lupercalia, babyyyy! and suddenly, mark antony appears—

this is a re draw of a comic I posted back in October! If I bothered to keep track of dates, I would’ve scheduled this post weeks in advance and for much earlier in the day like I do with the Ides of March lmao

Nicolaus, Life of Augustus 72, trans. Mark Toher

⭐ other places I’m at! bsky / pixiv / pillowfort /cohost / cara.app

#gaius julius caesar #gaius cassius longinus #komiks tag #roman republic tag #I feel like if Antony hadn’t interfered them Caesar would’ve accepted it and wore it and it would have been such a sick power play #and Cassius probably would’ve thrown up like five minutes later over it but still. fun! power and dominance! alas. A naked #mark antony appeared and my theoretical AU of events did not come to pass #I could write it out as a fic tho. much to think about. ‘Cassius’ and ‘Caesar’ are fucking in the stage AU tho

Incidentally, I do think the Augustan principate would qualify as authoritarian, due to its erosion of free elections, constitutional limits, and political pluralism. It also counts as a military dictatorship and autocracy. But I would not call it totalitarian, because it lacked the technology and infrastructure needed to control people's lives extensively, nor fascist, because it predated modern values like liberalism and egalitarianism, values which fascism defines itself in opposition to. Similar logic applies to Caesar and his dictatorship-for-life.

#there *were* actually protests and demonstrations throughout augustus' reign. he couldn't stop them #and in one of his letters he advises tiberius to accept public criticism is normal and inevitable #but IMO the impossibility of dismissing the princeps without a coup still qualifies this as authoritarian #octavian #fascism #authoritarianism #jlrrt speaks #julius caesar

caesar being so normal about brutus

#chapman's caesar and pompey #spam tag #*cordelia voice* i shall never marry to love my father whole *stabs him*#the handel-chapman concurrence was too sharp and now this play occupies a part of my brain #and also the surena posting made me think about caesar's clementia with regard to like. poisonous gifts of sorts #the second moment reminds me of a very specific hbo rome shot where caesar's looking at brutus accepting his offer of peace post-pharsalus #and there's a real saturn devouring his son vibe to me. which is funny given that brutus is the one to get the saturn ref in the show #brutus in this play is a little fascinating to be honest. there's something about his tone i just can't place #also in another play of chapman his name is mentioned alongside antigone's. sadly i don't intend to read it but ey!#OKAY going to bed now otherwise i'm going to try and reread the play

This thought is late to the Ides of March party, but I’ve had it and I can’t get it out of my head: If engines are named after aristocrats and kings, maybe it wouldn’t be all that far-fetched for one to be named Caesar?

In the TTTE / RWS ‘verse, I can imagine Engine Caesar being very proud to be named after a Significant Historical Figure. It’s a sign of his importance, his higher station. He doesn’t shut up about it until someone informs him what exactly happened to the man.

I honestly think it fits in with the series’ ethos of not getting too big for your britches. Historical Caesar got too confident, too certain of himself and his control over Rome. There was even some extreme karmic comeuppance!

I also like the thought of Engine Caesar trying to keep that little historical event quiet from his peers. After weeks of throwing his weight around, he refuses to give the “lessers” any fuel for a revolt.

He doesn’t succeed.

On the morning of March 16th, only the engines know what happened the night before in the sheds. None of them are talking. Engine Caesar doesn’t talk much at all for the next couple days.

But Engine Caesar never answers to that name again (and becomes less of a bully in the yard).

#i'm not sure how locomotives would re-enact the ides but i am sure they’d give it a good try #engine!caesar goes back to using his number for a while before accepting a manager’s suggestion of silas #ttte #rws #the railway series #ttte headcanon #rws headcanon #my headcanons #this is very silly but i like it lol #ides of march

Just had a dream and all i heard on repeat was: how am i gonna question myself when i saw it and know i saw it?

#will expand on this later if i want to but essentially this was on repeat in my mind in my dream #seeing is just imagination here. in my dream it was because i had an image of it. and so the main thing i was hearing: u just imagined it.#so u know u have it. how can u question urself? u just saw it. so u must know it #its this acceptance. and it is #how things have manifested before. perhaps always. in my life recently #with my shoes for example that were about £130 i just saw myself wearing them and said ‘omg! now i own these shoes!’ and two days later #my mother took me shopping for shoes specifically. this has happened other times too #unconscious ones are more like - i see myself with them- and go ‘ah cool’ but it still materialises #seeing self with desire - cannot deny its possibility. its existence #mine #i used to think that its abt the knowing its going to reflect which is true u need it bc self concept. why wouldnt u have it in the world of #caesar too? BUT #its moreso the knowing u just had it. u just experienced it. u know u have it in imagination (which is why itll reflect as a byproduct)

AU merlin fic idea that after dotd, merlin saves arthur and he is alive and okay. HOWEVER, arthur is so broken from the lifetime of lies and could no longer trust any of those around him and refuses to accept merlin's "betrayal". this taints their relationship so much that merlin would be so brokenhearted and would lose faith in everything he wished they could have had. at the same time, arthur's knights would begin to tell merlin how undeserving he is of this treatment, how bitter the king has turned, and how this is subsequently ruining camelot. they begin to formulate a plan to kill arthur, and merlin is so heartbroken and in despair from the idea of having to live the entirety of his life with his arthur hating him, so without thinking he goes with them and is the last to stab arthur in the heart (bc mhiry has this impact on me) and at that point arthur would just look at him with such shock and grief and lost love that all he would be able to say is,

“Et tu, Merlin?”

and falls in merlin's arms

What are some of the fandoms/friendships you've been getting?

It's a pretty wide mix so far!

Right now The Mandela Catalogue has the most entries, and there's been lots of different submissions, some I kind of expected (Naruto, Star Wars, TMA etc.) and some that I had completely forgotten about (Regina and Janis!! How did i forget them???)

Someone also submitted Caesar and Brutus which I was not expecting but as a huge shakespeare nerd I really should have tbh

#@that person yes within the context of the play i'd say Caesar & Brutus are acceptable #reading the submissions is a blast honestly #besties breakup asks

old man yaoi? in my historical novel about the late roman republic? it's more likely than you think

#masters of rome #I've just started the first man on rome and WHAT is going on between marius and caesar #he just complimented his wine and his daughter and deadass tied his sandals what's next is he gonna suck his dick #the only reason he accepted to marry iulia was so he could stick around caesar sr I know it in my heart

camila doing shitty stand up for caesar as the legions "official court jester"

#abc shut it #oc babble #shes called the court jester bc caesar finds enjoyment out of making her life miserable #and camila has just sort of accepted the role #camila voice: since its for his amusement im allowed to get away with being rude to him just a little #camila: not a lot but just a little....

the civil war i'm going through because well, trebcass but also brutecass ojojnjrjgrbjgnfiknfj

consider the potential for really messy drama if you combined it all together 👀

#and Caesar too ofc since Caesar is the allegorical new boyfriend that everyone hates or something like that #I think that Brutus would be furious that he’s experiencing an emotion as pathetic as jealousy to such intensity #and would say something about how it’s an emotion better suited to someone like antony #and gaius antonius immediately chimes in like ‘you’re not fucking better than us my guy’#after all! they’re ALL accepting Caesar’s favor!#ask tag #drawing tag #komiks tag #roman republic tag

If I had my way p2 would simply be was less n@zis, they would let Santana kill tf out of strohe*m and it would be more about homoerotic fights with the pillar men (specfically with wham)

#joseph would keep that initial need to beleive the pillar men have good in them like he did with santana #amd hes right and relizes that their not BAD people #especially wham #but whams so fuckint set on a warriors fight to the death with joseph that everytime joseph tries to approach with truces #wham just starts fights with him #caesar fights wham like a dumb shithead but wham tells him to cherish what family he does have #to not kill himself with no honor #caeser getting hurt with permanent breathing damage stopping his ability to use hamon #and hes forced to go tf home to his teenage siblings and care for them #joseph and wham do their final battle but when wham tried to kill himself joseph tells him not to kill himself as he once told caeser #blah blah blah whatever #and kars and lisa actually fight #lisa gets to be swag and fight #and kars doesnt have a weird fucking change in character for all of 30 minutes #stays honorable to his word and fights her #and after destorying the stupid stone of aja they just kinda accept the outcome of the events #and the pillar men live while not being able to see the sun still #and lisa lisa has to relize shes dedicated herself to a dumb fucking cause for 30 odd years #then after wham and joseph are hospitilized and they get visit josephs like #:)) yeah im married #to wham AND suzie whos been visiting us frequently to help our recovery #and turns out we just got along really well ^^#and everyones like #... ok... sure whatever

I'm still not over how close Caesar and Pompey came to preventing their civil war, multiple times, even after the Rubicon was crossed, but a combination of big egos, misunderstandings, and other politicians pouring gas on the fire dragged everyone into the republic's Bad Ending.

#every time i read about marcellus shutting down disarmament talks and cato talking pompey out of accepting caesar's peace proposal #i get emotional again #pompey #julius caesar #cato causing problems

god grant me the serenity not to vaguepost about a reply to a post about the memery of the ides of march

#personal #'some rich asshole who made sure life sucked for the masses' i mean caesar was a rich asshole but like #the entire reason the assassination was such a bungled job was because he WASN'T an asshole to the masses #the masses actually really liked him #it's actually really important historically to understand that caesar's death was orchestrated by the most rich and powerful men in rome #and that the actual masses really liked caesar because he was actively making life so much better than them #(and then was giving them his money after he died? what a prince!)#and so when they the actual populace of rome felt that the One Percent #had just killed their guy for no reason other than their own ambitions and expected them to be cool with it #they got fed the fuck up and they rioted (to the point where they literally cremated caesar's body)#and the situation became immediately untenable for the conspirators and THAT'S why they fled rome #caesar was explicitly very good to and for the masses and actively made life better #and that's why they got mad at some rich legacy kids in the senate taking the law into their own hands #and why they were so willing to accept octavian and his 'i'm just A Baby and also caesar loved me sooo much' shtick #the second that he showed up #(wow god did not grant me any serenity cuz i just ended up vaguing in the tags)

Do you think Richard Burbage and John Heminges ever explored each other's bodies?

#this would be really funny if it were true #I mean it's generally accepted but you know what I mean #julius caesar #Shakespeare #I'm so envious of John Heminges #wish I was him fr
