#ro caesar

“Immortality feels more like a curse when you believe your very breathe is laced with ill fortune. I, the shepherd of tragedy, carry the heavy knowledge that my touch may be more of a curse than blessing.

Name : Caesar

Age : He is in his mid thirties

Appearance : Caesar is a tall, imposing man of 6’3”. Everything about him is monochrome – from his dark blue eyes and messy tousled gray hair, black eyepatch over his right eye, pale, almost ashen skin, and all-black outfit. Befitting of his battle-hardened gaze, he boasts a well-toned, muscular body that is often hidden by his clothes but is no doubt scarred. Caesar is half blind, having lost his right eye to a terrorist attack five years ago.

Personality : Caesar is a very charming and sweet person, albeit a little clumsy and awkward around crowds. He’s sharp and his experiences as a commander has given him enough skill to deal with troublesome people. Despite being a workaholic who works overtime to the point of sleeping in his office and not returning home for days, Caesar is a neat freak. He does not tolerate disorder at all and will actively try to tidy things up even if not required. Around his friends Caesar may be a sweetheart and charming commander, but during duty he is cold, cruel and calculative. He shows no mercy towards law breakers and delinquents and will not hesitate to execute the more serious offenders on the spot by the authority given to him by the Master of the 5th District. Yet underneath his tough exterior lies a broken man with a past filled with death. His apparent immortality has made him believe that he is the bearer of death and misfortune. His silent self loathing of himself doesn't help the issue as well, making him a highly dyfunctional yet sophisticated individual to deal with.

Background : Not much information can be acquired on this individual as all data is heavily regulated and censored. All that is known to the public is that he came from an upper middle class family from the 5th District. The subject joined the FAE (Framework Against Evil) at the age of 18. The family went bankrupt soon after following an acquisition of their business by the Quinn Industries. The subject is a widower with a single daughter, age 10. Remaining data cannot be retrieved.

Likes : Gardening, his job, pastries, white roses, reading, the sun

Dislikes : Darkness, failure, disorder, unnecessary skin contact

Pet peeves : Interrupters, people who beat around the bush unnecessarily, bad public manners

Trivia :

Adores tea; literally needs to have someone swap it out with water so he doesn’t end up getting no sleep with how much he drinks it on a daily basis.

Almost surprisingly, he likes to read storybooks as well–yes, like the type that young children read, because he finds them calming and entertaining.

Enjoys rainy days, but likes clear days a bit better as the sunrise and sunset are stunning to look at and watch

one hour in and theyre dressed in bed sheet togas and speaking shakespeare era english

[toraoistired]

S/o to Monet for not going absolutely nuts after having to listen to Caesar’s annoying ass laugh for years on end.

I would have lost my shit after a couple of days tbh

[divineei]

TYLER STOP TYLER ONG IM HAVING A HEART ATTACK

[nis-si-hellhole]

wondering if the figure shelf above my bed should be made into an f/o-specific shelf

[x-bee-x]

Ros would like to put on a play, then at the end, they Abe Lincoln BBH (kill him at the end in front of everyone) and if that doesn't work, they Caesar him (stab him)

[infinity-or-oblivion]

so um. i may or may not have started writing a realm smp hunger games au where ros and aimsey are from the same district and get picked in the reaping and try to keep each other safe but ultimately only one of them walks out of the arena. and also clown is ros’ brother and a victor with the highest kill count of any hunger games and i get really in my feels about that sibling dynamic. also owen is caesar flickerman. so basically ummmm if anyone wants that please start pressuring me to actually get it written

(check reblogs i posted a little snippet of this!!)

[trippinsorrows]

Definitely think Caesar salad is trying to blackmail Ro.

'caeser salad'????

omg!!! 😭😭😭😭😭😭

ya'll, please, this girl name is celeste. 😭😭😭

[jinnaizaemon]

A post made out of procrastination

In 32-65, Rankirishin try to solve a Caesar cipher, and Shouzaemon kindly explains to them how it works:

The characters of the Japanese alphabet (well, to be exact, syllabary), aren't listed in the order you'd typically find them nowadays, as in あa いi うu えe おo かka きki くku けke こko... but following the iroha order, named after the poem Iroha, famous for being a pangram, that is to say it contains each character of the Japanese syllabary once.

So the first line... :

いろはにほへとちりぬるを

i ro ha ni ho he to chi ri nu ru wo

Can be translated as "even the blossoming flowers will eventually scatter". (In Nintama, classes are ordered using that same iroha order. We leave it as is in subs but 1-i, 1-ro, and 1-ha could very well be localized into 1-a, 1-b, 1-c.)

Anyways, as you probably know and as it's explained in the episode, a Caesar cipher can be decoded by shifting letters or characters by a certain number, which serves as the key to solving the cipher.

At the end of the episode, Hachizaemon shows another secret code to the audience to decipher, giving a hint with his hand (Rantarou would say the hint is in his smile...). At first I wanted to translate the entire episode but just thinking about it gave me a headache, so here's the solution to the cipher instead!

へろそふざ

he ro so fu za

いめむ

i me mu

めけうほ

me ke u ho

ぞきつ

zo ki tsu

This is the original text. Now if we shift the characters from two to the left...

にんたまで

ni n ta ma de

すきな

su ki na

きやらは

ki ya ra ha

だあれ

da a re

Which translates to...

💥Who's your favourite Nintama character?!!!💥

[withasideofshakespeare]

Woah no way?? People (completely unprompted /s) want to hear my trans Shakespeare headcanons?? You bet I can do that.

I’ve done this once before:

But I have even more thoughts now!!

In no particular order:

Puck (A Midsummer Night’s Dream): Every single pronoun possible. He/she/they/it + all of the neopronouns and xenopronouns that exist currently or will ever exist. Fairy gender is always weird but Puck’s is extra weird.

Oberon (A Midsummer Night’s Dream): Fairy gender. Probably he/they/it?

Titania (A Midsummer Night’s Dream): More fairy gender. She/they/it?

Titania’s fairy attendants (Midsummer): Get a hat and fill it with various pronouns and draw them out at random for the fairies.

Benedick (Much Ado About Nothing): Could go either way, but I really like the idea of transfemme Benedick. Or he/him lesbian Benedick.

Beatrice (Much Ado About Nothing): The she/they to end all she/theys

Viola/Cesario (Twelfth Night): Could be trans in literally any direction. I made a post about this too at some point. My suggestion is all of the directions: they/she/he

Sebastian (Twelfth Night): He/him, transmasc. I also made a post about this at some point.

Feste (Twelfth Night): I saw a great she/her Feste last summer.

Orsino (Twelfth Night): Specifically the himbo variety of he/they

Margaret of Anjou (Henry VI trilogy and Richard III): If I ever play Margaret, I will use she/they pronouns.

Catesby (Richard III): Just played Catesby with she/her pronouns and it worked!

Richard II (Richard II): Tell me Richard isn’t the most they/he or he/they guy alive (or… dead).

Hal (1 Henry IV-Henry V): Saw Hal played with she/they pronouns last summer and it was great. Could also see he/they Hal. Very nonbinary vibe overall. I personally believe that going by Hal rather than Henry for two whole plays is their way of pulling the “going by the first letter of what my name used to be instead of picking a name from scratch” nonbinary trick. He probably pretends to be cis after his dad dies and he becomes king—one more element of Hal’s lifelong identity crisis.

Hotspur/Harry Percy Jr. (Richard II & 1 Henry IV): He/they in denial.

Kate Percy (1 & 2 Henry IV): She/they, not in denial. (Also Katespur should be bi4bi)

Ned Poins (1 & 2 Henry IV): Transmasc Ned Poins?? Maybe he doesn’t actually have a sister and Nell is just his deadname. Ned Poins’ failed scheme to flirt with Hal.

Romeo (Romeo & Juliet): he/they (t4t R&J!!!)

Juliet (Romeo & Juliet): she/they (t4t R&J!!!)

Mercutio (Romeo & Juliet): they/he(/it?). Vibes alone. Look at them. Just look.

Nurse (Romeo & Juliet): she/her, transfemme!

Cassius (Julius Caesar): Would love to see a they/them Cassius

Hamlet (Hamlet): he/they. I’ve made multiple posts about this theory and I still love it.

Ophelia (Hamlet): she/they. As she should.

Laertes (Hamlet): she/him and NOT just because Laertes used she/her pronouns the first time I saw this play.

Rosencrantz (Hamlet): he/they/she. Vibes. Sometimes goes by Ros/Rose. Probably genderfluid.

Malcolm (Macbeth): they/he or they/them. Also vibes.

Lady Macbeth (Macbeth): stolen straight from my last post because this is still my HC: she/they; would insult you for “having pronouns in your bio” and then turn around and punch you in the face for using their pronouns incorrectly.

Angus (Macbeth): she/her, transfemme. (t4t Ross/Angus. I will die on this hill… Dunsinane Hill.)

Ross (Macbeth): he/him, transmasc

Caithness (Macbeth): she/they lesbian

Mark Antony (Julius Caesar and Antony & Cleopatra): I would not bat an eye at he/they Mark Antony

Edmund (King Lear): they/he, nonbinary, sexiest man (/gn) alive.

Edgar (King Lear): he/him. Transmasc Edgar is slowly becoming canon To Me.

Cordelia (King Lear): she/her, transfemme.

Goneril (King Lear): she/they. I would let them kill me.

Coriolanus (Coriolanus): transmasc OR transfemme Coriolanus is!!!! The butterfly/metamorphosis motif! Name changes during canon! Discomfort with scars/body! Lack of autonomy granted by society! This is THE transgender play. (Other than Twelfth Night)

Imogen (Cymbeline): Tell me she doesn’t want to be a she/they so bad.

Florizel (The Winter’s Tale): he/they(/she?). Literally just a vibe. I have a pet rock named Florizel.

Perdita (The Winter’s Tale): she/they. I also have a pet rock named Perdita.

Ariel (The Tempest): Similar to Puck, probably they/she/he? Even my conservative English prof consistently rotates between she/her and he/him for Ariel (possibly not intentionally? I’m not convinced he knows what her canon pronouns are.)

Ferdinand (The Tempest): she/they. PLEASE give me transfemme Ferdinand. PLEASE let Miranda realize she’s a lesbian during canon.

Miranda (The Tempest): she/they. Ariel taught them about the existence of she/they pronouns and she immediately started using them.

So in other words… every Shakespeare character should be trans, actually.

Description: Peeta Mellark is the sole victor of the Quarter Quell. With District 12 nothing but ash, he rebuilds his life by moving to the Capitol and falling in love with Rosalia Snow, granddaughter to Coriolanus Snow.

Then people Peeta thought long dead kidnap him and Rosalia, including the one person he hates more than anyone: Katniss Everdeen. They say he's been hijacked. They say that he used to love her. Locked away in District 13, Peeta is determined to protect his mind and his fiancée from the rebels. But while imprisoned, videos disprove his memories and his feelings toward Katniss grow confusing. Who can he trust, and what really happened in his past?

Thank you to @louezem for being the best beta and cheerleader and for helping me track down the original version of this. And huge, huge, HUGE thank you to @ldyglfr62 for having an original version saved and sharing it with me again so I can revise and finish what I started 10 years ago.

Chapter One

I wait behind the stage as Caesar Flickerman makes jokes about his age, the audience roaring with laughter as he impersonates a hobbling old man horny for his Avox to give him a sponge bath. After forty-six years of hosting the Hunger Games, Caesar is retiring.

He wraps up his bit and the audience quiets. Caesar turns more serious as he says, "While I have bittersweet feelings about leaving, I'm excited to announce the new host of The Capitol Late Night Show and the upcoming Eighty-First Hunger Games: Peeta Mellark!"

My cue. I come on the stage, waving and smiling at the cheering people who create a pointillism painting, each one a dot of a different color. Caesar, with shiny metallic silver hair and suit to match, reaches out his hand, then jerks it back before I can grab it. I put my hands on my hips and shake my head as if jilted, raising titters among the crowd. Caesar and I shake hands this time, slapping each other's backs.

"Who would have thought when you were a tribute seven years ago, that you'd be replacing me?" Caesar asks after the cheers die down. "I certainly didn't!"

I grin. "I wouldn't either, Caesar. But so much has happened since then, and I'm so grateful for all of it. For the people of the Capitol to accept me after the Quarter Quell and those rebels destroyed my home. That I've been chosen for this job, and of course, to find love again."

"That's right, you're engaged! We haven't had a chance to talk since it's happened," Caesar says. His face grows solemn. "You must get this all the time, Peeta, but I have to ask: how do you think Katniss would feel about this recent turn in your life?"

Katniss again. I wish I could just get through one interview without that bitch's name brought up. But as she planned it, I can't escape her, even with her dead and gone for six years now. Even with another woman in my arms. Even with the rebellion squashed under the Capitol for a second time.

"I know Katniss wanted me to live a full life, even without her," I say, my voice soft. "She's not gone from my heart, she never will be, but Rosalia Snow has given me so much of the happiness and love I needed to heal. I think Katniss would be happy for us. If our fates had been switched, I know I would have been for her."

I've said something similar to this so many times I'm surprised the audience still sighs and I see a few people at the front have watery eyes. Their hearts break more for her loss than mine ever did. I let a slow, easy smile crawl back up my face.

"But what I think what the audience wants to know, Caesar, is what you'll be doing now," I say.

"Absolutely nothing!" Caesar says, and the crowd laughs and applauds.

"Watch your figure," I say. "You wouldn't want to lose it."

"But my dear Peeta, that's what retirement is for."

We continue our banter about body image, diets, and golf until time comes for us to sign off. We say good-night, the camera's red light stops blinking, and the audience stands up.

Rosalia's in the front row and climbs up the stage to come kiss me. Her rosy-pink curls brush against my cheeks. She pulls back a little, her bright green eyes fluttering open, and puts her left hand on my face, her engagement ring sparkling.

"How did I do?" I ask.

"Charming as always," Rosalia says, then the smile from her plump lips fade. "Except…"

"I know. But I can't help that they bring her up so much," I say. Rosalia's the only person alive who knows the truth about Katniss and I. Of how she twisted the first game so we were stuck with each other, how she abused me, how she never really loved me and only used me to get ahead in the Games. Only she knew of my relief to find that when Katniss blasted the force field in the Quarter Quell, she died.

Rosalia brushes my blond hair back. "Now that you're a host, will you please let me give you a make-over? I know I said blue before, but I’m thinking purple now, it’s much more in style. Of course, though, we won't even touch your eyes. They're perfect as they are."

I shake my head. "I'm sticking with the way I am."

Rosalia pouts, but contends as she always does when she wants me to get tattoos or dye my hair or fill my lips.

Caesar walks away from his crowd of fans at the edge of the stage toward the two of us. "Are you lovebirds coming to my party tonight?"

"Wouldn't miss it," Rosalia says. I pull her closer into my chest, breathing in her flowery perfume.

"Any chance you could get that father of yours to show up?" Caesar flashes her his pearly smile.

“He’s less of a fan of parties than my grandfather was,” Rosalia says. 

“Probably better for the President to not be there, right, Caesar?” I say. “Won’t have to worry about keeping everything above board then.”

Caesar laughs. “Oh, Peeta. Sometimes you’re still that boy from Twelve.”

A breath jabs in the center of my chest at the mention of home like a shard of glass. The boy from Twelve, spoken of in such simple terms by people here at the Capitol. But I am now the only boy from Twelve. The only person. Not even Haymitch, discovered to be a rebel traitor and shot down in a hovercraft attempting to escape during the Quell, was left.

[hn-undercover-9503]

I wanna start rambling about One Piece on main so I'm gonna start doing chapter thoughts on here so chapter 1148 here we fuckin go

*this isn't in any particular order I just wrote down thoughts as they occurred to me

(yamato is collecting samurai just like Oden hnnmgh what if I cry)

OKAY first of all fucking. Ronja. RONJA. AAAAAAHHHHHH god okay I'm so attached to her now. I know Oda would never kill a child but GOD.DAMN. One of the idiots in the underworld region will surely catch her. My money is on Luffy or Sanji because giant and it's Sanji. She will be fine but ooooughhh...baby....

Also--ROBIN. I FUCKING LOOOOVE WHEN ROBIN JUST FUCKIN. SNAPS PEOPLE IN HALF. LIKE YES. VIOLENT HOMICIDE (ignoring the fact that none of the people she's done this to actually die) Robin should kill more I think. I love her so much--AND AND AND the fact that she's just IMMEDIATELY jumping to such a viscous attack is incredible because it shows that she is NOOOOTT fucking around because these guys are threatening to erase the life's work of her homeland, as well as the work of Saul and all of Elbaph's culture and history. AND. COULD YOU IMAGINE. IF THE FUCKING MURAL WAS BURNT. I think Robin would just start ripping the holy knights into tiny little pieces regen be damned (and I would cheer)

I love that Brook has just been. completely mummified. He told off Gunko and she was immediately just like "shut up insect you'll sing for me later" like undeniably that's fucking hysterical

Also nami? "Even the worst, most vicious criminals across the world don't take children hostage" uhhhhmmmm hmmmm sweetie queen I love you but that is. not true. Children get taken hostage so very often in one piece. Caesar did it, Doflamingo did it, Kaido did it, Saturn did it...this is not a new development the only change here is that there are way more kids being used as hostages now lmao

"what we want to burn down is your culture and your history" so we really are just. saying the quiet part out loud now okay I hope you fucking diiiiieeeeeee

I like how Sommers is like "Gasp! I know you! You're Nico Ro--fucking. twig snap. his spine would be folded in two if he wasn't a regenerating little FREEEAAKKKK RAHHHHHH

Robin tackling him and then him immediately jumping to "huh are you in love with me" iiii want to squish him like a bug. Robin is too good for youuuuuu shut uppp

"conniving vixen" I am going to reach through the fourth wall and kill this man myself. leave my girl aloooonnnnneeeeee

<3 Nami is me btw <3 I am also kicking my feet and giggling at Robin being fuckin awesome rn

Hey man oda lemme just...yeah okay over here for a sec....WHY THE FUCK. DID YOU HAVE TO MAKE RONJA GO THIS FUCKING HARD. THAT'S MY BABY NOW. I'D KILL FOR HER? I THINK I'D DIE FOR HER? ODA??? HELLO??? (<- cried upon first read of her speech) GOD SHE'S BEING SO BRAVE I LOVE HER I LOVE HER AND THE CUT TO NAMI I'M GONNA FUCKINNNNNNN RAHHHHH OODDAAA WHEN I CATCH YOU WHEN I CATCH YOU ODA

AND FUCKINNNNN AAAAAAAA SOMMERS I NEED HIM TO BE SQUASHED I WANT HIM FROTHING AT THE MOOOUTHHHH WRITHING ON THE FLOOR DON'T TOUCH RRRROOOOBBBBIIIIIIIINNNNNN

BUT SCOPPER MOTHERFUCKINGGGGG GABAN YAYYYAYYAYAYYYYYY!!!! ARM AMPUTATION LET'S GOOOOOOOOOOO GET HIS ASSSS

Guessing Gaban is going to teach Luffy a new level of Haki in this arc btw specifically how to counteract the elders and holy knights' regeneration ability and I am soooo here for it

Have you guys seen the new Detroit sign

Yeah, it kinda sucks ass

And no I'm not saying this because I saw the obviously AI generated image and my expectations were high, I'm saying this because I'm a graphic design student. Also, the first one still looks like shit and it lacks creativity. It's basically a copy of the Hollywood sign. Have the people who've seen the AI generated image seen what literally anything looks like? Are they stupid? Even the mayor is disappointed. Come the fuck on.

Not to worry, I've come up with a solution. I'm not saying this should be the final solution, but I think it's better than the one where you just use a masking tool to paint parts of the Detroit sports logos over the existing sign letters. I can't find a photo of it.

The solution? Random typography. Not many brands are bold enough to use it. The only one I can think of off the top of my head is the logo for CCS (College for Creative Studies), also in Detroit!

Top image is the acronym, bottom is the full logo. It even shows a grid system!

Maybe if we weren't such cowards, we could incorporate random typography into more brands. I'll be bold enough to take on that task.

You might wonder, how will you choose the typefaces? Using Detroit company logos and taking from those. But I won't do it randomly. In fact, I've done research on Detroit companies and when they were founded. Here are some that I've found.

Comerica: 1849

Carhartt: 1889

Ford: 1903

Faygo: 1907

Little Caesar's: 1959

DTE Energy: 1996

Oh yeah, those letters I filled in? They spell out "etroit." The D will be the Detroit sports logo used for the Lions and the Tigers.

Using some crude editing in Google Slides, I've managed to create this logo.

This uses the following:

The "D" in the Detroit lettermark

The "e" in the Comerica wordmark

A "t" in the Carhartt wordmark

A cursive "r" in the Ford wordmark

The "o" in the Faygo wordmark

The "i" in the Little Caesar's wordmark

The "T" in the DTE wordmark

Crazy? Yes. Maybe this is why most logos stick to just one typeface. But we're building a city sign, dammit! Why shouldn't we break the rules? This is certainly better than the Helvetica ass sign they have out there! There's been diss tracks made, that should be enough to convince the city to change the sign and get some real designers involved!

Also here's a better sign where all the letters are about the same size

I like this one better. There's even a consistent color palette of blue, black and orange, colors associated with the Lions and the Tigers. Where they are, however, is not very consistent. The tones are all different! Do we use all blue at this point? Maybe black? Maybe keep the D blue and also make "et" blue, then "ro" black, then "iT" orange? Or does it look fine like this?

Maybe later I'll find a way to 3D model this
