listen. listen, there's a kind of intimacy in having a dedicated rivalry, okay. who else is going to know you like this!!! also it's funny

Ascanio Maria Sforza: la parabola politica di un cardinale-principe del Rinascimento, Marco Pellegrini

Julius II: The Warrior Pope, Christine Shaw

and on della rovere’s soldier comment:

Popes, Cardinals and War: The Military Church in Renaissance and Early Modern Europe, D.S. Chambers

and finally! regarding the delightful Mess of political-family relationships, including the marriage comment (altho the montefeltro family that giovanni married into did have sforza family ties, since giovanna's mother was battista sforza, but this is about the more immediate alliance based relationship and della rovere's hand in the rejection of a milanese match for his brother. and. this is not even remotely a serious comic, but now I am once again thinking about insular all these families are. the fucking medicis are here too, if you go half a step to the left on della rovere's family tree)

Julius II: The Warrior Pope, Christine Shaw

Giulio II, Il papa del Rinascimento, Giulio Busi (Bianca Maria Visconti is Ascanio's mom. btw)

panel inserts of the cards they're playing with are all from the Visconti-Sforza tarot deck! (I used public domain scans/photos for the comic itself)

In the autumn of his blood, he will siphon your hurt to a child dying of thirst; the only inheritance of worth in the village of your synapses. But—for now—he’s still your boy. Sweet little wreck. Check the room you’ve locked him in. Insomiac, Saeed Jones

He can't handle this alone. He needs his calm, collected Doctor, no matter how badly Lawrence has treated him.

I just got emotionally devastated by this book and am in the process of being emotionally devastated by the second

[rowyndodendron]

The whole dynamic between Zeus and Achilles in the Iliad and the almost "monkey's paw" nature of Achilles asking for honour and to make the Greeks/Agamemnon admit they need him (which, yeh, bit of a dick move there, Achy, but tbh i get u)

Bc Zeus was then like "sure I can do that....but HIDDEN IN THE TINY SMALL PRINT Ts & Cs IS THE HIDDEN PRICE IT'S GONNA COST YOU. WHICH IS: E V E R Y T H I N G."

Homer called homeboy Zeus up and said "hey i want to write this epic poem with the moral being that the glory won in war isn't worth the death of your closest friends, could u maybe help contribute to that idea a bit?"

Then Zeus went "i got u"

And proceeded to go HARDER THAN ANYONE HAS EVER GONE IN HAMMERING HOME A THEME.

BRO DID NOT HAVE TO GO THAT HARD!!!! WE GOT IT, WE GET IT: STOOOPPPP!!!!!!!!!!

Impure Jake thought at the moment (NSFW 18+! below cut)

CHIN TATTOO

imagine you having a chin tattoo (I'm talking about the ones that are under your chin, above your throat), being the ✨vaginatarian✨ that he is, Jake would absolutely go feral every time he sees it

imagine him having his face buried between your thigh, lapping you up so good that you couldn't help squirming around, so he has to pin you down by holding onto your thigh and your pelvis bone, his grip strong, firm, inescapable albeit reassuring

the pleasure so intense that your eyes roll back and you throw your head back, your back arches, and your chin lifted up, showing the tattoo

imagine him seeing the tattoo while he looks up at you, just the look of it snaps a string in his brain and sends a rush down his spine, he hips presses harder down onto the mattress and his tongue involuntarily thrusts a little deeper, pushing you right over the edge---

OR

imagine when you are riding him; similarly, he sees it when you tilt your head back, exposing your chin and neck,

imagine him taking one look at you , instantly his fingers digs into your hips harder, definitely leaving bruises (which will be affectionately kissed better by him later), and he sticks closer to kiss your chin right where the tattoo is, and gently nibbing on the tender skin around your exposed neck, leaving a trail of sloppy kisses all the way down before burying his head in the crook of your neck

every time he sees the tattoo, it reminds him that he is making his girl feel *that good*,

it is your body, your choice, but it has such a choke hold on him

AND

let's even dig a little dipper and have a classified discussion here:

Scenario 1: you already had the tattoo before you two are together, so the pattern could be anything

it doesn't matter, he will lose his sh*t over it anyways; and he gets so pavloved that whenever he sees that pattern or something that resembles that pattern anywhere outside the bedroom, his cock uncontrollably twitches in his pants

Scenario 2: you decided to get the tattoo after you two are together, and you want it to be something that is vaguely related to him, so let's say, you got a music note, a subtle one; and you're a music lover anyway, duh

you didn't tell him at first, you let him discover it himself. The first time he saw it----oh lord, he'd even be crazier, because in his mind, seeing a music note on your chin makes him think of all the sounds that you make---the moaning, the grunts, the whimpering of his name---while he's tasting/fucking you, which are no doubt, 100% 🎶music🎶 to his ears

btw yes i do feel like he will also take notice and remember the placement of your moles and birthmark, and he will randomly trace them when he's holding you

Did you know you could try and steal back your case files at the start of a run?

Just another silly Militsioner comic concept to join the about five-ten others that's collecting dust. Maybe I'll upload them if everyone doesn't mind the same chicken scratch quality.
