#incestuous relationship

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

"This, dear sister, is a gift for you like no other" "For me?"

#the whole thing was such an adorable mess help i'm gonna sob #here we have juan arriving from spain trying to win lucrezia's affections back after he killed paolo without thinking it through #because he firmly believed that he did the right thing and that he protected his sister's honor but didn't realize she would hate him rip #not to mention that he was consumed with jealousy since he has incestuous feelings for her so he acted impulsively to kill paolo #and now he is gifting her a rare panther to mend their relationship lol you can see how much juan loves lucrezia but he's too frustrated #the shock of lucrezia actually standing up and trying to kill him had a huge effect as well #anyway juan loves his family so much and wanted to feel included but he was misguided and none of them gave him a break #juan borgia #lucrezia borgia #the borgias #theborgiasedit #david oakes #holliday grainger #periodedits #perioddramaedit #tvedit #weloveperioddrama #cinemapix #juan x lucrezia #by jen

Anyway Matt Smith and Milly Alcock didn't have to go all the way with this sexual tension but my bi ass is very glad they did

#i hate grrm so much for making me like incestuous relationships #but i do and i love them and i love this fucked family #MUTUALS WHO WATCH THE SHOW PLEASE MESSAGE ME #I NEED TO TALK ABOUT IT #hotd spoilers #house of the dragon #rhaenyra x daemon #rhaenyra targaryen #daemon targaryen #matt smith #milly alcock

the reason the darkling thinks alina will be capable of forgiving him for everything he does to her with just a little time is because he has spent centuries forgiving his mother for her abuse of him simply because the alternative is eternal loneliness. he is always always mimicking his relationship with his mother in his relationship with alina.

#shadow and bone #sab #grishaverse #aleksander morozova #the darkling #alina starkov #baghra morozova #darklina #myramblings #literally the only real relationship he knows is the one with his abusive incestuous mom #it fucking sucks ngl #abuse mention tw

This was the hardest test I have ever taken. And, at some point, I've had to learn how to drive.

And here are the results:

Tagging a few people I follow to spread this. (If it's not your thing, feel free to ignore; but if you do it, please share!) @magicalpotatolover @distortionposting @completely-real-and-normal-human

#fic sorter #fic sorter (sicko edition) #fic tropes #quiz #test #fandom #fandom (any) #pity there were no A/B/O tropes #no scenting‚ no rut/oestrus‚ no mpreg‚ no claiming #when it pitted homoerotic cannibalism against incestuous relationships my head exploded

The thing about trent ikithon is that he's not just their boss or their mentor. In a pretty real way, he is their father—linguistically, caleb calls the other volstrucker his brothers and sisters, present tense, trent calls their dinner a family reunion, he talks about being proud of caleb and hurt by having to hurt him like he is reconciling a wayward son. But they were also literally taken from their families, stripped of those connections, made into dependent wards of the state, with one man to raise them and give them their livelihoods and their discipline and their home. The whole bren/astrid/eadwulf story is so uncomfortable and fraught with the understanding that they love each other, but they have also been forced to seek support and affection and love in the only connections they are allowed to have, with the only people they know will understand. Like astrid is so clearly in a cycle of abuse, she resents trent but she stays and she can only imagine overcoming it by being stronger than him. It's almost a king lear story, a succession story, it's about generational trauma. Leaving the fold is not just leaving a career it is abandoning your family.

#the desperation for his approval. im so sick #sorry for making this about king lear somehow #i don't mean the literal play so much as its many many afterlives but i think u could do something interesting #reading Caleb's backstory through that lens. of generational trauma and the strange incestuous one person has to be every relationship me #bc im not allowed to have anyone else #thing that's going on. maybe some day #use my English degree for evil #lena watches cr #critical role #caleb widogast #blumendrei #meta
