decimus wanted to wind cassius up a bit just to see how he would snap

uhhh. what else. you know!! caesar was collecting (and discarding) a new generation of romans, operating a new kind of roman imperium. political manipulation. "good" governance. conspiracies are forming in reply.

the collage art is all public domain/open access stuff from the met collections!

OOH YEAH BABY ITS THE SURGERY EPISODE BABY!!! ME AND THE HOMIES NEED SOME NEW FACES FOR OUR NEW PLAN, AND WHO BETTER TO GET THE JOB DONE THAN THE TWO MOST EVIL PEOPLE WE'VE EVER HAD THE MISFORTUNE OF HAVING OUR LIVES VIOLATED BY? I MEAN IT WOULD BE FUNNY. IT WOULD BE FUNNY.

One of my new co workers wants to come to the science muesums with me and I will be so normal and neurotypical about it

I need you to stick with me here but Jedtavius as Patroclus and Achilles

Sorry I’ve been reading The Song of Achilles and it’s getting to me

Oh... so who's who? In my drawing Achilles is Octavius and Patroclus is Jedediah

I basically redrew that one statue (I know it's not both of them but I liked the pose ok? Forgive me). Also I took my chance to draw Jed's funny underpants to lighten up the mood a bit.

Sorry if this doesn't meet your vision :(

That was a weird amalgamation of 2 different photos in an attempt to fix the original (I literally cropped it, fixed some mistakes digitally and then took another picture of a blank paper to use as background. The things I do as a traditional artist). Here's the picture before I fixed the mistakes .

Usually I am more careful and don't make that many mistakes. But also, I work on bigger drawings like this for at least a week, so yeah...

I wanted to draw the iconic red figure pottery art of them but I felt like that would take me way too long :/

Mari knows enough about technology and the 'cyber' side of crime to get by, but that avenue of theft has never been very interesting to her. The tangible nature of the things she steals is so much a part of what makes the ordeal satisfying, along with all the theatre and pageantry which accompany the heist: physically maneuvering through spaces, sleight of hand, and, of course, the mimicry and disguise in which her expertise lies��the ultimate 'prize,' whatever it may be, only accounts for a fraction of the pleasure she derives from any ordeal.

She'll con well-to-do marks out of their money, without a doubt, and has a good time playing her part in said roles, but she prefers almost any other expensive trophy over simple cash, ( think of these gigs more as the 'day job' portion of her career—simpler fixes to fund her lifestyle between much grander affairs ).

Jewels are a favorite, ( as one might stereotypically expect from any lavish cat burglar ), even better if it's actual jewelry, because she likes to enjoy the spoils of her work for some time after each job ends: wearing the twenty-two million dollar earrings out for a night on the town, or a so-called 'priceless' necklace to the opening night of a local play—so on, and so forth.

The same goes for artworks: Mari keeps a small, constantly-cycling gallery in her abode and spends a great deal of time admiring the craftsmanship and timeless beauty of whichever pieces she's pilfered for a time. There's a small selection of works she doesn't ever intend to ransom back to their original collectors, but more often than not, she keeps them for a short period before finding some equally clever way to place them back in their original care—sometimes at a high price, or sometimes for none at all, depending on the source ( she doesn't want to extort some of the smaller institutions clear out of business, of course ).

friend we're visiting: y'all hype?? how are you feeling about traveling?

me today: [got up, ate breakfast, sat in the garden and painted in my sketchbook, felt tired and shaky afterward]

[thassa]

my therapist deadass is helping me network with one of her old jobs bc she knows that like 90% of my problems stem from feeling like my job is pointless. if that's not a ride or die idk what is

[commandermeg]

If I seem weird today it's because my face is entirely numb from getting stitches.

No, it wasn't something cool like fighting off a horde of villains.

The top shelf of our bathroom closet came down while I was putting away towels and the darn thing got me RIGHT in the kisser.

The good news is: might get a cool scar and my teeth are entirely A-Okay.

[stillshewanders]

STOP THATS SO CUTE THATS STRAIGHT OUT OF A YA NOVEL

Thank you lol (I think this is in response to my story about how my bf and I started dating?) The rest of it was kinda like that too. We were friends but I was secretly pining for him and he was dating someone else. They broke up bc she didn't think they had enough in common and since it was right before Christmas and I didn't want him to be lonely and sad at the holidays, I took him ice skating and to the movies and to the hobby store and stuff like that. He was convinced he did not want to start a new relationship, he only wanted a friend, but then realized that we have a ton in common and he liked me a lot. I was intentionally ignoring his first few advances bc I didn't want to read too much into it and get my hopes up, but turns out he really did like me and now we're dating.

I've seen a lot of posts about Batman using his Bruce Wayne alter ego for the good of Gotham: job programs for felons released from prison, orphanages, charities, high wages for his employees, ethical business practices...the legendary post where Bruce Wayne goes to Wal-Mart.

Thus far I've never personally seen anybody really dig into the persona of Bruce Wayne the Billionaire Playboy. A handsome, rich, powerful man who always is seen at fancy galas, art openings, charity dinners, and wild parties with at least one beautiful woman on his arm.

We know Bruce Wayne is the mask, and its Batman who has a...complex love life, depending on the iteration we're talking about. Talia, Catwoman, sometimes Wonder Woman.

Bruce Wayne's dates, on the other hand, are all "normal" people. Maybe they're an aspiring actress, a supermodel, a prima ballerina, the occasional reporter...and every time there's that bit of nervousness at the start.

Sure everyone knows Bruce Wayne. Everyone knows the story with him. Sometimes his wilder parties make the news, but there's never really been anything nasty reported about him. Never...allegations. But he's a billionaire. He's one of the most powerful people in the whole city, nevermind the country. If he did have some skeletons in his closet. Well. Men with power have a way of making those kinds of stories go away, don't they?

As time goes on the Date's fears dissipate pretty quickly. Bruce Wayne is nothing but polite, kind, and at times charmingly awkward in an 'raised by his butler in a mansion' kind of way with his dates. Some of them can tell he's holding back, of course. Maybe the more perceptive Dates notice he's smarter than he lets on - playing the himbo or hamming up the "know-nothing rich boy" act to the cameras or some of his wealthy peers.

He also listens, is the thing. He's always listening to what they're saying, is interested in hearing about their careers, their hobbies, their lives. Really listens, too. Might refer to something a Date said weeks later off-hand. Buy out the whole museum for a private dinner date with a famous painting from an obscure artist they like, or a private performance with another's favorite band.

He has anecdotes and funny stories for days that somehow says very little about his personal life. The Dates know he has kids (it's practically a running gag in the news that Bruce Wayne has adopted yet another orphan) and maybe she might spot one of them at the mansion, but Bruce seems very keen to shelter them from any intense spotlight and scrutiny, and they all seem happy if a bit weird like him.

Eventually, there's drifting. He's a very busy man, with a very busy schedule. On more than on occasion his nice old butler will call and extend apologies that Mr. Wayne will not be able to make it this evening. Sometimes it's virtually impossible to get a hold of him over the phone. After a while they stop trying. None of them feel quite surprised by that. In the end, it just doesn't work. Sure, he's a little distant and doesn't make himself emotionally available...but he's not a bad person.

Especially when the so-called "exes" of Bruce Wayne start networking. Gotham isn't a small city, but the social circles Bruce Wayne travels in aren't as big. They don't quite gossip or complain about him. More like...who else would get it?

(I touched his side once and he winced...like he'd been hurt real bad there. He laughed and said it was tackle polo. How does that even-?)

(Somehow, after two dates, he saw right through me and listened while I told him what that casting director tried to do. He nodded, gave me the contact details of a law firm, and said not to worry about the legal fees.)

(I don't know for sure it was him, but it can't be a coincidence that my building got bought out from under my shitty landlord and we were all able to buy our apartments under market value.)

(He got my brother in the best rehab program in the city after his relapse. It probably saved his life. We'd stopped dating months ago, I still don't know how he found out.)

(He gave me a card with a phone number and told me that if I was ever in trouble to call it. Said one of his cars would come to pick me up, any time, any place, no questions asked. The one time I did have to use it after a bad party, it was Alfred.)

I think any tabloid reporter digging around for salacious stories or dirt about Bruce Wayne's love life would be completely and politely stonewalled when they try asking his former Dates. Even when money is offered. Every single one of them.
