#bc its thematically about people being Too Close which also applies to gothic twin narratives
Text
Arminius and Flavus ARE giving off strong Polynices and Eteocles parallels so the Adjacent Subtext™ is back on the menu
#the adjacent subtext is the incest curse but like. in a thebaid kind of way. you were doomed before you were born kind of deal#like something else before you fucked you over and now you're ruined because of it#which makes rome the oedipus curse. the nefas of it. the more i type the less coherent this sounds#its about the vibes. also cannibalism. because gothic horror incest and cannibalism overlap in haunted house narratives#bc its thematically about people being Too Close which also applies to gothic twin narratives#im saying rome is a corpse that eats people#and its better to bury rome than each other#im also saying someone should eat flavus' eye but that's less of a history thing and more of a CLAMP's tsubasa#made a profound impact on me in highschool
