieia) where they could be treated for various ailments. People would travel there, undergo ritual purification, present a votive offering, and then spend the night within the temple walls. If they dreamed, then they'd report it to a priest and it would be interpreted and a cure for them determined based on that. So these votive objects would often take the form of whatever part of the person it was that wasn't working its best, and they'd either be given as the offering to be cured, or as an offering of thanks afterwards.
Asklepios still exists within medicine to this day, as his staff with a snake wound around it is a common medical symbol, as well as two of his daughters Hygieia and Panacea forming words we know in medicine today.
The dick votives are just a) funny and b) fascinating because they're all...sort of self portraits.
