worst group of roman senators to go on a roadtrip together?

Get in losers we're starting a civil war in a van

Driver: Mark Antony, who is incredibly drunk.

Shotgun: Sallust, the rat bastard historian who spends the whole time trying to video the shenanigans happening in the back.

Row 2:

Marcus Calpurnius Bibulus - Still with the poop bucket on him.

Julius Caesar - Everybody either wants to fuck him or wants to kill him. We're putting him between two people who want to kill him.

Quintus Lutatius Catulus Capitolinus - Hated Caesar before it was cool. Their feud escalated to the point of Caesar trying to put Catulus on trial for embezzlement and Catulus trying to frame Caesar for the Catilinarian conspiracy.

Row 3:

Cato the Elder - We are bringing him back from 150 years earlier solely so he can complain about the younger generation and bring cabbages on board. The cabbages are not used for the intended purpose.

Gaius Cassius Longinus - Is that a dagger in his pocket or is he happy to see you? (It's a dagger.) We're putting him in the center of the van for maximum stabbing reach in all directions. And also to torment him.

Cato the Younger - Initially delighted to meet his ancestor but within 10 minutes they will be shouting at each other over who is the Most Maiorum.

Row 4:

Publius Clodius Pulcher - It's not a party without Rome's sexiest crossdressing mob boss.

Titus Annius Milo - Clodius' worst enemy and real-life killer.

Cicero - Stuffed between Clodius and Milo. He is seriously considering jumping out the back window.

Strapped to the roof: Tiberius Claudius Nero, father of the future emperor Tiberius, whom nobody wanted here but they couldn't find a good excuse to leave him at home.

The one they meant to pick up but forgot about: Lepidus.

I give it 30 minutes before the van is on fire.

thinking about connor in prague saying "dad's theory was you got two fighting dogs, you send the weak one away, you punish the weak one." in relation to this episode, and the way the siblings view abuse inside their own family.

shiv and kendall and their belief that connor and roman are the weak dogs that got the brunt of logan's worst behavior, because abuse is reserved for the kids who can't behave - the ones who aren't smart and mature enough to make it in the world. abuse evokes pity, because abuse is what happens when you expect too much from people who obviously aren't capable of more.

and then they go forward in life, believing that they're just naturally more intelligent and more capable than connor and roman, as if being raised seeing what happens to you if you aren't a perfect child wasn't the entire point of the "punish the weak dog" mentality that logan instilled in them. the looming threat implied behind any praise they do receive that tacitly tells them "you're not like roman and connor" because everyone knows what happens to roman and connor.

the absolute height of the rich capitalist mindset. "we're succeeding because of our own merit, and other people fail because they don't have what it takes" when in reality they're succeeding because of arbitrary rules made up by someone who knows that infighting makes meaner dogs.

#he's literally putting them in a position where admitting that he abused them #forces them to admit that they're 'weak dogs' just like roman and connor #and that's SO antithetical to their own image of themselves that it would destabilize their entire worldview to admit that #and so they're stuck in this state of being able to admit that their dad IS abusive and he IS an asshole #but are absolutely unable to view themselves as receiving of that abuse #because being abused means being a victim. and victims are weak people who get fucked over. #and if they're weak people than how are they ever going to beat their dad? #they're so wrapped up in the worldview logan raised them in that they're completely unable to see #that he's set them up in a game they can't win #you can't heal from abuse if you can't admit that the things that happened to you were abuse in the first place #succession #also you may be asking 'vinnie didn't you make a post just like this last night' #and the answer is yes. but i'm still thinking about it. so.

Yoooo thank you haha I’m glad you like how I draw him !! Happy to hear that

yucky unfiltered version under the cut

i tried a super different coloring method too and it did not work particularly well lol

#trousled arts #evil art style challenge #undertale #papyrus #i guess. #fedora papyrus #if you asked me i think he should be more known as times new roman instead of fedora papyrus but WHATEVER #i decided if i was gonna draw him i would have to fix him. so he's cool now #he looks like he would have a transatlantic accent #and lets just ignore that the hat doesnt really actually fit on his head ok i didnt feel like dealing with that #anyway first and foremost this was just an excuse for me to prove that i Can draw skulls actually . i do in fact know what they look like #gotta know the rules before you mangle them until they are capable of making cartoon expressions

[percabeth4life]

Does anybody else find it kinda fucked up how Rick said that the Romans knew there had been Greek demigods at one point and that the reason they thought there weren't anymore is because they thought Rome "Perfected" the gods? Like, sir what the fuck?

So true- it's such a mess like that is literally not how it worked the Romans were an entirely different religion and set of beliefs- they just associated with and "borrowed" from the Greeks a whole lot. It's both fucked up and a gross misunderstanding of how that worked.

#The Romans more went #your gods are our gods just different! So you're good #They just slid other religions into their own like that and went thats good enough #anon asks #life answers #rr crit #new rome crit #nr crit #hoo #new rome

Logan: The quickest way to a man's heart is through the fourth and fifth rib.

Logan: The quickest way to a woman's heart too.

Logan: Anyone, really.

Virgil:

Logan: Oh, you wanted romantic advice.

Virgil: Yes, thanks!

Logan: Ask Roman.

#I know what you’re gonna say #why didn’t he just go to Roman first #well first of all : comedy #second: I don’t think Virgil would actually be comfortable asking romance directly for love advice #I Headcanon he might be a little intimidated by the idea and would rather ask someone who would be more direct about it #also this is open to any Virgil ship so you could say it prinxiety and he can’t ask Roman for that reason #also could be analogical and he’s indirectly asking Logan what he likes #up to you 😉 #thomas sanders #sanders sides #roman sanders #logan sanders #ts roman #Virgil sanders #ts virgil #ts logan #incorrect sanders sides #all Virgil ships #analogical #prinxiety #Moxiety #anxceit #dukexiety

Man, if I had a nickel every time Crassus had to "co-parent" with Cicero ...

if you think about it, roman property ceremonies are kind of like marriage ceremonies— (I am forcibly removed from rome by crassus)

#ask tag #you ever think about that time pompey AND caesar had to get involved to get them to reconcile #crassus is like. enough im DONE. and pompey and caesar are both just. well. lets not be hasty-- #anyway AU cicero would accidentally call crassus his wife and crassus would snap immediately #art tag #marcus licinius crassus #cicero #roman republic tag

[just-late-roman-republic-things]

Sertorious, Lucullus, Ventidius, Sex. Pompey and Tiberius enter an underrappreciated roman generals competition. Who wins best general? (And why isn't it Tiberius so he can forever keep being the guy nobody appreciated)

What counts as "underrated" here?

No members of the first or second triumvirate, nor Marius or Sulla, who are almost as well-known, at least on classics Tumblr.

Primary military campaigns must have occurred between 133 and 27 BCE. (This rules out Tiberius.)

No one who is likely to show up in a blockbuster movie or miniseries. (This rules out Agrippa, who appeared in Cleopatra (1963) and Imperium: Augustus.)

#i was so tempted to include cicero as a joke option but he would've won #also was tempted to include octavian since i actually do think his military ability is underrated. but he's too famous #lol tiberius doesn't even get to be in the underrated generals poll #polls #just roman asks

Why do you draw and ship skk if you don’t like dazai. I want a genuine reply

this is quite possibly the dumbest question i've ever been asked. i don't hate dazai. he's my second favorite character.

but he's also the character i have a love/hate relationship with due to the fact that he's so complex and intricately written. the moral grayness is such an intriguing aspect and it means i can't love him for everything, bc he HAS committed atrocities that i won't condone. however he's still my babygirl and i love him anyway

#also i ship skk bc i like toxic yaoi it's really that simple #best bsd couple award goes to them idc. this isn't even bc they're mainstream i would've loved them even if they were a rarepair #just bc their dynamic means the world to me. they r my roman empire #hope that helps #lotus’s asks

Nico: Wow, Thomas, I’m excited to finally see what your place is like!

Thomas: Don’t expect much.

*indistinct chatter going on*

Roman: Oh my goodness! Virgil, look, he’s so cute!!

Virgil: Roman, for the love of god, stop it.

Roman: But he’s adorable!

Logan: You two should really calm down.

Roman: BUT LOOK AT HIM!

Remus: butt

Virgil: Shut up!

Nico: Why are there so many of you, Thomas?

The sides: YOU CAN SEE US??

Thomas: YOU CAN SEE THEM?!
