[proinsiascassius]

reading this ruined my whole day, i’m so distraught

YOU FORGOT ABOUT THE RAMMYS BRO🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️

[pimpernelthescarlet]

Me: Cassius is evil. I KNOW that Cassius is evil.

Also me: What if Caesar and Cassius were best friends and Caesar started taking Cassius for granted? What if Cassius started resenting Caesar but he didn’t want to say anything because everyone else loved Caesar? What if Cassius, being the suave and likeable guy he is, made loads of friends but they all started getting obsessed with Caesar and ignoring Cassius? What if Caesar was always horrible to Cassius because if made him feel more powerful and he knew that Cassius wasn’t going to stop being his friend after all those years, else Cassius would lose all the friends he made and cares about because they all love Caesar? What if Cassius grew to resent Caesar even more because he saw everyone around him love him with no knowledge of how he treated Cassius behind closed doors? What if Cassius was thinking about killing Caesar before crossing the river, because of all this, but when they crossed the river and he was given the opportunity to leave Caesar for dead, he couldn’t bring himself to do it? What if, after the whole river fiasco, Cassius had the slightest hope that Caesar would start treating him better, but that was all shut down when Caesar went back to his old ways? What if Cassius then contrived that he was DEFINITELY going to kill Caesar after that, perhaps to pretend it was an accident or something? What if, when Caesar got sick in Spain, Cassius thought “right. This is it. I’ll leave him to die this time.” but he couldn’t after watching how Caesar cried out, so confused and distressed, and he simply couldn’t bring himself to let Caesar die? What if, after all that, when Caesar came back to Rome, he decided that this was finally the time to kill Caesar and that he’s done enough waiting around? What if he could’ve easily killed Caesar on his own, but he got other people on board because he wanted to finally hear other people hate Caesar as much as he does? What if he got other people on board because he knew that the guilt would eat him alive if he did it on his own?

“Hm.” His gaze moved off Brutus, fixing itself onto a poster on the wall. Brutus felt like a blinding spotlight had slid off him and he was left in dim candlelight. “Are… are you afraid of dying?” Brutus prodded back. Cassius’s face twisted, chewing on his lip. “No.” “...Really?” Brutus kept his voice level, but Cassius answered way too fast for him to not be concerned.

Silly excerpt from a drabble I wrote at like 2 AM.

I know the ides of march was yesterday but I was at work for most of it and then playing dnd for the rest so here's my contribution

brutus and cassius are gay

thanks for coming to my tedtalk

[cherrycokeboy]

i just. i just love the name and the SOUND of his name. “cassius” sounds like a place in an ocean that’s constant moving. sounds like the name of an ocean it self.

plus it’s a very gay name. i have no reason other than it sounds very gay.

caius cassius, a gay dude who’s homophobic.

[aloisiadecolombier]

Gentlemen, is it gay to conspire with your long time friend and collaborator to assassinate Caesar?

[pimpernelthescarlet]

Me when someone says that Cassius is the main villain: How dare you?! Cassius is totally justified, and here’s my 12 page essay on why.

Me when someone says that Brutus is the main villain: ERM EXCUSE ME WHAT ABOUT CASSIUS?!?!?!?!

[pocketsizedmrdarcy]

Should I post my dumb Brutus and Cassius fan fic?

[brother-emperors]

It’s a little bit ‘I was the match and you were the rock, maybe we started this fire/We sat apart and watched all we had burn on the pyre,’ and ‘Do you understand that we will never be the same again?’ from Bastille’s The Things We Lost In The Fire

and a little bit:

‘A l’instar de son aîné, Caius Antonius sait se montrer délicieux. Il est cultivé, intelligent, plein d’esprit, gracieux, amiable. Surtout, il appartient à la même génération que Brutus, au même milieu. Depuis le départ de Cassius pour l’Orient, il y à quatre mois, Marcus a vécu avec des hommes dont il pourrait être le père, ou avec les soldats, des bas officiers plus âgés mais qui ne sont pas de son monde.’

and also

‘En juin, Cassius a enlevé Laodicée et définitivement défait les forces de Dolabella. Jugeant les autres à sq propre mesur, le beau Publius Cornelius s'est souvenu de ce qu'il avait fait subir à Trebonius…Cassius passant pour un homme violent et rancunier, pour un ami fidèle aussi, Dolabella s'est dit qu'il allait payer la mort horrible de l'ancien gouverneur.’

Brutus: Assassin par idéal, Anne Berner

actually it’s mostly about how my entire playlist for the road leading up to Philippi (after both Brutus and Cassius leave Rome after the assassination of Caesar) is Bastille’s Bad Blood album on repeat. I want their relationship to get messy. There’s another version of this scene that gets a lot more teeth to the subtext of the conversation, but I wanted to play around with it first before committing to like. room layouts. there was originally a couple of transitional panels before the last 2 because I wanted Brutus to really chew on this thought he has, but augh. stairs. didn’t feel like drawing those.
