Deleted scene in Catilina's Riddle: Catilina gets entirely covered in cobwebs in the garden. Poor little meow meow. (Inspired of course by L. Sergiolus' adventures.)

oh REAL. he had them stuck in his whiskers and wouldn't let me take them out :/ for a whole day :/ thankfully one of the princeps' favourite hobbies is Eating Cobwebs though. + i feel like croly's catiline also has some good opportunities for him to become cobwebified (the prison + the tomb) + was there something to do with sempronia and spiders? or am i thinking of ungoliant

aeneid 5.220-1 trans. a.s. kline / aeneid 5.270-83 trans. a.s. kline / footnotes to aeneid 5.270 + 5.273-4, frederick ahl / aeneid 8.668-9 trans. a.s. kline

'what if catilina's ancestor crashed the ship of state into a rock' + and btw he was Stuck On The Rock + catilinarian snake imagery + 'That Catiline’s ancestor wins plaudits (echoed by Aeneas) is baffling [...] unless Virgil’s politics are more radical than anyone suspects' + sometime a ghost is the prominent absence of marcus tullius cicero + what does this mean for catilina himself, also Stuck On A Rock (In The Underworld) on the shield of aeneas in book 8 and yet suspiciously absent from the actual underworld in book 6

#soooooo haunted for catilina to Not Actually Be In The Underworld in book 6??? but he is in a representation of it (imago. hehe) in book 8 #you could squeeze some wacky implications about fate and history and eschatology out of this #aeneid daily #aeneid #horrible horrible catiline. wow!#beeps
