#caesar lives

[starry-blue-echoes]

Okay for the Caesar Lives AU just

His reaction to Joseph’s presumed death

Imagine. Joseph had just barely managed to get to the hotel on time to save Caesar. They manage to get him to a hospital to save his life, then get to the Pillarmen to do the whole fighting thing

Lisa Lisa having to be the one to tell Caesar that Joseph died saving the world.

And just….. it absolutely crushing Caesar.

His friend is dead. Sure he died for a good cause, he literally saved everyone on Earth, but he’s still gone

And call Caesar selfish, but honestly….. a not so small part of him would’ve preferred Joseph.

But at the same time, a small bit of ✨imposter syndrome✨ hits because Caesar doesn’t fully feel like he’s allowed to grieve as much as everyone else. He’d only knew Joseph for a month after all. Erina and Speedwagon had raised him and essentially lost their son, Lisa Lisa had actually lost her son as he learns later, and young Smokey who was still a teenager and essentially lost an older brother.

By comparison, Caesar’s relationship with Joseph was so much smaller.

So he decides to put his grief on the back burner and do whatever he can to help the others, because that’s definitely a healthy thing to do. The last time he lost someone, he ran away. He’s not going to do that again.

He helps plan the funeral, lends an ear if anyone wants to talk, makes sure everyone’s taking care of themselves, anything and everything to keep himself busy so he won’t have to think.

But then of course, the funeral itself comes.

And Caesar can’t ignore it anymore.

There’s nothing he can do here. No way to dodge around his emotions, no way to shove the thoughts away, no way to avoid the topic because if he missed Joseph’s funeral he’d despise himself even more. All the thoughts and feelings he shoved to the back of his mind came throttling back full speed and he was powerless.

Joseph is dead.

And he was partially responsible.

If he hadn’t run off in anger he wouldn’t have nearly died. If he hadn’t gotten hurt, Joseph wouldn’t have had to fight them alone. If he hadn’t lost to Wamuu, Joseph would have just taken the damn antidote and not tried to avenge him like the hard headed, sentimental idiot he was-

But he had been Caesar’s hard headed, sentimental idiot

And now he was gone

okay remember how caesar was defeated when he took a point blank divine sandstorm from wamuu? given how abrasive sand is: caesar lives AU but he is left blind from this injury

Oh gosh ! :’[ The last things he saw :

The argument and fight. Punching Jojo’s face.

The lonely snow glistening under a big Sun.

Wammu, slicing bubbles, his own blood, the sandstorm.

#ides of march #would you believe that I created this image all the way back in january STRICTLY BECAUSE I HAVE THAT MUCH BEEF WITH CAESAR? #this was created because he insisted that the Rhine was the border between Gaul and Germany #just so he could declare that he'd 'conquered' Gaul #but there's very little evidence that the peoples living in those places even viewed the Rhine as a barrier between lands #and their continued fighting against rome along that border line could indicate that they were in fact #attempting to reunite lands occupied by foreign invaders #anyway fuck you caesar i hope your triumph sucked ass #and that everyone who ever made bald jokes about you found idk a denarius in their pocket unexpectedly #yes i'm retroactively wishing dead people good and ill i'm complicated like that

WILL NO ONE RID ME OF THIS TROUBLESOME PRIEST ROMAN?

When Caesar arrived in pursuit on the third day, Theodotus showed him Pompey's head and ring, but Caesar was offended and wept.

-Liv. Per. 112.4

the title quotation is referring to the famous quote associated with the henry II-thomas becket conflict. the uhhhhh. the themes match, somewhat. feels the same, in some kind of way. anyway, fucking RIP to caesar and pompey. it's gotta be lonely, to start off as three, and then two, and even locked in conflict, there's a familiarity of being known that you're never going to have again. ah, what loss. what tragedy. etc etc etc.

The joke has been done already with Joseph but please. In the Caesar Lives au please let there be a moment where both of them hear the band names that match the Pillarmen names and have a mini heart attack-

-👾

JDBVJDBVDJVD Y E S

No one's able to get a clear answer out of them, and any time any song comes on by one of those four bands come on the radio is IMMEDIATELY getting changed, however the speed of which the change occurs varies

Like, Joseph is the only one who changes Santana, its essentially who's closer when they change ACDC and Cars, but Caesar always does Wham faster

so it’s. it’s like. man this is so hard without my laptop.

alright so Crassus is a weird guy, existentially. There’s a tendency to speculate, assign, and insert him into whatever places are conspiratorial and shadowy because he fits into those narrative places with ease. My personal favorite (aside from all of it) is the idea that he may have pulled strings wrt to Sulla and Caesar’s conflict to help get Caesar out of it.

The Defeat of Rome: Crassus, Carrhae and the Invasion of the East, Gareth C. Sampson

In the universe that exists in my head, he definitely had a hand in it, but he didn’t really intend for Caesar to figure out he played a part in it, but Caesar’s good at puzzles, and noticing someone goes both ways. Binding someone to yourself goes both ways.

Crassus: The First Tycoon, Peter Stothard

This scene takes place sometime relatively soon after Sulla’s death. Crassus has complicated feelings about it, Caesar less so. Veni, vidi, vici, baby!

Here’s a bonus thing that I keep thinking about with them.

The Roman Revolution, Ronald Syme

like, utang na loob. and it is DEEP between them.

#this is actually an old first draft script from a much longer Caesar/Crassus arc I’ve been writing #To go along with the Pompey/Crassus one #Accidentally it’s turned into a whole arc bc why not do the Caesar/Pompey civil war break up while I’m at it #anyway formatting all of this on my iPad was a nightmare no more comics that I have to split up for posting until I get a laptop #tris homines #roman republic tag #komiks tag #drawing tag #there’s a modern gangster AU version of this scene where Crassus and Caesar fuck on the floor in front of Sulla’s funeral portrait #Pompey is there too bc I finally remembered how I was tagging my tris homines live blog and found #The quote comparing the three to some kind of transgressive incestuous relationship. Thank u at my past self for live-blogging that #anyway this was relegated to first draft pits bc Crassus needs to have more bite about it but I wanted to draw them kissing. So. #(Waving a flag) get it caesar #(Bite as in sharp teeth and edges you could cut yourself on if you aren’t careful. Which is why Caesar is Always Very Careful #Pompey’s the opposite about it but I’ll get to those comics. Soon…….hopefully……………..) #gaius julius caesar #marcus licinius crassus

[nightswatchdisbandmentera]

The similarities between Julius Caesar’s assassination and the Ides of Marsh are well documented in fandom. It’s also generally agreed that the fall of the Night’s Watch will mirror the fall of the Roman Republic, which was quite ironically brought on by Caesar’s death. But I never see it acknowledged that Julius Caesar, some time after the establishment of Octavian’s Augustus’ rule, became deified (meaning that he was worshipped as a god or to put it bluntly, Julius Caesar ascended to godhood).

What does this have to do with Jon Snow? Well, apotheosis (1, 2) is one of the most important stages that comes towards the end of a hero’s journey. Here, the hero reaches some higher level of understanding or personhood, and this allows them to complete the hardest trials still to come in their journey. We see mental changes, but these could also be accompanied by physical changes. A good example of this in high fantasy is Gandalf’s death and return as Gandalf the White. In other myths and stories, we can point to the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ. In ASOIAF, we have mini versions of this with Bran Stark and Jojen Reed, two children who experience life or death situations but came back with heightened magical power (Bran especially).

Jon Snow is currently at his “journey to the underworld”/“belly of the whale” moment, where he is to (presumably) face his greatest trials. Apotheosis usually comes after this stage (and is often preceded by other stages such as the “meeting of the goddess” and “atonement with the father”, both of which could very well appear in Jon’s journey as he learns of his true identity and purpose).

But what would apotheosis mean for Jon? That’s the key question. He is sure to experience profound mental changes and trauma, but these are sure to be accompanied by great magical changes that manifest physically. In the same way that Bran came out of his coma and started his journey as the last greenseer (well, once Bloodraven kicks the bucket), Jon is sure to come out of his death experience a far more powerful being. The thing is that Jon needs to change into the hero Westeros needs and the magical act of dying and coming back to life should play a role in that.

However, it won’t all be fine and dandy for him. GRRM has criticized Gandalf’s return where he seemingly came back to life better than ever with no great effects. In the same way that Jon is literally experiencing a descent into the underworld (a step that is sometimes figurative for many modern heroes), we can also ascertain that he will experience a very literal ascension into godhood (or the closest thing we have to that in ASOIAF). But magic always comes with a price. And whatever sort of “god” Jon turns into post-resurrection, he won’t be a very pretty one.

#asoiaf #valyrianscrolls #jon snow #I didn’t have space for this in the post but I think we’re bound to see an anti parallel at work with jon and euron greyjoy #euron very much wants to become a god - heck he has a whole spiel about being worshipped like one #but euron will likely be a false god #the way stannis will likely be a false savior #but SOMEONE has to be the real deal right…? #and if you’re like me and you believe jon will attain his hero’s boon - aka lightbringer #then it’s probably gonna be #belly of the whale (death) > meeting the goddess/atonement with the father (learning rlj) > #return to the living > apotheosis > ultimate boon (finally forging lightbringer and proving himself to be azor ahai) > ?? > kinghood/profit #yeah idk #julius caesar #historical parallels #the heros journey #lit analysis
