#idk man the romans

[i-bring-crack]

*48 hours after being introduced with a punic war hyperixation* There needs to be a Second Punic War Musical for god's sake WHERE IS HOLLYWOOD---

#idk man the romans #i dont even like the romans #imagine the freaking first song called 'enemy of Rome' and it goes through hannibal's youth in conquering the spanish peninsula #and the blood promise in baal's temple #then imagine some songs later scipio's song is 'protector of Rome' and some of the lyrics are almost the same as hannibals song but while #theres a lot of suspense and thrill in Hannibal's song with Scipius it is dread and caution awating for something impossible but not #surrendering #ohhhh a song about cannae will be hell on earth #'Monster at the Gates' for a song title about Hannibal arriving to the peninsula #'Monster of the Alps' also sounds good #'One last toast' as an ending song #okay got some worm juice out of my brain now i shall leave forever #punic wars #hannibal barca #scipio africanus

Roman grabbing Kendall by the collar to hold him back so Shiv could go and make the vote that he never could

Shiv voting to free them even though she already knew she couldn't leave

The two of them witnessing each other all their lives, Shiv's mind being changed by Ken's treatment of Roman, Roman's "she's fucking pregnant you piece of shit", Shiv genuinely wanting them to give Rome some space when she sees the state he's in, Roman standing up to Kendall and not backing down to help Shiv argue her point to the point of physical assault, Shiv putting her hand on his shoulder while they watch the video together, the two of them on the beach together talking it through where Logan and Kendall can't touch them

#they are THE siblings to me #have been since day one since they fought in that hospital lecture hall like kids #succession spoilers #succession #roman roy #shiv roy #i was gonna rewatch from the beginning but idk man idk if i can #this was so much #idk if i can watch kendall go through the transformation again

Rewatching succession it really is wild to see Kendall and Shiv convince themselves over and over again that they can "fix ATN/Waystar from the inside" only to completely abandon their morals the minute it gives them a strategic advantage.

When they're on the outside it's an endless diatribe about how evil and rotten the company is to its core, but the second they get the slightest whiff of power they suddenly decide the problems are actually really manageable and that with the right leadership it could be a force for good, and like...the saddest part is that they genuinely seem to believe that.

#where's that crime and punishment quote about how the worst thing is that you've betrayed yourself for nothing... #and they really seem to think its true! they genuinely believe that they can turn it around and make it good! it's not an act! #kendall really thinks he's a feminist and 'one of the good ones' and shiv really does think she stands with/for women and liberal #ideals and the truth is that no matter how much they might care about those things they will always love power more and they #are infinitely more invested in the power structures that keep injustice alive than they are in actually trying to stop injustice #roman is the only one who's actually aware and honest about how fucked it all is but he thinks that means everything's bullshit and #therefore nothing matters. which can be just as dangerous as convincing yourself you're the good guy (see: america decides) #that's one of the things i like so much about the ending for shiv and kendall bc they're finally forced to confront the lies they've been #telling themselves. and like. maybe that'll go nowhere. maybe they won't change. but they might. and the only hope they have #of actually growing as people and maybe doing something good is if that illusion gets shattered #idk man i just have so many thoughts about succession #succession #shiv roy #kendall roy

still not over how the way tom didn't go to logan's funeral because he was working was huge forshadowing for him becoming ceo. like roman cries and shows that he's actually human and boom. he's no longer in the running for the top job. but tom misses a funeral for work (something logan would absolutely do too), becoming the most inhumane of them all in that one moment, and it shows he can handle the job. he has basically become logan 2.0 with that decision and i think that's so wild

#this is in no way me calling tom inhuman in general i'm just saying #like that was his father-in-law and he didn't attened the funeral because he was working. he put work first #it's a HUGE parallel to logan missing connor's wedding #and in that moment that's when we see that tom can handle the pressures of this job. he can become the corporate shell of a man logan needed #idk i just have many thoughts still #succession #tom wambsgans #roman roy #logan roy

lucy gray is such a tragic character and frankly i think can’t catch me now just perfectly encapsulates her in every way. it’s made very clear that we‘ll never truly know what her ending is but we do know one thing and that is snow will literally never escape her. the mockingjays singing her song is genuinely so poetic. she is literally in the trees, in the breeze. she’s everywhere and nowhere, a ghost of snows past that he’ll never be able to shake.

#idk if this makes sense but lucy gray is my new roman empire man #lucy gray baird #coriolanus snow #tbosas #thg

Been on an ATLA animated series rewatch lately and the storm episode in S1 ATLA has me STOMPED BC IT NARRATES THE DARKEST MOMENTS OF BOTH ZUKO AND AANG'S LIVES PARALLELLY-

(SORRY I KNOW THIS MAY BE OLD NEWS BUT FOR SOME REASON I THOUGHT THESE WERE SEPERATE EPISODES BUT NO.)

But Oh, the parallel of an airbending boy who ran away from his destiny vs a firebending prince who rushed towards it too soon. With both ending in a tragedy where they were left alone grieving what they've lost..

I believe they're more of the Yin & Yang Duo of the series. (I know ppl associate that with zutara or something but they're more alike than people seem to think 🤔)

#MAN PEOPLE FOCUS ON SHIPPING TOO MUCH IN THIS FANDOM TO CONCENTRATE ON SOME OF THE HEARTBREAKING PARALLELS IN THIS SHOW SOMETIMES. #seriously HOW DID I NOT SEE THESE AT ALL THE LAST TIME I WATCHED IT? #atla #zuko #aang #atla meta #? #??? idk #kay rambles #kay speaks #kay's personal shit #THIS WAS MY FIRST FANDOM. MY ROMAN EMPIRE. I WILL FALL ONLY UPON ITS DEFEAT #atla rewatch #avatar the last airbender

seconds before disaster

no but seriously i think this is such a powerful shot. despite everything, jey in this moment didn’t see his abuser, but the man he grew up with. the fact that he was still willing to open his heart and forgive him after being mistreated for years is so heartbreaking

#this man ruins me emotionally on the daily #jesus christ #i’m in love with him #i hope he wins at summerslam but idk if wwe likes to give nice things #wwe #jey uso #jimmy uso #roman reigns #the bloodline #wwe smackdown

mabini!

I am. late to independence day, but I did borrow my art handle from mabini (his masonic name was katabay) so I feel obligated to do a portrait of him even if it's a little bit late!! (but also bc I'm obsessed with him, I'll draw him every day lbr)

#apolinario mabini #philippine history #usually i post more direct history art to my other account #but ngl im feeling some kind of hostility to posting ph history next to the dead romans. it grates on my nerves somehow #idk. but also the man himself matches the url here and we are CELEBRATING so it fits

“You’re basically engaged to him, so do something.”

“Basically engaged does not do much around here. I have less political power than you right now.” Leo picked up the knife, turned it so it was facing away from his neck and began to saw at the braid he’d done. “I am only betrothed- the Chief Lector and the Pharaoh’s sister are currently managing all the internal affairs considering I’m a suspect.”

She blinked at him and Leo suppressed a sigh.

“I didn’t kill him if that’s what you’re wondering.” And he didn’t use dark chaos magic or Roman tricks to make Carter leave either, despite what some of the more crusty magicians here assumed.

The knife sliced through the last of his hair and he dropped the braid into his bag, zippering it shut. Hopefully he could find a use for it later, but if not, at least he no longer was recognizable from the back.

“I didn’t think that,” Annabeth said quickly. “You’re just, kinda unassuming.”

“Thanks.”

when are we allowed to start talking about roman and pills. it's been two episodes in a row now guys when does this become a thing we talk about

#two prominent pill sightings in one episode is a coincidence #a third one in the next episode is a pattern #:| #succession #succession spoilers #roman roy #didn't wnat to think succession would pull such a non-succession move of This Character Is An Addict Now BTW. still hoping otherwise #cuz it just seems so unlike the show #but. idk man #feelin :| #we shall see i suppose
