9.117 Play the Game
CATO: What’s wrong with Loxton? He lost his bottle? MONROE: Loxton made a decision, based on the circumstances. It was a valid decision. CATO: But was it right? MONROE: I wasn’t there. I don’t believe in second-guessing my men. Steve made his decision and I stand by that.
CATO: This isn’t a bollocking, Andrew. I just wanted to air the issue.
Aidan Gillen guesting, and Cato driving Andrew barmy.
It’s interesting watching Harry’s episodes, knowing he’s going to be in the DI role for such a short time. He’s always competent and insightful, which I think is his big issue as a character, as he’s too similar to Meadows when Jack isn’t in a shouty mood.

"x reader" Headcannons(various fandoms)
I would like to iterate that while these are all my thoughts and opinions, I understand that I'm not necessarily breaking new ground here and that not everyone will agree with me. NOW, without further adieu....
The Mazerunner
First of all I would like to address what nicknames they would use(baby, honey, etc.)
I feel like Minho would be a repeat offender, meaning he would call an s/o any nickname/pet name under the moon. You would never be able to tell whether he did it to be sweet or just to annoy you.(probably both ngl) I feel like he would lean towards babe/baby tho.
Frypan is husband material(at least in the movies, haven't finished reading the books T-T), and you cannot convince me otherwise. He would call an s/o honey, I will not elaborate further.
This one's for the boys, Newt would call you love, darling, etc.(I'm sorry he's just so British)
Thomas would ironically call an s/o Mommy or Daddy, for the lols(hes just a silly guy lmao). Like Minho he'd probably call you certain pet names like "sweetpea" just to annoy you, but honestly he would most often call you a variation of your name.
Gally would call a shorter s/o shortstack or something of the sort, and he would call you princess if you're a girl. (ik most people find it corny or cringe, but personally, I appreciate it)<3<3<3
Harriet would call you babe, and I have this idea that if you were a girl she would call you mama. With all due respect I refuse to take any criticism of this 😊
Theresa is a softie and we all know it so she would call an s/o honey or sweetie. I'm leaning more towards the latter.
Next I would like to share two headcannons that I physically cannot stop thinking about
This comes from the depths of my soul lol
Minho would pull you in by you belt loops to kiss you. (You're welcome) And the way this thought has me going absolutely feral is illegal🙏
Frypan is the type to hug you from behind, spin you around, and kiss all over your face(again, this man is husband material)
The Hunger Games
Live, Laugh, Love and fear Cato Hadley
The grip this man has on my heart should be illegal
Your honor he's so babygirl(He's my Miguel O'Hara, you cannot judge me <3)
"Look at her, I would die for her, I would kill for her" vibes. I mean it going both ways cause if you like this man, you are also willing to do so. At least I am ;)
I feel like he's very confident in himself and would take any chance to show off how strong/capable he is. Would walk around shirtless and tell you "take a picture, it'll last longer" if you so much as glance in his general direction
In all seriousness though, this man would be an absolute sweetheart to his s/o💕
AFK Journey
Last and certainly not least 💕Merchant Philip💕
If you have played AFK Journey and done the Philip's worries side-quest, you are blessed with knowing of the existence of my one true love
He would be so doting to an s/o, I'm sure of it
He would be completely clueless on how relationships work and he would try so hard 😭
#husband material
He would come home with cool rocks and swear they're ancient treasures
The moment he actually finds his first valuable relic, he would give it to you. If it's a precious stone, he would have it made into a ring and propose
He's the sweetest soul and I love him

In your Au in the future who is Katniss Nepo Baby Everdeen mentor who is also her duet for her performance is it Haymitch, Effie or is it a capitol student a descendant of Sejanus and Coryo and what is Katniss usually like other than being way happier and pretty much getting everything she ever wanted and needed
Oh, Panem, Horn of Plenty. The crack!AU Everdeen timeline is gonna be a mess.😂
Fortunately, Katniss “Nepo Baby” Everdeen is not gonna be like her super famous crazy singing rainbow bird grand aunt (Lucy Gray) because our ✨Girl on Fire✨ will have the same serious personality as her canon self.
But she’s also going to volunteer steal poor little Prim’s spot (out of spite and for fun) as D12’s official ✨Panemvision Female Tribute✨💅.
Unfortunately, Catnip’s greatest rivals will be Glimmer (D1’s youngest and fairest opera singer), Cato (D2’s hottest theatre nerd and rock whispering prodigy) and Clove (D2’s youngest broadway musical genius).
Moreover, Peeta Mellark (who whistles like a pro) will be Katniss Everdeen’s official “duet partner” because her extremely gorgeous Capitol Mentor, Seginus Cadmus Plinth-Snow-Creed-Price (AKA: the gorgeous grandson of Coryo, Sejanus, Festus, and Persephone) got stuck in a dusty broom closet with poor sensitive Philip Anthony Ravinstill-Anderson (AKA: the wacky socialite grandson of Felix and Androcles).😅
Nevertheless, here are some other interesting “facts” in this weird timeline:
1. Primrose and Buttercup (the crusty cat) are the unapologetically ruthless founders and leaders of the infamous Anti-Katniss Everdeen Fan Club. #antivolunteer #realroseofD12
2. Poor Peeta had to fight a jealous Gale Hawthorne (via dance off battle) in order to defend his “rights” as D12’s official male Tribute for the upcoming Panemvision competition.
3. Crazy Lucy Gray married Panini Panlo for fun. She also had a lot of kids with him for fun.
4. Coryo and President Sejanus are still madly in love with each other even after the birth of their 35th grandchild.😍😂
5. Hilarius Heavensbee is the favorite nanny of Sejanus and Coryo’s grandchildren.
6. Glimmer is a very popular opera singer in D1 because of Facet and Velvereen’s influence.
7. Rue can’t sing to save her life because of Reaper Ash (but don’t ask why).😔
8. Foxface is the “Hannah Montana” of her District.
9. Brandy is still a self proclaimed werewolf.
10. Sejanus is still the President of Panem because of Coryo, Festus, Lizzie, Felix, and Clemmie’s collective insistence. #SejiPieforlife
11. Tigris is still a fashionista cheese merchant.
12. Mizzen the Gremlin and Percy Price are still the ruthless rulers of their Pizza Palace Empire.
13. Festus Creed still dumpster dives with Coryo and Pup for fun.
14. Effie Trinket is half Ravinstill.
15. Haymitch Abernathy’s Capitol Mentor, Cassius Perseus Plinth-Snow-Creed-Price is the oldest grandson of Sejanus, Coryo, Festus, and Persephone.
16. Finnick Odair’s Capitol Mentor, Faustina Pleione Creed-Price is the youngest daughter of Festus and Persephone.
17. Lysistrata is still the proud leader of the SnowPlinth Fan Club.
18. Dill is still the Mayor of D11.
19. Reaper Ash is still looking for “normalcy.”
20. Lamina is still crying because of Lucy Gray, Coral, and Mizzen.
21. Half of Sejanus and Coryo’s children and grandchildren have “Complete Heterochromia” for some reason (one blue, one brown).
22. The Plinth-Snow Dynasty is still the most powerful and influential family in Panem thanks to old scheming Strabo and the Grandma’am.
23. Mags and Mizzen are cousins.
24. Maude Ivory is still busy selling and reselling popcorn balls with Mrs. Everdeen (illegally).
25. One of Sejanus and Coryo’s gorgeous sons (Cepheus) married Panlo and Lucy Gray’s youngest daughter (Poppy) because of ✨love✨ political reasons.😏

Any good non fic recommendations?
That depends on your interests, of course. I'm particularly interested in the Roman Empire at the transition point from Republic to Empire (which could also explain my enjoyment of Warhammer, but there may be other reasons for that). And here especially military and everyday culture. I'm less interested in politics, but of course a lot of private matters were also political at that time.
Although I have to admit that this point in time is very soft and fluid. I'm just as interested in the Bellum Sociale and the whole Sulla/Marius tragedy as I am in the later British campaigns. I'm really not being very scholarly here.
A few good books for starters here are:
SPQR by Mary Beard. A quick and easy read and a tour de force through roman history from the kings to the fall of the emperors. I found it entertaining, but you should start with it, since if you are already deeper into the subject it doesn't offer much new insight.
A few books by my favourite experimental archaeologist, Marcus Junkelmann. I don't know if his books were translated into English, though. This guy builds and uses all the equipment he and his colleagues dig up! He marched across the Alps and along the Limes in legionary equipment, fought as a gladiator (various styles) and trained military horses the way the roman legion did. He's fucking awesome!
Gladiatoren. A very in depth look on the equipment, its ties to the development of military weapon and armour from the same time and on the living conditions of gladiators. Very good! If you can read/understand German, this book's a must have!
Die Reiter Roms, part one to three by the same author. So many details, so much context for archaeological finds! So many practical tests! Loved that. If you want to know why a letter from London to Rome took only a week in the first century? This is your book! Interested in the mounted police of the north-eastern border? This book.
A lighter read: 24 hours in Ancient Rome by Philip Matyszak. Exactly this. A whole day at augustinian Rome. With all the religious, mundane and political stuff that happened. You want to know more about roman firefighters? The system of political influence? Medical treatments for the poor? That's your book!
Some more military history: Roman Britain's Missing Legion - What really happened to IX Hispana by Simon Elliott. So much detective work and a lot of context, especially with the fleets, too. Liked that!
That's just a small slice of the cake - that field is vast and so much fun.
But if you are interested in some very good military fiction (backed by the most recent archaeological finds - so constantly changing, I'm afraid), you should absolutely take a look at the "Under the Eagle" series by Simon Scarrow. Very Warhammer in its own way. Great characters! The hard-ass Centurio Macro and the survivor of roman palace politics, young scribe-turned-Optio Cato become unlikely friends. And have lots of adventures. Blood and stuff.
And here's some roman AU Lucius as a treat.

wip inspiration tag — next day after dawn
thank you max @goose-books for the tag!! the rules for this one are list as many inspirations/influences as you would like for your current work in progress, and explain how they’ve shaped your project!
next day after dawn (or, the project formerly known as historieswip) is a second word political fiction novel that's basically a mishmash shakespeare's histories with 90% less battle scenes and 90% more insane family dynamics. after everyone's favourite boyboss war criminal king gets deposed, his inner circle gets locked up by the new regime, and we follow them as they try to figure out what to do next and slowly drive each other insane.
tagging: @wren-is-writing @athenapollo @avi-why and anyone else who wants to do this!
henry vi part 3 (aka the whole wars of the roses tetralogy): there's a reason this project is just nicknamed historieswip. ohhhhh babygirl we got histories and i am not preserving shakespeare's timelines at ALL, i am just throwing those babies in a blender until i get 1. vaguely medieval english political structures 2. war with not-france 3. huge royal family with so much wrong with them. but from the henry vi plays specifically! this is where like half of the characters come from. the prince cyrus/cassandane/darcy dynamic is just the henry vi/margaret/suffolk love triangle, the house of lunares is the house of york: girlboss edition, and everything about the prince cyrus and mona dynamic comes from me Thinking about henry vi and richard iii foils moments. i could say more but we'd be here all day.
henry iv part 1 (and kind of 2): so. king cyrus is hal but that's also so mean to hal because king cyrus is SO much worse. however. he does have the hal backstory, by which i mean he was a rakish little alcoholic prince with a gay little boytoy until his dad died and then he had to get Serious and banish all his besties. and renan is his poins except if poins didn't get banished and stuck as the world's most depressed advisor faking respectability instead. ALSO kane my best friend kane is basically my hotspur <33
henry v: again, king cyrus is basically just henry v with the war crimes dialed up to 11. this one is the main inspiration for his conquering hero era and also the conflict with not-france and the not-french wife. it's also where i stole the title from!
king john: most of the histories i'm stealing from are at least like. connected to each other. king john is not but i love philip the bastard so fucking much so he's here (with extra transmasc aroace swag). that's helios — the war hero king's bastard who shows up to rise above his station and annoy everyone around him. and maybe be terminally loyal to a king who really doesn't deserve it
succession: the elevator pitch for this project is basically shakespeare's histories meets succession. specifically, season 1 episode 2 of succession, where the all-powerful patriarch is suddenly out of commission and maybe never coming back and the rest of the family is left losing their minds and wondering what the fuck they do now.
the hunger games: here's where i put on my clown shoes and admit that. um. you know how i said kane is hotspur. well he is but he's ALSO cato from the hunger games, as characterized in the criminally long fanfiction i wrote in middle school. and drea is um. clove. ANYWAY. thg is also an inspiration in terms of worldbuilding because i'm going for something kind of post-post-apocalyptic where there are vast disparities in technology in different parts of the country after decades of war and inequality. so we get modern tech plus medieval weapons, thank god.
darkling: this is partly a hatecrime against max my best friend max @goose-books because once upon a time i started jokingly shipping the two horrible old men in this book and then got so attached to the dynamic that i fully imported it into this project and made it canon gay. sorry bestie. but GENUINELY darkling is one of the best fucking books i've ever read and such a huge inspiration for how i do shakespeare retellings and also fucked up family dynamics.
gideon the ninth: this book is really nothing like gtn but i have to give it a shoutout because reading gtn was what inspired me to create this project! basically because i remembered how much i love ensemble casts and decided i wanted to write one. there are some similarities in terms of the vibe of everyone being locked in a big fucked up house together and everyone having super on the nose themed names but really just shoutout to tamsyn muir for being such a good writer that she made me want what she had (so many blorbos)
thank you for coming to my ted talk <3

10.135 The Melting Pot
LOXTON: Scandal, isn’t it, lack of creche facilities for house breakers?
DEREK: Don’t want you to throw your teddies in the corner, just because I’ve had greatness thrust upon me.
It's so obvious that Tom Butcher is as good with kids as his alter ego is, because all the ones on the show clearly adore him.
CONWAY: What the bloody hell do you think you’re doing? MONROE: The spare bedroom.
Ummmm?
The perfect comedy episode for Derek’s first day in the top job. Steve + kids is always adorable, and the juxtaposition of the top brass & the PCs at their respective drunken social events is just *chef’s kiss*

"Night Bloom". Anneliese Seubert in a ball gown by John Galliano for Haute Couture Givenchi, Paris, 1966".
Spotlight On Photographer Lillian Bassman :
'Revisit a Lifetime of Fashion Photography with Lillian Bassman" by Steph Eckardt
"As the art director of Junior Bazaar, a short-lived Harper’s Bazaar spin-off, Lillian Bassman spent the early 40’s working with photography greats like Robert Frank and Richard Avedon. Then she decided to pick up the camera herself. Soon, it was Bassman’s own images appearing in the pages of Bazaar—carefully blurred, fashion-focused silhouettes that John Galliano once described as possessed of “painterly strokes of light.” Though she did lose a bit of fire at one point—Bassman destroyed decades’ worth of prints and negatives in the 70’s, even debating abandoning the medium—she stuck with her instantly recognizable black-and-white photography, shooting Galliano’s designs up into the 90’s, even toying around with digital before she died in 2012.

Cato-coding in action: Gaius Silius has just quoted Lucan's Cato from book 9 multiple times (in particular his speech about the oracle), and then stabbed himself in the Senate (meaning that he had a weapon with him there).
In a few lines followed by:
