People who don't read historical RPF will never know the joys and delights of reading through 3+ Wiki pages, 5 JSTOR articles and looking at at least 2 separate family tree diagrams to determine just how problematic their ship is

Tumblr media
[image description under the cut]
Image Description:
An iteration on a popular meme format, edited to include figures from Roman history. The original version of the meme is a crudely drawn MS paint illustration of a sad looking dude standing in the corner of a party looking on as people dance and have a good time. The meme always includes the text "they don't know" over the man's head, showing his thoughts. And then when someone edits the meme, they add onto that phrase. In this iteration, the heads of the illustrated people have been replaced with cropped photos of heads from ancient Roman sculptures of famous people.
The man in the corner is now Augustus (Octavian) Caesar and he is labeled "Octavian about to absolutely wreck everyone's shit." The text above his head reads "They don't know I'm the scariest bitch in the Mediterranean." His eyes are glowing red.
At his feet lays the dead body of Julius Caesar, cropped from a painting and covered in crudely-added digital blood. A label pointing to the body reads, "Julius Caesar (super assassinated)".
The crowd of people that Octavian is looking at is labeled, "Lepidus Antony, Cassius, Brutus, Decimus, and half of Rome fighting for control," with arrows pointing to the respective images of those men. A separate label points to the man in the middle of the group and says "Cicero attempting to preserve the Republic".
Next to Octavian is small red text with hashtags that read "hashtag gonna go full Michael Corelone on these motherfuckers" and "hashtag Your Asses Delenda Est." (This is a play on "Karthago Delenda Est", which means "Carthage Must Be Destroyed" in Latin and was a very memorable political slogan in Roman history leading up to the utter destruction of the city of Carthage. This phrase was so memorable, in fact, that the English speech-to-text program I use recognized the phrase and spelled it correctly on my first attempt! Which is very unusual for a Latin phrase that has absolutely no modern-day uses!)

Steal the look: Revolutionary Wars edition
I have a day off. I should be working on my thesis.
My stupid ass decided it would be a great day to recreate the Ney’s portrait with the stupidest hairstyle ever. Like seriously what even are those pigtails.
Sad thing is that I’m around the same age as he is on this portrait and my hairline looks worse
(Feat my Darkling cosplay tunic, because I don’t have the uniform at home, which might be a bit surprising)

Bonus: The moment I realised my stupid decision:
Tumblr media
Time to get a TikTok and do those hairstyle makeup tutorials. I have almost no hair and almost zero makeup skills.
