#for the glory of rome

[loveybirdlt]

Just watched Gladiator 2 and haven’t stopped thinking about it so obviously my mind turned to the cod men and the obsession is now worse, enjoy!

(I may end up building on these for oneshots or mini series for each of them)

Gladiator!Simon x Prize!reader

Silent, intimidating gladiator champion Simon who has done so well in the arena that his keepers think he deserves a prize to keep moral up. The scared thing that turns up in his cell, wrapped in a clean stolla with perfumed skin might be more than the gladiator was expecting.

General!Price x Princess!reader

General Price who has conquered many nations for the Empire of Rome and finds himself having treasonous feelings for the Emperor’s daughter. Her tender gaze turning on him whenever he’s summoned to the palace making the General feel things he thought were out of his reach.

Senator!Gaz x Servant!reader

Newly appointed Senator Gaz adjusting to his estate in the city of Rome and catching sight of a timid yet beautiful servant now under his command. She’s evasive, never seeing her more than once every few days but Gaz is determined to learn more about her.

Gladiator!Johnny x Healer!reader

The woman with the softest touch and brightest eyes has caught newly captured slave turned gladiator Johnny’s attention. Something that motivates him to make it back to the barracks of the colosseum everyday, if only to hear her voice one more time.

Gladiator II | New Trailer (2024 Movie) - Paul Mescal, Pedro Pascal, Den...

Of course I have to post this. This is going to be epic.

trials of apollo but instead of leo getting revived its octavian. calypso not understanding who he is, what he's done, grieves leo's death but doesn't blame octavian.

and then they make it to camp half blood and apollo - his ancestor, the one who had supported him and let him see into the future. a future where the greeks destroyed new rome, one that he had been desperate to avoid. even at the cost of his morality and his sanity.

the same ancestor who had rescinded his support, and octavian had convinced himself it was because the damned greeks were trying to control his gods.

that ancestor was disappointed to see him alive, had been hoping that the other one had survived. and it wasn't just apollo. everyone at camp treated him with varying levels of disgust, every single one of them made it known to him in some shape or form that they hated that he was alive. that they would have preferred him dead.

anyway i haven't actually thought this through, but something about an 18yo who was driven to insanity not just by himself but because of gods who had manipulated and used him. that 18yo needed reviving to a world that hates him, a city that he had wanted to protect which now shuns him.

for funsies make leo's ghost unable to pass on and be tethered to his. or something. have the prophecy force octavian to go along with apollo, meg and calypso to the waystation. have him question everything he stood for, everything he believed in, everything he became. give him a second chance because he was 18 and a pawn of the gods like everyone else.

”💚: What does everyone else get wrong about your favorite character?”

Technically not my favorite character but soooo many people down play how deeply dramatic Octavius is and it’s the bane of my existence. 

Frequently Jedediah is all silly Octavius is just isn’t. But in reality they are both like, equally silly. Equally sincere. Equally melodramatic. And we should let them be that

Oh yeah i watched glad2 due to a fluke of fate and. Denzel is the hero of that stupid ass movie. And mescal handily squandered any goodwill i had toward him after all of us strangers. by starring in this neolib piece of shit

Avantasia  -  The Glory Of Rome

[p-clodius-pulcher]

I say I’m okay but really I’m thinking about how defeat is death and every moment you exist past that is as a ghost haunting your moment of glory
