Maybe Crassus and Metrobius should get some time off to sit and talk shit about Sulla

honestly, the romantic in me doesn't think they'd have anything to talk about. what sulla did with crassus is not exactly 'talk shit with a lover who has always held sulla's affection,' material imo.

in my mind, pompey and crassus have definitely talked around it since both of them had formative sulla related experiences that left it's mark on them (but only like. once. very early in the morning. parking lot at 1am after you've been awake for two days trying to finish your finals style conversation) but if metrobius wanted to talk shit about sulla, I think he'd like. turn to sulla's wife, or someone else who has a similar baseline of affection

#in a world where crassus has taken critical psychosexual damage from sulla i think that crassus would just straight up avoid metrobius #for the usual reasons you might avoid a complicated ex's favorite boyfriend #god has anyone watched the heirs (2013)#you know the scene where choi young-do is like 'dont smile at me in the hallways or think fondly back on this' THAT'S the vibe #sulla and crassus have about it. altho it's more crassus than sulla. its the energy of not wanting to remember it #but also knowing that this has changed and defined you and you will never return to the before #ANYWAY so sorry this is an overly serious reply anon. i am an enjoyer of romantic dramas and messy narrative relationships #and i turn them in my head 24/7 like its on a microwave plate and im watching it without blinking #ask tag
