A brief summary of the Julio-Claudian Dynasty

Octavian/Augustus - he has a reputation associated with peace but you will get a little ill once you look at all the collateral damage around him and that reputation ie. It's easy to institute a regime of peace when you've murdered everyone who might oppose you

Tiberius - when a chronic people pleaser finally get into a position of power and still no one thinks they're good enough and they finally reach burnout and fuck off to their vacation home indefinitely

Caligula - the first emperor in the long litany of reasons why people whose brain has not fully developed should NOT be given access to unlimited power. Little Boots is either insane or the absolute champion at taking the piss out of the elite and there isn't really a third option

Claudius - an icon for overcoming disability and bullying and knowing how to delegate administration appropriately. Also this man gave his wives a lot of mobility (for the time) so we stan in spite of the sources trying to smear him for that very thing. Also this man was SUCH a nerd and I wish they hadn't destroyed his history of the Civil Wars but that's the Augustan propaganda machine for ya even near kin isn't safe from censorship

Nero - take one traumatic childhood add a flare for the dramatic and then give them unlimited power before their brain is fully developed and now it's like Caligula but with more pizzazz. Nero is literally what happens when that obnoxious rich kid who's into theater gets absolutely unlimited money and power and nothing to curtail his flare for a spectacle.

«The Knock of horses hooves, is injuring my hearing! »

Said Nero the quotation from Iliad and stubbed himself with a knife on the 9th of June in 68.

There was a mutiny in Gallia. Senator Galba and his legions was moving to the Rome. Nero was going to go to Egypt to have ships and army. Then he recognised that Nimfidius Sabin and his part of Praetorian guard left him. Nero's satellites began to ignore his orders. When emperor was in Servilla's Gardens, he was informed that Tigellinus betrayed him to (we don't know exactly about him) Then caesar came back to his palace, there weren't any bodyguards. Nero went to sleep. He slept until midnight. After getting up, emperor saw there were only slaves in the palace, all his friends left him.

Freedman Faon offered him to hide in his villa, Nero agreed. Freedmen Epaphroditus, Phaon, Neophyte and Sporus stayed with him.

When they were riding horses, thunder was roaring. Escapers heard how soldiers shouted delighted phrases to Galba, when they went past their camp.

At the villa Nero got a letter from senate. Senators called him enemy of people. It meant, that Nero's way to executed would be whipping.

When Nero heard knocks of hooves, he killed himself with a dagger. Epaphroditus helped him. Nero was still alive, when soldiers came in. One of them tried to stop the emperor's blood and Nero said him "Is this your loyalty?!"

And died. He was 30. The last emperor from Julius–Claudius dynasty. The last, but not the worst.

Antony's base camp at Actium. Inside Domitius Ahenobarbus' tent:

Ahenobarbus: (looking up to Antony from his bed) How is your book coming along?

Antony: (thoughtful) Almost finished. I just need to edit the last chapter.

Ahenobarbus: (tries to sit up) Maybe I should write something in your support too while I still can. That will go nicely with your piece. Besides, your followers will be much elated by it.

Antony: (looking sternly at him) Stop talking Ahenobarbus. Only focus on your health. I am not running a cult. I want you jumping and lifting weights before we confront Octavian's ships.

Ahenobarbus: Mark, what if we all die of hunger following your cult!

Antony: (smiling) Then I will join you all before long! Now, throw these thoughts out of your head and rest. That's an order.

Ahenobarbus: Really Mark? (tries to laugh) I suppose I will try my best.

[strawberryona]

so…. we all know her, right?

i’ve always felt connections with odd gross internet things. there was a minute where i was kinda obsessed with her. i’m obviously not a lolicon (give it a few years and maybe lmao) but i do like ryona now so i suppose i understand the appeal, just not with a girl so young. anyways

this song is fucking excellent and it’s soooooooo me. so perhaps i’ll revisit her. maybe i will draw her

Pictured is the original images of the ichimatsu doll used for the infamous creepypasta and screamer image known as dollthing.jpg, used as the associated image for the Gurgles and Bugman creepypasta, and then later as the profile image for the facebook page of "Ahenobarbus Henocied", a page that allegedly sent minors unknown coordinates and gore images. The image was first posted to 2chan in 2004, and from there users had quite some fun with it and eventually edited the image to the creepy one we know today with the toothy grin and bulging red eyes.

The image on the right was actually found from a Japanese yahoo auction.

Below the read more will be the image as we know it now, to jog your memory in case you somehow forgot or haven't seen it. It is quite startling, hence why I'm hiding it.
