Anastasios I of Byzantium had heterochromia like some kind of teenage OC, but regrettably it was wasted on him because he was among the most boring emperors ever. his hobby was fiddling with tax policy and accidentally causing riots by adding five words to a church song. they should have given that shit to Heraclius

You know, in all my thousands of years, what happened to Jimmy Novak and his family- it's my greatest regret.
ID: Three digital drawings showing scenes for episodes 4.20 and 14.08 of Supernatural. The first drawing is a close up of Jimmy, slumped down and looking upwards with blood in his mouth. There is text over the drawing reading: "Me, just take me. Take me, please.". The second drawing shows Jimmy with his face tilted up while Cas repossesses him in 4.20 and Jack, also with his face tilted up, while Cas heals him in 14x08. In both cases, Cas is cupping their faces, which are lit up with light. The third drawing shows Cas, expression upset as he looks to the right. There is text reading: "Take me. Take me in his stead. Take me.". End ID.

what a stupendously Byzantine moment. feeling that it’s safe and useful to protest imperial policy, but choosing to go about it in the most expensive, unreliable, and misogynistic way possible
