seeing other people vote for the roman mysteries in that childhood poll has made me nostalgic. Lots to unpack about the depiction of race in the series but for now vote for your favourite plot point
Like many people I am a fan of Ghost’s song Mary On A Cross. Unlike most people, this is partially because the beginning of the song sounds very similar to the theme tune for The Roman Mysteries.
Warnings: Biting, Marking, Legs shaking, begging, hair gripping, cum stuffing, crying, screaming, being used as a toy (I think there’s more but let me know)
“I love you” he says as he leaves kisses and bites in his wake. He says as he leaves you begging for his lips on yours.
“I love you” he says as he eats you out with no intention of letting you leave his house until next week.
“I love you” he says as he pounds from behind. Playing with your clit and gripping your hair.
“I love you” he says as he bounces you up and down to make sure every inch of him is the only thing you feel.
“I love you” he says as he stuffs you to the brim with his cum alone. He says as he treats you like his personal toy.
“I love you” he says as he continues to leave you crying and screaming like the good little slut you are for him and him alone.
“I love you from the next universe to here, my darling girl let me be the only thing you think of. Let me be the thing that fills your mind when you’re stressed. Let me be the timeless loop that plays over and over with each breath you take. Let me be your desired, your want, your need, your everything and in return you shall be mine.”
Sweet is the pleasure the god brings us in the mountains, when from the running revelers, he falls to the ground clad in his sacred fawnskin. […] Hail to the Roaring God, Bromios our leader! Euoi! The ground flows with milk, flows with wine, flows with the nectar of bees. —Euripides, Bacchae
The Villa of the Mysteries! I had to go out of my way for this, missing most of the Pompeii tour, but it was completely worth it! These paintings depict a Dionysian initiation rite, and there are some other remarkable paintings in the rest of the house. I was not expecting to see syncretic Egyptian ones!
I also met another a Dionysian irl! The owner of the nearby restaurant turned out to be a shaman to whom Bacchus speaks. He was thrilled to meet someone else who understood that Bacchus isn’t just a god of wine.
