I've loved red velvet since the release of their masterpiece peekaboo, I remember hearing it for the first time, watching the music video, falling in love with the high notes, the stylistics and the concept .

I care a lot about the style of a band, how their songs sound, how their universe works. it's against this background that I often choose my favourites. red velvet are one of them.

mysticism, gothicism, occult - them. historical references to women in different times - them. mix of herl crash concept with more nuclear krazy concept - that's about them. each member carries something in herself, and all together they are like a whole, in one style, with one energy. I love every b-side they have, and I only like each of their kambeks more. i love the style they carry, and the theories with the cult or the same theory of cannibalism is my absolute Roman empire 🎀

So, apparently Emperor Julian wrote what historians call a satire, and what I call a "crossover crack-fic in which the Greek gods get all the Roman emperors together in a room and make them argue about who's the coolest."

This crack-fic has, incredibly, survived. It's about 90% Julian roasting historical figures through the mouth of Dionysus' boyfriend. Favorite bits:

Julius Caesar, Augustus and Tiberius show up and are appropriately shit-talked. (And, for Tiberius, kink-shamed.) Caligula steps through the door and is immediately yeeted into Tartarus before anyone can say anything about him.

Nero comes in with his lyre and Apollo promptly knocks the laurel wreath off his head.

Alexander the Great crashes the party and he and Julius Caesar hate each other on sight.

The gods ask Romulus if any of his descendants are a match for Alexander and Romulus is internally like "Aw, shit."

Alexander almost storms out of the party because he doesn't get to monologue first.

When it's Augustus' turn to make a speech Poseidon doesn't let him have a cup of water because he's still mad about that one time Augustus blasphemed against him 400 years earlier.

The gods tell each of the emperors to Explain Themselves and Marcus Aurelius is like, "But you gods already know everything about us," and they're like "...That's fair."

Cameo appearance from Jesus at the very end, who's apparently best bros with Pleasure in a sort of "sin with one, get forgiveness from the other free!" deal.

Michael Sheen is an absolute masterpiece 🔥

I wish Tumblr would let me post more gifs bc he has so much more range even than this, but alas, I had to pick 10 😭

Honestly though, how can one person absolutely rock so many different roles like he does? It's delicious

"The North Hertfordshire museum will now refer to the emperor Elagabalus with female pronouns.

Museum policy states the pronouns used in the displays will be those ‘the individual in question might have used themselves’ or whatever pronoun ‘in retrospect, is appropriate’."

The Baths of Caracalla in Rome, Italy

The Baths were unprecedented in size: 1600 Romans could bathe at the same time. Apart from the bathing facilities, there were two libraries and there were shops, offices, gardens and even an area for sport. It simply didn't fit inside of Rome, and that is why it was built just outside of it, by the Appian Way (Via Appia).
