there's no article out there that'll suddenly make antony compelling for me but maybe. maybe there's a sentence somewhere that'll unlock some thought that'll make him interesting enough I can give him a fucking character arc. like. do I need to compare and contrast him to clodius. sulla. pompey even. not caesar, because antony and caesar are eating each other.

#(leans back in chair) maybe if i finally finish reading a biography on octavian he will be compelling to me #absolutely WHACK i used to be obsessed with him on a surface level interest but now im like #blehghhh. his parthian campaign is compelling to me. actium is compelling to me. how do i reverse engineer this into #finding something compelling before that #shaking him like a ragdoll in my teeth #(i NEED. to build up a good cassius-antony arc. i HAVE to. its necessary for the tragedy #but oh my god my eyes keep glazing over when i try to read a bio on him)#all it took was one sentence for me to become obsessed with cassius!!!! there HAS to be a sentence out there #that'll break antony down to his most compelling core #some kind of character question that'll make me go 'YES that's a character arc i can sink my teeth into!!!'#god. what if i just read that one cleopatra and antony text. that'll fix me. that'll fix antony.
