There were things...people, feelings that he wanted to experience differently than he had before. Or maybe even for the first time

watching bagi's vod instead of live to keep up um. um. at 5:08:10 q!bbh says "i guess you should put i DID like beach vacations, and then there was that one time... i went to naples and that didn't end well..."

UM. UM. CASUAL GOOGLE SEARCH OF "disasters that started in naples italy" AND I FIND.

Q!BAD????? Q!BADBOYHALO?????? just a normal day in 1343 AD for him. nothing we didn't know he could do. just an instance we didn't know of. his disaster count only grows, im excited for his next one. sitting politely, twiddling my thumbs all shy

#goopert talks qsmp #liveblogging #im seeing vesuvius being thrown around and that IS a good one #but i feel like it's too obvious compared to his other references #vesuvius would be so cool it really would i was such a volcano kid i think volcanoes are so cool #BUT.... IF HE DOESN'T SAY POMPEII SPECIFICALLY..... my brain refuses connecting it #edit: WAIT CHATTERS THE REPORTS ARE SAYING SOMETHING I MISSED #APPARENTLY HE ALSO SAID.... that he wasn't sure if naples was called that before he got there #meaning.... ok.... it might be the obvious pompeii Skull Emoji #actually biggest flex to my volcano enjoying brain if he did that SORRY ABOUT THE DISASTER... but that's cool of him

I have thoughts abt the doctor participating in practices that were previously exclusive to members of a sisterhood more than once.

#like yes the whole thing with the sibylline sisterhood in the pompeii episode of nuwho was a joke and he was plenty disrespectful towards #the practices of the sisterhood of karn but like #looking past the weird stuff that comes from sci-fi writers looking down on mysticism and being generally misogynistic (bc I would like to #take it differently for my own interpretation of canon) while also keeping in mind that . yes the doctor is non-binary. no the writers did #not actually think of the doctor as non-binary in the modern sense for the majority of the shows lifespan. I still enjoy the fact that they #couldn’t help but touch on the nature of his genderqueerness/gender-nonconformity. like they couldn’t help it!! it’s always there!! even #when they’d vehemently deny it if asked directly. it’s still there in practice! #idk if I’m getting my feelings across but. idk. even when the sisterhood as a whole rejects him there is usually a member or two that do #extend their welcome to him in a way that feels veryyy.. I see you #and he himself ridicules the idea that their exclusion of him is reasonable. like yes the writers probably mostly intended that to be bc he #thinks their rules are stupid but I’m trans and I say it’s bc he’s gnc !!!!! ‘just us girls’ !!!!! #the brain of morbius #classic who rewatch #doctor who #classic who #fourth doctor #mios

This big boy took almost 14 hours (!!) which I think is about the longest I've spent on an art piece

#it also took several months b/c i had to put it down for a loong time #i think i started it last summer? because i was on an ask the mortician kick at the time and one of those videos inspired this #and i finished it a couple weeks ago #ft my whispers(?) bard i made for a oneshot #i would turn him into a tav tbh b/c im probably not going to be using him for anything else #but he's an aasimar and im still a bit leery of full-on 'add a new race/class/etc' mods #im having trouble with the mods i have now i dont want to Break Something #anyway sometimes my childhood obsession with pompeii & the paris catacombs rears its head again and i make stuff like this #i should tap into it more often tbh #i was going to make the whole wall bones but it looked weird so it's just a panel instead #eoghan allson #dnd bard #whispers bard #dnd character #illustration #digital illustration #my art #my post #artists of tumblr #commissions open #oc art #character art #aasimar #aasimar bard #dnd art

funniest thing about the roman mysteries books To Me is that i read secrets of vesuvius first and like. i was already into ancient rome but i only read it because i was also really into volcanoes at the time and thought oooh i wonder what other secrets there will be. about vesuvius. the front cover of the book was vesuvius erupting so there’s got to be a more secret secret. right. vesuvius being a volcano is not a secret. and then the eponymous secret of vesuvius was that vesuvius was, in fact, a volcano. like even the pompeii episode of what’s new scooby doo put more effort into coming up with a mystery plot. hello???

#the what’s new scooby doo pompeii episode fucks tbh #also my phone keeps trying to autocorrect scooby doo to scooby dio #like cassius dio. new ancient historian just dropped #pliny dying spectacularly in the eruption of vesuvius in roman mysteries WAS however incredible preparation for CLC book 1 #beeps

sometimes you just have to make terrible music with the people you love and things will be alright for a bit

#lissie speaks #brought to you by me on guitar and my mum sister and gran on recorder playing christmas songs (and also pompeii by bastille) #im not a massive fan of xmas songs but making music is so fun and now my face hurts from smiling and my fingers hurt from the guitar #but i am happy 😊 #also that time me and my friends played and sang disney songs w my friend playing the bongos on my birthday #basically making music >>>

im gonna be completely honest man all this donna noble posting is getting to me. ive watched maybe max 3 episodes of doctor who 6 years ago but youre convincing me a little bit to watch more. youve made me insane about these two characters i know very little about outside of what you put on my dash. what are you doing to me

This is the highest honor anyone could've ever bestowed upon me,Laying down on the floor i've reached self-actualization god put me on this earth to make other people on tumblr unwell about donna noble and i've succeeded at long last. go watch 2006 christmas special runaway bride now

#and then all of series 4 of doctor who #actually you dont have to do this. do whatecer. ill be here rotating my guy on this blog 24/7 feel free to observe #and you dont have to watch ALL of series 4 but you do have to watch partners in crime(<-non negotiable) And fires of pompeii And turn left #(and midnight also. donna isnt in this one at all its just the best episode of all time ever) #silence in the library/forest of the dead is also like really fucking good not essential but recommended #and then stolen earth/journeys end is the finale of series 4 and donnas exit i wouldnt actually deem this essential #unless you plan on watching more past series 4 and/or also want to watch the 60th specials. #well its like obviously an essential part of her character journey and the story overall but its also So packed with So Much Other Stuff #like it brings back lots of other characters from prior seasons and wrap up their journeys as well and if youre not invested in those #you just might be confused as to whats going on. its still fun tho but i suspect you get maximum enjoyment out of it if youve watched s2-s3 #or at least some of it #ask #swagyaoi #holy shit incredible url who did you kill for this

least favorite jared harris role

boy that's tricky. considering I watched both The Eternal and The Ward earlier this week (in lieu of birthday celebrations bc of course I celebrate by watching things with my one special little guy in it)... there are new contenders. that being said I think there's two answers for this: actual worst role, and role that is the most painful for me to watch. and it's two different answers actual worst role goes to Older Will Robinson in the 90's reboot of lost in space because not only did they put him in a fucking muppet wig but for SOME REASON they decided to dub his voice??? which is just a baffling choice on the part of the producers. it's painful to watch and to look at and it just isn't worth it like?? why would you cast that boy if that was all you were going to do with him? as for the 2nd, the role that is most painful for me to watch? the man from UNCLE. Look. I came in initially for my man. only for him to have a grand total of like. two minutes of screen time. if that. and it's a fucking guy ritchie film to boot (not entirely derogatory. he has his moments as a filmmaker. but some times I think 'this guy is gonna get cancelled any fucking day now' just by watching any given film of his). so then when I watched it, and told folks I watched it and that Henry Cavil is also in it, everyone else wanted to watch it with me. I have seen this movie a grand total of 5 separate times with 5 different people in the last half a year alone and let me tell you. that's four too many times. not worth it for the sliver of jared being delicious that you get for your efforts of sitting through the rest of a guy ritchie film. deeply unsatisfying fr. never fucking again man.

#similarly tall tale suffers from this as well- but at least he looks pretty in that all evil western dude like #but fr like pompeii was way more fun to watch for a morsel of jared harris bc the rest of that movie is so damn fun to make fun of while yo #watch it. and also the 'my gods are coming for you' line at the end goes pretty hard actually #ask games #fiona thank ye for indulging my being a hater it's very appreciated <3

Man, I was so hoping Amaryllis would be from Victorian period because of her outfit, it really seems similar to that sort of style to me. Or maybe Edwardian, that's already fairly similar to begin with. I everyone so far has had era-related outfits, I'm kinda baffled on this one. On the other hand, the idea of her possibly being responsible for the eruption of Mount Vesuvius is actually really hilarious, I'll admit. And it gives the possibility for her to be a Void type, without violating the game's rules for what makes Void types, Void types (wishing for a curse or misfortune of some form.)

I don't know I have many Thoughts and not all of them are cohesive

#she looks like she has funeral attire almost. or at least the veil gives me that vibe #which is a lil' unnerving given my current situation but it's also really cool #magia record #amaryllis of pompeii #rapo rambles

[ihavedonenothingright]

Lord, what is it with people who claim to like classics, but hate classical languages? Specifically, but not exclusively, people who treat the reconstruction of classical languages as a worthless endeavor. Ignoring the fact that language as a spoken medium is integral to any culture, how is that not in the least bit cool to you? Why don't you want to know what Latin and Ancient Greek and Old Persian might have sounded like? You don't want to reconstruct an accurate picture of the classical world? You don't want to figure out how it all intersected?

I'm not even touching on the debate of whether these languages should be taught conversationally, or solely taught to be read (though personally, I'm in the camp of, "you will learn to sight read better if you also learn to speak.") I've encountered an outright hostility toward the idea of learning these languages from people otherwise interested in classics, and it baffles me. People studying classics at a university level who think Latin and Greek are a waste of time, and theoretical pronunciation, vernacular reconstruction, etc. are all pointless. Who claim this attitude was actually fostered by their professors.

I am um. Well. Angy.

#rant #people get so downright grumpy at the idea of learning new languages in general but they get downright hostile abt classical ones #this is directed at the upperclassmen who told me their profs said learning conversational latin was a waste #like dude idk what to tell you. the grafitti in pompeii isn't formal writing #you do have to learn the chill stuff #classroom-only latin doesn't even give you the ability to read ACTUAL INSCRIPTIONS #also my personal experience with professors has been like #“oh wait i've been pronouncing this word like modern greek. theoretical classical pronunciation is this instead. thought you should know.” #most classical works were written to be read aloud #they were written TO BE SPOKEN #agh anyway dex out #classics #classical languages

I think my hyper fixation with Leonardo da Vinci started with assassins creed but I think there might have been a lil inkling of it way before too bc Leonardo was my favorite character in Peabody and Sherman

And that just subconsciously carried on

#I’m not sure is it hyperfixation at this point #if this has been going on for years and occupies my mind constantly #also Peabody and Sherman has lots of issues 😭 but it’s a comfort movie #I’ll never forget how they used Pompeii by bastille in the trailers and it lives in my head rent free #comfort song ?????? #AND THE FLYING MACHINE SEQUENCE IN THIS MOVIE MAKES ME SO!!!!!!!!!! #me playing assassins creed: hm this is a lil different from Peabody and Sherman #Leonardo not telling jokes is blasphemous to me thinking abt ac Leo

The fact it's 2024 is quite terrifying. I'm terrified haha

#been having an existential crisis the whole day while just sitting at my desk and staring at my screen/wall in sheer terror #also been listening to pompeii for a few hours straight so maybe that plays into it #they put so much anxiety into this song #anyway i gotta Do something #being paralyzed with fear isn't gonna make things better #everything i could do seems terrible but i mean.. gotta do something anyway so why be afraid #it's all equally bad so it's literally fine #(im so good at comforting myself) #void screams #(still got that song playing on loop and i still don't know how to be an optimist about this ahhhh)

“Amara thinks of her time as a slave in Chremes' household. It does not cheer her up to see parallels between her past and that of the destitute old woman beside her. "You didn't start life as a slave, did you?" Fabia asks, perhaps sensing her discomfort. "I can always tell." "How can you tell?" "You still act like you matter.”
