imagine this: you're the baddest bitch in the Roman Republic. you have spent the past few decades fighting, fucking and planning to take control of the known world. you've killed millions of people. you became the fucking pontifex maximus and used some guy's idea to reinvent the calendar. you were the first roman to have a terrible vacation experience in the UK. you won a civil war. your best friend likes to commission naked statues of you and stand in front of them calling you a king at parties.
it's the 15th March 44 b.c.e and life is good. the people love you and you just became a dictator for life. you leave your mansion, ignoring your wife's pleas for you to stay (venus above that woman is in love with you) and shake off the soothsayer who keeps following you around and talking about your doom (spurinna is obsessed with you). you swagger into work, sit down, and are immediately stabbed by a bunch of your coworkers. you stagger around for a bit feeling sorry for yourself, before collapsing down dead at the statue of the guy that you had that civil war against. what a way to go.

me studying history (reading everything in World of Thedas about the Tevinter Imperium) the night before the exam (two months before the release of Veilguard)
#dragon age: the veilguard#squirrel plays datv#dragon age#veilguard#okay so DARINIUS -not to be confused with DANARIUS- unified the Tevinter empire but in WHAT year#and of course you'd do well not to confuse THALSIAN and THALASIAN or CALPURNIA priestess of Dumat and CALPERNIA head of the Venatori#also the KINGDOM of Tevinter is not the same as the Tevinter IMPERIUM because the KINGDOM predates the EMPIRE#and also existed alongside Neromenian and Quarnius hence the KINGDOM having had a queen and not an archon#this is fine my girl is just going to be shit at history and politics i think#yeah so sorry she's just stupid#she was born and raised in Minrathous but she wouldn't know Tilani from Titus#(that's a lie she's a Shadow Dragon she needs to know these things FUCK)#oc: verbena mercar

Summaries under the cut
Fairyland by Catherynne Valente
Twelve-year-old September lives in Omaha, and used to have an ordinary life, until her father went to war and her mother went to work. One day, September is met at her kitchen window by a Green Wind (taking the form of a gentleman in a green jacket), who invites her on an adventure, implying that her help is needed in Fairyland. The new Marquess is unpredictable and fickle, and also not much older than September. Only September can retrieve a talisman the Marquess wants from the enchanted woods, and if she doesn’t . . . then the Marquess will make life impossible for the inhabitants of Fairyland. September is already making new friends, including a book-loving Wyvern and a mysterious boy named Saturday.
Beyonders by Brandon Mull
Jason Walker has often wished his life could be a bit less predictable--until a routine day at the zoo ends with Jason suddenly transporting from the hippo tank to a place unlike anything he's ever seen. In the past, the people of Lyrian welcomed visitors from the Beyond, but attitudes have changed since the wizard emperor Maldor rose to power. The brave resistors who opposed the emperor have been bought off or broken, leaving a realm where fear and suspicion prevail.
In his search for a way home, Jason meets Rachel, who was also mysteriously drawn to Lyrian from our world. With the help of a few scattered rebels, Jason and Rachel become entangled in a quest to piece together the word of power that can destroy the emperor, and learn that their best hope to find a way home will be to save this world without heroes.
The Missing by Margaret Peterson Haddix
Thirteen-year-old Jonah has always known that he was adopted, and he's never thought it was any big deal. Then he and a new friend, Chip, who's also adopted, begin receiving mysterious letters. The first one says, "You are one of the missing." The second one says, "Beware! They're coming back to get you."
Jonah, Chip, and Jonah's sister, Katherine, are plunged into a mystery that involves the FBI, a vast smuggling operation, an airplane that appeared out of nowhere - and people who seem to appear and disappear at will. The kids discover they are caught in a battle between two opposing forces that want very different things for Jonah and Chip's lives.
Do Jonah and Chip have any choice in the matter? And what should they choose when both alternatives are horrifying?
The Hundred and One Dalmatians by Dodie Smith
Pongo and Missis had a lovely life. With their human owners, the Dearlys, to look after them, they lived in a comfortable home in London with their 15 adorable Dalmatian puppies, loved and admired by all. Especially the Dearlys' neighbor Cruella de Vil, a fur-fancying fashion plate with designs on the Dalmatians' spotted coats! So, when the puppies are stolen from the Dearly home, and even Scotland Yard is unable to find them, Pongo and Missis know they must take matters into their own paws!
Tales of Magic by Edward Eager
Four children wish on a Half Magic coin that gets their mother Alison half-way home, rescued by Mr Smith. Mark's wish zaps them to a desert without island, where half-talking cat Carrie gabbles to a camel. Romantic Katherine battles Launcelot. Eldest Jane rejects siblings for another family. Stubborn youngest, Martha, causes a riot downtown.
Bambi by Felix Salten
Bambi's life in the woods begins happily. There are forest animals to play with -- Friend Hare, the chattery squirrel, the noisy screech owl, and Bambi's twin cousins, frail Gobo and beautiful Faline.
But winter comes, and Bambi learns that the woods hold danger -- and things he doesn't understand. The first snowfall makes food hard to find. Bambi's father, a handsome stag, roams the forest, but leaves Bambi and his mother alone.
Then there is Man. He comes to the forest with weapons that can wound an animal. He does terrible things to Gobo, to Bambi's mother, and even to Bambi. But He can't keep Bambi from growing into a handsome stag himself, and becoming...the Prince of the Forest.
Ballet Shoes by Noel Streatfield
Pauline, Petrova and Posy are orphans determined to help out their family by attending the Children's Academy of Dancing and Stage Training. But when they vow to make a name for themselves, they have no idea it's going to be such hard work! They launch themselves into the world of show business, complete with working papers, the glare of the spotlight, and practice, practice, practice! Pauline is destined for the movies. Posy is a born dancer. But practical Petrova finds she'd rather pilot a plane than perform a pirouette. Each girl must find the courage to follow her dream.
Rebecca of Sunnybrook Farm by Kate Douglas Wiggin
Rebecca’s father had died three years before and the family farm had become heavily indebted. In order to ease the burden on her widowed mother, Rebecca is sent to live with her lonely aunts at their farm and there she spends the next seven years till she becomes an adult. Rebecca brings her youthful enthusiasm and imagination to their quiet life and often clashes with her stern Aunt Miranda. Yet, Rebecca finds love and acceptance with her Aunt Jane and she grows up to be a proper and intelligent young lady who never loses her sunny outlook and kind heart.
Just Ella by Margaret Peterson Haddix
Being a princess isn't all that...
You've heard the fairy tale: a glass slipper, Prince Charming, happily ever after...
Welcome to reality: royal genealogy lessons, needlepoint, acting like "a proper lady," and—worst of all—a prince who is not the least bit interesting, and certainly not charming.
As soon-to-be princess Ella deals with her new-found status, she comes to realize she is not "your majesty" material. But breaking off a royal engagement is no easy feat, especially when you're crushing on another boy in the palace... For Ella to escape, it will take intelligence, determination, and spunk—and no ladylike behavior allowed.
The Evolution of Calpurnia Tate by Jaqueline Kelly
Calpurnia Virginia Tate is eleven years old in 1899 when she wonders why the yellow grasshoppers in her Texas backyard are so much bigger than the green ones. With a little help from her notoriously cantankerous grandfather, an avid naturalist, she figures out that the green grasshoppers are easier to see against the yellow grass, so they are eaten before they can get any larger.
As Callie explores the natural world around her, she develops a close relationship with her grandfather, navigates the dangers of living with six brothers, and comes up against just what it means to be a girl at the turn of the century.

The Capp Family Ancestors
I never really touched the Veronaville family but I thought it would be fun to redesign them with more period accuracy. Anyway, I'm not too familiar with Shakespeare, history, and peerage, so correct me if I'm mistaken or let me know if you have suggestions!
Firstly we've got Cleopatra and Antony Capp, the founders of the Capp family. I picture Lady Cleopatra as nobility in Veronaville, as Countess of Veronaville and the matriarch of the House of Capp. Her husband was Lord Antony, Count of Veronaville, who was her loyal supporter and managed the territory and its various estates.
Their daughter, Lady Scribonia, was a sickly equestrian and the only heiress to the House of Capp, which was becoming impoverished. She had an arranged marriage with Octavius, Baron of Monte Vista, an ambitious man from a more powerful but lesser ranking family.
Despite taking the Capp name, his family's wealth and influence saved the Capp's legacy when he worked together with his father-in-law, Antony.
The marriage of Octavius and Scribonia produced only one heiress, Lady Contessa Capp. Scribonia died early on, and left her daughter Contessa to be raised by Octavius and her grandparents, but Octavius too would die.
Octavius' father, Lord Julius Caesar, the previous Baron of Monte Vista and a local politician, was not a well-liked man who was assasinated by his enemies. He left behind Lady Calpurnia, the Dowager Baroness of Veronaville, as his widow. She was the one that arranged the union of Octavius and Scribonia.
Though the House of Capp remained strong in Veronaville, they were no longer considered as true ‘nobility’. With the passing of Cleopatra, Contessa would become the matriarch of the family.
She was known as Lady Contessa, Countess of Veronaville, who was brought up by her maternal grandfather and paternal grandmother. In her old age, she reigned on as an influential figure in the founding of Veronaville and the president of the family estate.
