Connected two (2) dots for the Prothean Brutecass AU. There is going to be mechanical Pompey. Cassius is going to do musical necromancy on him. The Wei Wuxian of it all.

fulvio's pangs of conscience briefly made me feel bad for him but sorry buddy, if your ultimate struggle is not knowing who you'd rather fuck you DON'T get the "i was born to weep" privileges

#the irony of his singing this in the presence of pompey's widow too. guy come on #catone in utica #spam tag #on the other hand. i'm sorry for what i'm gonna say but getting your dick sucked in the theatre of pompey is a hilarious degree of haunted

"fiction doesnt affect reality" people genuinely think that Caesar was assassinated within the senate building instead of the Theatre of Pompey because of the shakespeare play (/lighthearted)

#its so funny because we walked by the pompey theatre with a tour group and the guide was like 'yea caesar died over there' #just so nonchalant #and everyone but me and my art historian friend were surprised #because EVERYONE assumes the assassination took place in the actual senate building #or that he REALLY said 'et tu brute?' or whatever #its funny but is it #im joking im joshing fr dw #israa.txt

--or perhaps,' continues Octavian. 'You're angry that I've outplayed you at your own game because you were too busy fucking in your old master's house to notice anything that was going on around you.'

He smiles suddenly, bright and wide. 'Enjoy the party, Marcus.'

this scene takes place sometime after philippi, and was originally just some historical fiction I was writing last year for fun focusing on antony, octavian, and agrippa. then I got stressed out watching the new season of a show, started drawing while it played, and ended up turning it into a short comic lmao

the dialogue in this scene is referencing this bit out of Suetonius:

In early youth he incurred the reproach of sundry shameless acts. Sextus Pompey taunted him with effeminacy; Mark Antony with having earned adoption by his uncle through unnatural relations; and Lucius, brother of Mark Antony, that after sacrificing his honour to Caesar he had given himself to Aulus Hirtius in Spain for three hundred thousand sesterces, and that he used to singe his legs with red-hot nutshells, to make the hair grow softer. What is more, one day when there were plays in the theatre, all the people took as directed against him and loudly applauded the following line, spoken on the stage and referring to a priest of the Mother of the Gods, as he beat his timbrel: "See'st how a wanton's finger sways the world?"

Suetonius Augustus 68

what a fun group of people!! they should all eat each other

#octavian #mark antony #komiks tag #roman empire tag #WOW it's been a minute since i got to use that tag #the bit of my own writing (technically all of this is my own writing but in the text part of the post) is referencing #some shit about antony letting the conspirators go ahead and assassinate caesar for his own ends #which is fun to think about bc octavian proceeded to pull a similiar move but better #the gods favor one of you for sure lmao #i favor neither of you except for where i sided with octavian bc his narrative potential appeals to me more

Wednesday March 15.

Batten down the hatches: It's The Ides of March.

It's March 15, 44 BC. As many as 60 conspirators, led by Brutus and Cassius, await the arrival of the great Julius Caesar in the Theatre of Pompey for a meeting of the Senate. A mystical seer is among those gathered, and Caesar passes this mysterious figure on his way to the Theatre. Before the point of their meeting, the seer warned Caesar that harm would come to him on the Ides of March. On his way to Pompey, where he would be assassinated, Caesar passed the seer and joked: "Well, the Ides of March are come", with which he implied that the prophecy had not been fulfilled. "Aye, they are come, but they are not gone," the seer replied, and Caesar continued into the chamber. And the rest, as they say, is history. Well, would you look at that. Today's date is March 15, and you know what that means, Tumblrinas: it must be the #ides of march! Yay!

Naturally, as today is the big day, the #ides of march fandom has gone totally wild for March 15. And can you blame them? It's been a long year, after all. And it is right here you will find a mass of shitposts, memes, polls, and fanart all in tribute to the community's all-time favorite assassination.  

And remember, folks, trust no one. Not even Marcus Brutus x

Melpemone, The Muse of Tragedy.

Photography and text: Egisto Sani / CC BY-NC 4.0

This colossal statue may have been part of the decorations of the Theatre of Pompey in Rome. It was discovered without arms in 1496. In 1782, Giovanni Pierantoni restored the Muse’s statua as Melpomene, the Muse of Tragedy, by adding forearms and a modern tragic mask. Four other Muses were found towards the end of the 16th century in the same space. Melpomene was undoubtedly part of a group of nine muses who decorated the theater or the portico of Pompey Theater, the first stone spectacle building in Rome. This statute is the only one to have kept its original head. Former the statue belonged to the Vatican Collections; it was confiscated during the Napoleonic era in 1803, and was exchanged in 1815 with the “Laocoon”, which had been returned to the Vatican after the defeat of Napoleon.  Marble statue H. 3.92 mC. 50 BC. From Rome, Campus Martius, Theatre of Pompey. Department of Greek, Etruscan, and Roman Antiquities Paris, Musée du Louvre – (Ma. 411)

"If you do not have an ancestral household curse, not to worry, you can make your own. You will need some boats!" - Pompey probably.
