The worst part of Pride each year is riding the subway late at night and seeing the gay guys, mostly the ones riding by themselves, slowly take off their rainbow stickers and beads and what-not in preparation for their walk alone in their neighborhood, doing their best to prevent the off-chance of being jumped. I saw one guy with a flag in his bag turn it upside down so it wouldn’t poke out.

So yeah, fuck that heterosexual pride day nonsense.

one of the most tragic unknown stories in history is from Ancient Rome, the tale of Sporus the boy who was forcibly castrated by Nero and then forced to marry him because Sporus reminded Nero of his dead wife Poppaea Sabina, who Nero accidentally beat to death when she was pregnant…

basically his crime was being beautiful which is rly sad… delusional Nero used to call Sporus “Poppaea” and had a fancy wedding to him but Nero was also married to Messalina and a poor guy called Pythagoras (not the triangles guy) and Nero dressed in bridal clothes because he was the chick in the Pythagoras relationship Nero was a weird ass polygamist freak who loved spectacle and forced others into it as well

anyways I want to know what Sporus thought in all of this he was no doubt horrified by what Nero had done to him and it shows during one historically recorded occasion: at the Calends festival Sporus gave Nero a ring on the gemstone of which was an illustration of the rape of Persephone, who was kidnapped to hell by Hades… obvious metaphor here it was considered a bad omen Sporus really had guts to do that

when Nero was finally forced to commit suicide he wanted Sporus to say his death rites instead of his official wife Messalina and I wonder if Sporus took pity on this asshol… the saddest part is that after Nero’s death Sporus was passed from man to man and was used as a boy toy until finally when emperor Vitellius was about to force Sporus to perform a play of the rape of Persephone in which Sporus would play the title role he had enough and killed himself… he was only 20 and had the shittiest life ever makes me rly sad can we all light a candle for Sporus please he was so alone among a nest of demons

The Bad Beginning

I have decided to try something new.

As a Classics enthusiast, and one who has been through multiple exams, I thought that, both for my benefit and others, I would start putting up revision topics - and the good thing? Not just for Classics!

There are quite a number of things that I’d be happy to put up, and so below is a list of subjects that I can probably help you out with. Oh, and I will be taking requests, so just shoot me a DM.

Classical Civilisation (although only the Athens and Pompeii sections).

Latin

English Literature (any book, really, but my specialist books would have to be Romeo & Juliet and To Kill A Mockingbird).

English Language (with absolutely anything!)

Spanish

History (currently only International Relations 1919-1939, Britain 1890-1918, and USA: Land of Freedom?)

Chemistry
