worst thing people did was turn the incredibly personal experience of being lgbt into strict definitions and rules and then ridicule and harass others who don't fit into their neat boxes, as if that isn't what we were trying to run away from this whole time.

Something I think ppl who aren't used to it struggle with when it comes to ancient history is that frequently 'we do not and cannot know this' is the only truthful response a historian can give. People severely overestimate how much we actually know about Ancient Rome.

I remember talking to someone at a party once about the debate over Septimius Severus's ethnicity (whole other can of worms) and they asked if genetic testing of his remains was not a way to settle it and I was like oh. Oh okay you are under the impression we have the physical remains of Roman emperors from the second century AD alright then. (We. Do not.)

One day you think: I want to die. And then you think, very quietly, actually I want a coffee. I want a nap. A sandwich. A book. And I want to die turns day by day into I want to go home, I want to walk in the woods, I want to see my friends, I want to sit in the sun. I want a cleaner room, I want a better job, I want to live somewhere else, I want to live.

6’2 and standing at the front of the crowd is crazy. you already have an advantage just by being alive brother. blocking out all the sunlight. life on the forest floor, withering away

For old times sake is actually such a heartbreaking and beautiful sentiment. Like, let’s do it for the love that used to be here. It is reason enough.

venus and mars are so conceptually sexy like. what if the god of war and the goddess of love & desire were lovers. but because war is love they're also both soldiers eternally challenging each other to battles. they're mirror images of each other. they're fucking. they're engaged in a power struggle. venus has her foot planted on his chest and her sword point under his chin and he's enjoying it

the nearly incestuous role cassandra plays in the agamemnon. she's introduced in a way that suggests a role as agamemnon's bride, arriving at her new home, but agamemnon's actual wife is waiting for them in the traditional place of the mother of the groom, making her the mother-in-law of cassandra, who also bears a strong comparison to iphigeneia, clytaemnestra's actual daughter, in terms of bridal/virginal/sacrificial imagery. the exact daughter that clytaemnestra aims to avenge since she was sacrificed instead of wedded. BUT instead she kills her husbandson AND his daughterwife to boot to show she's beyond reason. killing both the transgressor and her reason for revenge. and then her son kills her. perversion and blurring of sexual and familial boundaries all around
