[brother-emperors]

 Then, on his arrival in Constantinople, after much counsel with himself, considering that he was already unequal to the amount of pressing business and believing that there was no room for delay, on the twenty-eighth of March he brought the aforesaid Valens into one of the suburbs​ and with the consent of all (for no one ventured to oppose) proclaimed him Augustus. Then he adorned him with the imperial insignia and put a diadem on his head, and brought him back in his own carriage, thus having indeed a lawful partner in his power, but, as the further course of our narrative will show, one who was as compliant as a subordinate. No sooner were these arrangements perfected without disturbance than both emperors were seized with violent and lingering fevers--

this was one of those illustrations that was originally supposed to be a 5 page comic until I realized I don't know anything about later roman empire architecture or visuals or art or anything, so we'll revisit that later. maybe

for right now though, these two are fascinating. we have two brothers acting as one body, even becoming ill in tandem with each other, it's giving This Throne Is Cursed. like, the last time I read about emperors coming down with life threatening illnesses, it was Caligula, and that moment in his biography marked a very specific tone shift. I spent the rest of the (first) time reading about Valens and Valentinian waiting for something comparable to Caligula's reign to happen lmao (Dio 59. 8. 1-2)

and since Caligula was already on the mind, I started thinking about Tiberius: I think he would've loved these two since he had a whole thing about twin-ification and brothers and etc etc etc. ofc, Rome is both a Mouth and a Tomb, so it's going to go badly for someone/everyone eventually, but honestly I think that Valentinian and Valens were the best we could've hoped for. like it could've been so much worse

#(drawing hearts around valens) hiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii #roman empire tag #drawing tag #every day i think about valentinian bringing his brother into this and wondering how valens felt about it #especially since the over all arc is that he's constantly just trying to tread water managing everything from six different fronts #did you ever want things to go back to how they were!!!! did you dream of simpler times!!!!!! when it was just hard work and dirt #under your nails instead of the horrible scale of empire choking you out to the very end!!!!!!!!! did you hate your brother for it #im normal about valens. btw. (<<<said by a guy who made valens his icon on his main art blog) #anyway. (claps hands together) im going to go and write about bonifacio and mabini and lucan and crassus and the pharsalia #and mabini's writings on a failed revolution and bonifacio haunting the collective memory #i gotta condense it down to a thousand words. ideally. we are rambling around at around 2k and its unwieldy #valens #valentinian I #later Roman Empire tag

he's doing average jason things! weather's been warming up so they've been sending him out to dig holes in the garden lately

#jason todd #basketball #asks <3 #ty for the ask!! #he goes nuts for dig holes in dirt. close calls with the water pipes have been had

The Martian brainrot is real, and I am in desperate need of more fan content for this godforsaken book.

congratulations to Murtagh the Rider for becoming Alagaesia’s first computer scientist

#murtagh #alagaesia #eragon #the inheritance cycle #truehumanpost #finally got around to starting this book and lol #does drawing a line in the dirt and enchanting it so that “if water turn right” really count as computer science? #i say yeah close enough. it’s an object carrying out logic

time is a body of water innit . some kind of turbulent ocean, always in flux, forever shifting. that's why it must be traversed in a ship (or you risk seasickness – a vortex manipulator is a leaky dinghy?) the current is strong but it is possible to sail again it, theoretically, though not without losses and not without fear.

pond. river. flood.

calm and playful one second and the next there's a storm at sea. oncoming on the horizon

I love your goofy little farm boy denmark so much

thank youuuu 🥰 it's his natural state I think

#hetalia #aph denmark #hws denmark #thank youuu 🙏🥰 #he is the embodyment of the Danish summer holiday time #surrounded by fields of wheat and a white beach just down the “hill” #on a dirt road with small water puddles after yesterday's wash of rain #a small dog running by his feet while he carries a spare tire for his neighbour's broken bike #this is the denmark in my dreams

Artists impression of the way my dog looked at me when I said she couldn't drink from the puddle (dirty) (yucky) in the road (busy) (lots of cars) (she might get hit) because i dont want her to be hit by a car (it would be bad) (or she might contract a disease from the water). Clearly i am in the wrong for denying her such crucial sustenance (she has a bowl of clean water at home) (and dirty water in the garden if she so desires) and I am a cruel and wicked master for not letting her drink dirty road water while being run over.

#her obsession with dirty puddle water is going too far #she'll lap up millimeters deep puddles as long as there's dirt in there #for the record shes fine. just weird.

enough of the horrors. let us speak of that which sparks joy instead (image of tim desperately trying his hardest to bathe krypto, a 70 pound superdog who does not particularly want to be bathed)

#sure kon! tim said. i can dogsit for a weekend while you're off-planet! tim said. #it'll be easy (just putting out food and water and giving him a place to hang out and sleep) because krypto takes care of himself mostly! #it'll be easy!! tim said. #unfortunately gotham is always gloomy and rain plus dirt plus a white dog equals muddy paw prints all over tim's apartment. and a brown dog. #do you see my vision i really want to put tim the fuck through it

when izzy barges in with the unicorns legs while the crew is at each others throats he says something along the lines of “that’s what it gets for not doing it’s fucking job.” and then a few days later (probably??? who tf know how time works not me) he gives lucius the whole shark story and like. he’s so thoroughly convinced that he deserved to have his leg chopped off because he didn’t do his job properly that he comes up with a story to absolve ed of the blame. because he’s 100% convinced that he deserved to be punished.

#i’m going to put this guy in a jar with some dirt and bugs and water and study him for the rest of my fucking life #please don’t discourse on this post i’m just playing with these guys like dolls in my mind #chewing on them putting them in my pocket chucking them across the room tucking them in before bed #izzy hands #ofmd #ofmd spoilers #ofmd s2 #ofmd s2 spoilers
