CRIES FOR A THOUSAND YEARS
@whumptober | Day #20: "Permission to Die" Gladiator (2000)
#falling on the ground weeping like a widow and never getting up#this brought literal tears to my eyes op#and it hits REAL different after finishing the novelization#MAXIMUS MY BELOVED I CANNOT LET YOU GO#MY HEART JUST#LONGS AND YEARNS AND BREAKS AND ACHES FOR HIM#he is so lovely here#even death doesn't tarnish his beauty#the absolute peace and comfort and serenity of this moment slaughters my heart#he's so ready to die#he's been ready for so long#and now in his last moments he can take comfort in knowing that his sacrifice is not in vain#his family is avenged rome is back in order and lucius is safe#he has done his work and can move on to the afterlife in dignity and honor#i am in physical pain over this op#thank you <3#i will NEVER be over it#i will never be over him#a little part of me dies every time he dies#gladiator
