hey your boyfriend stole the still-beating heart of a dead god and it's kind of changing him. he's got gills now, also tentacles. yeah as a metaphor for human monstrosity and the blurred boundaries between fear, love, and worship. no we can't take it back he's started a cult and his followers won't let us near him. sorry.

Ohhh. The gods to their priests are like abusive partners, aren't they. A parallel to Hark's relationship to Jelt.

octavian father compilation off the top of my head:

gaius octavius (birth father)

philippus (stepfather)

julius caesar (adoptive father)

cicero (plut. cic. 45.2. among Many other things.)

apollo (suet. aug. 94.4)

a snake (ibid.)

the latest microsoft word version thinks everything needs to be more concise but copyediting julius caesar is next-level

whenever I see archeological remains of a human who suffered from a terrible disease that couldn’t be treated in their lifetime but could be fixed now, this wave of sorrow and mourning washes over me. a woman in the 14th century who spent her 35 years of life bent at the waist because of congenital scoliosis. a man from the 18th century who died because of a non cancerous mass on his jaw that made eating progressively more difficult. remains of a woman from the Neolithic who died in childbirth having evidence of peri-mortem trepanation on her skull.

and yet she survived to 35. and yet the physicians in his time tried to strengthen his jaw. and yet someone 4,000 years ago tried to save someone they loved from dying of preeclampsia/increased cranial pressure. we tried. we tried and we tried and we tried. we failed and we learned but we tried. that’s what makes humans so beautiful.

Old and toothless Jupiter, the King's dearest pet from my Alagadda AU. Based on the lion from the tale "And so, the Crow Laughed", and shares his fate. Poor unfortunate thing.
