Brutus: the Noble Conspirator, Kathryn Tempest, Plutarch, Brutus 7 (trans. Ian Scott-Kilvert), The Art of Forgetting: Disgrace & Oblivion in Roman Political Culture, Harriet I. Flower

#hahahaha ha yes....YES!!!!#comparatives tag #i love it when brutus is not. gentle. i want a worse version of him ALWAYS. he's BEST when he's got something kind of awful #around the edges of him #like his legacy of anti tyranny is literally just cassius. it's cassius who commits the first act of violence against a tyrant #in brutus' own biography. that man got cannibalized by his own brother in law

A BROTHER IS AN IMMEASURABLE THING

“We are one. As we share the glory of our victories, so too should we share the pain of our defeat. In this way we grow closer, we grow stronger.”

—and so is forgiveness

Assassin’s Creed (2007) / Sophocles’ Antigone (trans. Ruth Fainlight & Robert J. Littman) / Catullus 101 (trans Anne Carson)

This might just be more confusing than not trying to explain anything in my tlt AU tbosas fic, The Love Perfected By Death, but I suppose if I actually wanted to explain, I would use my own words and not a collage of quotes. (The Locked Tomb spoilers below)

...

"Lyctors," The Locked Tomb Wiki/The Locked Tomb Series/TBOSAS movie/The Love Perfected By Death

Bonus:

(also I don't think that what happens with Camilla and Pal is like ideal/a victory. they were in a tough spot, but I do love them choosing mutual destruction over going on without the other <3. "Camilla Hect, yet another of devotion's casualties" indeed. I'll stop talking before I become a Locked Tomb blog... never going to be over realizing I had Max kill Marius in this though... Imagine Gnaeus begging for death too... and Felix left in the dark...)

#no one asked but i need to explain myself. bookending it with these gifs because i made them. i might as well reuse them as much as possible #also gnaeus eye color mention but i couldn't find a good way to mention that necromancer and cavs swap eye colors after ascension so since #they're related and have the same eye color... it wouldn't change lol. felix-festus are different their eyecolors get to blend #tbosas x tlt #abyssal stuff #felix ravinstill #festus creed #the ballad of songbirds and snakes #tbosas #fic: the love perfected by death #comparatives tag #webweaving

Ethel Cain - 1, 3, 4, 6, 9 // Nicole Dollanganger - 2, 5, 7, 8

#p: mine #comparatives tag #ethel cain #nicole dollanganger #I wouldn't go as far as to put it in the web weaving tag but I kept seeing parallels between these lyrics #I love them both soooo much #honestly kind of wanted to make a better 'web' with nice photos/paintings/screencaps of shows #but it was too much effort. and these lyrics have been saved to my phone for ages

OUR HISTORY IS ONE DRENCHED IN BLOOD

[…] his brother, Paciano Mercado, was a disciple of Burgos, '72 meant for Rizal the childhood trauma of a change of name — from Mercado to Rizal — and the wound was obviously still festering when, years later, he defiantly dedicated his second novel to the martyred priests.

-Nick Joaquin

A Question of Heroes, Nick Joaquin / the trailer for GomBurZa

#comparatives tag #colonial era ph #literally studying the history of the philippines is just. christ. the blood is still wet. the martyred priests. the murder of bonifacio #by his own countrymen. this desire to beatify them and make it something beautiful when it wasn't. jesus wept

It saddens me that Helen of SPARTA is mostly known as Helen of TROY. As if she wasn't born, raised, and most likely, died in Sparta. Yes, she was of TROY for a while...But she was able to go back home to where she WANTED TO BE.

(Edit: Hating on Menelaus is illegal)

#makes me sad that when I want to tag her. it goes staight to “Troy” . Hector. Andromache. Priam. etc. are of TROY. she was only for acouple #years compared to that being their HOME. SHE wanted to go to HER home. MEH #idk what a good comparison would be but maybe like going abroad for job/school/etc. for a while. and then coming back home.#Are you now only known for what you did for a short while away from your home when you've spent the rest of your life home otherwise?#helen of troy #greek mythology #tagamemnon #helen of sparta #Mad rambles #shot by odysseus
