Snape haters: How do people even like Snape?
Also Snape:
“Yes, it is easy to see that nearly six years of magical education have not been wasted on you, Potter. Ghosts are transparent.”
*****
“Would you like me to do it now?” asked Snape, his voice heavy with irony. “Or would you like a few moments to compose an epitaph?”
*****
“I was just showing Harry my grindylow,” said Lupin pleasantly, pointing at the tank.
“Fascinating,” said Snape, without looking at it.
*****
As Harry raised himself into a sitting position, his head still swimming from its last contact with the ground, he saw Snape running as hard as he could, the enormous beast [Buckbeak] flapping behind him and screeching as Harry had never heard him screech —
. . . Snape had managed to Disapparate just beyond the school’s boundaries.
*****
Snape gave her [Umbridge] an ironic bow and turned to leave.
*****
“The mind is a complex and many-layered thing, Potter — or at least, most minds are.” He smirked.
*****
“Potter, when I want nonsense shouted at me I shall give you a Babbling Beverage. And Crabbe, loosen your hold a little, if Longbottom suffocates it will mean a lot of tedious paperwork, and I am afraid I shall have to mention it on your reference if ever you apply for a job.”

i think you said in response to a previous ask that octavian and antony are a Worse version of the brutus and cassius gladiator-statesman dynamic, and that octavian and agrippa are a different thing that wasn't relevant at the moment. i was wondering if you meant that octavian and agrippa are a thing outside the gladiator statesman dynamic (and if so, any ideas on why that is?) or that they were a different version of that dynamic?
also, this is the same anon who asked about using some of your quotes in a presentation! it ended up going pretty well considering most people there weren't unwell about dead romans!
octavian and agrippa are thing outside of that dynamic! this is, ofc, a YMMV type of thing, this is very much getting into creative/thematic nonsense that I like to play with as someone who makes comics
but basically the cut off for the statesman-gladiator/politician-warrior dynamic is philippi. things get hazy leading up to philippi because julius caesar has already eroded a core element to rome's structure, which is that it's made HIM the focus point of politics. there is no longer room for horizontal alliances of power amongst men vying for prestige, there is only room for vertical loyalty (so like, a more extreme version of patronage and bossism politics) (and disloyalty! because you get stabbed if you make people unhappy!! you make your body one with the state and people will let you know what they think of you. and the state.)
Tumblr media
Antony, Fulvia, and the Ghost of Clodius in 47 BC, Kathryn E Welch
so by the time octavian wins, standing on top of everyone else, the general power structure of rome has changed and it's not going back. it looks the same, and people are going 'nooooo it's still a republic, LOOKS like the republic!' while dragging around decayed corpse, but it's different.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Caligula, Aloys Winterling
octavian and agrippa are co regents, with octavian as the clear head of state and agrippa, who is borderline unwell in his devotion to octavian, and somehow it worked for them. like, for them specifically it balanced out into a partnership.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Ancestor Masks and Aristocratic Power in Roman Culture, Harriet I Flower
in theory, this kind of dynamic (with a domestic politician and a general to enact imperialist policy) would be the blue print that would continue down, and boy did they try. tiberius and sejanus. caligula and macro. good grief. the system of relationships and obligations that allowed this kind of dynamic to show up frequently in the republic falls apart here because power corrupts, baby, and with a state assuming a body, there's no way that power is going distribute itself. everyone is going to want to be that body. except agrippa, who was devoted to octavian, but you can't. replicate that kind of intimacy even if you want to.
so it LOOKS like a statesman-gladiator dynamic, but they're really just co regents in practice, but the actual framework is closer to a king and his knight. they are also. incest adjacent. ground zero for the incest circus that happens later? or maybe something else.
basically the logic for that is the way that octavian kept trying to get agrippa into the family tree to make agrippa his heir prompted this kind of. increasingly more insular behavior. AND THIS TOO
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Ancestor Masks and Aristocratic Power in Roman Culture, Harriet I Flower
additionally, I think proximity to octavian-imperial rome dooms a lot of people. agrippa dies before octavian, tiberius' character goes on a definitive downward arc. brother-pairs as rulers, caligula's hellenistic tendencies and the incest allegations with his sisters, the twin-ification of pairs--
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Tiberius and the Heavenly Twins, Edward Champlin
--agrippina and nero. Everything Nero Was Doing With Masks And Theater Sure Was Weird. there's a kind of house dynamic going on with imperial rome, but the whole thing is a mouth eating itself. rot. pater patriae. in a permanent state of digestion. etc/
that last one is a thought I'm work shopping, but basically to me all of this is a worse version of the statesman/gladiator dynamic because of the concentration of power.

damn i had some really good tags on a reblog but tumblr ate it. anyways the gist of it was what if anime episode where the evil old man coworker trio (blaise, manfred and damon) were at manfred's place Discussing Work (drinking copious amounts of "grape juice" and laughing maniacally about their victories for which they Definitely Didn't Cheat) and franziska and miles are supposed to be playing quietly in the corner while the adults are talking but then baby franziska wanders off and the A plot becomes a very exasperated 10yo miles chasing a surprisingly fast and very brave 3yo franziska around the von karma estate, occasionally picking her up and carrying her away from danger until she inevitably escapes again. the B plot is just it occasionally cutting back to the old men and we catch one of them saying something insane but it's halfway through the sentence and we get no context. and then it cuts back to the siblings. one time when it cuts back to the old men, manfred is like "wait where's franziska" and he looks out the window and miles is in the garden holding her. he is very obviously disheveled and covered in scrapes and bruises and there are sticks and leaves lodged in his hair. franziska on the other hand is completely unscathed and in pristine condition. manfred shrugs and is like "eh, she's fine. anyway-"

Me reading through your posts at 2:18 AM for that one time you were really really on and talking about Chuuya (let's be honest, for the unspecified amount of time I've followed you that's happened more than once coughcough) (I say this positively, very positively, do continue whatever it is you do) a while ago because I wanted to send an ask to tell you about how almost every time I hop on here I see you post recently and it's either about Chuuya or the second option or something that leads me to believe you're the type of person to accidentally blow up your microwave at 3:00 AM cause you didn't remove some tin foil packaging or didn't put the water in your instant ramen noodles and it brings the biggest smile to my face for reasons I don't know how to explain with words so here, you can have my emotional soup but anyway I was doing that in the beginning and the site couldn't take the absolute power radiating from one of your posts and so it crashed on my phone three times in the span of three minutes so now I'm here
That's crazy. Have I told you guys about that one time our vice principal chased me around the school because I was skipping classes?

Halved my running increments and lengthened the walking intervals. Tried to emulate the form of the father/daughter(? I hope?) pair who frequently come to the track to run effortless synchronized lap after lap.
Result: Did not feel like I was going to die. Not perfectly easy, but didn't feel beyond my capabilities. No apparent significant increase in already existing pain. Absolutely pathetic? Yes. But I'm a beginner and I have to start somewhere. The plan is to stick to this until it's perfected and then and only then kick it up a notch.
Also: dude who was running clockwise in my lane (of course) while everyone else was going counterclockwise...maybe don't do that? Yikes.

objectively star wars has always been a little trashy!! that’s part of what makes it so loveable imo like sure it doesn’t make sense that leia would be able to outrun a group of grown men or that obi would come out of the water completely dry, but those little inconsistencies have riddled sw movies for years. i saw someone complain about how bad the storm troopers aim was. that’s literally their whole bit!! have you not been paying attention?

So in the tradition of the Church St. John the Evangelist is considered to be the youngest apostle og Jesus and I ABSOLUTELY AGREE!!! Why you may ask? It's this verse right here.
John 20:4 "Both of them were running together, but the other disciple outran Peter and reached the tomb first."
Tell me that this is not youngest sibling behavior! Look me in the eye and tell me that telling everyone that you hve outdone your older sibling in something is not youngest sibling behavior!

I'm gonna say it
The fastest (pun intended) way to spot a shitty volt isn't "They keep spamming speed and it's annoying me :("
It's "Volt is sitting at the exit while 1 or more players are miles from the extraction instead of speeding them up"
Like, good job, dumbass.
You sped up 2 of the 4 players and now we get to sit here twiddling our thumbs waiting because you're a shitty volt who couldn't speed up the slow player.
Glad you're having fun "going fast" by waiting and doing nothing.
