[wind rustling] Alex: I don’t know what it is, or what’s inside. [Robin smirked teasingly, correctly implying that she’d been too afraid to venture inside alone] Alex: The last kid I brought here wouldn’t come with me, so… [Robin blew a raspberry, what a loser] Alex: Right?! C’mon, I wanna uncover some mysteries! [Alex took off, leaving Robin with no choice but to follow as she slammed through the gates with reckless abandon] Alex: Wow, this is-… [Robin yawned with exaggerated phoniness] Alex: Yeah, it’s way more boring than I imagined-.. lame. Alex: What do you think it used to be? [Robin shrugged; his guess was as good as hers] Alex: Let’s see what’s downstairs! There’s got to be something good in here. [Alex and Robin stared at the vault door helplessly; their attempts to open it had been brief, pathetic, and in vain] Alex: What do you reckon-.. treasure? A secret lab? Zombies?! [Robin lunged forward with an abrupt grunt, aka his best zombie impression, causing Alex to squeal shrilly] Alex: Geeez-.. that’s not even funny! [Robin giggled, shoving Alex playfully; it totally was] Alex: Okay, maybe it was a little funny-.. but you’re still a butthead! … Alex: I wish you didn’t have to go so soon… [Alex’s sudden vulnerability almost compelled Robin to say me too, though she hastily added to her sentence…] Alex: Y’know-.. ‘cause I bet we’d eventually get those doors open if we had more time. [Robin shrugged; maybe they would, maybe they wouldn’t-.. that wasn’t what she was getting at though and Robin gave her a quick but pointed look, suggesting he knew as much] Alex: You don’t think I’m annoying, do you? [Robin shook his head vehemently, wishing he could explain to Alex that whoever called her that was probably just projecting-.. not that she’d believe him, how could he know for sure?] Alex: I wanna know what you sound like-.. say something, anything. [Alex frowned with dismay as Robin chuckled and rolled his eyes, once again ignoring her demands-.. she didn’t understand why it wasn’t working on him, it always worked] Alex: Fine. I guess you can keep your secrets, for now.

Sorry if you've answered this before, but do you have any recommended sources for someone looking to start learning about Crassus/the first triumvirate?
forever ago someone ALSO asked this and that ask (so sorry to that anon) has been sitting in my drafts half finished because I realized I needed to finish reading something before I could answer it. then I got busy reading about the fall of the templar order of all things (and romance literature about the order that may or may not have had an impact on grail quest literature) and forgot to finish writing it up.
SO! at long last, after ten thousand years, my recs list for anyone just starting out:
I. Plutarch's biographies on the Tris Homines/Trikaranos (Crassus, Pompey, Caesar)
II. These books by Gareth C Sampson
- The Collapse of Rome: Marius, Sulla, and the First Civil War
- Rome, Blood and Power: Reform, Murder and Popular Politics in the Late Republic 70-27 BC

I have a lot to say about Candide from the new Clone High season because she has been on my mind for the past week or so and I love overanalyzing and picking apart my fictional beloveds. It’s mostly just gonna be a lotta inane rambling about things I noticed and dots I’ve connected but if you’re into that then you can go ahead and read whatever I decide to put under here. Also spoilers for season 2 ofc
I don’t think people talk about her characterization enough since she’s not as popular as the clones and Scudworth, but there’s a decent bit to unpack about her from the sparse times she’s onscreen throughout the season. She’s presented as being cold and calculating, having no room for genuine connections other than with her reptiles. The only times we see her being vulnerable are the two times she’s drunk or the time Scudworth’s rabbit ripped her pets to shreds. Some of why this is the case is speculation on my part but there are also some details that stick out to me from the show.
For example, let’s start with her mommy issues (this section does have a small mention of fatphobia so cw for that). In the episode where she unleashes the stress monster onto the school, while she’s thinking of other ways to stress the clones out, she says something along the lines of, “Maybe we can hire someone to pick apart the clones’ bodily insecurities. Maybe my mom is available.” Then in the episode where Joan gets silly legs she tells Joan not to gain any weight while she’s on her business retreat. So there’s clearly something there that’s been carried over from her mother onto her which she is now projecting onto her own foster daughter.
And on that topic, in the sleepover episode, when she takes the truth serum, she admits she wants to be a mom, even though she has a foster daughter and treats her like absolute dogshit (Mr. B please come pick up your daughter Joan deserves better than this). This could either be because Candide doesn’t see Joan as her actual daughter or because she only wants a daughter she can project herself onto. The second point is backed up by the fact that in the finale she shows Joan what she could look like when she becomes the ruler of the world, dressed in a business suit and wearing square glasses- a spitting image of Candide. She wants a position she was never offered so she’s going to attain that power by living vicariously through her daughter instead.
There’s also the aspect of her being closed off due to her knowing how cutthroat the workforce can be, especially since she’s a woman. It would make sense considering that she’s (from what I read on the wiki) based off of Elizabeth Stanton who was a revolutionary for women’s rights. There’s also the literal glass ceiling she places above Scudworth’s office in order to keep an eye on him, which is of course a reference to the metaphorical glass ceiling that keeps women from attaining higher positions of power, however in this scenario the roles are reversed since she’s the one on top. I imagine that everyone is either competition or a pawn in her eyes, and vulnerability leads to the potential of betrayal. The only reason she allows herself to love her reptiles is because they are physically unable to betray her.
That’s about all I have to say right now, but I just find her to be wildly fascinating and honestly I was surprised to see she isn’t more popular in the fandom. Like I imagine people saw her and went “yeah that’s simp bait” and turned the other way, and to be fair that’s what I thought too until I accidentally fell in love with her, whoopsie daisy. But there is SO much more to her character than just being a massive bitch and also thicc as shit (amen 🙏), she’s so interesting even from what little information we’re given about her. She deserves more love as a character, I might draw fan art at some point.

[image id: a graphite pencil sketch of two men standing back to back, one in the foreground looking three quarters to the left, the other in the background looking left in profile. The first man is short and fat, with crossed arms and a grumpy expression. He is wearing a vest, tartan shirt and long, worn out pants. He has a beard and a beanie, and is missing an eye. The second man is very tall and skinny, with a black trench coat and peaked cap. He has a big nose, freckles and a small amount of facial hair. He is holding a book in his right hand, and light curly hair poking out beneath the cap. The whole left side of the drawing is shaded darker, and light is implied to come from the right. end id]
@thefandom-casserole here is the much-awaited lore post ⬇️
LORE:
Sampson (Sammy): 35 years old, 195cm (6’5)
ever since he was very young, death terrified him
the fear got worse the older he grew
so when he was 19, he sold his soul to the devil on the condition that if he died, he could cash in the soul for an extra life
for the next 10 years, Sampson attempted to break the deal. he committed a lot of crimes, and at one point accidentally gave his birth name to the fae (Sampson is his new name)
13 years later (aged 32), the devil got tired of waiting and staged an accident involving a train
sampson died
he managed to take the extra life without losing his soul
he did lose a leg and 2.5 fingers in the process, and gain a couple of pretty sick curses
one of which is the prosthetic goat leg, a reminder of what he owes.
basically he spent the last 3 years desperately outrunning his fate
the trench coat and peaked cap are his attempt at a disguise, and he refuses to wear anything else
+ fun fact! The outfit was the original inspiration for his entire design :) also go listen to Glass Animals’ songs ‘Space Ghost Coast to Coast’ and ‘Toes’
Robert (Lucky) Luckson: between 30-50 years old, 181cm (5’11)
When he was younger, he was in a relationship with a girl who would later turn out to be Fortune
it ended horribly, and as a breakup gift, Fortune cursed Lucky with immortality, and refused to see him again
he has the worst luck in the world
anything that can possibly go wrong for him will
he met Sampson soon after the latter’s death
yeah there’s not much Lucky lore yet.
theyre both grumpy sods, although while Lucky is just naturally stoic and silent, Sammy is whiny and paranoid and so tightly strung you could probably use him as a violin bow. Nevertheless they are best friends (or each other’s only friends?) and would go through hell for each other. (Except for one time Sampson got arrested for setting someone’s house on fire. But to be fair Lucky should not have had to deal with that mess and he was justified in leaving Sampson to rot for a few months. The fact that he got dragged to hell right as Lucky was changing his mind was NOT Lucky’s fault.)

How much time passes between Insidious 3 and 4? I imagine there's at least a decent gap, a few years or so maybe? I can't seem to find an official timeline anywhere,
