#OC Titus

[brasideios]

Snippet Sunday

I wanted to share something new this week, because I’m really vibing with what I’m working on (extremely casually) just now. Feeling very chill and enjoying myself.

A tiny bit of background: Titus (Apple-Blossom 🤦‍♀️) appeared as a very complete character out of nowhere in a 2019 thought dump, maybe six pages long. I was just starting to write about Rome at the time, and he was a false start, but I never forgot him.

I started mulling over this false start a couple weeks back, and have begun tinkering with a few small scenes.

So… here’s Titus Lartius. Single dad and dutiful son, who has a lot going on behind the scenes.

The springtime morning was dark and cold. Titus pulled his cloak tight around his shoulders. The sound of rain dripping into the compluvium of his mother’s house was loud in the atrium as he followed Nonius to the front door. He carried a lamp before him, which caught the mosaic into a circle of twinkling stars around his feet. He liked to be awake so early, before anyone else in the house was awake, when it wasn’t so cold at least. Nonius unbarred the door, and opened it, allowing Titus to slip through into the street with muted thanks. Outside, the moon was high in the sky, a fingernail moon on the wane. He adjusted his fur-lined cloak again, tucking his hands into his armpits, and hurried towards home. The nails of his boots were loud on the paving stones, but once he’d reached the main thoroughfare, there were many others like him, huddled against the cold, on their way to a morning salutatio with a servant in tow, their faces pinched in the cold, though some relaxed a little when they saw him, greeting Titus with a respectful bow of the head. Some were his own clients, on their way to his door. ‘Phillipus,’ he said, greeting one of these cheerfully. ‘It’s good to see you. When did you get back from Rome?’ The middle-aged man, reed thin with rheumy eyes, smiled warmly. ‘Just yesterday afternoon. What a to-do there was on the road. Some Capuan, a centurion apparently, had been attacked by bandits, and he’d got together a band of men from the caupona in a nearby town to hunt the thieves down. They were roughing up anyone they met.’ He chuckled, which turned into a cough. It was a moment before he continued, ‘They questioned me and my bodyguard for an eternity, in the pouring rain. I kept saying, do I look like I have the wherewithal to attack a man of thirty-five, in his prime, who’s fought off barbarian hordes?’ Titus laughed along with him. ‘You were fast enough in your time.’ ‘Ha! In my time, but that time’s long past.’ He sobered a little. ‘I think I’m going to take myself off to the shrine of Hygeia, at the thermal baths in the hills next week. This cough, you know, it just will not shift.’ Titus looked at him with concern. ‘You think it’s serious?’ He nodded solemnly. ‘I do; but it’s in the hands of the gods, of course.’

~~~

Oh but I have to add this extra tiny snippet, too, because Titus is a package deal with his son, Quintus :)

~~~

Titus was trying to leave his house, but he was hindered by his son Quintus who, with a fierce scowl on his chubby five-year-old face, had wrapped himself around Titus’ leg. ‘Pater, I want to come too!’ Titus couldn’t quite smother his smile behind his severe frown. ‘Quintus, I don’t have time for this.’ ‘Then take me with you.’ He leant down and scooped up his son into his arms, and held him so they were eye-to-eye. ‘I’m only going to visit your grandmama; I won’t be long, and you don’t really want to sit with her and her boring friends, do you?’ Quintus wrinkled his nose, no doubt thinking of the last time, when he’d been chastised constantly for not sitting still; but he said, ‘I might. Novia gave me cake last time.’ ‘If you stay here, and behave for Anthia, I’ll bring you some cake myself. How does that sound?’ He pursed his small lips and pushed his unruly black curls, much like Titus’ own, out of his eyes impatiently. ‘Alright - if it’s the kind with the almonds in it.’ Titus smiled. ‘I promise.’ He set Quintus back onto the floor. ‘Do we have a deal?’ He held out a hand to his son, who shook it enthusiastically. ‘Deal.’

Decided to do a 2024 Redo of my OC Height chart, redrawing all the old cast and adding in the new ones, one at a time (at least, on discord. Will probably post them in groups of 5 for tumblr). Here's the old one from 2019!

So far, only did 5 and I ran out of steam, 2 old boys and 3 that haven't been height-charted. I'll pick it up again later and add more when I find the time/energy. Also adding their weights!

The text in the image:

Titus: 5'1", 146 lbs Terry: 5'2", 205 lbs David: 5'10", 280 lbs Bourey: 5'6", 125 lbs Jayesh: 6'1" 352 lbs A small part of the reason I'm putting this down is cuz I'm unsure which to chart next, so feel free to drop in requests to see which of my OCs you'd like to see for when I find time again, since interest could help stave off the indecision.

Breaking news: Dymond Joy is divorcing Titus Rawkis.

Hours after Dymond Joy's rep put out a statement that the R&B diva is divorcing fellow singer Titus Rawkis, he is spotted with actress Judith Ward. The singer and Hollywood royalty were seen leaving a restaurant for a "lunch date." Sources close to Judith have spoken about their "concerns" for this new "relationship."

One friend said, "The way they got together is a bit sweet, but I still cannot support them. Titus reached out to Judith to check on Diana - after those disgusting photos came out. Judy was so touched and drawn to him. She's been single for a decade, but he is not right for her."

Fans of Titus have taken to the internet to express their rage. Not rage over his split and rebound. The fans are outraged that Titus is in a relationship! Full stop. Not a care that his wife is reportedly divorcing him due to infidelity. Not a single concern that he was accused of shooting Dymond by Gina Rawkis.

The T-lovers - the names of his fanbase - have flooded Judith's socials with hateful comments and weapon emojis. Titus has not spoken out to calm his fans, and they are full-on pissed that he is not available for one of them to snatch up.

Ending on a positive note, Dymond has shared the first photos of her baby boy. No name has been shared, but her PR team has stated the little guy has his mother's surname and not Titus's.

Titus [Space Emperor Yan]: Tell me, my dear. What is it that won you over? I am well aware the love of most of my subjects is deprived from fear, but something is different with you. Could it be certain... attributes I possess? Namely in the chest area?

Servant Reader, sweating bullets: N-no, your highness. I love all of you equally!

Titus - saddened by their confession: A shame, they're probably the only likeable thing about me. Well, it can't be my personality unless you're a masochist so if you aren't attracted to my breasts what are you interested in?

Servant Reader: ...

Servant Reader: ...My deepest apologies for lying to you, Sir.

Titus - patting their head: Good answer.

I also found myself in a very rare Big Tumby Titus mood, and drew him with his cousins, Joshua and Angelica.

Titus in the 3rd pic is saying in tagalog (via google translate, which is probs wrong): "Yes, I am very full of champorado. No, I do no have a problem."

Famed prosecutor Diana Ward has stepped down from the celebrity trial of the decade: The State vs Rawkis. R&B singer Titus Rawkis is only a witness, but the drama has him at the center. The main question: who shot Dymond Joy on August 18th? As the trial approaches an end Diana has been deemed unfit to prosecute due to some racy photos.

Hours ago, Gossip Queen was given an exclusive from an anonymous source about the daughter of famed Hollywood actress, Judith Ward. A stack of photos depicting Diana with an unknown man is circulating the internet. While the images are steamy, the true gag is that Diana is completely bald.

Diana - who we thought had the same gorgeous blonde hair as her mother - apparently wears wigs when out and about. As a legacy baby and a celeb in her own right, Diana's image has been important since birth. We all remember when Judith called the press to the steps of the hospital hours after labor - like she was that princess she named Diana after.

Now, we're learning the famous lawyer is a wig wearer. BALD! Full shiny dome. And she likes to get down and dirty without her wig on.

The Del Sol Valley District Attorney’s Office released a statement:

"Diana Ward's private life is no one's business but hers. It is a tragedy her life outside the court is being scandalized. She worked hard on this case and will remain a key figure in our offices. Her stepping down is not because she is not fit to prosecute this case as the defensive has claimed. Diana is taking her deserved time. This is a crime and those responsible will face justice."

We will continue to give you the developments of this case. Stay tuned to Gossip Queen for more messy celebrity news.

*Editors note: We apologize to Diana Ward for taking part in posting her private images. This article will not be deleted but will be locked from public view.
