2025's ides of march illustration!

I've been doing one a year since the 2022 presidential election*, so. you know! keeping up with the thematic tradition. sometimes politicians compare themselves to caesar crossing the rubicon and you just gotta. process that. do an annual re read of a bunch of different literature that use the ides as their stage. go through commentary on dante's divine comedy. watch a production of julius caesar. for unrelated reasons, ofc.

(*other countries besides america have elections)

it's also funny how people will debate whether or not the optimates/conspirators/whatever were ungrateful assholes in my inbox whenever I post one of these, like the ides of march hasn't been a well established narrative that people have been using to explore other stuff for centuries. take it to an academic conference! we have empire and autocracy and absolutely batshit press conferences to discuss!!

and as always, some reading material! for fun and whimsy. for more on brutus as an established allegorical figure:

The Brutus Revival: Parricide and Tyrannicide During The Renaissance, Mafredi Piccolomini

and on roman conspiracies narratives

Conspiracy Narratives in Roman History, V.E. Pagan

The Heart Killers EP3 | Kantbison + Straddling

[journey-to-the-attic]

Imagine that the brothers start getting like phantom feelings via the pacts. IK is in the human realm and she bashes her shin and Satan just abruptly stops in the hallway to vigorously rub away a bruise that will never form

A car speeds by *way* too fast while it's her turn to cross a road and Asmo's heart leaps into his throat for a second

IK sees an absolute unit of a cat walk by and she thinks "so fat" so intensely and with such passion that Mammon says it out loud, and depending on who he says it in front of he ends up with very different outcomes to his day

LOVE IT, absolutely canon

ik gets winded by a cricket ball during pe, at the same time that the school council is giving some a big important presentation, and all seven brothers simultaneously double over on stage. she's helping her dad cut onions and lucifer finds himself tearing up over his paperwork. she watches a funny video and belphie starts giggling in his sleep

would the selection have a pattern or would the phantom feelings be distributed randomly... ooh or maybe it'd be funny if there was some kind of regularity, but without a real pattern - like, for levi it's always on a tuesday, anything associated with high temperature gets sent to asmo, beel always gets feelings that occur on the left side of her body...

having hypermobility is so stupid. like yeah there's the chronic pain, the subluxations, the limits on physical activities, the assorted comorbidities, the metal plates they keep having to put in my body to stop my bones from wandering around, etc etc. the biggest tragedy however is that when i show up to the function and someone asks what's up with the new wrist brace, i get to go through a whole moral crisis trying to decide if im gonna lie & say something cool like "kick flip gone wrong" or if i want to look my friends and family in the eye and admit "got up out of a chair too fast"

As I'm getting accustomed to using a wheelchair for this mysterious and persistent chronic joint pain, I've been really wanting to put my best boy in one, too. Here's him trying to do a wheelie.
