Some random and totally useless facts about the ides of march in preparation for the stabbing main event
Caesar knew that people were conspiring against him and that they wanted to kill him but he ignored the warnings bc he basically went: i don’t care if they plan to kill me, they don’t have the audacity to actually go through with it
There was a prophecy that Caesar would be killed but he ignored that too
Caesar wanted to ditch the senate meeting bc his wife had a nightmare that something bad would happen and begged him to stay home. Decimus (the third of the main conspirators) convinced Caesar to come to the senate meeting
There were about 60 conspirators who agreed to help kill Caesar, the rest of the senators just stood by during the murder, no one really tried to help him
Riots broke out after the murder because the population generally liked Caesar
Caesar’s body was later burned at the stake
Nothing changed politically speaking because the conspirators failed to actually take over the government -> Brutus and Cassius (and many of the other conspirators) had to flee
Some sources say that Brutus was haunted by Caesar’s ghost and later impaled himself on his own sword to escape the guilt said ghost confronted him with

CrashCourse had a series where they had Nate Shapiro from Jackbox/YDKJ talk about history of game shows. I have been cramming way too much for pre-thanksgiving break exams, lol.

It was November--the month of crimson sunsets, parting birds, deep, sad hymns of the sea, passionate wind-songs in the pines. Anne roamed through the pineland alleys in the park and, as she said, let that great sweeping wind blow the fogs out of her soul.
— L. M. Montgomery, Anne of Green Gables
