marcus licinius crassus & his sons

hey do you guys ever think about how crassus' father and brothers died, leaving him the surviving son, and then the tragedy repeats with marcus jr (with his father and brother dying at carrhae)

anyway, tfw you tell your brother not to do reckless shit when you're not around, and he immediately goes off and does All Of That the second he arrives in gaul. what do you MEAN there was a hostage crisis. what the fuck.

#marcus licinius crassus #uh. both of them #publius licinius crassus #roman republic tag #drawing tag #i feel so so so so normal about the family crassus. SO NORMAL. im not wailing about them at all #(you ever think about how marcus licinius crassus frugi married a descendant of pompey. that makes me feel WILD) #my favorite scene ive written in the cassius comic right after the gladiator one #is the one where marcus jr tells cassius to get out of his house and he just. screams. #there is nothing more opressive than the weight of an empty house. the realization that you're alone. #i did in fact realize after writing this short dialogue that i was. borrowing. from dean supernatural's 'as long as i'm around #nothing bad is gonna happen to you' speech from 1.14. a little bit. i can HEAR it. #which is. yeah okay. listen. i was watching that show in 2008-9. ofc it was going to do something to my brain #however. publius crassus is fully capable of committing whatever crimes he needs to commit. in my heart tho he's Baby Brother
