BROTHERS

The river Weser ran between the Roman and Cheruscan forces. Arminius came to the bank and halted with his fellow chieftains:— "Had the Caesar come?" he inquired.​ On receiving the reply that he was in presence, he asked to be allowed to speak with his brother. That brother, Flavus by name, was serving in the army, a conspicuous figure both from his loyalty and from the loss of an eye through a wound received some few years before during Tiberius' term of command. Leave was granted, and Stertinius took him down to the river. Walking forward, he was greeted by Arminius; who, dismissing his own escort, demanded that the archers posted along our side of the stream should be also withdrawn. When these had retired, he asked his brother, whence the disfigurement of his face? On being told the place and battle, he inquired what reward he had received. Flavus mentioned his increased pay, the chain, the crown, and other military decorations; Arminius scoffed at the cheap rewards of servitude.

They now began to argue from their opposite points of view. Flavus insisted on "Roman greatness, the power of the Caesar; the heavy penalties for the vanquished; the mercy always waiting for him who submitted himself. Even Arminius' wife and child were not treated as enemies." His brother urged "the sacred call of their country; their ancestral liberty; the gods of their German hearths; and their mother, who prayed, with himself, that he would not choose the title of renegade and traitor to his kindred, to the kindred of his wife, to the whole of his race in fact, before that of their liberator." From this point they drifted, little by little, into recriminations; and not even the intervening river would have prevented a duel, had not Stertinius run up and laid a restraining hand on Flavus, who in the fullness of his anger was calling for his weapons and his horse. On the other side Arminius was visible, shouting threats and challenging to battle: for he kept interjecting much in Latin, as he had seen service in the Roman camp as a captain of native auxiliaries.

Tacitus Annals 2.10-11

there's a lot going on in there! Arminius switching to Latin is a detail that always makes me feel a deep kind of sadness, especially with how it's preceded by mention of their mother. I wonder what she thought of what became of her sons, on opposite sides of everything but still, inescapably, brothers. even when they want to kill each other. there sure are a lot of fucked up and unhappy brothers around. and Arminius asking about Flavus' injury............I also had a whole thing typed out about the horror of imperialism and colonization and the trauma of assimilation but I think this sets the tone better

and also this, just for fun

this post is already a mile long, so lets add another mile to it: a little scene at the start of their conversation! tfw you go in for a hug and your younger brother who also ended up being taller starts roasting your hair style

oh my god??? i (she of the 8000 drafts) had no idea that you could use the mass post editor feature to go back in time through your drafts (the way you can with your posts in the archive). i'm doing this on web btw, and clicking on the post thumbnail just highlights it, but you can right-click open into a new tab and see the draft itself. this is life changing. i've been waiting for this for so long. i'm cancelling all my plans.

(fyi, it looks like i survived about 2 years on this hellhome without hoarding drafts! the beginning of the end for me was an unfinished sheppard/weir fic for @drst in late 2013 in response to an ask game, and i spun out from there.)

i also realized that you can leap back to the beginning of your inbox by manually adding/editing the "offset" in the url.

i have been wanting to page back in there forever to see if there is still Fan Mail hiding in there as a vintage relic (there isn't, so i assume it all vanished when tumblr phased that feature out).

the oldest four things in my inbox (2014):

@geneeste telling me she liked my tags ☺️

a conversation with @janetfraiser about the benefits of blocking the sherlock tag

an "answer and then send this on to 5 other users" chain meme that is still going around

an exchange with @wingsofnight (when will she return from the war) about firmly denying the character deaths and horrors on stargate atlantis that began with the episode "sunday":

i think we should bring that back actually

heads up seven up tag

ty ty to @liv-is for tagging me! i’m not gonna tag anyone bc i’m feeling lazy about it, but if you see and wanna do it, say i tagged you 🫶

from Vessel:

“Are you busy?” he asked. I was tempted to tell him to fuck off since he hasn’t seemed that interested in talking to me the entire time he’s lived in my brother’s room, but there was the whole reason he was even in Hayden’s room to begin with that was making him out to be a dick. Grief and stuff. It makes people act different. I shook my head. “Are you hungry then? I was gonna order takeout, but I thought I should leave the house so I—actually that doesn’t matter. I’m going to Sal’s, do you want to join me?”

I nodded cause I couldn’t speak. If I started, I was going to start spilling secrets about my ghosts and I would never shut up.
