#my humble contribution#so i actually had a pretty intense Julius Caesar fixation a number of years ago#i came downstairs after a migraine and found my dad watching Cleopatra (1963)#in which I learned that Caesar had epilepsy#the kind of migraine that I get is closely related to epilepsy#so i just. instantly identified super hard?? with this long-dead roman dictator????#i binge read about him for a good six months. fiction and nonfiction. my friends were very confused#so yeah#i mentioned the ides of march in an RUF large group and discovered that none of my peers knew what the heck i was talking about#so when I joined this site and discovered how enthusiastically everyone observes i was thrilled#and continue to be thrilled#the way that this site caters to my weird niche interests is truly remarkable#anyway. happy ides of march to all who observe#and happy death day to my problematic historical chronic illness bro 😂#intertextuality#pontifications and creations#would highly recommend most of the texts referenced here btw#particularly October Horse
