they are literally brothers that's his little brother man!!!!!! you don't get it!!!!!!

#long post #ok is this proof that connor likes kendall the most? no i guess #obviously this is being selective but i'm telling you watch all of those scenes and you will know what i mean #obviously he loves shiv and rome as well but the fact that kendall not only got the least votes but SO MUCH LESS than the other two #like no.. you guys don't get it he loves him :( that's his little bro! #also these are not all of them i could only fit 30 images. more in the reblog #obviously he loves shiv and rome but also shiv is like very very mean to him 99% of the time lmao. and roman's nicer than shiv #maybe but still not very nice. he still loves their ungrateful asses! but you can def see him being warmest towards kendall #in the way they just interact with each other idk. always hugging always patting him ... that's his little bro! #mostly i'm just mad over ppl so unanimously deciding it's not kendall . none of you get it >:( #connor roy #kendall roy #roy siblings

For the Laicion nation (aka, me and three other people)

I had this illustration commissioned (a big thank you to @lunehowls) for my werewolf AU Laicion fic (still a WIP).

The general pitch is as follows :

AU in which Laios never got to meet his sister again, putting his life on a whole other path, a more desperate one. A military deserter with barely a coin to his name, Laios hitches a ride on a boat to one of the elven continents, where he learns about magical tattoos that binds one’s soul to a wolf’s, effectively making them artificial werewolves. Illegal magic be damned, this feels like the answer to… everything.

In the process, he learns about the existence of an illegal fighting ring in one of the elven cities, where beastmen gladiators gather. Freshly tattooed and without anywhere else to go to, Laios decides to head there, where he meets Lycion, an elf and artificial werewolf gladiator. If they first bond over a simple shared meal, by spending time together (sharing the same room in the barracks, maybe the same bed? gasp) they find that they have a lot in common, notably a shared distaste for the body they were born in, a dysphoria partially remedied by becoming a werewolf.

They bond :)

#dungeon meshi #laios touden #lycion #laicion #I'm heads deep in research regarding Ancient Rome gladiators... and loving it. Really fascinating stuff. #I bemoan the fact that most papers are locked behind a paywall (though I found one that gives a free pdf access) #(and no. Sci-hub is not an option. It's blocked in my country) #I'm also re-reading DunMeshi and taking notes to get a better grasp of Laios and Lycion as characters. Character studies if you will #and I still need to fully outline the fic #I know where I'm starting (struggling to choose a POV for that first chapter LOL) and where I'm ending so there's that #and a bunch of disconnected scenes (as we all do ahaha) #anyway. Doing all of this while studying for veterinary school. It's hard. I feel guilty whenever I'm not studying... #let's just say I don't expect the prep work for the fic to be ready before this summer (+ I need to finish the Kuro cosplay for Japan Expo) #hopefully; once it's done; I'll be able to set a schedule and write smoothly #werewolf #werewolf laios #rarepair

It’s a little bit ‘I was the match and you were the rock, maybe we started this fire/We sat apart and watched all we had burn on the pyre,’ and ‘Do you understand that we will never be the same again?’ from Bastille’s The Things We Lost In The Fire

and a little bit:

‘A l’instar de son aîné, Caius Antonius sait se montrer délicieux. Il est cultivé, intelligent, plein d’esprit, gracieux, amiable. Surtout, il appartient à la même génération que Brutus, au même milieu. Depuis le départ de Cassius pour l’Orient, il y à quatre mois, Marcus a vécu avec des hommes dont il pourrait être le père, ou avec les soldats, des bas officiers plus âgés mais qui ne sont pas de son monde.’

and also

‘En juin, Cassius a enlevé Laodicée et définitivement défait les forces de Dolabella. Jugeant les autres à sq propre mesur, le beau Publius Cornelius s'est souvenu de ce qu'il avait fait subir à Trebonius…Cassius passant pour un homme violent et rancunier, pour un ami fidèle aussi, Dolabella s'est dit qu'il allait payer la mort horrible de l'ancien gouverneur.’

Brutus: Assassin par idéal, Anne Berner

actually it’s mostly about how my entire playlist for the road leading up to Philippi (after both Brutus and Cassius leave Rome after the assassination of Caesar) is Bastille’s Bad Blood album on repeat. I want their relationship to get messy. There’s another version of this scene that gets a lot more teeth to the subtext of the conversation, but I wanted to play around with it first before committing to like. room layouts. there was originally a couple of transitional panels before the last 2 because I wanted Brutus to really chew on this thought he has, but augh. stairs. didn’t feel like drawing those.

#that Brutus bio is not good but it IS very fun if he’s like. your favorite blorbo. if HBO Rome’s wet cat of a Brutus is your man #then this is the book for you #roman republic tag #komiks tag #drawing tag #marcus junius brutus #gaius cassius longinus #The real reason I did this is bc I wanted to scribble some architecture. I need. To treat the setting like a character #but my god do I hate drawing columns #also I think half breakups can be the height of romance. where are my fellow fans of the heirs. you know the break up scene #I’m thinking about. It’s been over ten years and I’m still thinking about them. Love teams want the hold that those two #had on me fr #they do kiss and make up about it later but it’s kind of tragic for Cassius

Cameo depicting the emperor Claudius and probably his wife Messalina on a chariot drawn by snakes. Dated around 45AD.

Audrey Hepburn and her good friend, French designer Hubert de Givenchy, on the set of Funny Face in 1956

[Hubert] had a reassuring, gentle and father-like manner which was so enjoyed by his staff, his friends and his family. Over 30 years he developed a close and platonic friendship with Audrey Hepburn, dressing her in public and private, helping her with her charities and offering tender care when she was dying of cancer. He sent a private plane to fly her back from America so that she could spend her final days at her home in Switzerland, surrounded by little posies of sweet-smelling lily of the valley—her favourite flowers that he always sent to her.

i think making roman's last scene solely about rg is reductive and the takes calling it heteronormative are so funny i'm sorry i'm SORRY but to me it read as, like. the martini equals gerri equals logan equals everything that waystar entails. he's sharing a drink with an imaginary gerri he's sitting with his father's ghost he's tentatively placing a paw outside the cage and laying the last year or so of bullshit to rest.

#like it's bittersweet and i think if there was a s5 rome would be back in within the first ep. #but that's the beauty of it being his last scene. you are now free to think whatever the fuck you want #he's sucking gerri's strap he's riding mencken's dick he's doing a maureen ponderosa and transitioning into a cat. whatever man #succession spoilers #roman roy

Artemis, who has not spent millennia upholding a strict vow of chastity to be slandered with this bullshit: *squawks indignantly while her huntresses desperately hold her back from throwing hands with a random mortal teenager*

i mean we all know rome actually blames himself for logan’s death right. like he’s projecting onto matsson but is very clearly terrified his phone call was the thing that killed dad. his anger at matsson for trying to make dad-death related power plays is very genuine and real but i don’t think deep down he blames matsson — rome saying matsson killed logan is like rome saying he’s ‘pre-grieved’ imo. it’s a way of coping and attempting to ignore and shut out the surplus of emotions roiling underneath. because sure, matsson didn’t help the situation. but roman, roman dealt the killing blow. maybe matsson got logan onto the plane, but roman got logan onto the stretcher, and no one is more painfully aware of that than roman himself

#like idk been seeing stuff ab rome blaming matsson for the death but it felt sooo #like #OH MY GOD #THATS IT #JIMMY #JIMMY WITH HOWARD ANOUT CHUCK #okay bye need to go find that scene now #succession #succession spoilers #roman roy #lukas matsson #100

seems I need to clarify but, yes, I know what Riordan intended to say or do within scene x, y, or z and I know what Riordan intended to achieve with certain plot points, my interpretations are born from how badly he executed it all. hope that helps!

#im not missing the point I promise you dont have to keep coming into my inbox to try and clarify Riordan's intention #I know what he was trying to do #it was just bad lmao #I understand that RR intends New Rome to be a /safe haven/ #I can also read into his accidental subtext to know its NOT #I understand that RR was trying to write a bonding moment between Jason and percy in boo #and that Jason was sympathizing with percy in the momet #however the scene was executed so terribly it reads like Jason was just agreeing with percy's worst thoughts lmao

spartacus and crassus :)

this is actually a rejected panel from a much longer comic I’ve been fucking around with on and off for awhile- I had plans to do a long form spartacus comic for a long time, I just keep missing the last book on my research list in second hand stores 😔 I always have money when the last copy sells out aughhh

anyway! I might call crassus my girl in the group chat, but I’ve actually spent more years wishing that spartacus got to run crassus through on his sword and then read the fate of rome out of his entrails. ALAS. on that note, isn’t it kind of interesting how spartacus’ funeral games for crixus turn roman order upside down and feel like both a foundational sacrifice and a curse? isn’t it kind of fun how crassus will not die in rome, and neither will pompey, who came in like a vulture to take credit for crassus’ work? (it’s VERY fun)

Plutarch, Crassus

#Spartacus and Crassus have a very specific kind of narrative foil dynamic with each other that I find extremely compelling #Team spartacus bc I love to see rome eat itself like the horrible machine of violence that it is #and then cower in the face of what it created #That one doc that dramatized the starting spark was spartacus not being able to turn away from a Roman soldier #raping another gladiator. That’s what it all comes down to. Christ #Team crassus when the cast is just Romans because oh you are weird. Crassus you are so fucking weird. What is happening there. #BLAH anyway. panel rejected bc the scene needed to be bigger. grander. more bodies on the ground #Spartacus still get to call him a dog tho. Tahol Crassus! Tahol!!! #usually I have more to cite. Like. Most of my gladiator stuff is backed up on a flash drive! but guess what is not compatible with #An iPad. My flash drives. Bc I literally only use this for drawing work 🥲 also reading/researching on a screen like this is hell #spartacus #marcus licinius crassus #spartacus tag
