I was rewatching Fate Extra Last Encore and I just had to draw Nero. She has so much charisma, energy, and positivity, (not to mention her attacks and Noble Phantasm are just beautiful). She’s by far my favorite Fate character. Enjoy!

at first i was heartily annoyed with assassin's creed brotherhood's erroneous claim that agrippa completed the pantheon in 126 (he would not have been able to do that on account of He Was Not Alive Anymore) but now im kind of obsessed with it. imagine. hadrian raising agrippa from the dead by using the original facade inscription. restoration as a form of necromancy. you cannot die if the city will not let you.

The Ballad of Cersei Lannister
Woah-oh-oh-oh, oh, oh! Down on your knees before the Queen! Woah-oh-oh-oh, oh, oh! Down on your knees before the Queen!
Cersei Lannis was a popular bitch Hot bod, hot bro, cheer captain, plus she was rich That girl had everything till hiccup and hitch: Ellie Martell lost a leg in a wreck (Amputated!)
The nominations for Prom royalty came Our Cersei’s senior year and Queen was her claim Till gossip stirred the student body would name Ellie Martell Queen of the Prom (Pity vote!)
“Cersei,” her father said, “Life is a prom I know you won’t disappoint me and Mom...”
You taste the gold now, Cersei! You taste the crown! You thirst for blood from the roses in hand You spoil for sash and scepter, music to dance As they crown you queen of High School Land
(Check Cersei, choose Cersei, vote for Cersei Lannis-)
(-ter, Cersei, choose Cersei, vote for Cersei Lannis-)
So obsessed our Cersei near lost her mind To life un-prom-related Cersei was blind She shoved her squad, her clique, her boyfriend behind - Still Ellie had a hold on the lead (Poor, poor Ellie)
Soon Cersei’s sanity was hung by a thread Her BFFs proclaimed her socially dead Till then at last her boyfriend texted and said: “I’m taking Ellie to the senior prom” (Love, love, Ellie)
“Cersei,” her father said, “Why be so calm? There’s just no future for a princess at prom.”
You taste the gold now, Cersei! You taste the crown! You thirst for blood from the roses in hand You spoil for sash and scepter, music to dance As they crown you queen of High School Land 
Woah-oh-oh-oh, oh, oh! Down on your knees before the Queen! Woah-oh-oh-oh, oh, oh! Down on your knees before the Queen!
Some girls are rational but Cersei was not She stared in mirrors thinking one single thought: (Ellie) There’s seven reasons this crown’s not good as got (Jeyne, Selyse, Lysa, and Lyanna) And so the night of prom, mercy! (Delena, Melara) Thus went her plot:
P is for Delena drinking poisoned punch R is for Lysa dashed on a rock - crunch! “O” is what Jeyne said when Cersei bludgeoned her brains And M is for Lyanna’s marinated remains
But! But!
Q is for Melara, quiet, drowned in the well And U is for Selyse’s pieces, sent to the Hells But Es are for the easy way in five minutes tops A one-legged girl can bring an N for end by calling the cops (What a bitch)
You got your gold now, Cersei, you got your crown You got your blood on the roses in hand You donned the sash and scepter, doing a dance As you crowned you queen of High School Land!
Woah-oh-oh-oh, oh, oh! (God save the Queen) Down on your knees before the queen (God save the Queen!) Woah-oh-oh-oh, oh, oh! Down on your knees before the (oh! the queen of High School Land!)
They wrapped your wrists in silver, they took your crown They washed the blood from each finger and hand Into a tight straitjacket Small padded cell Screaming “I’m the queen of High School Land!”
At least in your head, you’re queen of High School Land!
Oh pity the dead, you’re queen of High School Land!
(Check Cersei, choose Cersei, vote for Cersei Lannis-)
(-ter, Cersei, choose Cersei, vote for Cersei Lannis-)

In 2009, archaeologists unearthed the remains of Nero’s 2,000-year-old revolving dining room. Vividly described by ancient historian Suetonius, this was a ground-breaking discovery which revealed the emperor’s passion not only for pomp and display, but also for science and technology.
Amidst controversies, including the Great Fire of Rome, Nero's legacy remains intertwined with early Christian persecution and his cruel behavior. Nevertheless, this mechanical marvel of his revolving dining room, as well as the opulence of his Golden Palace, underscore Nero's multifaceted legacy, adding a new dimension to our understanding of this complex figure in Roman history.

Nero's bath, commissioned by the emperor during his reign between 54 - 68, was located in the Domus Aurea. It is made of porphyry marble, the finest in the world. With a weight of several tons, it is one of the most valuable pieces in the Vatican Museums.

Glass mosaic panel. Roman mid-1st century CE. x
Since this revetment panel with its colorful floral design is said to have been found on the Palatine in Rome, it may have formed part of the interior decoration of one of the imperial palaces, perhaps even the Domus Aurea (Golden House) of the emperor Nero (r. A.D. 54–68).

kaja & łempicka!
good evening :)
kaja: show us your favourite poster (for anything)!
unfortunately I happen to be a bit of a graphic art/poster fiend, as such, choosing the best one I know is an impossible task. so, let me show you the one poster I own physically, the problematic fave:
Tumblr media
it's a soviet propaganda poster from 1945 or 1946, intended to glorify and legitimise the shifting of Polish borders from the east to the west and the displacement that went with it. Krzywousty, the phantom king in the background who sets the soldier's path, was known to have given Poland access to the sea by conquering north-western lands: the same lands that the USSR was trying to integrate into Polish borders at the expense of eastern territories. I just really appreciate how blatant and well-made the propaganda is - it served a terrible purpose, arguably, but it's just such a well-made poster.
łempicka: if you were to plan and execute an art exhibition (and had unlimited funds and connections etc), what would be the theme and what pieces would you exhibit?
I've had this idea for an exhibition that would explore the early renaissance and the re-discovery (or reanalysis) of ancient art, architecture and thought as a story of a post-apocalypse. I think I'd like to emphasise the architectural and typographical aspect. the exhibition would frame ancient rome as an alien culture: it was once resplendent but now, grand arches are reduced to marble ribcages picked clean by crows, right, and then, humanists start conjuring up this dead world, trying to resurrect and remake it, copying whatever mutilated artworks they dug out of the ground. the exhibition would probably conclude with the art of (and based on) the unearthed Domus Aurea, when suddenly the dead world was found still full of colour under the feet of the new one. and I want texts and poems from the era tied to quotes from contemporary media about the post-apocalypse
