what ARE the circumstances that made decimation work for Crassus, if you don’t mind me asking?

it was a slave rebellion, and the third servile war would be the last major slave rebellion during the republic.

it's important to remember: roman attitudes towards slaves, and that when the roman army cracks, it shatters.

Decimatio: Myth, Discipline, and Death in the Roman Republic, Michael J. Taylor

here, the decimation cauterized the hemorrhaging morale because the army felt reassured that their commander was more terrifying than spartacus (appian civ. 1.118). even if this is generous take on the situation, either way: the army under crassus' command came together to accomplish the task the senate set for them.

we will not see this specific set of circumstances again, and other commanders will not be jumping at the chance to try their hand at it since it was excessively brutal in practice.

this is probably the only moment where it would be met with any kind of positive reaction by the army. on account of the slaves. I cannot emphasize enough how humiliating it was for the roman identity that they were brought to a standstill by a slave rebellion. which is also why crassus executed six thousand surviving slaves by crucifixion (a death that was humiliating, painful, and most horrifying of all: slow)

tldr; rome is a horrible torment nexus filled with violence from the top down

Tier List of How I would like WarioWare characters to be in a meet and greet

So I've been interested in meet and greets for a hot while now...and I *was* interested in WarioWare so...made this tier list on how I would like to see the characters in some park, not guaranteed universal. If anything, animatronics and talking mascots and the mascot stations would be perfect for all, but what's the fun in that?

This is a very flexible list because WarioWare characters are wacky and Nintendo can be strict about how characters are portrayed. There is no best tier, because all have their pros and cons.

Anyways, consider the following text as my more flexible list because tier lists only let each choice be one tier. ...and an explanation of what I mean cuz I didn't know there were chatty animatronic stations (as I would call them here) until recently. That's what I get for only going to universal for a very young portion of my life.

Animatronic Mascot Stations

This is where you go to a specific spot in the park to chat it up with someone puppeteering as a character, voice and all. This is seen through Donkey (Shrek) and Snowball (Secret Life of Pets) at Universal, and Crush (Finding Nemo) at Disney California, though the latter is through a digital screen.

Personally I find these to be a great way to bring characters to reality. One can chat up with an accurate looking character likely with an accurate voice. Being unable to roam is a con, plus a park only full of stationary characters would not feel lively.

Spitz, Crygor, and 9-Volt would be ideal for this position because they are fairly chatty and can be justified in staying in one location and probably one position. 9-Volt can ramble about games.

I could also see Penny and Ashley here due to their proportions. They can be rather stationary with like focusing on science or potions respectively. But idk if technology could be advanced enough to juggle that...at least sometime soon. Mike would also fit here as he can DJ for park or even some party atmosphere.

Wario was actually one of these during a gaming convention PLUS the digital version at conventions and Nintendo Store(s). To see that again would be neat, but as will be mentioned later, he can also fit in a different category.

Walking Puppet

These guys are (usually) silent, but they're followed by someone who are helping them move! Can allow characters to also be size accurate, but to also roam around. More complicated puppets require two people, but I don't really think those sort of puppets would be a meet and greet. They'd be perfect for a stage show, like Bluey the Big Play.

The twins and Lulu being diminutive girls can slip between this and just puppet because I don't really think people can easily emulate their voices...They're more actions sort of kids. Though if their arms need to be holding something because complexity of puppets gotta be simple for one person each to manage them, they got animal friends.

Puppet

May or may not be chatty. This also includes Grogu from Disneyland. But I was thinking of the Mossi of World of Frozen. Some would be holding these small creatures and they can chat. Pyoro is simple. Red can pass with prerecorded lines.

Mascot Costume

These costumed guys are iconic, seen everywhere. There has been recent development that these guys can talk now! Technically everyone in WarioWare can fall into this category! But I don't know if it's financially or developmentally feasible to have all talking mascots. Articulated heads are heavy.

Wario being inspired by Mario helps in this category, though I wonder if the size of his mouth makes him more suited for a stationed character experience IF making him talk would be a requirement due to said bros. There has been a Wario mascot before.

18-Volt and Dribble would definitely be gigantic mascots. I kinda cried at seeing how big Donkey Kong is through video, and would feel that a size similar to that or mildly smaller would be good for those two.

Master Mantis is probably a Ghepetto situation. Old guy hard to find matches for, plus those big hair thingies would be rough. I can see most, if not all of the WarioWare cast being portrayed by silent mascots. You can at least hug these guys!

Face Character

What people may think when it comes to Disney princesses at Disneyland, though plenty of characters have been portrayed by unmasked humans, such as the Mystery gang, Mad Hatter, Hades, the Queen, and the whos.

Some people do connect better with folks who they can see well...the faces of. Voices and looks may not be exact, but they sure can be witty when cast right. Of course, the more human of the cast would fall under this. That includes the younger girls, but these are my preferences. Though Cindy Lou is a very young child portrayed by a short woman.

Anyways, Orbulon can fit into any position except face character. Big mascot Orbulon can be explained through shapeshifting if one is needed. Thank you for listening to me ramble...if you did. This is all for silly fun.

⚡️ Have you heard the news? Lightning McQueen’s Racing Academy will be be closing October 7th for a brand new villains show to be showcasing in the summer of 2025

I couldn’t find much on the villains show more than villains such as Cruella, Captain Hook, Maleficent, and others will take to the stage in magical frightful productions.

What are you thoughts on this closure? I have mixed feelings about this as this was a great spot to hide away from crowds and the heat, but as always I’m excited to see what Disney does.
