You don't need to be so formal with "ms doe," Margery is fine. What can I call you?

Ah, apologies for that. In my country it's more common to introduce ourselves by last name first. Though I suppose most people here go by first name regardless. In that case, Margery, I suppose you can call me Kankichi.

#might as well go with the same customs everyone else is #when in rome etc #asks #margery

"I want x spinoff, I want a book about y"

I want to meet the woman who had not one but TWO kids with Hermes. Two kids so close in age and are so alike people just assume that they're twins, two kids who are chaos personified, who singlehandedly run the camp shop, who are in charge of the biggest cabin at camp and look after their equally chaotic gremlin siblings plus every unclaimed kid at camp like Lou Ellen a daughter of Hecate and another being of chaos who learnt it all from them, and who take every opportunity to fuck shit up, to prank their camp mates or to steal shit. Their last name, which they get from their mama? Stoll by the way. Neither child notices the pun.

I want to meet Mama Stoll, who saw the chaos, who saw the bullshit Hermes brought into her life the first go around and said tonight's the night let's do it again. She is either the world's greatest cat burglar who enticed the god of Thieves or the messenger god was enchanted by the best god dam delivery woman on the planet. There's no in-between. It was just a bonus that her surname was the perfect pun. Her and Hermes laugh about it. In my head, it's all canon. Regardless, she unleashed two agents of unlimited chaos onto an unsuspecting world, and I love her for it. I take my hat off to her, I kneel before her.

Oh, and the oldest kid, Travis? He's dating a girl called Katie, who is the daughter of Demeter. Her last name? Gardner. Fucking Gardner. She has a sister called Miranda Gardiner, by the way. Mama Stoll finds it hilarious. Her sons still don't get the pun, but at least she gets on with her future daughter in law like a house on fire.

i have to be the best dressed person standing in the corner of a party like this 🧍

#hmmmm do u know when u have like. Objective Personal Wins but it still feels embarassing #like i went to a party by myself where i knew nobody and i had conversations with four different people #and i had to navigate a stressful transit situation on the way there #and now im going home because i feel satisfied #like this is objectively a win but i still feel embarassed for not like. idk #u know how sometimes u walk into an environment and are like oh. OH. this is a difficult social environment #anyway i think i deserve to callthis a personal win #rome wasnt built in a day and etc #trb.txt #anyway i was rlly hot. not posting pics but i was hot

was the tudors 'oversexualized', or was that just how tv was back then?

#like; there were some scenes i could have done ... without #however i did recently watch the bbc tobg and was SHOCKED at how blue it was #hviii 2003 was probably worse (mainly bcus of the SA scenes; not to mention the 08 tobg movie had that too)#so that's like...all the context of its premiere #i think it was probably viewed more by showtime as staying competitive (rome hbo was just before)#but also arguably it wasn't a genre deviation. at the time .#i find it weird that wolf hall bbc was praised (sometimes solely; it seemed) for lack of nudity #esp when you know the source material #and i'm not even talking about sex persay i'm talking about things left out in the translation of the adaptation #that are like...oh this would push the 'rating'#in the book anne's 'i'm jezebel you see' speech is bookended by her snorting about how catherine couldn't be pushed out a window #bcus she's too f a t #and just his internal dialogue does not make it into script by version of it being...that #if they gave him the line of 'splayed cunt' from the original would it have received the same accolades? who knows #but yeah blue #in dialogue in the books where the adaptation it's not #dark and blue. arguably #shelton saying thomas boleyn would've sold his daughters naked at a 'barbary market'...#etc.

have you seen the new show those about to die? is there any degree of accuracy to it or is it just silly murdercamp fun

I’m waiting until November to watch it so I can do Gladiator II and Those About To Die at the same time. I also don’t watch historical drama for historical accuracy, historical fact isnt even the main thing I judge a show for. it’s maybe the fourth or fifth thing I think about.

#Im not a historian etc etc if you want a judgement on historical accuracy you should probably ask a historian who focuses on gladiators #during imperial rome #I care more about thematic intent and entertainment. i only drag historical fact into this when the story fucking sucks #the only thing i want out of gladiatorial media is some kind of awareness of intersections of power and spectacle at play with the body #like no one is ever going to be starz spartacus with understanding the gladiatorial body so the bar to clear for me #to enjoy it is low. so low.#like pompeii (2014) fucking sucked. I still watched it twice #ask tag

were you a carlando girl?

i love this ask. i cant believe ive been around long enough for this to be lore now.

carlando to me is like that couple you follow on instagram from high school. you forget about them 99% of the time until they post a joint story together and you go wow I can't believe I forgot they were together, cute!!

Back in 2021 when i actively cared about more than 2 (3?) people on the grid, yeah I was.

Mostly now I just reblog them to remind people what side i'm on (the side of the correct ppl).

#it's still the only ship i enjoy for both lando and carlos!#but also all roads lead back to rome etc the 5516s i know of are all pierre haters so it is my method of protest #you'll find 333 and 455 in the pavement archives for sure #nostalgia for 2021 when i didnt have to hate everyone for hating on my girl smh #also some of the best f1 fics of our time are for them. read spy au read princess diana au xoxo #asks

rereading the pjo series with the new athens headcanon in mind its really strange that its not canon like it fits percy and annabeth's characters perfectly and allows people like piper to stay at camp half-blood forever without having to move to new rome. like in canon their only option is to literally move to new rome to survive you think percy's gonna be that far from his mother and baby sister???? a big part of his character in the first book is about how much he loves his mother there is NO WAY he's living away from her forever

#and annabeth doesnt wanna stay away from her either shes the mother she never had #you think annabeths picking her dad and new rome over chb and sally and percy????? no!!!!!!#crunchyposts #pjo #anyways if theres anything you take away from my blog its that i love talking #also when he notices new york is asleep in the last olympian he says “what did they do to /my/ city” its his city hes not staying away #percy jackson #annabeth #this is such an easy fix in my mind though like at the end its stated that theyre going to study at nru. straight up just swap that out w/#them going to camp jupiter again to study things about new rome and nru and talk to people about what they might need etc #they'd probably go back and forth while theyre working on it just to like get inspiration for new athens this is such an easy mental fix #so it bothers me a bit that its not canon but its not hard to imagine it is canon #just change a couple of lines at the end

THEY FUCKING CANCELED TBOYS CLUB LMAOOOOOOOOO

#im gonna fucking. oh my god.#after the TIME ive been having. i had ONE fucking thing i was looking forward to god fucking damn it #pride is literally the one thing that reliably brings me joy i wait for it all year . and i was out of rome during the week with all the #good non corporate inclusive etc events in LONDON with my cousing doing FUCKALL bc she was in a bad mood over arguing with her shitty bf (i #hope jakey dies)#then pride march yesterday was literally so terrible too overcrowded super mismanaged it was my SIXTH rome pride so I know how it usually #goes and it WASNT it . only highlight was hanging out w gio tbh #and the ONE fucking thing i was holding onto. thinking well at least i have this and itll give me that queer joy and communion I literally #hold onto to survive. especially the idea of being in a place where my correct gender is assumed for FUCKING ONCE which NEVER happens not #even in lgbt places. where I could cope with the knowledge i will probably not be able to transition for a couple years at LEAST and if/#when i ever do im in for a terrible hellish situation with my family. and celebrate the now and get hope that maybe its livable maybe i can #keep pulling on this rope until one day im safe and it wont snap in the meantime.#and its fucking GONE. GOD damnit.

/ Mocte supremacy If I must say so myself

#;ooc #ooc #;dl #i noticed a pattern with some of my muses- rulers who faced the fall of their empires-#m.octe; a.rthur; c.onstantine etc etc #knights; heroes; rulers; gods #me: mmmmm interesting 🤔#MOCTE YIPPPEEEEEE #i cannot explain why I've grown to attached to him im #like;; for being the last ruler of the a.ztec empire; doesn't it makes u think how intense that position must have been?#its like with constantine; having to carry the weight of rome on his shoulders #and with m.octe theres a long time of misconception and myths regarding his figure #only more recently has it started to investigate again what could have happened #usually u see him under the common impression that he was a coward and willingly gave away his land but; is that truly what happened??#apecial emphasis on -willingly-#in the codex tlaxcala we can see one detail that might be crucial too; when the spanish brought him to the terrace #m.octezuma was shackled #so him going -willingly- makes u doubt #lots to think 🤔🤔🤔🤔#moments that make me wish i was an archeologist 😭😭😭😭#im gonna ramble about this sometime later but #the point is that at least f.ate wise #he really stuck to me; its an interpretation of what he could have turned after death of course #but the rage; the frustration; the bitterness; that desperate desire to change things; the aspect of a cold trained warrior;#that struggles with his heart still beating; that cold warrior armor that has so many cracks #i love characters that face such strong emotions; that are lost and blinded; that are alone in theur struggles; that bump against walls #and get right back after #the determination; passionate hearts that will fight to the last bit #i think that although in a different scale; pressure and expectations are things we all go through in life #and imagine having been the person who is in charge of an empire? knowing that if you fall; you will fall with your empire?

I say yes but what i mean is that i need a moment to think about where the sun is and then i'll know where north is

My friend just. Didn't know where north was???

#the consequences of reading too much adventure books when i was little i guess #orienting with the sun was like the first thing i learned from fantasy books #or something #if i can mentally see where i am on a map i know off the top of my head where north is #if i dont know where tf i am or am not 100% sure which way im facing i just look for the sun and then i know #yes i know night is a thing but then again its the same for the map reasoning and also the north star is A Thing #and yes in the city you can never actually see the north star proper because of the lights #but if you can glimpse a few stars from the ursa major or minor you can guesstimate as to where the north star is #and go from there #also i am #absolutely awful at distinguishing left and right. i just cant. really really cant.#but the cardinal directions are so mucb better!!!#theyre just there #you dont have to play the guessing game every time as to where is left and where if right and is it your left or their left or some else's #my brain just doesnt do left/right directions #just give me a good old north south east west indication and im set #when i wss abroad in a city with streets built to be on one side and on the other it was bliss #also north entrance and south bus stop etc #cant forget about those #for those wondering im talking about beijing #when in rome i can never properly orient myself while in beijing i was always so oriented #girl scouts had nothing on me #also to yall wondering how to tell if its not dawn/dusk: look at the shadowsss #they'll be pointing AWAY from the sun #if you see the line the shadows change on after some minutes you'll have a straight line east-west #kind of #and if you are familiar with the path is the sun supposed to take at your location then you can guesstimate directions based on that

its so weird to me how people will freak out if they visit a historical site which may have had any connection at all to trans-atlantic slavery, meanwhile every day thousands of people go visit the giant stadiums built with slave labor where ancient romans used to watch enslaved people kill each other, criminals get eaten alive, and animal cruelty be performed on a massive scale for fun and entertainment and nobody bats an eye

#idk like ancient rome esp makes it fully clear that the average person is totally capable of understanding cultural mores #and viewing them as 'normal' within the culture and values of the time #and are willfully refusing to do so Just when it comes to transatlantic slavery #it bugs the hell out of me #either slavery in america was as normalized a part of life as other forms were for everyone else and not the One Bad Thing #that you Must freak out about #or that energy should be applied across the board #you can't go anywhere in Russia bc they used serfs #the coliseum is a place of horror that you can't bear to talk about #don't you dare think of visiting the forbidden city you fucking Ghoul #etc.#like just make it make sense at least for the love of god
