I saw someone headcanoning that the twins (especially Geta who is more aware of these things, though maybe Caracalla too kinda earlier on before his illnesses really took over) were probably at least a little bit insecure of the fact that they were ginger bc it wasn't common in Rome and they probably resembled the more barbaric people from Europe whom they were fighting off instead of their own people and now I legitimately cannot stop thinking about it.

#disaster's posts #thoughts and feelings gangalang?#geta #emperor geta #gladiator ii #gladiator 2 #i personally think that geta is probably more aware of it #idk i feel like caracalla doesn't care as much - or he just doesn't think of it #especially as his illness worsens #but maybe i just dk enough about roman culture maybe they would've liked it bc it made them 'different' from the rest #and maybe singled them out as emperors and vessels of the gods or smth #but yeah from a purely ooutsider pov i feel like maybe it did not help the two of them gain any popularity amongst their ppl #and i feel like geta (who is prolly more aware of the people's distaste sometimes) knows this #and therefore is more insecure about it for a while
