i love meta on the doctor choosing his name as an intentional affirmation of the value of hope in- and out-of-universe, but the fact remains that he did not get that name because he thought it would be sick to be renowned for healing and saving lives. he got that name because ian chesterton, some 1960s schoolteacher, assumed that he was a doctor and the doctor couldn't be bothered to find a better name.

The way that tumblr celebrates the Ides of March every year is so strange to me, because like.

The assassination of Julius Cesar is maybe one of the MOST controversial moments in western history. A thousand years later, Dante Alegari (who was Italian) when writing the Divine Comedy, reserves the deepest foulest pit of hell for Brutus, Casius and Judas, condemning them to be Satan’s eternal chew toys. Shakespeare devotes an entire play to how Julius Cesar is a complicated figure neither saint nor monster, and to how the assassin’s motives ranged from virtuous to petty and spiteful. To this DAY scholars and historians still argue about the actions of the assassins, spilling oceans of ink.

And yet all of tumblr seems to accept three things as undisputed fact:

That Julius Caesar was a dictator (true) and tyrant (debatable).

That the assassins, and Brutus in particular where righteous in the stabbing of him (A statement that would spark riots in any classical history department in any western country)

That the stabbing turned out great for everyone involved who was NOT Caesar (super super not true- it sparked off riots that nearly destroyed the city of Rome, and a Civil War that killed tens of thousands and nearly destroyed the country of Rome).

Every March 15th, this site throws a party and stubbornly insists that an event, a real historical event that unleashed untold chaos and death on the world, was actually just really cool and funny you guys: Caesar was a bad guy and his assassins where super cool, and that’s that.

And I get the memes are choice. But I think, we may collectively, be missing the point of this particular lesson of history.
