#roman took over

[same-picture-of-a-rock-every-day]

That rock deserves a solid boop.

The Rock has been thoroughly bapped, my goodness.

#i need yall to understand i have NEVER made a gif before today #to make the second one i took a random video of a cat #i put the rock over it in one webbed site #used imove to cut and repeat the bapping #and then used NOTHER website to convert it into a gif #slapstick at best but took me under 10 mintues and im kind of proud of that even if it is shit quality #not a rock #april boops #boop #rock mod lore #love yall for this btw u broke my boop meter within an hour #gotta run to my gender and sex in roman times class now wish me luck i love college

so. my laptop is Deceased, which means I don’t have half of my pdf library (because I wasn’t able to back it all up yet. weeping and wailing), and THAT means that I have a much smaller pool of texts to work off with and cite, so. this is a much more direct glimpse into my thoughts when I’m reading ancient sources and don’t have the poetry of scholars to direct my imagination

anyway, the tris homines alliance is also an informal club for people that had weird but formative relationships with sulla. like. a real Make Them Worse situation happened there. crassus becomes someone who is half shadowy rumor behind every dealing in the eyes of others, pompey and caesar drag rome back into civil war, sulla says that caesar resembles marius but it’s sulla’s playbook that caesar later runs. everyone dies in places where they do not expect to die.

Background Roman & Gerri | S03E01

#Gerri Kellman #Roman Roy #I love all their background moments just the two of them! <3 <3 <3 #He must have been on TOP of the world before Italy. #The smitten besotted apprentice who got to have her almost all to himself #while still soaking up knowledge and skill and all the goodness of her experience #and basking in her protection #How her approval must have made his heart soar and his senses sharp and his smile blinding! #Wow. At the very top of the world right before it all came crashing down with pic gate and then Logan dying #I bet if this wasn't a show and we could read an internal monologue we'd read #about how he was utterly blindsided when he fired her in 406. #I mean he immediately took it back and asked Kendall to smooth it over #and yet... and yet! He got the BEST ending out of them all besides her. And they WILL get their happy ending. #Succession #my gifs #Background Roman & Gerri

My thoughts on the Stoic Seneca and on taking showers

#my art #my poem #poetry #latin #poem #original poem #seneca #stoicism #roman empire #roman history #latin prose #lucilius #ok so.. imo this is not the best poem I’ve written but it illustrates how I’ve been feeling for the past couple of months #I feel angry at myself and depressed and envious and all the things this roman asshole hates and I’m so ashamed #my therapist says not to view my feelings as a weakness and I’m trying so hard but it doesn’t work and so I had to write this #my latin career is almost over this is the last semester I’m taking latin and so it kinda feels like I’m breaking a part of myself off #I felt the same way senior year of highschool when I took my last art class #like.. I’ve been taking latin since I was 14 and I’ll be 19 in a couple of months #I think the hardest part of college is picking your priorities and when your depressed you can barely prioritize bathing yourself #and you are alone in your decisions. #I feel like I’m giving up now that I’ve decided to stop taking latin but I just have other priorities #so I think this poem is an odd to that part of myself #*ode to that part of myself godtdamn autocorrect

So, I've been dropping hints about OCs I've been obsessing over lately that I haven't properly introduced yet and I can't figure out who to introduce first, so... I figured, in my indecisiveness, I'd finally use the poll feature and let YOU decide, my lovely followers! And these intros come with a special treat, because, on top of the usual moodboard-playlist-combo, I made manips (or, in one case, a gif) for them!

Anyways, without further ado:

#yes movie!kit deserves a seperate intro from show!kit #it's a very different character actually #k'rala is a huge sweetheart you'll love them #an icon who thinks the gender binary is illogical #iris is an agent of chaos but also a sweetheart - everyone loves her #if anything were to happen to her (it does) the whole camp would go feral #especially charles #varsha took one look at hyde detransforming into jekyll and decided #that's my poor little meow meow and i will protect him with every fibre of my body #philomel's main motif is that she's usually in-between crowley and aziraphale in shots #which should tell you a few things about her and their dynamic #also she posed as the goddess venus during roman times #and she may have been involved with sappho and/or ovidius but you can't prove it #anyway tag rambles over #the a team 2010 #oc: movie!kit #star trek #tng #oc: k'rala #star trek oc #m*a*s*h #m*a*s*h oc #iris winchester #the league of extraordinary gentlemen #lxg oc #varsha devi #good omens #good omens oc #philomel

into my coffee cup it bled

much like joy, I said

#2 minute haiku based on the picture of me carrying hot coffee in the pouring rain #ciara’s convos #ciara’s haikus #and as always to over explain the haiku number is 2 and then 1000 which is the Roman numeral M and therefore it’s 2M as in 2 mins #cause that’s how long it took me to spit this one out hehehe #bad poetry #dilettante and disaster and me

#anaroceit #anaroceitweek2022 #virgil sanders #roman sanders #janus sanders #now for the part where i admit some shit #like this was finished less than 10 minutes from posting #anyways they're escaping the court life to have a picnic in the gardens #they stole wine and also my hear #this took so fucking long istg #i was supposed to be asleep like. 4 hours ago. #anyways god i love their designs so much:) i think they're pretty:) #also if you notice any mistakes no you don't please #also im explaining the dynamics here. Roman is the King due to being the sun but Janus and Virgil are his consorts #and also his royal advisor's/defense #Janus is the main advisor and confidant. but due to the magic incident which gave him the whole swirls thing #he's not seen as compentent so he's now basically roman's pretty boy and Also main advisor/magician that part's just secret #virgil is an ex solider/high ranking military official and Is Roman's main royal guard #people don't really see him as a threat because he's short as hell but there's muscle hidden there. #he's also an advisor over the more like #militaristic aspects #Roman's already very good at his job but he wants outside perspective and a lot of his advisors are old fuddy duddies #anyways hope you like them:)

8 shows to get to know me. tagged by @thehitchikerdude :)

supernatural 😔 (self explanatory) (gave me brainworms at 13 AND at 20)

please like me. i legitimately watch this like once a year and sob through the last 2 episodes every time.

black sails. show of all time. a story is true a story is untrue. wough 😵‍💫 have never been able to fully rewatch this show

the oa. watched this in april 2020 and SOBBED for 2 straight hours after finishing the second season because it was cancelled. its SO good and SO sexy (the house in s2 that eats people. my god....) and SO beautiful. forever mad it got cancelled because the cliffhanger makes me so crazy (i simply love when actors play themselves in things). jason isaacs

murdoch mysteries. well this show is not good (and is somehow still running) but i was Obsessed with it in middle/high school which has to count for something

dispatches from elsewhere. this show made me so crazy i genuinely believed the characters were going to walk out of my television screen and into real life. v funny and v heartfelt and also richard e grant is there to monologue at the camera

taskmaster. its fun! i love watching comedians fail to do tasks. shoutout to the guy on youtube who's uploading the new seasons :) also the new zealand and australian versions are v good

halt and catch fire. i watched this while i was quarantining in a hotel for 2 weeks and joe macmillan is the character of all time. keot yelling HE'S A PERSON at my laptop screen because he's real to me

tagging @taros @liapher @bettysweep @blacksails2014 + @werewolfcafe ❣️

#um. realizing a lot of these are pandemic watches. but i don't really watch that much tv and they're the ones i think about a lot. #murdoch mysteries would not recommend but truly. julia/murdoch slowburn of all time. EYE remember when they couldn't be together bc she was #married to that doctor. EYE was there when he said they could get a divorce and then was like nevermind i don't want that actually. EYE was #there when the doctor husband got murdered and everyone thought it was murdoch. EYE remember murdoch was discriminated against for being #roman catholic and not protestant. EYE was there for the republic of doyle/murdoch mysteries crossover event. and when arthur conan doyle #was there and wrote a sherlock holmes story about murdoch. truly stupid show #isabel.txt #honourable mentions to alias grace (the best canadian tv show ever made. sarah gadon was so incredible in it and everyone should watch it) #and the exorcist which took over my life for 6 months in 2017-2018 even though it scares me so so bad. rip ben daniels i've watched some #truly terrible things because you were in them

[absentmoon]

hiiii i just started reading the WROYS series a few days ago (already on pt5) and i love it so much!! you’ve captured roman’s voice so well and im so impressed how you’ve been able to weave such an extensive and comprehensive narrative. i also (probably projecting a bit) hc roman as having ADHD and i really appreciate your depiction of it. my favorite chapter so far has been with tabitha, i’d love to hear any more thoughts you have about the two of them!

Hi!! tysm for reading and im glad you're enjoying it!

i think roman asked tabitha out mostly or solely bc he thought it was funny. i don’t think roman has a type or a concept of who would be a good partner for him. i think he picks someone who’s physically plausible (ie logan would think shes fuckable) and maybe will laugh at his jokes and not ask too much of him emotionally. but then tabitha is like. so oddly well suited to him! like she doesn’t care if the sex is weird and she thinks hes interesting and shes not fazed by his family weirdness and they can talk shit about people together. and i think hes rlly awed by her bc shes so free and unbothered and yet in touch with human feelings.

unfortunately i think thats exactly why her and roman cant make it work. he cant accept care or understanding or nonjudgment, and he’ll always feel disconnected from someone who is comfortable with herself and knows what she wants and asks questions like “do you really think thats how to make people stay?” he can only accept someone being interested in him if its wrapped in the brutal logics of his father or comes through his position at waystar (edouard and mencken and matsson wouldnt even look at him if he werent in an influential position via a vis his father, gerri combines her belief in him with corporate logic and also degradation that reminds him of his father)

i think tabitha would 100% catch on to the food issues and try to gently help him, or at least get him to talk about it bc i don’t think she has much tolerance for secrets. which would also become intolerable to roman. 

i could see roman trying the old “degrade me with no aftercare to reinforce my self-loathing” thing with tabs, and her not going for it. i could also see him never even attempting it either bc gerri already has it covered or bc he senses she would feel sad for him. in general, i think his approach to relationships involves a large degree of trying to get his partner to admit to being disgusted by him/his body, and goading or prodding or trying to sus out those signs of disgust. and i dont think tabitha would play ball with that. 

ty for the ask! :-)

#took me a second to roll this one over in my head but here we are! #i know a lot of people have done their take on roman trying to do kinky shit with tabs #but maybe ill throw my hat into that ring at some point #romtabs
