Allow me, if you will, a moment to go absolutely rabid over your blog and everything that goes on here. I’ve always loved history but the USA hardly likes teaching anything that isn’t American History. I’ve forgotten how much I love WORLD history, specifically the rise and fall of empires.

I’ve been smothering myself in your posts and I love it ALL. JC, Pompey, Crassus, Sulla, Octavian, Antony, Cassius, and Brutus. Wow what a mood. You don’t miss on your references or your modern AU’s and I’m over here like- I’m trying to buy whatever web comic you put out, book you write, etc.

Also, if you’d be so kind to list some material with like themes to start breaking into these topics. Preferably materials in English or translated materials.

HELL YEAH LET'S GO

if you really want to start on the ground floor for breaking into something, I'd recommend my personal favorite approach which is picking the figure that's most interesting to you, reading through plutarch's biography on them (free! online! in english!) and then putting their name through a jstor search and reading whatever sounds fun.

other than that, the primary theme I've been wandering around in lately, so these are the materials I've been really enjoyed related to that:

The Deaths of the Republic: Imagery of the Body Politic in Ciceronian Rome, Brian Walters

The Game of Death in Ancient Rome: Arena Sport and Political Suicide, Paul Plass

Ideology in Cold Blood: A Reading of Lucan's Civil War, Shadi Bartsch

Statius and Virgil: The Thebaid and the Reinterpretation of the Aeneid, Randall T. Ganiban

Rome, Blood & Power, Gareth C Sampson

I also have a comparatives tag where I play connect the dots with texts that made my brain go brrr

#also thank u 💓#ive been obsessed with history and historical non fiction since i was like. five. and my dad noticed that i liked watching documentaries #on pbs lmao #i lucked out: all of my history teachers through highschool were FANTASTIC but my sister's grasp on history #(w/ different teachers) is way worse and she was like. all honors and got a wicked scholarship to a very nice college #idk where im going with that. something about how history is taught with such inconsistency makes me feel :|#i feel passionately abt the subject so i want other people to love it too aughghhhhh #and the way history is taught in schools unless you get a good teacher. is not conducive to this. its a TRAGEDY #thinking about how my best favorite man mabini. ppl not knowing that polio was what caused paralysis in his legs #back when heneral luna came out. (head in hands)#like its good to learn! that was a learning moment for people! but also @ the education department: im fucking coming for you.#IM GETTING OFF TRACK thank u for sending this anon this ask made me really happy to read 🥺🥰💕💕💖💞#i hope you're having a nice day!#ask tag

𝐇𝐄'𝐒 𝐇𝐄𝐑𝐄 𝐅𝐎𝐑 𝐌𝐎𝐑𝐄 𝐁𝐔𝐒𝐈𝐍𝐄𝐒𝐒 𝐓𝐇𝐀𝐍 𝐏𝐋𝐄𝐀𝐒𝐔𝐑𝐄, if he’s being honest. Crime syndicates don’t really have the typical 9 to 5 thing going for them — jobs happen when they happen. Maybe it’s not an ideal life for most people, but hell, it’s more stability than he’s had his whole life. Boss thinks something shady’s going on at the club? He’s there. He’s not really sure when he became some sort of PI or secret agent — but —

He turns his head to look at the guy sitting next to him. He seems nice, if you judge by looks. Kinda got that boy-next-door vibe, and Westley can’t help but smile a cheeky thing that looks more smirk than anything else. He’s got no business with the boy-next-door types, even if it’s as innocent as sharing a nonalcoholic drink in a bar. “Bi,” he answers his truth without much of a second thought, “That a pickup line you uh...use often at a gay bar? ‘m Westley.”

ooga boog black n i g g e r s monkey oooooohhhh ahhhhh

I'm genuinely impressed at how you decided to spend some time of your very much finite life to click on my anti racist tweet, get on my Twitter account, notice that I have a tumblr one, click on the link, see that I have my ask box open and send this thing. That's some dedication to the art of wasting time that you'll never get back, lmao. I'm kinda flattered.

#hamartiask #this guy really thought he was doing something #lmfao #btw hey guys #how are y'all doing?#I hope you're having a nice day!

#sherlock #it might be the cough medicine but I'm really feeling the bbc sherlock wedding episode today #a good feeling ₍՞◌′ᵕ‵ू◌₎♡#like finding an old block of cheese in the back of the fridge you forgot about and its gotten super hard and chewy #i currently have half a block of gouda curating in the vegetable cupboard #waiting #how are you doing friends!! C:#I'm good! I still have the cough but I also got a new scarf #I'm still thinking about buying window colors as well but I am waiting if that is also just because of the cough medicine #I can't believe it's already been a year since I have moved! last year I was doing everything here for the first time #and now everything is happening for a second time! that year was both very long and also happened very fast #our floor in the “office” my father wanted to install still is not completly done but he threw up last time he tried #he did not threw up because of the floor but because every time he does a home renovation project he drinks 3 liters of Cherry Coca Cola #we are trying to not make him drink 3 liters of Cherry Coca Cola but he doesn't want anyone else to finish the floor I think so we just do #not mention the hole in the floor #have a nice autumn day friends!! I hope you're doing well! ( ´͈ ◡ `͈ )#♥

I do have some haters, but I just block them so it's not a big deal. You should block them too, it's very nice and easy and healthy practice👍

#seriously #i hope you're blocking them #instead of fighting with them #people who just want you to feel bad are trash #and they belong into your trash bin #hm #yes #i hope you having a nice day #I'm happy you're back🧡

#spinda #AAAHHHH YES!!! our belovèd spinda. from their café!!! probably one of my favorite minor characters from pmd sky #whom i don't even think was in the original explorers games. i think spinda's café was exclusive to sky. if i'm remembering correct #ly. or maybe that was shaymin village. i know shaymin village was for sure but maybe it was just that and not both of them. either way #have a delicious drink and allow the flower of conversation to bloom! i could quote spinda all day. he had “hopes and dreams” before toby #ever did. THAT'S ALSO like i had no idea what spinda's pronouns were. i kept trying to figure it out because i talked about him quite a lot‚#but no one in game ever talked about him. to mention his pronouns? turns out. there's ONE line of dialogue where the post office fucker in #shaymin village mentions him and calls him a he. i think that's the only time spinda is referred to in the third person with a pronoun #i believe it's when they're talking about like. how you can send gifts or whatever and pick up the characters' responses at spinda's café #which is still a really fucking good feature. of any video game. SEE WHAT I MEAN spinda and their café is just an incredibly good Thing #it's to the point where my home wifi network is named “Spinda's Café Wi-Fi” because i love it so much. so if you're ever runnin around #and you see a wifi network by that name… it might be me! you never know! or… it could be the real deal. the real spinda's café is somewhere #nearby…! ugh. i wish. i would go there immediately #not even to mention all the other shit about this pokémon that's really good. like that they never walk in straight lines or whatever #their little dance. it's just. huUGHKLJKAHJVDHJHDAJSVGD i love spinda. a nice pick-me-up after the underwhelmingness that was grumpig #shake it this way… shake it that way… and stir it all around… and it's done!

Hello @canisalbus, have this wrinkled doodle of Machete

#very sorry about the look of it #it is in fact a little doodle on a corner of a sheet #which I found again because a cup of water fell on my stack of freehand phone sketches #so it not only wrinkled but it also have soggy colors #I managed to save all of my drawings #very sorry it's not a fancy nor high quality fan art #but I through I conveyed well his proud/annoyed look #(sorry not finding the exact word to convey what I'm trying go say)#well. hope you like it.#thank you for your art it's very good and inspiring and you're one of my fav artists #have a nice day

50 shades of Right Hand man :D

Feeling more blue though. Gotta draw more mustache men!

I wonder if every stick man knows how to fight. I mean, we've seen a lot of animations of different stick guys just beating the crap out of each other. It feels like it's in their blood lol
