#'thinking a lot of thoughts' a phrase which here means 'im tired of studying italian renaissance era law practices'#twitter got this one but im posting it here too bc. you know. thinking thoughts#me 🤝 brutus: familial legacies pressuring us to behave in certain ways#the main difference is brutus was actually semi decent at following thru lmao#i just kind of refuse to behave as people think i should now#'oh you should get married' no. 'you should join in the religious life so that it can bring status and honor to the family' also no.#i am doing a painting of caligula and thinking about dead romans#also i am both trans and gay and that nixes my chances at a religious career i dont want and also marriage dates which i ALSO DONT WANT#did i ever tell you how i was in kabankalan one summer#just for a day bc i wanted to visit my favorite cousin's fiance#anyway so like. i ran into her mom while i was there. i cannot stress this enough: i had NEVER met this woman before#but five seconds after saying hello she was trying to set me up with her sister's twin sons#on the logic that if i didn't like one i would like the other#like MA'AM IM JUST TRYING TO VISIT MY FAVORITE COUSIN'S FIANCE. YOUR DAUGHTER. I WANT TO EAT SNACKS IN PEACE......PLEASE....#anyway. the snacks were good and i had fun! kabankalan had some REALLY good sweets that i CRAVE. that said:#i'll get married if i ever meet someone who's willing to put up with the fact that im a little in love with machiavelli#forget the engagement ring the only proposal i want is with a replica of the eid mar coin
