Agrippa, Antony, and Octavian operate in a kind of love triangle where the object of desire is Rome. however. definitions of Rome vary. Rome is a place, Rome is home for Antony. For Octavian: Rome is a place, Rome is home, so he BECOMES Rome. Agrippa has only ever operated on a Rome Is Octavian framework, so as long as Rome stands, Octavian lives, immortality is achievable.

Everyone else suffers.

#something blah 'you can never return home' for antony too but idc about that #it's like. EXCEEDINGLY hard for me to care about an antony-exile-rejection of home framework #when i think. about. assimilation under the feet of the empire. and octavian and antony were rival dynasts #augh. whatever. exile trauma-rejection of home is antony's theme. i wont rob him of it #but i also wont wax poetic abt it because he commits one of thee worst sins to me ever. just an absolute fuck up of a leader #some real tirad pass shit going on there #(the exception to the rule is cleopatra '63 antony. love you babygirl!!!)#talking tag
