This may have already been pointed out, but something just dawned on me. dÉŻnÉč⊄ has compared himself to Jesus several times.
This of course is an utterly ridiculous, stupefying, and absurd comparison; Even if you think poƃ is pretend. He’s compared himself to an ideal. An ideal that’s been co-opted & rewritten to fit an agenda.
I digress
Still, I think we ought to entertain him at this play-pretend-savior game because


 it’s almost Easter.
We got this. Vox Populii, correct?
Pilate us away from all this!

lmao the rival dynasts are fighting and they're fucking it up for everyone else at a record pace
this tweet made me laugh, and I frequently make political comparisons between these specific groups of people, so now it's finally a comic
regarding the OctavianOctaviaAntony Uniteam Alliance
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Octavia Minor and the Transition from Republic to Empire, Katrina Moore
in the red panel, which is an obvious anachronistic soup of events happening all at once: we have on the left: messalla corvinus
Tumblr media
Alternative Memoirs: Tales from the ‘Other Side’ of the Civil War, Kathryn Welch
and then octavia (in despair & weaponizing that sacrosanctity to turn rome against antony), some kids (the two closest to antony are the twins, but tbh you can just kind of. pick whoever from the soccer team of kids antony had)
octavian and antony's back and forth is referencing suetonius augustus 68 and 69 (specifically: Antony also writes to Augustus [...] "What has made such a change in you? Because I lie with the queen? She is my wife. Am I just beginning this, or was it nine years ago? What then of you — do you lie only with Drusilla? Good luck to you if when you read this letter you have not been with Tertulla or Terentilla or Rufilla or Salvia Titisenia, or all of them. Does it matter where or with whom you take your pleasure?") and also the whole. thing. about antony's will. that sure was something.
the herod comment from kleopatra is referencing all of this
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Mark Antony: A Biography, Eleanor Huzar
AND FINALLY. the art in the inset panels are from The Roses of Heliogabalus, Lawrence Alma-Tadema

lil scenario where Templar gets HRE'd (same body, different person headcanon) so he's now the Order of Christ (one of the successors of the KT), and doesn't remember anything b4 the disbandment of the Templars bc he's not Templar anymore (technically). 
Anyway, cue Veneziano and Prussia bonding/drinking themselves to shit bc of their childhood/first loves.
🇼đŸ‡č:"I see him, and I love him still, but I know it's not really him, and it hurts to see his face and know that he isn't the one I fell in love with all those years ago." *incoherent sobbing*
đŸ„:"Fuck, pass the bottle, Vene."
°°°
đŸ„:"It's just so unfair after not seeing him for so long, after mourning his death, and then he suddenly shows up with a new name and looks at me as if we've never met before. He used to look at me with so much love and I thought I'd never see him again, but seeing him regard me as just some other guy– Mein Gott, death would've been a more merciful option than whatever this is." *smashes bottle on the ground*
🇼đŸ‡č:"End our suffering. Dio mio, basta porre fine alla nostra sofferenza!" *wails and punches a wall*
tbh I like both the amnesiac hc and the same body, different person hc bc both are just filled with so much angst potential ✹

Roman polytheism is so very fascinating to me. It's unfortunately misunderstood by a lot of people as some kind of "rip-off" of Greek polytheism when in fact, it finds its source in so many different influences from all around the Mediterranean. If you are a roman polytheist, you are valid and you have all my respect.

Your last Nanami pic had me yearning for more Nanami but with Higuruma together 😼 if you want to make a doodle of them.
(Lives in a shipping dream where those two responsible adults do responsible adults things but together.)

It’s midnight and I haven’t shared a thought in a while so have this
Part 1, Part 2
So not me coming back from the dead just to talk about the new characters, Gidel and Fellow Honest.
Like most people, I fell in love with these two when they were finally revealed but something about their appearances reminded me of a certain duo

And I couldn’t think of it until now: ROMAN TORCHWICK AND NEOPOLITAN‌
This might just be my delusional ass talking but let me explain.
- Both consists of a sexy and dapper redhead with long luxurious lashes, and fights/welds a cane.
- Both also have a short sidekick that’s mute.
- Are con artists (probably some tragic backstory behind it).
- Both duo have a familial relationship with each other.
- Allude to similar fairytales, Pinocchio in this case.
- Have beef with teenagers.
I could list more but since this event literally just came out, imma have to slow my ass down 💀 Thanks for coming to my Ted Talk tho

Btw if TWST decides to do English dub, PLEASE have Fellow share the same VA as Torchwick, IM BEGGING YOU 🙏

It’s a little bit ‘I was the match and you were the rock, maybe we started this fire/We sat apart and watched all we had burn on the pyre,’ and ‘Do you understand that we will never be the same again?’ from Bastille’s The Things We Lost In The Fire
and a little bit:
‘A l’instar de son aĂźnĂ©, Caius Antonius sait se montrer dĂ©licieux. Il est cultivĂ©, intelligent, plein d’esprit, gracieux, amiable. Surtout, il appartient Ă  la mĂȘme gĂ©nĂ©ration que Brutus, au mĂȘme milieu. Depuis le dĂ©part de Cassius pour l’Orient, il y Ă  quatre mois, Marcus a vĂ©cu avec des hommes dont il pourrait ĂȘtre le pĂšre, ou avec les soldats, des bas officiers plus ĂągĂ©s mais qui ne sont pas de son monde.’
and also
‘En juin, Cassius a enlevĂ© LaodicĂ©e et dĂ©finitivement dĂ©fait les forces de Dolabella. Jugeant les autres Ă  sq propre mesur, le beau Publius Cornelius s'est souvenu de ce qu'il avait fait subir Ă  Trebonius
Cassius passant pour un homme violent et rancunier, pour un ami fidĂšle aussi, Dolabella s'est dit qu'il allait payer la mort horrible de l'ancien gouverneur.’
Brutus: Assassin par idéal, Anne Berner
actually it’s mostly about how my entire playlist for the road leading up to Philippi (after both Brutus and Cassius leave Rome after the assassination of Caesar) is Bastille’s Bad Blood album on repeat. I want their relationship to get messy. There’s another version of this scene that gets a lot more teeth to the subtext of the conversation, but I wanted to play around with it first before committing to like. room layouts. there was originally a couple of transitional panels before the last 2 because I wanted Brutus to really chew on this thought he has, but augh. stairs. didn’t feel like drawing those.

I just realised that Hawk probably did get to live his dream of a free bachelor life in Italy in the end. Where he can "eat what he wants and fucks who he wants." No Lucy, no kids, no prying eyes. Skippy was never originally part of that happy ending and now he definitely won't be.
