of course roman goes to logan—all he wants is for logan to love him, to acknowledge him, to be proud of him. so here’s logan showing up at the karaoke bar, saying all the right words, repeating what roman’s been saying about matsson, and apologizing for what happened in italy in so many words (“i have some regrets”). he gets all embarrassed and awkward when kendall voices the fact that logan hit roman as a kid—roman doesn’t see that as a mark against logan, he sees it as a fault in his own character. he thinks he deserved to be hit (“i was an annoying kid”). and here’s logan finally saying “i need you”...like it’s the least unsurprising thing in the world to me that roman shows up at that house. 

but is it enough to win him over? logan asks for him to go see matsson with him...but he does so by asking roman to skip out on connor’s wedding. and for all roman’s faults, he loves his family. he’s the one who wants to be there for his siblings. he wanted to go to connor’s rehearsal dinner, he suffered through karaoke for connor, and i can’t imagine him skipping out on connor’s wedding. 

#i AM curious to see what it goes #we know from the promo that roman goes to connor's wedding...or at least some of it #whether or not he dips out early or misses the ceremony or whatever is yet to be seen #succession hbo #succession #roman roy #spoilers

Made another self indulgent AU, Kai's an ancient Elder God and Roman is the occultist that he chooses to inhabit for his return to the mortal plane <3

#ommetaphobia #tripophobia #oc art #original character #eldritch/cultist au #Kaius #Roman #Nebbles Art #i have put SO much thought into the lore of this au too #like Kai is specifically a god worshipped for strife and tragedy #and Roman's family has been in a major influential role in the cult based around Kai for generations #tho I personally think the best bit of this au is Roman's insistant flirtation and positivity #he became the apostle/prophet of an old god and had to make sure that his ceremonial outfit was as sexy as possible to impress said god #plus he wanted to ensure they had the same color schemes so they could match #he's going for the Couple Goals:tm:

[succs]

imagine they’re seeing Sands (2023, dir. Willa Ferreyra-Roy) what then

#i doubt they will ever show the actual thing consider most pivotal ceremonial events in the show are never shown #tomshiv vows. caroline’s vows. #roman’s screenplay too #kendall’s time in Iceland etc etc #but man I want to imagine #or maybe it’s them being some of the only people at a campaign speech Conner’s having lollll #succ.txt

February comes from the Latin word "Februarius," meaning purification.

Thus, it was at this time of the year that the ancient Romans did their purification ceremony.

During this celebration, farmers would also burn their fields and drive away evil spirits from their families.

The celebration was expected to bring good health and fertility to their families, farms, and cities.

Being the last period of winter, the celebration was also used to mark the end of the year.

Thus, when February was introduced by Numa Pompilius, who reigned between 715-673 BC, it was made the last month of the year.

Pompilius also introduced the month of January.

The two added months brought the total months from 10 to 12.

February remained the last month of the year in the ancient Roman calendar until 450 BC, when it became the second month.

In 46 BC, the Julian calendar introduced a leap day every four years to correct the error in the Roman calendar.

An extra day was added to February every four years. Any year in which this addition is made is called the leap year.

2024 is also a leap year.

This story of the origin of February and other months and days of the week reminds us that humans are in charge of this earth.

Berskerker Tea

I got to try the infamous “Berserker Tea” lauded by the Norse and Vikings. I had some the other day, but I’m having some as I write this, too, and I feel like sharing what the experience is like:

First off, my partner is from a very traditional Norwegian family. His gift to me upon arriving to move in with me was a drinking horn trimmed in hammered gold, carved from an ox horn, and etched with the symbol of a wolf. With him, he also brought... recipes.

A little cultural factoid: Before one can drink from a drinking horn, you have to “blood the horn”, aka cut yourself - usually nothing worse than a papercut - and swipe the blood into the grooves of the animal or deity carved onto the horn itself. It’s done in order to protect the warrior drinking from it from bad luck and evil spirits, particularly before and during battle. To my understanding, the blood “feeds” the figure carved on the horn in order to call upon its protection.

“Berserker Tea” is essentially the closest modern equivalent to the draught that Norse berserker warriors would consume before going into battle. Some of the ingredients are a secret, but it’s mostly comprised of tea (I prefer chamomile), mead (a wine-like alcoholic beverage made from fermenting honey and is also very high in healthy probiotics), and psilocybin mushrooms steeped for hours or days at a time and consumed cold. The longer the mix is allowed to sit, the more potent the drink becomes. It’s not unusual to mix cannabis in, either, in order to stimulate the appetite and make it easier to sleep. Shrooms can suppress the appetite and stimulate different areas of the brain so it’s difficult to sleep, and weed naturally counters those symptoms so you can snack and sleep whenever you genuinely want to.

It smells amazing when it’s still hot and steeping. Like an ancient Pagan holiday.

In spite of the alcohol, it doesn’t make you sleepy or give the sensation of feeling tipsy or drunk. I only have about a gram of mushrooms in mine, which is about the clinical equivalent of a microdose, but holy shit.

First off, at the dosage I prefer, you don’t actually hallucinate. Colors are more striking and beautiful to look at, art is more captivating to see, and stimming feels amazing, but you aren’t going to see little green men or dragons circling the sky. Jokes you’ve heard before become hilarious again like it’s the first time you’ve heard them. Most forms of chronic pain disappear. Music is more than music. Your mood becomes buoyant and pleasant. Feelings of anxiety and depression go away. Chronic fatigue and sleepiness just... evaporate. PTSD and traumatic memories and flashbacks aren’t traumatic anymore - they’re there, and you may actually remember more detail or uncover memories you’ve blocked out, but they can’t overwhelm you anymore. You can choose to observe your memories and make a real, firm statement like, “That sucked and it wasn’t okay, but I’m not going to be afraid of it anymore,” and it works. 

Unlike caffeine, you genuinely feel awake and alert (it’s a lot more like having the right balance of B12 in your system rather than a stimulant like caffeine), and the effects last for 8 hours or more. There is no crash-landing or hangover, and when you sober up, the realizations and observations you made with things like trauma and triggers for depression actually stick.

I wanted to cry the first time I felt the tea kick in for me. It feels like the way antidepressants should feel. I wasn’t hiding from any psychological pain, and the tea wouldn’t let me. It almost feels like it forces you to confront what’s been bothering you, in fact. It doesn’t let you become numb to emotional and psychological pain the way something like opioid use can. It turns your brain into an open book for your own perusal, where the facts and truths are plain in front of you, but as harmless as an ink blot on paper. It lets you process in a way where the most uncomfortable and unexplored passages in your mind are well-lit and safe to delve into.

I didn’t end up sacking Rome or bush-whacking supply trains in the Teutoburg Forest while contemplating rallying behind Versingetorix over in Gaul, but it’s still a pretty awesome experience.

Right now, with another round in my system, all I feel is pleasant and comfortable while also contemplative about my life in general. I’m able to be a little more critical of myself without being self-deprecating, while also being able to be vastly more forgiving of myself, too. There are no strange hallucinations dancing in front of my eyes, and the only compulsion I have that’s out-of-character for me is that I feel like smiling a lot more than usual. I think I may put some music on my headphones and take a walk in the woods. Who knows? It’s a great day.

#psilocybin #berserker tea #vikings #norwegians are wild #microdosing #hallucinogens #tw: alcohol #tw: drugs #tw: blood #tw: cutting #i mean it's entirely ceremonial in purpose and not intended to be self destructive #unless you're a roman on the wrong side of the danube

Valentine's Day: A Dark History

A brief history of the most romantic holiday.

Valentines Day, the auspicious day of love and joy. For many it means flowers, gifts, and candy. For some it means a night by themselves eating chocolate and admiring the flowers after listening to Miley Cyrus’ new hit single on repeat. Okay, just one more time. But is Valentine’s Day even a real holiday? Is Cupid real? Some scoff at its genuine as a traditional holiday and some feel that it…
