#first time in rome

[sforzesco]

some "new" designs for different crassus and pompey, specifically for a side project I've been playing with that's so removed from anything relevant (action/adventure/horror standalone story lmao) that they kind of needed their own thing. this story's pompey has a neck scar from an Incident™, crassus has shorter hair and wears (checks notes) jewelry sometimes.

Thinking…. Plotting, perhaps…. Scheming, even…. Brainstorming, if you are so inclined.

I went to a museum today (had a blast) and now I’m thinking of François’ childhood. Which means I’m also thinking about his papa.

Designs not final! I won’t tag this properly, but reblogs are welcome. I just felt like sharing this

I SAW FIRSTKHAO IN REAL LIFE FACE TO FACE AND I DON'T THINK I PROCESSED IT YET

The Fan meet was so fun! they are the cutest beans and I love them and literally witnessing the love stare they do irl was incredible, I also EarthMix and they are so funny and energetic, it was such a great experience

Also FirstKhao basically only spoke in english and didn't even need the translator for the questions most of the time I was so proud and impressed🥹🥹🥹🥹

I am so happy I went to the RomeFM

What if Chris doesn't show up at Clarisse's house pre botl? What if he's guided (maybe by Hermes) to Connor and Travis' instead?

Chris, who is to me at least implied to be unclaimed as yet in the show, who is suffering severely mentally as a result of what he endured alone in the labyrinth, shows up on Connor and Travis' doorstep. They haven't seen him in years now, not since he ditched camp to follow Luke to Kronos. He's clearly unwell and barely recognises them. They worry it's a trick, and that's when Chris is claimed by Hermes. The Stolls decide to take the risk, well Connor mainly does; Connor has more faith in Hermes than Travis ever did. They bring Chris to camp, where they and Clarisse try to help him, to keep him going until Mr D returns. Mr D does save the day, Chris' mind is restored, but then there's the hard part. The initial distrust, the slow and painful path to reconciliation and redemption. If done right, it could be a banger of an arc.

It gives a reason a better reason for why Katie accuses Travis of being the spy in tlo; "you brought your brother - who wasn't claimed until recently and only you and Connor saw it - to camp after he showed up apparently randomly at your doorstep? After he joined Luke - your other brother - and Kronos? After he went on a mission to try and use the labyrinth to destroy camp?" Travis, of course, wasn't the spy, but at least there's a reason for suspicion on the others' parts outside of 'he's Luke's brother' (which is the general consensus and interpretation from the fandom, which never really made sense to me as Luke had left camp four years before tlo and there's a high chance Katie wasn't even at camp at that point).

They've already started by introducing Chris so early, but I hope they expand his story and the Stolls' roles, especially in botl and tlo. Let them have complicated feelings about Luke. Let them mourn him, and let them hate him. Let the angst hit.

every time i get curious and go into the tags of more recent riordanverse installments i'm happier with my choice to disregard everything after the last olympian because holy SHIT rick riordan just doesn't know when to fucking quit. maybe like, 8% of hoo is canon to me. i never finished toa. i barely remember mcga. and i never intend to read tsats or cotg. rick riordan never published anything after the last olympian, what are you guys talking about haha

"The outer reaches of space remain unexplored by humankind to this day, but its greed is relentless. We grasp and yearn and hunger for knowledge— answers to questions we cry out into the endless void expecting to understand, expecting the stars to respond. The stars will not, but one day something else will— and we will not like what it has to say." — Rome Solomon, Beyond the Exosphere (1965)

Dreamt of a BuckTommy ancient Rome AU where Tommy is a Centurion (named something like Tiberius or close to his name) and Buck is a young Gael warrior (named Eogan) who was captured during a roman raid. Anyway, Eogan is feral at first and they don't understand each other because they don't speak the same language and also, Tiberius is roman so Eogan hates his guts but there's something about the square man in the red cape, how he cares, how there's a question in his eyes, a desire to leave this campaign, leave Rome, leave it all, and for Tiberius it's the same, he had never really wanted for anything, or even anyone until he met this ragged, savage warrior, covered in blood and mud with his twisting tattoos and warpaint, and still the ghost of a boy hidden behind his hardened features.

i tried actual animation and it's safe to say; never again

anyway here's an unserious animatic of the satirical genius emperor (caligula), the deranged theatre kid emperor (nero) and that one emperor who really just wanted to be a gladiator (commodus) in that order.

The Doctor (not counting the Dell adaptation of the non canon Doctor Who and the Daleks film) made his first American comic appearance in Marvel Premiere 57#, Dec 1980. The story and art weren't original to this edition, but were taken from the UK comic Doctor Who Weekly issues 1, 2, 3, and 4. Marvel did add some supplementary art that was new to introduce the franchise including The Five Doctors (William Hartnell, Patrick Troughton, Jon Pertwee, Tom Baker, and non-canon Peter Cushing), Who is the Doctor (included an article explaining Doctor Who), TARDIS and K-9, and the Doctor's Most Fearsome Foes. ("Doctor Who and the Iron Legion parts 1 - 4", Marvel Premiere 57#, Marvel Comic Event)
