#agron gives ALL the fucks series

[aphroditestummyrolls]

How'bout Agron for the character thing 😉✨

Alona! ❤️ hi!

First impression: I saw him coming from a mile away! He and Nasir were the whole reason I started the show, so I had been eagerly awaiting his arrival for seven whole episodes. And even after all that, my first thought was— what the fuck is wrong with your hair???

Impression now: my big Butthead ❤️🥺❤️

Favorite moment: there are so many! There’s a whole show’s worth of them! Ummm I’ll pick a top three?

1) first kiss is too easy— SECOND KISS. When they’re supposed to be watching Illythia, and instead decide to make out against the wall in the temple. Big fan of that. When Mira relieves them, it’s the look on Agron’s face that really gets me. He looks so YOUNG for a minute, ya know? All fresh-faced and excited. Agron’s never been in love/crushed on a person like he is Nasir, and it shows. All in one face.

2) 3x01!!! You know the scene! ❤️😩🥺❤️

3) the last. The very last scene, where he sets his shield over Spartacus’ body and takes Nasir’s hand. GROWTH. ACCEPTING THAT HE IS CAPABLE OF THINGS OTHER THAN WAR AS LONG AS NASIR IS BY HIS SIDE. YES.

Idea for a story: I’d really like to write a full backstory for Agron and Duro, starting as children and ending with them being sold into slavery and heading for Capua. I have a lot of ideas for his family and his upbringing that I’m very attached to, and would love to share.

unpopular opinion: I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again— Agron was right about the mines.

Favorite relationship: NASIR! ❤️ but also... drumroll... CRIXUS. I love their potential and am forever sad that they didn’t get to grow into a friendship in the series. I think they have so much in common, and so much that they never got to understand about each other, and if just one or two things have been shifted around in canon, we could’ve gotten more affection between them.

Favorite headcanon: I’m actually working on the last chapter of the story that explores this right now! Agron raised Duro. From a very young age, he was brother, mother, and father to his baby brother and they were more or less completely alone in the world for a long time. When Agron lost Duro, he lost his best and only friend. (Related to this is my headcanon that, were Agron alive in a modern setting, he’d be considered to have an anxiety disorder. That combined with the feral type of childhood he had can give a lot of good reasoning behind Agron’s behavior and reactions in the show, IMO).

Thanks for playing!

[sauntering-down]

i’ve never listened to a single episode of tma because i hate podcasts (yeah, just say things at me while i zone out or get distracted and hear 0 of it, there’s a recipe for success) but it’s all over my dash and i’ve passively absorbed random bits of info.  so i see An Art and start sifting through the mental filing cabinet like ‘okay, which character is this’ and so far i’ve got

Jon: the protagonist?  he shows up a lot in everything.  asexual and that’s fuckin gr8, got eaten by worms or something which is where all the scars come from, can maybe read minds.  makes statements.  gets shipped with a bunch of people but mostly Martin.  i think he ended the world, but like, not really???  also he’s the Eye, in a proxy sort of way

Martin: Big.  every art of him makes him look extremely cuddly but rumor has it he’s secretly a little shit.  burns things?  loves Jon?  Jon causes the apocalypse and then they go off to the countryside to raise cows, which is giving me some very Agron-and-Nasir-from-Spartacus vibes.  he’s the Lonely which may or may not be a metaphor for depression.  i feel ya, dude

Michael: the Spiral.  people call him Fuckhands McMike, which made me laugh the first time i read it but then i saw art and WHAT IS WRONG WITH HIS FINGERS???????  get that fucking Slender Man bullshit out of my face

Mike Crew: NOT the same guy as the other Michael, took me a while to realize that.  tiny?  he’s either the sea one or the storm one idk

Peter Lucas: i get him mixed up with Mike Crew a lot.  might be the Vast if that isn’t Mike.  one of them has a boat

Basira: i think she’s the one with the hijab and also possibly girlfriends w/ Daisy?

Daisy: yeah see above i know nothing

Elias and/or Jonah Magnus: they may be the same person.  only thing i know about either of them is they’re basically the series’s Xanatos because they’re bad, but also most of the fandom wants to fuck them

Sasha: used to be Sasha, isn’t Sasha anymore

all the entities: creepypasta

the plot: i genuinely have no idea. this might be more incomprehensible than Night Vale, another podcast i never listened to

#man whatever happened to Night Vale anyway? #it used to be EVERYWHERE and i haven't heard a single thing about it in YEARS #anyway yeah i don't know tma but y'all clearly love it so #keep on keepin' on

Name ten favourite characters from ten different things (books, tv, film, etc.) 

Then tag ten people

Tagged (ages ago, whoops!) by @castiel-saved-me-from-myself 

(I’m sorry, I got distracted!)

1.Supernatural. Castiel.

Obviously. I may be out of the fandom now, but I’ve never loved a character as much as Cas, and probably never will.

2. Good Omens. Aziraphale.

Thought I’d put both my darling angels at the top :) I suspect that without Zira there to pave the way Castiel may not even have existed, so I love him double - for himself and for Cas as well :p 

While really quite different when it comes to their personalities (just think how Zira would SHUDDER at Cas’ trenchcoat), they share a lot of character traits and tropes (mini-series!Zira anyway, maybe less so in the book, or less obviously anyway), so, no surprise that I should adore them both. I’ve also said before, and I stand by it, that Aziraphale is sort of a combination of my favourite aspects of both Cas and Dean in one, with Cas’ struggle with Heaven/god and trying to be a good angel and finding he loves humanity/earth more, plus Dean’s whole ‘performing Dean’ thing and repression of queer feelings he is scared to admit to (out loud) because he believes they are somehow ‘wrong.’ 

...just to give a little insight into my feelings about these two that was neither needed nor asked for...

4. Hellblazer. NBC Constantine. Legends of Tomorrow. John Constantine. 

Aaaand the other guy I love twice because Cas, and indeed spn in general, kinda owe their existence to him. Though in turn his fabulous live action portrayal by Matt Ryan probably owes its existence to spn and Castiel’s popularity. So... there’s a weird ouroboros situation happening with my favs here that makes my head spin whenever I think about it, but I love it - stories within stories built on stories feeding off stories, which connects to wider themes of story and storytelling being vital and intrinsic to life and stuff.

Anyway, despite his wardrobe, Johnny is NOTHING LIKE CAS. He is, in fact, a lot like Dean. But I like him more. Maybe because he’s British :p He has the whole ‘repressing his feelings’ things, a bit like Zira, but it’s not because he thinks they are wrong, it’s more of a coping mechanism to deal with the constant tragedy/trauma his life/lifestyle/fate causes him to suffer. But whatever the reason, I like my characters facing that struggle :) (actually the British element is probably way more significant to my enjoyment of him than I’ve been fully aware of... that’s probably why I loved Zira so fast as well... obviously they are both a completely different class of British, literally, but the fact they ARE British is INTRINSIC to both their characters, and I guess a little, vaguely patriotic part of me is excited by that... :p)

4. Gotham. Edward Nygma.

Since I’ve started giving explanations - I love Eddie because he’s also got the whole ‘emotionally repressed’ / out of touch with (his) emotions thing going on (as seen in Zira and Cas), but with the addition of various geeky / ‘tech guy’ character traits that I also love.

5. Doctor Who (Classic). Vislor Turlough.

I waxed poetic once about how I liked Gotham’s Edward Nygma because he reminded me a bit of Turlough. That was early on in my Gotham days though and given how Eddie developed I don’t see as many similarities now. Turlough shares some of Eddie’s ‘dark’ traits however - self-centered, often lacking in empathy for others and nonplussed (sometimes even happy) to see them get into trouble or hurt. But ultimately his attempts to be self-serving and cowardly end up thwarted by him developing feelings for specific individuals despite his best efforts, which is what I enjoy about him (and actually that’s a lot like Eddie still, huh... their endgame’s are opposing though ofc - while Eddie goes on to embrace being a villain, Turlough gives up on villainy and even becomes a bit of a hero, now and then). Plus, Turlough is the ONLY Companion (IIRC?) to have joined the Doctor specifically in order to MURDER him and... idk, I just think that’s cool :P

6. Doctor Who (New). Donna Noble.

(I’m trying not to double up on fandoms/shows so I can cover more, but New and Classic Who count as different things, kinda, right...?)

Donna doesn’t really fit any of the character traits I’ve talked about above, though I guess her low self-esteem is something that all my other favs share in various ways (though it’s not such an EXPLICIT aspect of their characters and story arcs as it was for Donna I’d say). What I first loved about her was that after YEARS of New companions (and other randoms) being literally in love with the Doctor, she had a strictly platonic relationship with him. Yeah, I think maybe the show was a bit heavy-handed about it, but even so it came as a huge breath of fresh air and frankly a RELIEF to me. Not that I’m opposed to the Doctor having romantic/sexual  relationships, it was just that... coming from a childhood love of the Classic series where that just... didn’t happen (save a fleeting kiss in the TV Movie - which I actually enjoyed fyi!), it just... idk, was starting to stretch my credulity that EVERYONE seemed to be falling for him maybe? Or at least for me it was growing tiresome. So the fact she didn’t have that element to her character/story was a plus. Then I just adore how loud and brash she is when calling anyone, including the Doctor, out on their shit (I envy her that maybe). Plus I like the way she isn’t... traditional TV pretty, you know? (ie. young and slim, like a lot of other companions).

...or maybe I just like redheads *shrug emoji* 

7. Spartacus. Naevia.

(she has two actresses okay? and they both deserve kudos!)

Truth is I love FUCKING EVERYTHING AND EVERYONE IN THIS SHOW. Spartacus is like... my PERFECT SHOW. There isn’t a single moment, a single plotline, a single character that I don’t enjoy. I have never even CONSIDERED looking up or writing fic because the finished product is completely satisfying exactly as it is. God. But I wanted it represented in this list so I had to pick someone!

Considering the time period there couldn’t really BE a ‘geeky, emotionally repressed with low self-esteem’ character :p BUT nearly ALL of the characters have the whole ‘struggle to understand/discover who they are’ thing and the ‘who I am and want to be is counter to who I’ve been told I am / should be’ arc, on account of the main cast being rebelling slaves (though the other characters are equally complex and compelling and I love them too - Lucy Lawless in particular is incredible!). Anyone who’s seen me blog about the show before might have thought I’d pick either Agron or Nasir as my favs, since I do like to squee over their romance. But whenever I think about the show it’s usually Naevia who I remember first, because her character arc/development just BLEW ME AWAY. She went from someone I’d kinda dismissed at first as a typical het love interest to a WARRIOR GODDESS and you SEE all the key moments of that growth, you FEEL it, it makes ALL THE SENSE. And her romance with Crixus, which again I was initially a bit dismissive of as a typical, sudden, weak het romance, grows into, imo, one of the deepest, most developed, most believable love stories in the show. So yeah. Naevia. Amazing.

8. Due South. Ray Vecchio. 

(he’s the guy not the dog - gifs were limited! ...also the dog is actually a wolf, it’s a whole thing... that doesn’t need exploring at this juncture)

Ray was my first TV crush :P He had a bit of a sidekick vibe to him I guess, which I like (lead characters tend not to interest me as much). He wasn’t ‘geeky’ exactly, but he def had the ‘trying to look/act cooler than I am’ thing going on... also an obsessive attachment to his vintage car... meanwhile his partner Benny was the stoic, ‘British, stiff upper lip, keep emotions in check’ one who was always trying to live up to the ideal persona dictated by his people/employers, in this case the Royal Canadian Mounted Police... HUH, so... it’s actually SUPER WEIRD that I ended up loving Cas and Zira over Dean and Crowley when it seems pretty clear suddenly that my first big fictional fav was CLEARLY the Dean-Crowley to Benny’s Cas-Zira......?? Ray was FUNNY in a way Dean and Crowley aren’t though, I think? He def filled a ‘comic relief’ slot on the regular and I liked that a lot (it also made his serious, angsty moments EXTRA serious and angsty, and extra angst is something I always love!)

9. The Librarians. Eve Baird.

Remember this little show? It was... is... sorta ridiculous. Not amazing. Based on some... very cheap, very OBVIOUS Indiana Jones rip-off films, that were also ridiculous and... not... great (the third one is the best, with an awesome performance by Stana Katic aka Kate Beckett as a vampire, but I digress). But... idek, I am EXTREMELY FOND of the series for some reason :p

There are a WHOLE BUNCH of characters that fit my ‘type’ more than Eve tbh... in fact... probably every.single.other.main.cast.member (save perhaps Jenkins?) shares the traits above that typically make a character my fav. But... EVE! I just... think she’s neat! ...maybe it’s BECAUSE all the others are main/lead characters that makes me gravitate towards her? In a cast where ‘geeky, socially awkward, struggles with emotions’ is the norm, Eve being the no-nonsense, socially competent, badass soldier type therefore becomes different and thus more interesting to me? Also, much like with Donna, I appreciate that she’s an older woman who gets to have a full character and plot of her own. There’s also something about her romance with Flynn that... makes me feel warm and fuzzy.

10. Buffy the Vampire Slayer. Jonathan Levinson.

(tumblr gif search failed me so I had to grab from elsewhere...)

Listen. Look. Okay. Buffy is pretty old school these days so, for anyone not in the know, as a character, originally, Jonathan... he wasn’t even a side character, he wasn’t even REOCCURRING, he was barely a background character. For several episodes he didn’t have a name and it wasn’t until several seasons after he became ‘Jonathan’ that he actually got a surname. Danny Strong was just an actor who happened to be occasionally on-hand when the script called for a random to have a line, until eventually that happened often enough for Joss to think ‘hey, you know what, let’s make this guy an actual part of the show...’ 

He got a couple of episodes focused on him in S03 and S04 respectively, but didn’t become a regular until S06 (and wasn’t in S05 AT ALL). Other than that he had a HANDFUL of ‘blink and you’ll miss it’ moments here and there, not even full scenes for the most part, usually lasting no longer than the above gif.

I tell you all this so that when I say childhood me (well... somewhere between 12 and 14 years anyway) was OBSESSED with this character in the show, and I mean O B S E S S E D (to the point of spending hours painstakingly making VHS recordings purely of the episodes he was in), you understand how UTTERLY BIZARRE that was. Because this obsession pre-dated S06. Was, in fact, in full swing during the airing of his S04 episode - which was, like, a fucking DREAM COME TRUE for freakily obsessed me fyi, because the whole episode was constructed with him as the LEAD CHARACTER, because he’d performed a spell to make him super awesome. They even changed the title sequence to read ‘Jonathan’ instead of Buffy! And while other fans were no doubt just lol-ing at the random I was bouncing about on my sofa all ‘MY TIME HAS COME!’ and fucking SWOONING over seeing MY CHARACTER suddenly in the spotlight and getting to do crazy fun OOC shit like this -

Then when S06 rolled around and HE WAS A LEGIT REGULAR, omg, I was in HEAVEN! First TV boxset I ever bought that - Buffy S06 :P

So... yeah. A bit of a fav. Geeky. Outcast. Slowly grows more morally grey, what with that spell I mentioned and also the fact he was teamed with the ANTAGONISTS in S06. I guess you could say he was the beginning of a lot of my fav fictional character traits/tropes (though looking back - I think his ‘villainous’ teammates in S06, Andrew and Warren, are more my ‘type’ these days, and I did end up loving Andrew especially a whole damn lot, but at the time I’d been a Jonathan fangirl for so.fucking.long. there was just no chance anyone else in the show was ever gonna come close to my heart!)

THE END.

Sorry not sorry for the tmi. I got a bit too into this one.

Actually sorry I have so few women on the list :( Internalised misogyny/sexism is a real thing and I spent a lot of my life being... somewhat unfairly dismissive of female characters or at least prioritising male ones over them. I’m working on it.

Ten people is SO.MANY. to tag. But I might as well do this right this time, since I’ve come so far. But if you’d rather not play, no worries! <3

Spartacus: Vengeance Rewatch - Episode 1: Fugitivus

Sex Scene: All of them. They went to a whorehouse.

“Cock”: 4

“Cunt”: 2

“Kill Them All”: 0 (I wonder if this is said at all in S2 or 3)

“Fucking Gaul”: 3

Slow motion Face Punch:0

Episode Name Dropped by: Aurelia

Memorable Death:  Aurelia

Favourite Line: “We must stand as one, or fall divided.”

- This is the greatest way they could have introduced the new Spartacus actor. It was amazing.

- Spartacus facing down that horse is beautiful.

- AGRON!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

- DONAR!! =]

- He’s still throwing his bloody sword.

- I love that Donar has this axe thing, it’s awesome and sets him apart from the other gladiators.

- This beginning fight scene is so well done.

- Agron oh gosh. He’s so angry, so crazed by his grief. Everyone is so wary of him, but like he lost his brother. My poor baby.

-  “I believe the man dead.” – the moment I fell in love with Donar and his bromance with Agron.

- I can always rely on Agron to say “cock”

-  Spartacus has never really been a savage until right now when he carves a message into a dead guy’s chest. Seriously, wtf. 

- I’m so in love with Agron’s necklace.

- Ha! Rome, it looks like it’s still being built. That’s hilarious.

- Pompey mention!

- What is with all those masks?! How fucking creepy.

- “Where youth plummets, maturity may soar.”

- As someone who hasn’t ever paid any interest in wars, all this undoubtedly historically accurate war talk is super boring.

- Everyone under the sun is named Marcus

- Varinius!! BAHAHAHAHAHAHA oh man, seriously. Just, Brett Tucker is an Aussie actor that has been in basically everything! I can’t take him seriously.

- AND HE FUCKING SAID MONGRELS!

- Seriously this triangle between Ilithyia, Varinius, and Glaber is basically the entire subplot of S2.

- The one thing I get super bored of in Spartacus is men and their egos.

- Mira is literally in the sewers and she’s still a queen.

- Oh hey, the Veteran!

- The kid that says “I will kill many Romans” looks like Tyler Lockwood from Vampire Diaries.

- You can actually see Mira’s face fall when Aurelia comes into view. Like she knows that when Aurelia is around Spartacus can see no one else. It’s not a romantic thing, it’s a Varro thing.

- Agron and Donar bromance, I love it. Almost makes up for Duro’s death, almost.

- The Gauls are mostly comprised of New Zealanders – just an observation.

- I sometimes can’t believe that the gladiators treat the house slaves so poorly and sometimes don’t seem to give a fuck about any slaves still in chains.

- “Rabbits” - I still don’t understand this.

-  Oh, Acer.

-  Yessss Mira!!!!!

- Oh the showdown between the Gauls and the rest of the slaves is so intense and beautifully done.

- I really like that even with the new actor they still put all the same scars on him. Good job.

- Oh gosh. Mira loves Spartacus so much…..and S2 Spartacus clearly cares for her way more than he did in S1, but still. She deserves better.

- “I have proven troublesome to kill.”

- Gah, the thing with Spartacus in S2 is he cares more about killing Romans than protecting the other slaves. At least Mira and even Agron are there to pick up the slack.

- “I hear you wish to command my men.” – when I first heard this I thought it very antagonistic, like the fractions were splitting apart. But it’s more of Spartacus being the head honcho, and Crixus being a General that leads his own fraction but still reports to Spartacus. Warfare is not my thing but I’m learning.

- Yeah, because a curtain is going to give you so much privacy. Everyone can still hear you guys.

- “Did his blood bear fruit?”

- Trebius! Ah!

- Arena games!!! Oh how I miss you!

- Seppia really freaking frustrates me. She is so childish and has no idea the kinds of games she’s playing. She’s a fool.

- Seppius and Seppia are fucking right? That’s what they’re implying? A whole bunch of incest? I wanna hate it but I can see it.

- I don’t understand how the gladiator fights could be boring? Or how Batiatus’ gladiators could have made it more entertaining? You’re still watching two dudes kill each other.

- I haven’t even watch Star Wars but Oenomaus in that cloak gives me Jedi vibes.

- That guy in the alley gives me Pirates of The Caribbean vibes.

-  On one hand whenever I see Oenomaus I’m like “Don’t hurt this precious baby.” But then again “Hell yes baby you kick their asses!”

- Holy shit!!!!!!!!!!! Arm bone through the skin!!!!!!! Shit! Knife through the eye!!!!! Ah! Right through the jaw!!!!! Oenomaus is such a badass!

- Aurelia talking about how much she wants to go back to Janis. Well, you shouldn’t have left him in the first place! Her pride was as foolish as any man’s.

- “That lopsided grin. Eye’s promising mischief. I’ve seen in many times, upon his father.” –seriously my shipper heart. Spartacus loved Varro, it’s canon.

- “I fell to love the crooked bend of Varro's lips long before the man himself.” “As did I.” – IT’S MOTHERFLIPPING CANON I TELL YOU.

- I mean Spartacus can be a kind man when he wants to. He’s just very single minded.

- Gotta give their art department props. Having a fake pregnant woman be naked, and it look real….like damn, they deserve a pat on the back.

- I am loving Ilithyia’s purple gown thing though, wowzah.

- Marcus Crassus mention again!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

- “She was a fucking bitch” – I find that fucking hilarious.

- Agron said bleat! Goat reference! My shipper heart!

- Wow, Spartacus said “whores” somehow that’s more shocking than anything else on this show.

- I love Agron’s loyalty to Spartacus but I wish Spartacus would see it too. In this season and the next he kind of treats Agron like crap.

- “You had me at whores.” – I love Donar.

- “Avoid unnecessary risk.” Sparty, baby, do you realise who you talking to?!

- Loving the idea of Mira, Donar, and Agron planning behind Spartacus’ back. These are the people who want to protect the other slaves, not spend every day covered in Roman blood.

- “As are all things, in pursuit of a woman.” Gotta love the salty gay trope. Agron pulls it off swimmingly.

- “I will tell Janis of you. Of the man who loved his father above all others.” CANON. I really didn’t ship Spartacus and Varro this much the first time around.

- “I gave my word. Blood and Honour. It yet speaks to the man.” as said in S1.

- Gladiators in hoods is everything!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

- Woman with a massive dildo fucking a dude. Yep.

- Oh! I think this is the first penis shots we’ve had in a while.

- Guy on Guy sex. Well then. So much gay sex in this series, it’s glorious.

- The four guys throwing the girl around makes me super fucking uncomfortable, especially when you can hear her. She is so not enjoying this.

- Another memorable death = dude jerking off and just as he’s about to finish, gets a sword through his throat.

- It’s gotta suck so bad for all these guys that are dying with their dicks out. Especially that guy that got a sword right between the legs. Ouch.

- Never noticed but there’s a very very large woman in the whorehouse and a skinny guy on all fours in front of her. I’m so curious about what’s happening there.

- How many innocent body slaves died in this attack???

- Poor boy with cum all over his face.

- Trebius is so fucking disgusting. Peeing all over that girl.

- I get that this girl is probably horrendously traumatized but she really have to go and kill the only lead they had to Naevia.

- AGRON KICKING THE SHIT OUTTA TREBIUS COS HE SOLD HIM AND DURO TO BATIATUS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Ahh my heart!

- I seriously hate Spartacus in this scene and it kind of tainted him for me. He’s telling Agron that he can’t kill Trebius as revenge for Duro, BUT THIS IS EXACTLY WHAT SPARTACUS IS DOING WITH GLABER! He’s such a fucking hypocrite!

- Crixus sticking his hand inside Trebius’ gut is so gross.

-  I get that Glaber is angry at Ilithyia but she clearly has some PTSD that is triggered by that house and he’s forcing her to stay there. Not cool.

- OVER THE CLIFF!! Yes Ilithyia!

- There’s no logical reason for that mask to be there, except to provoke memories.

- Flashback penis.

-  I never noticed but Ilithyia has a really big mouth.

- I honestly thought the figure was gonna be Spartacus, I was so surprised to see Lucretia.

- Lucretia being out of her freaking mind is magical. All the props to the actress.

- “What fragments her shattered mind yet holds.”

- Seriously, the male ego.

- Old woman slave = headcanon that she ran the whole Battiatus household. Also, that young boy slave is super attractive, how has Agron not noticed this?!?

- “Grab your fucking cock.” – oh wait, maybe he has! Ha!

- Foreshadow of Agron not thinking house/body salves are worth much. Ahhhhhhh how wrong he shall be ;)

- “We knew this day would come” SPARTACUS YOU MADE THIS DAY COME, YOU WROTE A FUCKING MESSAGE! Gah!

- Angry little lost boy. Agron is my fave if you can’t already tell.

-  “That is no longer my title.” – poor baby.

- “There is but one place for an animal without honour.”

- Singleminded Spartacus is one of my least faves.

- I love how they take Lucretia way back to the drought, to before Spartacus killed Theokoles.

- I really love how in this show they show woman with pubic hair, COS IT’S FUCKING NATURAL and women shouldn’t have to shave because society tells them to.

- “Smashed upon the cliffs.” – foreshadowing!

- Argh! This leaning back shit women do during sex scenes on tv annoys the hell outta me. That move is done purely for the male viewers. For the women doing it, it’s really fucking awkward.

-  “You bark as a dominus.” “Sheep stand idle if not prodded by snapping jaw.” – I love Agron and Donar moments.

- “Let us compare teeth and have answer.” – they are basically talking about comparing dick sizes right?????

- Lucretia with dark hair and wearing a purple dress. Goddess.

- “Do not shed fucking tear.”

- Fucking love that Lucretia is the one to spot Spartacus.

- Seppius rolling his eyes at Glaber. Me too, bro, me too.

- Ah the foreshadow of Glaber and Seppia. Yuck.

- The rebels coming to Spartacus’ aid. I love their loyalty.

- Seriously Donar and his axe.

- Agron picking up Aurelia and throwing her over his shoulder. It’s hilarious because she is so freaking tiny compared to him, and also cos he’s super gay and doesn’t understand females at all.

- Lucretia and Crixus seeing each other again is super powerful.

- MIRA with a “fucking Gauls.” Did not see that coming.

-  “Do any of us hold fucking worth to you?”

- Mira’s little rant to Spartacus is all well and good, but did she have to be mean to Agron.

- The Spartacus and Crixus bromance is strong in S2.

- VENGEANCE NAME DROP.

- Agron looks so little, so small and young. My baby.

- I still fucking hate Aurelia.

- I do love that Agron was willing to go and fight Glaber because of Aurelia, someone he didn’t even seem to like at all.Baby’s got a heart.

- THE BEGINNING OF THE REBEL ARMY!!!!!!!!!!!YAAAAAS!

15 Random Headcanons

Repost, don’t reblog, 15 random headcanons about your muse.

Tagged by: @moonoverbourbon

Tagging: @fvckthegods, @provemyselfalone, @agonymasked, @thepocketqueer, @xmythikosx, @thewillfulones, @heartoftherhine and anyone else who wants to! Tag me so I see it!

I’ve talked about some of these to some of you before, but here goes. Also, I’m putting this under a cut because I can’t stfu about my child and got wordy (sorry, mobile users).

I headcanon him as largely illiterate in his canon verse. His dominus didn’t need him to be smart, just pretty and obedient. This is one of about two things he has a bit of an inferiority complex about, and one of the reasons he feels he would not be a good leader, though he would never say any of that out loud.  (His reading level obvs varies by verse, but even in his modern college AU, he’d rather do something physical/athletic than read a book he doesn’t have to.)

In spite of the above, he is very intelligent. He’s just far more people smart than bookish. He speaks German conversationally by WotD (my headcanon) and is extremely observant and intuitive.

Spartacus recognized his observant nature early on (probably when he noticed the Roman saw he didn’t have his collar on and immediately took steps to keep them from leaving), and this is one of the reason he seems to often be used as Spartacus’ eyes throughout the series. He’s very often on the wall, or the one who comes running to Spartacus with news about some bullshit or another. lol

He assisted the medicus after he healed from his injury after almost dying on the way back from the mines. This one is actually canon based, because I like to analyze tiny details no one else gives a shit about sometimes. When Oenomaus rises for the first time after they rescue him, Nasir is the first person to greet him on his feet and they share a very warm smile and handshake/arm clasp. Nasir would not have even known Oenomaus prior to him being brought to the temple unconscious. I headcanon Nasir HAD to have assisted the medicus (to pay back the care he was given, imo) to have formed any kind of bond with Oenomaus at all. (Give me an Oenomaus, someone, please.) I also figure he continued to assist the medicus when he was able throughout the war, thought that became less and less as he rose up among Spartacus’ strongest. Still, when Laeta gets speared fleeing Sinuessa with Gannicus and Sybil, it’s Nasir that assesses her wound and says she will live if treated. (Give me Laeta as well, I want her.) He is probably not stitching wounds or preparing concoctions, etc., but he’s got some very basic medical skill/knowledge.

He became the leader of the rebels after the war (post-canon), in spite of not believing he’d be good at it or wanting it. Agron was still badly wounded, and never had the temperament for it anyway. Nasir’s own morality more closely follows Spartacus’ than Agron’s as well. I think leadership defaulted to him, and he likely enlisted the aid of Laeta, and he fucking rocked it. He makes a good leader, if an initially reluctant one. But honestly, aren’t the people who want power the least probably the ones we should be putting in power?

His attack on Spartacus when first freed was as much a suicide attempt as an attempted homicide. He never expected to live through that. He truly believed his life was over, and I headcanon that he spent at least a few days to weeks trying to provoke others during training until someone (probably Agron) said something to him to make him realize his thinking was wrong.

He can’t cook to save his life in any verse (even vamp Nasir, with all that time to kill, just NOPED at me). He’s not a great hunter either, as he’s not great with ranged weapons. But he can skin, clean, and gut any animal you bring him (canon verse).

He’s artistic in every verse (he falls in and out of practice in vamp verse). In modern verse, there’s probably paint on him somewhere at all times. But even in canon, verse? Who do you think painted that serpent on Agron’s shield/sword thing? Not to mention, even coming up with the idea for that weapon was creative af. After the war, he and Agron built him a forge so he could continue the metal work he’d learned, and he took up blacksmithing, both for practical and artistic reasons. He always smells vaguely of smoke and heated metal in my post-war headcanon.

Yes, he and Agron have a goat farm post-canon, but the goats are largely Agron’s. Nasir has his forge, and that’s his domain. He likes the goats, of course, and seeing Agron with them amuses him and makes him happy, but he sometimes threatens to eat them just for shits and giggles.

NSFW-ish: With two exceptions (vamp verse and sex worker verse), he can be extremely modest about sex. That doesn’t mean he won’t be a freak in the sheets with someone he trusts by any means (if he’s allowed you to touch him, don’t ever stop, ffs). It means he requires privacy. He doesn’t want people in the next room to hear him. He can get very flustered if people try to talk about his sex life or the sex life of say, his brother (or, I’m sure, anyone he considers kin). He was basically a sex slave in his canon verse, and as a result does not wish to be “on display” in any way with people he’s not actually intimate with, even just talk. It bleeds into most verses. Though he might occasionally send his girl friends sexual-ish texts (like telling them he’s scrap booking dick pics, for example) if he’s high in modern verse, and Naevia can get him to say stuff he wouldn’t with most. ;)

In any verse Mahdi (@agonymasked) exists in, Nasir has a bit of an inferiority complex about him. It doesn’t matter how much I tell him he’s wrong, he’s pretty convinced Mahdi is the smarter, better brother, even if it’s unlikely he will EVER say those words to any other living soul. It’s probably why he’s so stupidly overprotective (and probably overbearing, sorry Mahdi). He must protect his precious baby brother, and fuck any consequences that come his own way because of it.

He’s never learned to handle his drink. Even in verses where he’s done much harder drugs (sex worker and vamp verse--those are usually he outlier verses lol), he just gets drunk pretty easily. He blames his size, but he knows smaller women who can drink him under the table.

He’s great with kids in every verse. In canon verse, I like to think of him and Agron adopting war orphans when they are ready (or reincarnated versions of siblings, or children from their fallen brothers, lol). I LOVE papa!Nasir plots. Throw them at me, if it makes sense for our muses! Just be aware children’s language can become colorful around Nasir after a while.

I think it goes without saying that I don’t think anything happened between Nasir and Castus. There was no cheating. Nasir probably enjoyed the flattery more than he wished he did, and that was the extent of it. I feel like Nasir defended Castus as hard as he did because he saw something of himself in him. Nasir was once the outsider that Agron and Crixus both wanted dead. Not only was defending Castus the right thing to do, but Nasir had learned from his own experiences about second chances, and about not judging people from where they came from. (More about that in the link for #15.) I can absolutely imagine shipping Nasir with Castus in a world where Agron is not around (for whatever reason), or as a poly ship with Agron. I think there was enough evidence to suggest Agron was coming around where Castus was concerned in canon.

Here’s a long ass meta I wrote ten months ago about Nasir’s relationship with Spartacus.
