[gorbo-longstocking]

i’m thinking about time traveled yn x geta & caracalla from gladiator 2…… like

picture this: you’re a prodigy medical student about to graduate top of your class when boom. day before the big day, you’re thrown like two thousand years into the past into ancient rome. first of all, what the fuck. second of all, why you?

anyway, you’re a weird little foreigner no one in the nearby village trusts. your latin is shaky, your hair’s a strange color (it’s dyed green, gonna be the only appearance factor stated and eventually itll be grown and cut out) and you don’t know what’s going on ever. why would they trust you? until you prove yourself as a talented physician saving one of the local boys from drowning (yay cpr) and you’re hauled off to the city because you know who needs a new personal physician? preferably one who can bring someone back to life via whatever the hell that display was? the emperors.

anyway geta and caracalla are not particularly impressed with you, but you’ll do for now. until they find someone better. you’re not a citizen, but if you treat them well, perhaps they will grant you citizenship. they dangle it over your head like they would a treat for a dog, much to your dismay.

geta starts up with the nickname “alga,” (meaning seaweed in latin) mostly to be mean, which caracalla thinks is funny enough to pick up for himself too. geta started it because your green hair reminds him of seaweed and he’s kind of a mean little prick, and caracalla joins in because he dislikes your actual name. it’s too weird and foreign for him, he likes “alga” better. you’re welcome.

anyway just thinking about having to live life in their stupid little palace with the worlds meanest two little kitties of men are both vying for your attention and schoolyard bullying you to show you they like you. eventually, they get all doting, but for AT LEAST a few months theyre flicking wads of paper at you and calling you stupid to get your attention. all while you’re experiencing hell emotions because you’re stuck in ancient rome with the two worst people you’ve ever met who won’t leave you alone. surely they won’t grow on you like mold.

surely.
