Roman senators have a biological clock reminding them to die brutally by age 65. If you see him getting depressed, violating the law, or causing political problems it's time to KILL HIM or HELP HIM COMMIT SUICIDE. His intestines yearn for the floor

You either die insisting that Patroclus and Achilles were gay in Latin class because you took “Song of Achilles” as a scholarly document or live to see yourself complain that a tumblr post specifically about the Odyssey did not tag the Odyssey but did tag “Epic the Musical”
#for tumblr reading comprehension purposes these are both actions that I have taken#odyssey#tagamemnon#song of achilles#epic the musical#queueusque tandem abutere catilina patientia nostra

In the Loeb translation of The Aeneid the Latin word biga, meaning a chariot drawn by two horses, in this context referring to Achilles dragging Hektor's dead body around with his chariot, is translated as car, and now I can't stop imagining Achilles driving a Porsche around the walls of Troy, Hektor's body tied to the exhaust pipe
#the translations was published in 1916#so I don't blame the translator for such a funny translation#but everytime I imagine it I giggle like crazy#my friend suggested Achilles would drive a Porsche#the aeneid#achilles#publius vergilius maro#hector of troy#thoughts#trojan war#queueusque tandem abutere catilina patientia nostra

Windy's Transformers OCs + TFsona
I just wanted to scratch this itch quickly after some chattering about them skjhdfshdf I don't draw them enough because I never finish any proper fullbody refs orz
SO AT LEAST! Gonna dump the WIPs for them and talk a bit about each one under the cut for the ones that find them curious x)
In order of date creation from older to new:
SCINTILLA: Kremzeek and main TFsona; I created her in a way that she can integrate into all types of AUs and continuities and interact with any types of characters of OCs! She actually has a reference + info [here].
PITHAYA: Ex-Predacon scout and now Autobot spy; a wild card in general, has an admirable skill that lets her imitate voices and sounds to a T, even recording pieces of audio in her memory. She is gremlin-coded. I created Pitha originally for shipping with Dinobot (failed many times to participate in the OCxCanon week for years... someday).
BACKFLIP: Started as an afterthought when going silly with a mutual's Botbots AU; he is the motorcycle of the "protagonist" and park guard Dave (yeah, THAT DAVE lmaooo). Flip is a daredevil and prankster but stupidly loyal to his hooman.
PATIENTIA: Ex-Decepticon Scientist who was part of a gestalt and after an "accidental" bombing to their lab headquarters, was the only survivor but left by her faction until the Autobots came to her rescue. She hates her alt. mode (an iron maiden) and prefers to act as a defensive wall for others. Obligatory Mamma Bear.
BELESPRY: Ex-Decepticon that had the role of intel gathered, her mind was always far away even if responsible so, defected and now enjoys hunting down and learning about organic alien fauna... and sometimes capturing it for other researchers, not always cybertronians. I created her to hang around TFA Lockdown because I can (but so far I haven't found a way to introduce her to any of the current AUs I share with other creative pals).
PS Thanks to @myrablurple for babbling with me and making me brave to show off these critters a bit!

what if the odyssey read like doctor seuss like. Tell me O Muse! Of a many-deviced man who wandered full many ways, and liked green eggs and ham.
